After intel did the transfer they sent you a new barcode? If so just use the barcode in the 2nd email you got after the transfer was complete.
That depends...
Since this is loaned equipment we are watching the locks like a hawk. If someone checks out a lock one of my staff has to put it on there and take it off. So you have to come up and get one of us to unlock your laptop for you whenever you want to remove it from the room, and put it back on when you return.
If you want to deal with that then cool, go ahead and return the lock you bought
If you want to come and go as you please without getting us to unlock your laptop for you then use the one you got.
We are doing it this way (just like last year) becuase the person loaning us the huge box of locks borrowed them from his work (with permission) for you guys to use. Dont want him to get in trouble or anything if too many go missing
Yah, I also spent $40 on a laptop lock it was insisted I needed to buy. I don't have the receipt anymore either.
Money well spent!
I doubt we will have it next year as my staff guy that is providing them is moving jobs.
I suppose I'll just sell it after this is over.
yummm

PAX Prime 2013 Buttoneering!
I was wondering if there are any rules against bringing monitor arms that attach to desks? I saw the pictures from last year and it looks like normal folding tables which the monitor arm can attach too.
Thanks in advance!
1) Is there wireless available? I'd like to bring my tabletPC for running Ventrilo while I play WoW, but if there's no wireless then that won't work since I'll be using my single port on my desktop.
2) Is there a restriction on food? I'd like to bring a small cooler with drinks and lunch/dinner and keep it at my seat. Much more comfortable than trying to get subway or run off a few blocks to avoid the crowds.

Please avoid using a monitor arm, they usually get in the way of other peoples seats. Remember theres 3 people to a table and you get about 30" of space.
At this point theres no wireless thats connected to the BYOC network. You can run ventrilo on the same machine you are gaming on.
Also remember that you are limited on your space (dont invade anybody elses space), and power since a laptop+desktop is effictivley two machines. If we start tripping breakers we are going to hunt down culprits and tell them to stash the extras.
no restriction on food but dont bring in a cooler (unless its a small lunch box style one, thats fine). They take up too much room, plus you arent allowed to bring in lots of outside food or drink to the WSCTC. its fine if you are bringing stuff in for immediate consumption but other than that its a nono. Stash the cooler in your car (if you are parking there).
If you are just bringing a small lunchbox style cooler to keep sandwiches or somesuch in then thats cool. Just dont make a mess or spill anything.
What can I do with my pass? I don't want to leave just an empty seat.
Can I still sell it or something at the event before BYOC is open? Is hand transfer allowed?
Or do I just keep it and leave the seat open? help!
It's Tuesday, there's still plenty of time to pickup a replacement hard drive, install an OS and the games of your choice.
In the meantime my BYOC is for sale...
Did NoJoe (the video contest winner) ask you about switching seats? He's got friends in TB-14 and TB-15 who'd love to have him sit with us! :winky:
If you've got two network ports on your desktop, you should be able to use Internet Connection Sharing to provide network access to your tablet.
Yes.
It's in the "PC Area". The check-in area is clearly marked on there.
he did but we cant move people out of their seats (its assigned seating for a reason). he would have had to PM everyone around you guys and ask them to move.
He is just going to keep the contest seat.
Ask someone if they have a hdd you can borrow for the event?
You'll have to rig up something creative to mount it in a desktop, but all the connectors are there and the price is right: free for the taking.

Can't wait, it should be a blast!
You can get in as early as 7am on friday, but you must wait at the top of the escalators by the tullys. Theres that little garden area with tables and such at the top of the escalators.

Cool. Thanks bigred.
Now I just hope this lcd monitor box doesn't fail me.
ALSO--
[strike]I have some EL wire but I can't think of anything creative to do with it. I've used double sided clear tape before to sticky it all together into words but what to write?(EVGA was there previously but I can't think of anything to put there) I also could lace my ancient but awesome keyboard with it as well. Decisions- decisions...[/strike]
I figured it out. maybe I just needed to post this.
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME

Hey reinekec:
I have a 80gb sata hdd that you can use for pax if you like. Its not much... but enough to load up windows, tf2, and a few other games.
And my family is going as well but they don't have BYOC passes. Do they just stay in line?
eww, what are you gonna play on that, the sims?
I'm also pretty sure that you can leave the room and join your family in line if you wish to.
What say you, oh mighty Big Red?
