Seems like the courtroom in Solis is an easy way to AFK, if you can get a seat...

What's the easiest way to burn labor? I just became a Patron so I'm getting a lot of it quickly. I've just been mining Tigerspine in the mornings when it's relatively dead to build up a huge stack of stone/ore that I plan on burning if I get to 5k labor. I don't have a farm or anything yet...

Is there a reason I should buy the founder's pack vs. just buying credits? I totaled up what you get from the Silver pack and it's 7840 in credit value for $50. I can get 8500 credits for the same price... Seems like the $50 flat credit buy is the best money atm.

Thanks for the info. How hard is it to respec into another class at lvl 30 or so? This is the first time I've played the game so I'm still checking out all of the skill trees and haven't really settled on what I want yet. On the equipment side, are there any general rules for what type of...

How is leveling by using labor compared to grinding? I've been mixing some mining with questing (only lvl 15 atm). It seems to be pretty decent considering I can sell off the stone/ore I mine and purchase labor pots that yield more than the 3-4g they cost on the AH. I'm F2P at the moment...

This game looks far more interesting than anything else out on the MMO horizon that I've seen. Hope they don't fuck up the cash shop.

My take on it: It's a decent MODO clone. Pros: It's cheaper than a MODO habit is. Cons: It's not MODO. As it exists, the client is fairly buggy and there doesn't seem to be many people online at any given time. Draft Queues are firing every ~30 minutes tonight, which seems low given the...

Just got a beta invite to this after I signed up like a year ago. Is there still a large card power gap between existing players and new ones? Any way to acquire a semi-competitive deck without spending tons of cash?

Anyone got an IPT invite? Had an account in good standing there but apparently it got nuked due to inactivity. Weird...thought that after I met a certain threshold it was supposed to be permanent.

I'm in for beta because I'm a cheap jew. Will see you all in March. Despite ponytails general cringeworthiness, the last video sold me on Landmark. Looking promising.

Can someone comment on using 10-month Simple Moving Average as a rudimentary market indicator to buy/sell ETFs? I read about it inthisarticle. Relevant part quoted: Thissite lets you backtest a few ETFs with this strategy. Results for SPY spoilered below due to image size: Basically...

This is so fucking stupid it makes my head hurt. How far detached from reality are you?

Second what Soriak said. Get Tweaknews as a primary, pick whoever as your backup but you likely won't need them for new shows. For older shows, Tweaknews is still your best bet but they have removed some stuff. That said, if it's removed on Tweaknews it's very unlikely to be on another...

Buy a Weber, they're worth the premium. Gotthisas an engagement gift a few years back, works wonders. We use it 2-3 times a week in the summer. The grill light linked earlier is an awesome accessory as well.

Tweaknews has been solid for me so far. I mostly pick up TV shows and only a few items weren't able to complete (i.e. 500+ day old Fringe BR rips). I'm sure a few movies won't complete as well, but they definitely seem to be slower about DMCA requests than Astraweb or NewsGroupsDirect.

Oh, add my name to OP please - Apsilon I play a 79 LA Ranger, building a few other characters as well.

One note with this video - it seems to be fairly outdated. Unless you're godawful rich, don't chisel maps before 69, or preferably 70 due to their cost.

Not unless you have some RL friends playing with you, no, it's not worth doing maps in a group at least until the 70+ ones. It's not worth the hassle that a pug brings to this game, between the lag and the looting spree. It's especially bad in maps because you only have 6 portals to use, so if...

Technically it's still illegal since breaking any form of copy protection on CDs, DVDs, or BDs violates DMCA but anyone would be hard pressed to file a lawsuit against you if you downloaded those files via a system like Usenet. Torrents are obviously a different story since you upload as well...

If Amazon or another provider offered 1080p 5.1DD MKVs of television shows, free of DRM, for anything under ~$3 an episode I would be all over it. The current implementation of 'owning' digital TV shows is ridiculous since you can't easily play or transfer the file to a device beyond your...

This is what I'm thinking happened. I've used the login I created for PoE for a number of gaming related forums and that's almost certainly what compromised me. I scanned my system overnight with a number of tools and found no malicious software, so like I said I don't believe that it's a...

I definitely need to come up with a better password system as I've reused the pw that was compromised on other sites in the past. That said, I'm not sure I can really attribute this to PoE Helper either. If they had my account access they would've easily seen the amount of currency that I had...

Yeah, I hear ya. I always scoff at other people who get hacked so now it's my turn to plead my case. I'm sure it's something that was via my own fault, just trying to narrow it down now. Like I said, the only thing that I can really think that did it was the PoE Chrome extension since I...

Just an FYI - my account was compromised earlier this afternoon. Not to sound like a broken record, but I'm very good about keeping my system clean so I'm not sure where they got my password from. This is the first game that I've ever been hacked in and I've been playing online games since EQ...

Just a heads up that DogNZB is going to be opening up an invite system in the next few weeks for existing users in good status (new registrations will still be closed). Current plan is to let new users roam free for a month and then ask them to donate a one time fee (something like $10 or $25...

Can you clarify this? You make new Shadows and run them through all of the quests until A Caged Brute? Seems like that would take longer than 5-10 minutes. I'd like to get a couple of extra gems that I've been missing for my main.

The PoE homepage has a link to install the Open Beta client now for those of you who weren't in closed beta.

Anyone pick upFinal Fantasy Dimensionsyet? Reviews look pretty good but I'm still on the fence about shelling out $20 for a mobile game. Thoughts?

Soriak, the problem is primarily with movies but there are some issues with recent TV shows as well. Fringe is heavily monitored for one on Astraweb, and is removed almost immediately upon posting. DogNZB lists ~6 or so different versions of S05E11, and they're all removed from Astra's servers...

I just checked out tweaknews.eu after running into the same issue Shaky. I was able to pull down the most recent ep of Fringe via Tweaknews just now, whereas Astraweb had it deleted from their servers within an hour or two of it originally airing (and all subsequent posts of it were deleted as...

Did they add commas to the AH and trade windows? Didn't see that mentioned in the notes. I have a P35 Monk and P10 Wizard. Pretty stoked for this patch and will definitely be checking it out once it hits live sometime in June.

If you find performance on the QNAP sluggish (you will because of the low end processor on most NAS devices), I suggest installing the Plex server on a desktop if you have one and just point the folders to your QNAP. That way when the Plex server has to transcode a file the beefier computer...

It's pretty horrible on Google TV and Android as well. Their dev team is still fairly small given the number of clients they develop the UI for. That said, some of them really need an overhaul. The new Plex web interface shows that they can build nice GUIs, hopefully they'll give some updates...

In theory these devices support Plex Media Server installation packages and are able to run the media server software directly. However, the processors they use are unable to transcode video of 720p or higher (seethisfor a list of NAS's that support Plex installation on the NAS itself) and odds...

Short answer: It depends on the client that you're streaming to, but generally no, any h.264 video stream is not transcoded unless your network isn't capable of streaming the bitrate of the source file. Long answer: The Plex transoder can demux MKV files on the fly and transcode only the...

Theoretically you can backup anything since the space is unlimited. However, in practice I've found Carbonite limits your upload speed to their servers at around 2Mbps, so trying to upload TBs of data isn't really feasible. I only have ~100GB of photos and other important things backed up...

I'm doing this for my Movies/TV Shows and plan on purchasingthis Synology ds412+to do the job. I've looked at zfs/unraid solutions and the reality is it's going to cost you the same amount or more to get what the Synology has out of the box plus the giant hassle of setting it all up. You get...

Thanks man - appreciate it.

Where do you work? USAF What do you do? (Title/keywords) Aerospace Engineer What field/industry? Government/Defense Wages? ~75k Bonuses/SEP? Non-existent. Benefits? No cost medical (though the docs can be kind of shitty) Age? 28 Location? Midwest (cost of living is...

My wife and I were doing our budget for 2013 yesterday and determined that we'll end up having about 30-40k in unallocated income in the next CY after expenses. This takes into account maximum contributions for our respective 401k and IRA accounts. We don't plan on having children for another...
