    Drown got a reaction from Tubsi in How does Linus make his graphs   
    I don't know if that's what he's using, but Excel works perfectly fine and you can achieve the same result very easily.
     
    - Get your data and write it in columns

     
    - Select everything, and go to Insert > Bar > 2D Bar


     
    You'll get a basic graph like this : 

     
    Double-click on the background (white), in Fill, select Picture or texture fill, and select the file of your choice

     
    Double-click on the white behind the bars, and select No Fill

     
    Adjust the text color like you would normally, and tweak the bars colors until you're satisfied.

    VGA itself does not output Audio - one of the ones I linked to you has a 3.5mm adapter that will sling the audio into the HDMI signal.

    Drown got a reaction from rilomino in The easy option for a computer desk.   
    Very interesting, that's a good alternative to buying a prebuilt desk with only one design.
    I prefer to build my own desks, it gives you a lot more control, but it can be a pain to work with wood when you don't have the proper tool, especially when it's for an interior furtniture that need to look good.
    Not a big fan of the 'tables' (replacing the legs) designs, but I guess you can some adjustments =P

    Drown got a reaction from Rusty Shackleford in Building piece by piece   
    I guess you can buy them in any order you want, you won't have anything working until you have all the parts anyways.
     
    I wouldn't recommand doing that though. Instead, save your money until you can buy everything at the same time, and by the time you can do it, chances are there will be new hardware out that can affect the prices of some components you had in mind - or provide better alternatives, like a revision for a product or something like that.
     
    You won't get a working computer faster by buying it piece by piece, so I see no practical advantages to doing it.

    A bit of an update to djdwosk97's build. It has the SLI capabilities, with reduced costs. I was torn between 1Tb hd + CPU cooler or the SSD, but I settled with the first, as I don't see the SSD as that big of a necessity (you can always add it later, anyway).

    Yes a 500w would be enough however i reccomend that you spring up for a 600w for future upgrades.

    Also for the case get the nzxt s340 : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-cas340wb1
    Bit more expensive but can be found on sale at 50$ most of the time.
    Edit:Also ditch the cpu cooler. The i5 4460 can't be overclocked which means that the stock intel cooler will suffice.

    I'd try and get a bit more than $1000, lose the ODD, and get a 4690k + z97 board (and buy a Hyper 212 when you can afford one). (The only downside to the Source 210 non-elite is that it does NOT have front USB 3.0)

    Just get a monitor with more than one input and plug both computers in at the same time. The monitor will have a function to let you switch back and forth.

    Use WinSCP with sftp protocol, it will automatically upload file when you save it in your editor. You just opening files without downloading them WinSCP will download it by itself.
     
    Edit:
    With those paths, you would need to make example for me, but if you create links make them relative than absolute, it is: without domain so after you move your site to another domain, links will still work like /index.php instead of http://www.example.com/index.php
     
    If you need to change something in many files you can download whole site on local and then find and replace in those files.

    Drown got a reaction from Raxxdude in Anyone that has ever worked on an MMORPG?   
    Could you give us a bit more information about the project?
     
    It's not about posting discouraging stuff, it's about being realistic. A MMORPG is the hardest game type that you can (attempt to) create, what experience do you have? What are your goals? What's your budget?
     
    Making your own game engine is probably out of the question, you'd spend years making an engine that can compete with what's available now, and even there you wouldn't have a game after these years of developpment.
     
    I'm asking all these questions because I'd like to see in what context you're asking this. It's pointless to take a lot of time to give detailed answers if it's a one-man project and that you're attempting to make a MMORPG because "it looks fun". (I'm not saying that's you, but I'd like to know if it is ^^)
