I can get Windows 8 Pro for free as a Uni student, do I go for it?
If I had to pay I would probably just stick with Windows 7, but my Uni has access to a whole bunch of free Microsoft stuff so I can get it for free if I choose to, so I've been putting more thought into it. What are your thoughts - do I bother, or do I ...

Either way, installing it is going to have to wait until Microsoft decide to fix the bug I've been having on Dreamspark that consistently prevents me from redeeming the product. Never mind, it's working now.

0x10c Video Update
I love how there are so many haters in the comments that think a 20% finished game should be absolutely flawless and that every game ever is supposed to have SUPAH DUPAH NEXT-GEN HD GRAPHIX.

@Nas: Closest I can describe it is a first person FTL crossed with EVE Online plus a programmable onboard computer.
@Shadoo: This is the correct response to not liking the game, I can respect that.
Oh wow

Imagine a game in which you can construct simple circuits with a fixed set of inputs and outputs, as well as user interfaces.
Each of those circuits would be contained inside a 'block' which can then be linked up to other blocks through the fixed inputs and outputs to make more complex circuits. Then take this system and set it inside a multiplayer environment in which all th...

Close to it. If any of you have played the decades-old PC game Widget Workshop, the programs inside each block look kinda like that.
Aaaaaaaand I'm back. Anything of particular importance happen while I was away?

I left at around 10-11am GMT last Friday.
Gonna be on holiday for a week.
Going down to Dartmouth today, and I'll be back next Friday. I have my mobile with me so I might be able to lurk very occassionally, but don't expect to see me much until then. See you in a week!

Apparently there's been a mass shooting in Denver, Colorado
Current totals stand at 12 dead and 50 admitted to hospital. Police have arrested a suspect and the FBI are climbing into his apartment through the window because he told them there were bombs inside.

A few questions for you guys regarding game servers.
Are there any games a enough of us play regularly to warrant a 24/7 server? Is it worth purchasing a dedicated server running said game/s for this community? If a dedicated server was set up, would people be willing to donate to support the ser...

Down because my computer sucks and apparently can't handle a server and a client at the same time.
I still can't access the new chat on Firefox by the way.
Is the removal of the cbox permanent or just for E3?

If I were to set up a Minecraft server again, would you guys prefer Classic Creative (with the custom server I used to use) or the latest Survival server?
Assuming anyone here still plays Minecraft.

But you spawn next to a guide, who exists for the sole purpose of telling you what to do

If anyone wanted to start playing it again I'd be happy to make a server

Is there some kind of point being made by this? Feels like the creator misunderstands the purpose of Captchas somewhat.

Shadoo, it's a European government, they're stupider than American governments when it comes to dealing with new technology and issues in ways that don't involve their 20th century ideals.

Oh boy.

My school has blocked Digibutter again (or at least /topics, but not individual posts apparently?).
This is either the second or third time this has happened now.

my school blocks anything more than 100 students log into
sharepoint(the student file database) gets blocked on a daily basis. The city is too lazy to fix it. Instead they took $40,000 of the school systems money and built an animal shelter and a rec center, and due to budget cuts we had to get rid of the varsity team and the eco student association ironically.
Now it's my birthday.
Lots of free stuff today.
