    New house has what looks like two independent wired networks. No documentation. Any ideas?

    Thanks! I wanted to make sure I was not crazy.

    New house has what looks like two independent wired networks. No documentation. Any ideas?

    Forgive my likely stupid questions, I see the patch panel in my network closet, but I don't seem to see a switch? Am I just missing it or blind?

    New house has what looks like two independent wired networks. No documentation. Any ideas?

    Funny thing is, this is just a four bedroom house.

    New house has what looks like two independent wired networks. No documentation. Any ideas?

    Yeah, I don't need those phones. I wonder what this guy was doing with that many phone lines. For reference, here is a picture of one of the wall panels that are everywhere. For what it is worth, the white coax cable feeds the signal from my cable company, so at least I have that part...

    New house has what looks like two independent wired networks. No documentation. Any ideas?

    Most of the rooms have ethernet and coax network wall ports. The person I bought the house from didn't use them (he was not the first owner, who had the networks installed during the construction of the house), so he knew nothing about it. I am afraid I am a little out of my depth here, both in...

    To build crossfire ready or not, an upgrade path, 2 years from now (build advice)?

    The Antec 650W 80+ that I am looking at is going for about $100. I haven't really researched/priced anything with more wattage, but the SeaSonic SS-750KM3 750W seems nice, it runs about $130.

    To build crossfire ready or not, an upgrade path, 2 years from now (build advice)?

    I don't think I'll go 4k within two years. I will be running a dual monitor setup, however. Your logic regarding the 980ti vs. 680 SLI makes sense. I'll stick with running one card. Thanks for the advice, everyone.

    To build crossfire ready or not, an upgrade path, 2 years from now (build advice)?

    I am planning a new PC build. I am going to put a R9 390 card in my machine, with the assumption that I'll upgrade the card in 2 years. Would I be better served to put a crossfire ready PSU in my build, with the intention of buying another R9 390 in 2 years to create a crossfire setup, or...

    Why do we continue to allow so few to hoard to much wealth?

    Because we are overly optimistic. One day, we think, we too will have such wealth. We are protecting a vision of the future most of us will never achieve.

    Who's preordering X-COM?

    I did...been waiting on a seemingly decent remake for many, many, years.

    Do any of you have exp. renting out your homes?

    We have been renting out our house for a little more than 2 years now. We use a rental management company since we live several states away. We where able to get renters with solid 700+ credit ratings, and we have experienced no major issues so far. We probably spend 600-800 a year on random...

    Tennessee Evolution Bill Becomes Law

    Creationism is not science. Intelligent design is simply creationism re-branded. It is depressing and sad that such large swaths of humanity regard superstition and magic in the same or similar light to rigorous scientific research.

    Well, I meant among my toons.

    The **Official** SW: TOR Anandtech Guild (Roll Call, Allegiance, Class Etc)

    Haha, actually, I was using mephiston5 as my Mumble name. No in-game toons with any derivation of mephiston for a name.

    The Sith guild has not been formed yet...perhaps we can get it done this weekend.

    I know two people that I can vouch for that rolled empire and are interested in joining our guild. So, we should have enough...

    The **Official** SW: TOR Anandtech Guild (Roll Call, Allegiance, Class Etc)

    Man, relatively little love the the empire it seems. Any other empire players hiding out there?

    A tank (powertech) and a DPS (inquisitor).

    How large of a server do you think we need? I know two folks that would like to join the Empire guild, plus the interested parties posting in the forum.

    The **Official** SW: TOR Anandtech Guild (Roll Call, Allegiance, Class Etc)

    I think we take outsiders, but either require a post in this thread or have a current member recommend them.

    The **Official** SW: TOR Anandtech Guild (Roll Call, Allegiance, Class Etc)

    I rolled a bounty hunter (Lakatos) and an inquisitor (Vos). I will probably have my bounty hunter off Hutta later tonight or tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up to create the guild. My Bioware forum name is Clovus... Hopefully you guys can find me one way or the other.

    Nope, not required to play. I guess since we are paying a monthly fee, piracy is less of a concern. (Just double checked to make sure it was not installed.)
