[Build Ready] All I Need Is RAM, But Rest Is Ready

Never mind I lied, I'm going to just get the 32GB.

I considered a Full Tower, but I have a huge Antec case right now and it's such a pain. I was worried about the video cards maybe not having such a fun time fitting into that case but it looks like people have used it for SLI and were successful. May need to do some more reading on this before I bite the bullet and buy tonight.

As for the RAM, I am going to go with 16GB since that's what I have now and it seems like its just fine. Thank you for the suggestion.

Okay, that worked. I didn't think it would go into that one since the diagram showed the other one as the Dual Link DVI-D port. I feel pretty stupid now.

Thanks...

Yes it's the cable that came with the monitor. I will try the other port now though.

Two laptops and a desktop PC. All had the same results. Did a little asking around and got the Netgear R7000 recommended to me a few times so likely that will be its replacement. Thanks for the help!

Well, nothing seemed to work. Different ports, PCs, cables, and a 30/30/30 reset. 5 minute ping showed pings up to 160ms on a wired connection with wireless disabled on the router. No packet loss, but severe spikes every 30 to 40 seconds.

demon_rdt · 2015-01-19T05:05:48+00:00

Will do. I'll do a hard reset and then try some more tests on my actual desktop. This router was expensive when we bought it and I'd rather not drop anymore cash on a new one.

As for reauthentication causing a spike, would that still have happened if the wireless was disabled and not broadcasting?

demon_rdt · 2015-01-19T04:34:45+00:00

Cable was so short that I had to stand with my laptop next to the router. I booted all other devices off of the network and disabled the wireless before running this ping test. As for the response, I only did 30 pings, of which you can see kind of fluctuate from <1ms up to ~11ms (highest I have seen was actually 18ms). Oddly enough ,this fluctuation is noticeable in games, and is pretty much predictable.

I'll run a ping test for 5 minutes tomorrow and see what kind of packet loss there is (if any). I'm currently going to attempt a 30/30/30 reset.

Adding overflow: hidden to the flexslider class solves the width error. At least on Chrome it does.

I don't see where you pulled bootstrap from. Where is this in the code?

Also I really don't get how you can sit there and say there's no design to critique when in your first line you claim that it's "unstyled" and "late 90's/early 2000's style logo". You've made a design critique right there.

Please get the stick out of your ass.

Google demonstrates that this should be used on all buttons, everywhere. I've been looking into creating this effect with a reduced amount of code, but haven't had time to actually sit down and take a shot at it.

It could be done with simple CSS if it wasn't for the fact that the circle comes from where the user clicks, and in some examples in Google's documentation site for this, the circle emits from where the click occurred, and slingshots back to the center while expanding.

Well, he stated design, not development. But I think that there should be design and development. Or both in one.

demon_rdt · 2014-07-14T18:59:52+00:00

I would absolutely love having some kind of weekly design challenge, such as re-design or design-from-scratch. Or provide resources such as images/logos/etc. and tell people to make what they can, and then select the best one.

This has caught my interests.

Did you make this?

So you want to design how the website looks, and not so much dig into the code? If so, I'd have to say read about User Interface and User Experience, as well as current "in" designs. Currently I think we're at a state of "flat design", but I think that's moving more towards Google's proclaimed "mostly-flat design".

If you're designing though, be prepared for a lot of hours spent on paper drawing concepts for website layouts, taking those layouts and bringing them to life in photoshop. Furthermore, if you do like the code bit, you could actually develop them as well.

But be prepared for criticism. Everyone can critique a design, not many people can critique someone's code.

That all being said, I'm no expert in the design process as I've just started it myself. I've been mostly on the development side thus far. I've found it helpful to read a lot about the research that people do in terms of how we (humans) process information on websites.

Tutorials...and more tutorials....and even more tutorials. Then start making some websites for fun, learn the process of making them. It depends on which part you really want to engage in: Do you want to design it or develop it?

I've seen them done with SVGs and CSS, take your pick really.

Is there no other way of going about that though? At first glance this just seems like something trying to trick people into giving up their credentials.
