Re: Dictatorship
The thing about kickstarters is this: you are not an investor . You are not obligated a say in anything, you are only guaranteed your kicstarter reward. It, like any other corporation, is a dictatorship, and that's the ideal scenario; a kickstarter could just sit there doing nothing once funded. You...

Re: Folder Sharing Question
the problem is windows has no unique way of identifying USB devices... because lots of USB devices don't even bother with uniquely identifying themselves(either excluding such or just doing it wrong).
The actual problem is your external enclosure is on its way out. Data is probably fine tho.

Re: Django Python Plotting: Speed Optimization
IIRC there are javascript frame works that draw graphs, it might be faster to send the data and let the client do the rendering.
you could also do the rendering of the plots to images on in a separate thread and cache the results.. I'm fairly sure you'd don't need 60fps rendering.

Disabling the prefetching won't prevent those errors; it means your ISP's dns servers are a bit overloaded, and firefox isn't doing anything wrong.

Re: Replacement video card advice
I have had no issues with dx9 games on my 660 Ti. Dx9 performance is a concern, go with another ATI card. Remember DX9 was essentially built around ATI's hardware at the time.
750ti is pretty nice upgrade all around tho.

You can techincally make your own VPN, it would mean leaving a computer on or using custom firmware on a router.
