These are some of the reasons I stopped gaming over the last ten years.
Another one is that I'm...well...I'm getting older...there, I said it!
But seriously, I miss the 90s sims games, especially MechWarrior 2 and flight sims like Aces of the Pacific and Falcon 3.0.

+1 on Aces and Falcon 3.0. I was also pretty particular to JetFighter -- while its cutting edge graphics and Soundblaster sound portrayed a more or less completely FLAT California, it at least had the decency to congratulate a successful bailout and extol the stimulating virtues of simulating.

Nice! It's real! Thought it was just another prank!
Yep, details should be coming tomorrow! Funny, because I was just replaying Fallout 1.

That's a really interesting project your working on jedidia. That Raspberry Pi is a very promising platform. We're pretty much in the same boat. I only worked on a few simple projects with Arduino before being hired.
This is the Texas Instruments CC3200 Launchpad. This MCU, clocked at 80 Mhz, has an integrated WiFi processor. This launchpad is simply a development platform. The real thing is the little chip in the middle.
If you were asking for the product we are building, I am not authorized to reveal anything about it, sorry.

I think they kicked that particular Idea after "the old republic".

That...wasn't Bethesda though, was it? I thought SWTOR was strictly an EA-venture

That was Bioware. I'd like to think Bethesda learned their lesson after The Elder Scrolls Online's inevitable failure though.

:facepalm:
The outcomes of the old republic and elder scrolls online are so similar that I mixed them up. :embarrassed:

Pretty much the standard result when you try to turn a great single player RPG into an MMO.

I don't know if there's an appropriate thread for this, but...

The first two designs are for the Europa Clipper proposal. The only difference in the second one I know of is that the team switched to using solar panels. The third design was released when NASA selected nine instruments for the official Europa mission. The multi-flyby concept offers great value so I'm glad NASA went with, essentially, the Europa Clipper.
Now for something completely irrelevant: I replaced the CPU of an aging computer. The first time I installed it I just put a dab of thermal paste on the middle. I decided that was dumb when the CPU hit 70C. So I went back in and re-installed the CPU with a thin layer of paste, and now it runs 5-10C cooler. Huge improvement. Remember to spread a thin layer of your paste across it evenly, kids.

The cooling paste must be thin!
It's a common mistake to add too much of it on the CPU when installing. People think that more paste means more heat transfer, but every material acts as an insulator and the thicker it is, the more it insulates.

Also remember not to spread it with your fingers if you don't want a fried CPU :lol:
On another note, ms-sql-server on locadb: disconnect, restart service, reconnect. Pretty much before any significant action, or it won't work. Makes you wonder why they didn't build it in as an automated action. It's like inversing the bloody polarity...
