    Dual Hotas---HELP

    You can even use two (HOTAS or not) sticks, and a throttle body. They don't even have to be from the same manufacturer. In most configurations, that tends to use up real-estate you could otherwise use for your keyboard but if you mount things with that in mind you should be fine.

    A little help with cord cutting (Canada)

    @Blind Owl, let us know how it works out? I have family in a similar boat who live in the NC region northeast of you.

    Updates, updates, updates

    That's Windows updates. Games that manage their own updates often don't let you do that. Blizzard does a pretty good job at notification, a few other do too. But the rest of the pack do not, including SC.

    Rock Report Revival - Coming Soon

    I don't have any specific requests yet, but ground navigation is sometimes an issue. SC seems to be missing a coordinate system of any sort, even though there are transmitting landmarks on virtually every planet or moon. Doesn't make a ton of sense that humans wouldn't have developed a...

    Server advice?

    I don't know why I didn't say this before. It just fell out of my head I guess: I still recommend renting space on a host somewhere. But if your solution requires you to do local development, there is a solution I've used quite a lot for various tasks like local backup, extra storage...

    Okay so three of these, and three cards to drive them is. . .

    That's too cool but the price is lower than the ballpark I expected for this by a wide margin.

    @Sirus7264 is right, it's true. I can also confirm there is a very large amount of misinformation that has been published by some companies over the past 4 or 5 years, just adding to everyone's confusion. What is hitting trade shows right now is real, but prototypes... not products...

    Hey, that is actually a thing. Just ask the Canadian Navy. EDIT: I should add it was not an intentional design feature.

    Programmers - Coding in C

    I don't think there's no use for NoSql for accounting, I just don't think financial transactions are served by it. But if you're gathering data on your customers or suppliers for example, sometimes that data doesn't fit nicely in a SQL table structure. It really helps to have options. In...

    Citizen 404, its almost spring time, STOP THE SNOW!

    That's good... you're in the UK, the folks in Eastern Canada probably didn't put enough postage on the weather to send it to you... because it stuck to their shoreline. again.

    Citizen 404, its almost spring time, STOP THE SNOW!

    Heh. We got a bit of rain earlier but temperature outside is just around a comfortable 20C (68F for my neighbors) between Houston and Galveston.

    This is a complex topic ... Latency is certainly an issue, and for gaming a big issue - but latency of less than 100ms is not normally detectable, because the human brain processes data much slower than the speed of light and stuff. In a real time application like a game, we might have 100ms...

    The idea I had bore fruit. I don't know quite how to explain it or explain what my interest in it is. But if you're interested in that kind of thing, read: VR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality AR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality MR...

    Oh snap. @Shadow Reaper and @marcsand2 just gave me an idea... totally not related to SC. Thank you, I'll explain but not this second.

    I think it's actually the way to fly. If you have to see the controls, you're looking at your hands, that is not where your eyes should be pointing.

    There are some technical and legal caveats to use this for the front windscreen on the family car, but the tech to do this has existed for a while now, complete with night vision. In the family car, this technology is going to be stepped over entirely by AI and driverless vehicles. While you...
