Would be awesome to win the 4K Stealth.

Don't use a .tk domain, and don't use 000webhost. They can both be recognised as a virus if an antivirus is installed on a visitor's device. They also tend to inject advertising all over your site. I can get very cheap hosting for just R9/month (that's less than a dollar), which includes a free domain and basic hosting (300MB storage, unlimited bandwidth, no databases, 5 email accounts).

Nice! I thought it was impossible because it wants a newer OS than Windows XP (but it detects WINE as too old). What version of WINE is it running under? Did you have to pull some magic to get it to work?

WINE doesn't work with any version of Office past 2010.

Window controls at top-left generally = Mac OSX.

It's Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity -- yeah I'm one of those Linux users) with a skin called Flatabulous and changed system font to Helvetica Neue... But thanks

Undoubtedly <_<

Hi, everyone I don't know if there's a WAN Show suggestions area, so I'll just leave this here. I watch the WAN show every Saturday, and one of my biggest bugbears is that there is only really one scene, and the others are kind of just a "whatever this works" (though that is kind of the whole gist of the show ). The scene used while browsing articles is the worst, in my opinion, as it hides a lot of the article being viewed and is often re-scaled and altered during the show (as can be seen below). I have made a simple concept that may work better: The original source from the camera would be used twice and cropped to an area around where Luke and Linus would be visible (a lot less zoomed out than this image, though the same gist). Some advantages of this: (Subjectively) Looks more professional (especially if it were done properly, unlike above). You can hide the taskbar and tabs of the browser, showing only the article content. Branding and twitter tags/names are kept. Some disadvantages: A bit more processing power is required. It's the WAN show, so it's bound to just break all the time. You kind of have to remain within a certain area while speaking to be seen (though it isn't that confined). Thanks for your time. Love it or hate it, it's just a suggestion.

There is a difference between a browser and its engine. The browser itself utilises an engine to render pages, and the browser does everything else. You are essentially just building the padding around the rendering engine. I recommend that you just use something like webkit and build around it from there. Plenty of languages have pre-built webkit libs.

Go for a language that: You are good at / is easy to adapt to. Is regularly updated and has a modern framework. Provides good performance. Has the required features for the tasks you are trying to achieve. Is able to be ported across platforms -- I know you want it to be on Windows, but down the line you may realise that there is a demand for Mac or Linux users, too.

I suggest going for html, css, JavaScript, and PHP. Web development seems to be the future, what with the cloud becoming so huge and most apps migrating to the web. Even Windows' Modern apps are written using html, css and js. It's also an easy-ish starting point to understanding other programming languages and gets progressively harder with each of the languages I listed.

Web: OSX/Linux Networking: Linux Desktop: Windows is usually preferred because of visual studio. Android: Linux iOS: OSX

I think it makes the interactive experience more like a movie than real life, so it takes away from the idea of actually being in the game. That said, I think it does look nice.

Hiya, I am wondering if any of you develop websites for clients using Jekyll or other forms of flat file websites and, if so, how you handle content management for clients to easily edit the content of the site? Since there is no CMS, the client basically either has to understand html/markdown, the structure of the site, and how to use Jekyll - which a vast majority of people don't want to learn. The speed advantages of flat file sites is incredible, and can save the client a lot of money by not having to host on gargantuanly priced servers. Is it better to just go for Wordpress theme development? Thanks

I've found that both Edge and IE are better than Chrome on my PC, Windows tablet and laptop. In IE11 and Edge: Loads faster. Maintains a constant 60fps (especially when scrolling - oh my goodness chrome lags when scrolling... Try visiting a parallax site on Chrome and you will cringe). Pages load faster. This is due to chrome connecting through Google to take you to your website, similar to how clicking on a link in Google's search results takes you to a Google link and then the website (if Google's servers are down, Chrome won't work at all). Tabs load faster. Search result/page suggestions appear faster. Uses far less RAM. I get about 3~4 hours more battery life on my laptop, especially when watching videos. I don't know if you guys are using a special version of chrome or something, but it hasn't performed well for me in the last 2 years of using it. Firefox is quite a bit better, but doesn't use Google to sync my browser info, and I don't feel like taking the time to transfer all of my data. What could be making such a stark difference between the benchmarks in that video and my results? The video is based on performance - not usability. The title ignores Firefox because it has never really claimed to be the speed king, as webkit (which is the base layer of both Chrome and Opera) has on many occasions.

There are other simpler CMSs like October (www.octobercms.com) and Bolt (www.bolt.cm) that you could try. They have pretty cool templating support, which makes things really easy, since no PHP skill is required to make themes.

Ah. Sounds expensive. If I have two NICs, is it still possible with one adsl modem/router? I can't think of a way to have the router in bridge mode, but also in modem mode at the same time... Thanks

Hi, Is it possible to set up a pfSense proxy with only one NIC (2 VLANs) and one ADSL router? I've been trying for a while and nothing has worked. Thanks

Enable USB tethering then plug it in and disable any other connections on the PC

I am currently trying to make a membership list in MSExcel 2013 that will automatically, or upon "rendering" the document, transfer each row onto a new page in Word with a template -- each column's value in the designated position on the template. The purpose of this membership list is to send out payment amounts to each member. I'd prefer to be able to do this without using external coding (unless it is easy to do with Python -- I haven't found a method yet). Thanks

Java is hell to learn from code. It's so convoluted that by the time you get to the good stuff, you're already a few hundred lines down. That makes it difficult to learn from example (which is how I learn). I'd say that the 2nd best way to learn it would be to follow a tutorial series on YouTube on different projects and learn techniques from there.

Anything with a 6+2 or 8+2 power phase will do you well. The rest is up to choice of features.

M5A99FX R2.0 (which is 6+2) is used to get 5GHz on FX8350. That's pretty high. Lots of low-end boards just have copied and pasted information from higher-end boards. I once bought a 95W board (M5A78) for a 95W chip (FX6100) and it still throttled with great temps -- the VRMS were overheating and couldn't get enough power to the chip for turbo boost. Oh and I had to update the BIOS using another chip before I could use it (which was never really mentioned until they received enough complaints).

It does with FX processors. You need the extra wattage for more than 4 cores at a decent speed -- otherwise the cores downclock due to the lack of power or overheating VRM. The M5a97 will work great, plus have a lot of overclocking headroom with its high power capability.

Actually, .bat is the best language for making websites. I can @Echo off your PHP any day!
