Hi r/China! I've received a disturbing piece of information from my partner living in Nanjing. Apparently, she and six of her friends cannot access their Bank of America accounts via Chinese ATM machines. This includes ATMs of:

• China Construction Bank, with whom BofA has a no-fee transaction agreement, whose ATMs return bank errors
• People's Bank, whose ATMs return PIN errors
• Growing Wealth Bank, whose ATMs return card errors

We thought her card might have become demagnetized, or that she could have been entering her PIN incorrectly, until we learned of the six(!!) others having the same issue. We also double-checked the basic stuff: her account is active, the card is open, the travel

So, I'm working with a friend on troubleshooting a mid-range machine that he put together, and we've hit on an issue with the memory that we just can't figure out.

Specs of the machine:

• AMD Llano A6-3650 CPU/GPU chip
• Biostar A75MG mobo, originally an ASRock A75M
• Kingston HyperX DDR3 memory, 4GB x2
• Antec 430W PSU
• WD SATA HD, Samsung optical

So, the trouble began when the machine wouldn't even POST. Bad motherboard, we though. So we swapped to the Biostar board as above. Machine POSTed, OS began booting.

At this point, Windows 7 started having some serious stability issues. Machine would either bluescreen while booting, or get into the OS only to bluescreen out shortly after, or

So, here's the backstory. I recently moved in with a new housemate, who had an existing network in place. Rather than change all its settings, I had hoped to migrate my equipment cleanly using DHCP. That's partly what DHCP is for, right? Well, unfortunately, I have a headless Ubuntu server that doesn't seem to want to play nicely with the new setup.

The previous network was managed by a Linksys E2000 device running DD-WRT, and assigned IPs over a 192.168.1.0/24 format.

The new network is managed by an Arris TG852Gv2, one of the Comcast Xfinity internet-and-phone devices, and assigns IPs over 10.0.0.0/24. On the new device, I have most of the internal monitoring options disabled at the mome

Here are a handful of write-ups that explain the situation, as derived from the Wikileaks release on the matter that implicates Palantir:

So, I've recently gotten back into M:TG, thanks to a girlfriend who plays regularly. I was a big player in the Urza and Masques blocks, and I got out of it largely because I ran out of friends who were frequent players. Now that I'm back in, I'd love to find a few regular groups to play with.

So far, I've found that U-C has two card shops in town: Dragon's Table and Armored Gopher. Between the two, AG definitely has the more regularly updated website, which already has skewed my opinion in their favor. I also stopped by their shop recently, and the guys running the place were quite friendly. From the discussion on [a thread here

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A SINGLES MATCHUP BARCRAWL TSHIRT AT ALL, PLEASE UPVOTE THIS THREAD. This is to gauge interest, so that we know whether or not to have a shirt printed in the first place (and this is a self-post, so I don't get karma lololol).

UPDATE: AS OF JAN 11, NO SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. This project relies on community input. If we don't get any designs, we won't print any shirts. So, if you want a shirt, cobble something together in MS Paint or on Google Drawings.

Following from honeyandvinegar's original thread on this idea, I'm organizing a t-shirt design contest for the sing
