Re: Counting Suicides in CTF

I can see how it could be tactical... In CTF it is tactical, probably at least 98% of the time. Good defenders suicide to keep their shields up, or to get back to their team's side quickly. Good flag-runners suicide to get full shields for their next run, or to hand off the flag to a teammate when ...

Re: Https everywhere for Internet Explorer

HTTP vs HTTPS I always assumed was primarily server related, not client. But I could be wrong. As far as I understand the HTTPS protocol is just "secure" hence S, and is used by most email based servers now. Such as Gmail, but the also have it on things like Runescape and such I guess as w...

Re: Your favorite brands of laptops that don't suck

Laptop? Really? I've never heard of someone building their own laptop. Yeah, it's actually interesting. It's harder, and sometimes very expensive, but it's possible. You can find anything to be the case really. Speaking as someone that just did a factory install for someone, avoid Dell like the pla...

Re: Your favorite brands of laptops that don't suck

If price doesn't matter? Then I'd go with Alienware, the issue? You'd also have to have some sort of supreme cooling system if it's destiny is a total gaming rig. Hence why it's pricey. Other then this? I usually go Dell, and Asus is good too. But in all honesty? If price doesn't matter, and you hav...
