As an avid Boxee user for my NAS streaming downloaded content, how does Chromecast replace it? Chromecast is still operative over Wifi, correct? There's no way WiFi can flawlessly stream 1080p DTS-HS MA (BluRay quality rips) in my experience. Sure it would be fine for 720p TV shows and crap, but...

That's reason enough for me not to swap to 8.1. I have been running Win7 on a 4.5GHz overclock / 2000MHz ram for a year and a half now without any hiccups. I would be infuriated if I suddenly needed to tweak my OC just because I swapped OS. Software shouldnt have any effect whatsoever on a...

Talk about some sandy Vaginas. Seriously, this is not the book. Get over it! I actually enjoyed the film quite a lot. The elf / dwarf romance didnt bother me at all. You know they have to throw some shit in there for the mainstream female audience and it wasnt that badly done, nor drawn out...

The loot in revamped CT was some of the best in the game outside of raids, thats why. Boots of Flowing Slime (FT3), etc for example.

It was him eating a carrot. He did the exact same thing in Bree in the LoTR trilogy. (Cant remember if it was an EE version or Theatrical too)

High Frame Rate = 48fps version of the film vs the traditional 24fps in normal movies. High frame rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't get me started. It's pretty much flat 15% of your income. My ex hasnt worked in over a decade. Because I earn so much, she basically does nothing and lives off of his support money. She has her own house (admittedly she bought before we had met) and at one point last year started bitching...

Hi, you must be new here! LOL

Coming from someone who has purchased Euro lux cars for my last 4 vehicles, even I have to admit Hyundai have come a long way over the last decade. I had a couple rentals over the last few years and have been fairly impressed. I would absolutely give them consideration if I were in the budget...

Ho ho ho!

I'm just happy with 7 and I see no need whatsoever to move to 8.1 I also find it shady as fuck that Microsoft is force feeding 8 down consumers' throats by stopping Retail sales of Win7 (Oct 30th, 2013) despite Windows 7 out-selling Win 8 / 8.1 month for month. If Win 8.1 was hugely...

It's far more than simple screen resolution. The color has significantly more depth to it. FWIW, the Thunderbolt is an LED backlit 2560 x 1440 IPS panel.

Scene 1: Smaug sleeping on a pile of gold. /rollcredits

Katie was smoking hot on the jury at tribal too. Not sure if she had a bad edit, but she just didn't seem to engage in the game at all. Props to Hayden for the mad scramble last week and also to Cierra for turning out to be quite the stellar player of the mental side of the game. I hope she...

London Underground shuts down with even the slightest flurries and cripples the entire city. Hell, I remember a few times when certain lines would be closed for "leaves on the tracks". Half the time I didnt bother coming in vs fighting a couple hours of busses to get into work.

Last serious GF was asian. And a god damn psychopath. I am perfectly happy to take my chances with a 1st world girl again! haha

More to do with the fact Shm slow makes everything that much simpler. Plus buffs on a tank class. There's a reason why there are so many! lol

Not defending our hugely overpriced medicine here in the USA, but you do know there's a fuckton of money spent on R&D for those medications before a single penny is earned, right? Pharmas arent just paying 2c manufacturing costs.

Must resist.. thinking SK/Shm/Mag or go War instead of SK... decisions decisions.

Gotta agree with Brahma. I played a Warrior and didnt get picked up for the uber guild until late Velious. I had pretty mediocre gear, but had tells as soon as I logged in for groups and go-to friends lists when I needed groups. I'd say my strength back then was dragging groups through Guk...

I'm American, she's British.

Yea, fucking Koreans copying everyone... not innovative at all with their Samsung products! *eyeroll*

None of those sources would output 4K, regardless of framerate. Also to note, pretty much all movies are displayed at 24 frames so the 30 frame limit wouldnt matter much. Once Cable / Satellite providers start offering 4K (sports / documentaries particularly), then I would want a full 60+ fps.

Yea, I completely agree with you. I was basically saying that, at this point, I think the only way we are going to see that is magic'ing ourselves back in time to relive EQ. Call me jaded with the status quo, but I am quickly losing faith in MMOs. I want it all to matter again, but it seems...

Yea, no! Take it from me; dealing with paying a fortune in child support for a son that's an entire Ocean away is not at all ideal. Being a Skype dad sucks!

I thought I had read the current work around is simply 2x HDMI cables. That said, I would absolutely wait until this tech has matured and come down in price. Hell, there's hardly any 4K media available anyway.

And $956 today! *sigh* I will check out coinbase.

Looks nice for a bare bone keyboard. I require Macro keys in a keyboard now though.

I think we just need to accept the fact that what we are all really looking for is a Kickstarter for a time machine to take us to March 1999.

No shit. Running the Karana's for me was a combination of Auto-Run and Right click mouse + Left / Right directional keys to pull off some strafing action to scout for murder Griffons. 1st person PoV for life!

I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I said to find another monitor that's far superior to the regular Thunderbolt for cheaper cost. (Thunderbolt is about a grand)

The couple sites I looked at wouldnt even take US Bank transfers! (BTC-e and another one) Kinda sucks I was looking at buying bitcoins yesterday at $750 a pop and they are already at $883 today. Seems its pretty damn difficult to get money into these exchanges. I cant fathom what it would be...

This is true. I guess I need to buy a DVD player.

Well this "office" also has a couch, two recliners, and a 55" LCD TV with a cable feed.. so.. no, not so ridiculous.

The only real solution I see is to find a woman at wealth parity with me. Which is just about impossible on top of all the other trash you need to weed out to find that potential future wife. I really do not mind the idea of marriage. I want to be married before having kids. But all of this...

You would think so, but: What effect will a prenuptial agreement have on a 401(k)? Then you also have articles like this that says even a Post-nup isnt iron clad. Court Ruling: Postnup Does Not Waive Spousal Rights To 401(K) - Forbes

Articles like this piss me the fuck off: Divorcing Women: The Truth About Your Husband's 401(k) And Other Assets - Forbes This would be my single largest hurdle in ever convincing myself that marriage is a viable option. For the last 12 years, I have worked overseas (large part of it in the...

As I said, you can spend a few grand for hotel memberships. But we are kind of getting sidetracked here.. I need advice (reference material) on how to get a good dumbbell workout done in the office where I am sat on my ass 12 hours a day doing mostly nothing at all.

Little more info: My 12 hour work days are 4 days a week. It's compounded by the fact I work nightshift and live in Qatar. Those work days are leaving the house around 330pm to be to work by 5pm. Off work again at 5am to get home around 530am. Those four days are perpetual work, shower, sleep...

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina Display) and a Thunderbolt display. The thing that's most jarring is the look of the Thunderbolt display compared to the Retina Display laptop. I am not sure exactly what magicery is going on with the Retina Display, but it makes the Thunderbolt look pretty dull and...
