Hobbling a PC
If you forget the bios password you can still use the reset switch on the motherboard to clear it, but it's not a bad idea. You can usually disable components in the BIOS to deal with possible hardware conflicts. Also, being on a local network with the machine in question kind of defeats the purpose of doing all this.

Hobbling a PC
He's over compensating because a work account of his was hacked. Imagine the scene from Mission Impossible where they have to break into the Pentagon traversing a web of laserwire to get to an isolated work station with no network access and you will have an idea of where he is going with this.

My observation was systemic, not ideological. However, I suppose you have a right to feel violated. Happens all the time though.

The make a spell function was nice in Morrowind though. I miss that.

Movies you've seen recently
Awkward product placement scenes are multiplying very fast this year. I don't particularly mind that every laptop is an Apple, but when they name the product and try to pretend it matters to the plot. It's just embarrassing to both the brand and the movie. But hey, anything for visibility and market penetration.

The Hobbit movie trailer has been released
Subterran species typically re absorb their eyes and grow extra appendages to help them move around. Let's be glad we are not slaves to realism.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I currently have two vampire mages as death thralls. There is a level limit, but plenty to chose from still. The dremora are always available though and can hold off just about anything on their own.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
There are epic level spells that require quests at the mage's guild. The conjuration ones are the most powerful, you can have two permanent high level zombies. The destruction spells aren't worth it as you could spam 5 lower level spells in the same interum. Alchemy can increase spell damage, I don't know if the base attribute does anything for damage or resistance. The game doesn't allow you much in the way of stats.

Yes. I'm thinking they should have done this classical animation style.

Singularity. It's nothing special, glad it was only a fiver.

The funny things thread part 3
Gravity does not scale, that's why giant ants aren't ruling the world. Also, the cat jumped. Do we have any reason to suspect it was suicidal or unable to judge the danger from a fall.

Kim Jong Il dies
I wonder if all those poor malnourished North Koreans would call it that.

Kim Jong Il dies
Let me suggest another analogy. A teenage boy who was never allowed to rebel against his mother, thus leading to an unhealthy co-dependent relationship. Now 40 years old he still lives in her basement and is rarely allowed anyoutside human contact, nor would he do very well in situations outside the confines of his imaginary kingdom.

Saw a TOR ad on a bigscreen in the metro. Looks like they are pushing it for Christmas here.

I think they can probably get away with doing very little on account of the success of the game. A gun and a hat, and it would still sell.

My bow does 1000 points of damage with the fortify marksman potion. It's ridiculous. Magic get's boring in the long run too, I like to mix it up.
