Long story short - browsing from Poland, my ISP is Orange, I've 10/1Mbps up/down, no other streaming site works as bad as gfycat. Once in a blue moon when it miraculously doesn't completely fuck up loading video, I get at most 20kBps, with less than 14 being more frequent.
Tested on Chrome and FF W10 desktop, FF Ubuntu desktop, and Chrome and FF android. Same deal every time.

If anyone can point me towards a diagnostics tool or utility I can use to check if it's my connection's fault (doubtful - I'm getting solid 10 down on every streaming site, with less than 50ms ping, from youtube, through webmshare, to porn sites), I'd be grateful.

Long story short - fanfiction.net kinda sucks as of late, so if you're not using 3rd party download apps - which you absolutely should until they pull their heads out of their arses - you are on the mercy of scripts.

If you want to freely highlight (and copy, and right click, and-) text on fanfiction.net, do this:

1. Download and install Greasemonkey addon (instruction)

2. Install this simple script http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/179482

Like in title, I have a bunch of files I want to quickly rename (delete part of name to be precise). Sounds simple. I'm using Powershell ISE 3.0.

I navigate to the folder with files to be renamed, and execute this command chain:

Get-ChildItem -rec | ForEach-Object -Process {$_.FullName} | move-item -literalpath $_ $_.Name.Replace("(生け花) ", "")

That returns error:

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

Preferably one that can be played on one PC, or with mixed setting (2 players on one PC, one over LAN/Internet). It should support X360 pads and keyboard, too.

Recently I played Trine 2 with my younger brother and sister, and it was a blast. I rarely see them, so it's a wonderful bonding experience.

tl;dr - Youtube app is shit, need something better.

Longer story - I think all of you know how bad is official youtube app. There are only 2 resolutions (HD and no HD, nobody f**king knows exact numbers), switching between apps turns off loading, turning off screen stops video... I could go on and on, but that's not the point. I tried using Firefox Beta with Youtube Centre addon with forced HTML5, but there's slight video delay which gets worse the longer watched video is.
What I'm basically looking for is app that uses my youtube account and:

• gives choice between all available video resolutions (or at least two HTML5)

• has clear UI

• gives choice between HTML5 and Flash video (I ha

First, setup and specs:

• 2 PCs in the same workgroup - both Windows 7 (32 Ult and 64 Pro), wireless set to automatically receive IP, default DNS; hereinafter referred to as TEHREI and KAMINA respectively (don't judge me)
• wireless router - ZTE Livebox FTTH v2 (standard piece of shit my ISP gives its clients to torment them) with latest firmware; its DHCP and WiFi settings; hereinafter referred to as Router
• range extender - Netgear WN3000RP (latest firmware, in range of both PCs and router; its IP, Wireless and [Status](http://i.imgur.c

I've been trying to do 3 things while trying to pring 129 pages long pdf:

• Print 2 pages on one side of paper
• Print double-sided (like Google Chrome can)
• Zoom in every page a little, because default page borders are too big

Now, after 2 hours of tinkering with Foxit Reader (newest, reinstalled to be sure), Adobe Reader (again, newest), Google Chrome, Microsoft XPS reader, MS Office 2007 and Libre Office, I'm frankly fucking pissed.

None of them can do all 3 things, and they aren't compatible with each other! Here's an example:

In Google Chrome I can print double sided (well, my printer is the standard sort, but GC "emulates" it and gives me directions how to insert the paper...

First - specs:

• graphics - MSI GF560 GTX-TI-M2D1GD5 - factory radiator and settings
• RAM - Kingston HyperX 2x4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 Intel XMP X2 Grey Series - factory settings
• AC (620W) + computer case - Logic Concept AT-B040-10-LOG620A-0002
• CPU - Intel CORE I5 2500K 3.3GHz LGA1155 - factory radiator and settings
• HDD - Seagate Barracuda Green, 3.5'', 1TB, SATAII, 32MB cache
• motherboard - MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) - factory settings
• OS - Windows 7 x64 Pro

Now problem:

PC works like a charm until I try to play demanding games (Just Cause 2, Battlefield 3), when it just turns off after 5 minutes of playing. When I power it up again and try to play games, it turns off even sooner.

What's the best battery I can purchase for SGS2? I heard that SGS3 one is way better than predecessor's, but I imagine it isn't backwards compatible. I would rather avoid unlicensed substitutes, but if I have no other choice I'd go with it.

What I recall about game is that it took place in XIX or XX century Europe, but it was stuck in medieval times thanks to fog full of monsters that was over whole continent, except places that had some kind of magic bells that repelled it.

You played a bald inquisitor, game was in TPP and... that's pretty much it.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me which title it was.

Edit: Thanks to Popitopp, now I know the name. It's a shitty game it seems.

I was pretty much out of the loop the whole time when reddit discussed that case, so could someone answer my few questions?

1. Can I get refund for games in my library? I technically not own them, but surely EU commission knows how bullshit TOS are, and prepared directive to counter that.

2. If I at any point don't agree with Steam TOS do I lose access to games and possibility of refund?

3. If any points of Steam TOS are in conflict with EU law, am I obliged to abide the former? What happens if Valve blatantly broke the law, I lose access to games, try to sue them and they back up with TOS saying I can't sue them?

I'm looking to buy a new Samsung Galaxy S2, but living in a forgery paradise I'm kind of afraid of being scammed.

I ordered S2 in a shop in nearest major city, and I'm going to pick it up personally. My country's law allows me to check its genuineness in said shop, so I'd like to someone to give me few tips as to distinguish if it's a real one or a fake.

I've watched some youtube videos about that, but they're recorded with a potato, person speaks in Russian or you have to get another phone to compare. Oh, and it's youtube.

I have a laptop with Win7 x32 and desktop PC with Win7 x64, both connect to the internet through wireless connection to router, but are also connected through ethernet cable to each other. They recognize each other without problem in both networks.

My problem is, when I transfer files from one to the other, they use wireless connection (who is often busy), and not high-speed wired one. How to force them to use the latter to communicate between each other, and wireless to access internet?

I managed to do it on WinXP on both about 2 years ago (it had to do something with network priorities, I bet), but can't manage to do it on 7.

Bloody hidden menus in bloody Win7...
