    Running cable in attic

    Thanks for the responses guys! If I might ask one more thing, possibly a silly question but may as well be sure. The cable I have is 26awg and obviously the access point is going to be powered via poe. I've read that 24awg is generally favoured for poe due to the additional heat at lower cable...

    Running cable in attic

    I'm looking at running about 15m of cat6 from my office, up the wall to the attic so that I can ceiling mount an access point in a more central location in the house (it's a very old terraced house, awful for signal). I'm really just looking for a bit of confirmation on whether or not I need any...

    Distro with fastest Disk Access = ?

    Maybe try using some of the different io schedulers the kernel makes available? There are a number of them (some trade off throughput for latency or vice versa) but some of them work better than others for ssd's and mechanical drives and some distro's use the same scheduler for all drives...

    how many have gone back to Yosemite?

    No problems at all here, been flawless so far. Seems faster on my somewhat aging iMac too.

    Think they changed it to PerfOverlay.drawFps 1 or something like that at least.

    You sure? Never experienced that behavior myself for as long as I've used gmail and the support page says:

    Borderlands 2 release date confirmed ( Launch trailer also )

    If you're farming the warrior after already beating the storyline mission where you kill him I'd almost say it's pointless trying to get a conference call off him. He has a significantly better chance of dropping legendaries when you kill him in the story (proof of this is all over the gearbox...

    ***Official GTX 670 thread***

    I went from a 5850 to a windforce 670 and it's definitely a noticeable step up :)

    What browser are you currently using?

    I constantly switch between chrome and safari, can't quite settle on one to use all the time. I do have to have the omnibar plugin for safari though, without that it's chrome all the way. *edit* Seems my prayers have been answered with the 5.2 preview of safari. It finally has an omnibar, not...

    *** Official OcUK Minecraft Server - Discussion and Rules ***

    Plugins are loaded for the entire server (regardless of the number of worlds), then depending on what a plugin does you can restrict it's functionality per world (if it supports it), or restrict the use of it's commands with permissions on a per world basis.

    Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

    As far as I know, flash suppressor only stops the muzzle flash, but it does so without affecting damage output. Regular suppressor reduces damage but also quietens the sound and stops you appearing on the radar when you fire. (not 100% on that last bit but I think that's the case). I find the...

    Safari, Firefox or Chrome

    I use chrome and safari mostly. Chrome gets on my nerves a little though as it doesn't update my download stack properly when I download things, and the window gets taller and taller because of the download bar sliding down all the time. Safari is lighter on features in some respects but it's...

    Not being able to bind to arrow keys or the side buttons of my mouse is killing me! I'm a little surprised that something so basic isn't complete yet.

    2500K And Gaming Problem

    I think he mentioned trying another card on the previous page without any luck. Did you get that other mobo today sas? Did it help?

    2500K And Gaming Problem

    It seems unlikely though, given you had zero problems when you first got the system. Things only started freaking out after changing your mobo and what-not. Although anything is worth a shot I suppose.

    Steam Games Not Detecting Graphic Settings

    Pretty sure it's never worked properly in source games as it's always recommended the same (rather low) settings for me despite having several different builds over the years. They're only recommended anyway, you can still set them as you like so it's not really that big a deal.

    Is This The Start To My 3gb Port Failing ?

    Check your advanced energy saving preferences. You probably have your hard drives set to spin down when they haven't been used in a while. I notice this myself as I have a separate hard drive for downloading to which isn't used often.
