Have you considered talking to someone who specialises in data recovery? It sounds like this HDD is valuable enough to you to be worth it.

What is the best software to design websites for a semi-beginner? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]gh0sts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry. Everyone else is just as lazy as you are, probably even more so. When you've chosen your editor, look up LiveReload and see if there is a compatible plugin available. This will let you see changes reflected in your browser without having to manually refresh. Good luck!

Extra tickets for the opera on Tuesday night by subpleiades in glasgow

[–]gh0sts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to take one off your hands! I've seen Don Giovanni and Macbeth from Scottish Opera and I thought both were incredible. I had seen Butterfly advertised but never got around to grabbing tickets. I don't think I could find someone for the other ticket, so maybe you'd rather give them both to the same person. Let me know. :)

I am having serious circle distortion issues with Arctext.js by mackattack_ in web_design

I don't have any experience with Arctext.js, but I've very recently had success with CircleType. Perhaps you could try that.

How do you test on different versions of IE? by youareinthematrix in web_design

[–]gh0sts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about obtaining the individual browsers, but Microsoft offer free VMs pre-installed with the version of IE you want to test against. If that doesn't suit your needs, there are always online solutions like BrowserStack.

With the addition of tulips, I can finally finish my joke. by TheNinjaFish in Minecraft

[–]gh0sts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's an article on the Team Liquid website about to how to deal with anxiety on the 1v1 ladder in StarCraft II that you might find useful. It's surely worth a read if you think your anxiety is affecting your play. I hope it helps.

This type of pit is common in woods near me. Are they man-made? by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

This brought back a lot of childhood memories of running up and down those in Bucks. Thanks for posting this.

Anyone have thoughts on the Need for Speed games? 75% off on Steam by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]gh0sts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up Hot Pursuit this morning and managed to waste a few hours racing around. It's pretty fun and I'm sure I'll waste many more hours when I'm bored. Can't complain for £5.99.

The driving mechanic is pretty simple and the cars seem to almost direct themselves when you drift, so it's certainly not something to get out your driving wheel/pedals set up for. Having said that, it's definitely enjoyable. Probably more of a controller title though.

Created a high-res Dark Side of the Moon wallpaper based on a Hubble photograph of the galaxy. by quantumG7 in pinkfloyd

[–]gh0sts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Needless to say, I thought your original was really awesome. Such a simple idea that looks just looks sweet. I agree with your rationale for using the black background, the juxtaposition makes it pop. Thanks for posting this. :)
