    Consoles without internet

    This has been a recurring topic for me lately that data seems unavailable for. Please note this question excludes PCs. One buys a current generation console with [disc / card] games for said console, which is only used where internet access is unavailable. Questions - 1517 - Is the console...

    World of Warcraft - The War Within

    Thank you. A very interesting meta-change that is probably to allow realm compression. Due to issues, I never could enjoy PvP that much but so many did. One hopes this change will not dissuade those players. Also, thank you all for your responses.

    World of Warcraft - The War Within

    Could you explain this? How does it differ from manually flagging PvP on a PvE realm?

    World of Warcraft - The War Within

    Seniorius Lurkius

    Wish I could remember my first ars-technica account. This was the second and largely ignored over the years as I struggled with ... issues. Glad that there is a fun title for my fellow lurkers, even if I am not in the fold.

    MechWarrior Online: Not just a vehicle to sell MW5:Mercs

    For the record, I never knew you could end a match with 0 damage. I blame someone who is not me.

    MechWarrior Online: Not just a vehicle to sell MW5:Mercs

    sniff Thanks, I knew I'd get there some day! So, how do I join the cirque de Ars for dropping shenanigans? I've lone wolfed with pugs until now. TeamSpeak is up and tested with some poor schmuck who was nice enough to say I was speaking clearly.

    Will you take a lurker for the night's festivities? edit: Well then, this is my 1K post. This, asking to accompany a mech'rotic group with strangely psychedelic paint schemes. Le sigh... be gentle

    Why your password can’t have symbols—or be longer than 16 characters

    Hello Ars, As a long time reader, I find this article incredibly shallow from a technological perspective. Many, many sites are simple interfacing with their internal systems. Those systems are all too often running two decade old OSes; which remember 8.3 and a host of other conventions...

    simple SQL query question (I hope)

    Self taught (and poorly at that) on SQL and I ran into something I cannot figure out if it is possible. Given that I have 2 tables: Cust_Info CI Cust_Rev_Info CRI I need to query CI with a child account to get the parent, then query CI with the parent to get all the child accounts...

    World of Warcarft - An odd request, turning to my friends @ ars for advice

    Since you keep throwing out development times and defending them, maybe I can help you understand. The fact that you and your workmates set an estimated time to do this without anywhere near the required information indicates you probably work at a small or small-ish company. Why is that...
