I'm glad I didn't have high hopes for the area then. Lol really just going to visit a friend who moved there. Tip:
If you want to get into a club at one of the casinos (especially since you are a guy) "do the right thing".
Pass money to the bouncers while saying that and no line for you! Not really a club guy. Even if I was I'm still pretty strapped for cash. Wouldn't even be making the trip if it wasn't preplanned and roommate would stop bugging me about it. X.x

You won't be missing much anyways. The clubs are pretty much like all clubs, at least what I remember. The cover charges are pretty insane for guys and then "tipping" just adds to it.
But at least it won't be super hot at this time of the year.
Edit:
I feel the need to pass on that advice to whomever visits Las Vegas. I can't even remember who told me that, but there used to be a story....I think it might have been a bartender at the Palms. Maybe Mil remembers

Clubs suck...
There's this guy that I do business with and he comes in about once a year and every year he wants to go to some new club he heard about... It gets worse every year...

I'm afraid not much is going to get done in niko's evil machine factory today.
I'm trying to find a print server that communicates over usb using old serial protocols and speeds... for some reason one of our diabolically evil machine manufactures updated the cable going into the machine but not the actual interface. >.<
and I can hook it up to a compy by downloading a usb to serial driver and making the compy think it's talking out of a serial port but I can't find a print server I can do the same thing with...

Yeah, I wanted to somehow connect all the dots with Nik's (since I have my suspicions about him being time traveling Lee Harvey Oswald) Polar Vortex Machine, Croce, Hendrix, Skynyrd, and climate change this morning, but the time has passed.
Trying to get things knocked out, so I can enjoy Mom-and-Me-Maximum-Marathon-Meal-Prep without having anything else floating around my skull.
EDIT: I think I blew my load with some of the 1960's yesterday anyway.

Most serial is two wire, similar to USB; if you have a serial port on your PC, you can try directly wiring the pins to see if that works. (pinouts are available online, just check that the voltage levels are compatible)
That's assuming your vendor doesn't have updated drivers which don"t require you to do the end run.
I'm guessing you don't have any support contract or such?

My friend and I used to do that back in the day he was "Iceman" and I was "Shooter" and we would claim responsibility for everything bad that had ever happened....kinda like evil forest gumps... Iceman was responsible for numerous "drunk driving accidents" like train derailments, plane crashes and perhaps most spectacularly the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
and "Shooter" killed everyone from JFK to John Lennon for a variety of reasons that hardly seemed worth arguing about (he killed JFK over a $20 bet that JFK welshed on) they both worked off and on for various sinister shadowy government organizations and spent a lot of time causing international incidents

the wiring is ok, it's the transmission speed that is the problem
USB 2.0 is 480 Mbit/s and old timey serial is 9600 baud LOL

USB 2.0 is 480 Mbit/s and old timey serial is 9600 baud LOL Eh, that's more along the line of the maximum rate, it certainly is able to be bumped down. If you are using some sort of virtual com port driver, you can probably adjust the settings for the driver. In windows, that is likely through the device manager, for other OSes... it will depend.

Yeah in windows I don't have a problem, I can fake it out with a USB to Serial driver and assign it a Com Port and then control the Baud rate on the com port
it's driving it remotely with a USB Print Server off a network.
I may have to go ethernet to serial and then serial to USB and make a box to hide all the adapters and gender changers in it so it doesn't look all hoopty

you know, I don't think my kid has played much in the snow yet, I wonder if she'll like it (hasn't snowed much) but now that she's a bit bigger she might, I know she didn't like the ocean the last time we went, that pissed her off.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
