It's a HTPC as in it's hooked up to a projector. But I use a mouse and keyboard on my lap and for all intents and purposes it's setup little different than a desktop. I'm actually really digging the text scaling that Win10 does. I used to just run at 720p on Win7 because shit was way too small...

Yeah, for me it's not that I don't "trust" my girlfriend. I very much do. She's not the cheating type, in the slightest. I just don't think that it's a great idea to put yourself in a situation where bad shit can happen, whether that be infidelity, rape, or what have you. The good thing is, is...

I will continue talking to myself. I ran Furmark on the 670 last night in various different tests, and all of them ran fine for 5-10 minutes each. Metro 2033 Redux and GTA 5 continued to crash the video driver within a minute or two. Prime95 runs fine as well, so it's not a CPU issue. So I don't...

Also came across this:Filter's Richard Patrick: 'Biggest Enabler for Scott Weiland Is the Audience' Also:Filters Worried About Scott Weiland Patrick was pretty spot on, although I don't know that you can necessarily blame audiences as enablers. It's his promoters and bandmates that were...

Haven't read that Rolling Stone thing, but I'm not sure if it was mentioned there or elsewhere that Weiland was apparently bi-polar as well. That could certainly play a large part both in his addictions, and in his being just an overall terrible human being. I remember reading an interview with...

Any thoughts on the Carrera Connected? Looks sexy.

You can always fly to Kelowna from Van to hit Revelstoke/Whitewater/Red Mountain. But yeah, those are still going to be 2-4 hours from Kelowna's airport, unfortunately. And from what you said, none of those resorts are worth it if you just want to ski groomers. If you're an enthusiast, though...

Oktoberfest is probably one of the most fun things I've been to. It's just an all around good time. There's 100,000 drunk Germans and tourists all crammed in there, and as far as I saw, not a single asshole causing problems. Everyone's just having a good time getting shitfaced, and no one seems...

Went on a ski trip last week and ended up sharing a king size bed with a female friend platonically. But she's a lesbian friend that I've known for a long time, and she's become friends with the girlfriend as well. I don't think anyone gave much of a shit. I certainly wouldn't care if my...

Finally got around to doing a clean install over the weekend. Actually first I did a reset, and was still having crashes. So then I did a clean install. And am still having near instant crashes in most games, with the video driver shitting the bed. So maybe I do have some sort of a hardware...

He was just pulling a Theo Fleury. Except, you know, not in the playoffs.

Love my 598's, and would probably prefer them black as well. I've got those ugly cream colored ones. Great headphones though. Only downside is that they're open, so not great for loud environments or pretending you can't hear the girlfriend bitching about something.

Fair. He's been next to useless without him. Kid has some skill, but zero hockey sense whatsoever. He might actually be retarded.

Yakupov out 2-4 weeks after the linesman horse collar tackle. God hates us.

Yours could count to 69.

Fucking linesman tackled him. What. The. Fuck.

Gotta keep up with the Jones's.

J-Roc tells it like it is:

The first thing to realize about investing is that increasing your rate of return by a percentage or two is going to have far, far less of an impact on your financial situation and be far more difficult to achieve than increasing your savings rate by reducing your spending. The reality is that...

Hey man, someone's gotta financially support the rest of the country.

They probably can't just fuel her back up and send it on it's way without extensive checks, validation, and some repairs. But just the same it's a very, very important proof of concept.

Edmonton. Like I said though, the place I saw the pricing at is a high end wine store downtown. Everything's probably 10-20% more expensive there than at a less high end store. Ugh, not a fan of that stuff at all. Maybe it's the coriander. Surprised to see it's rated so highly on various...

At the liquor store by my place, which is pretty expensive, the Phillips and CC/P49 ones were $100, and the "craft" one was $150. So yeah, none of them are cheap in the slightest. $4/beer is already pretty pricey. $6 is getting a bit ridiculous. But as far as I understand it with the craft one...

General rule of thumb is to have a rainy day fund of 2-3 months expenses that you do not touch, ever. But probably 90% of people don't do that. Most people will become financially stressed by a single missed pay check. Which is totally fucked if they're actually making a decent, high 5 or low...

It's not a hardware/power/temp issue. Like I said, prior to the upgrade the computer was rock solid and actually running fairly OC'd on both the CPU and GPU. I've set both back to defaults to eliminate that as an issue. GPU and CPU temps are reasonable for a small HTPC case, maxing out around...

I picked up three. BeerAdvent® Calendar - Craft Beer Importers Canada Inc. http://snowcasecalendar.com/ 2015 Craft Crossing Beer Advent Calendar Comes From Central City Parallel 49 | Beer Me British Columbia I've had a few from the Central City/Parallel 49 one so far. Jerkface 9000...

Out of curiosity, would the mismatch in video memory below have anything to do with it? Why is there shared graphics memory?

Well goddammit. I upgraded my HTPC over the weekend to Win10 as it's been working quite nicely on my laptop and desktop. Now I'm getting constant crashes in games, with the display driver taking a giant shit constantly. I have tried completely removing it, installing several older versions along...

Yeah. I thought the Oil played a good game. Unfortunately they're very much a one line team right now. Eberle is still getting warmed up. Third line can't produce much either. Hall and Draisatl got shut down, and that was enough. If they play like that every game though, they'll win more than...

That's fair.

Just do the upgrade. It will take an hour and you will hardly notice any differences. And those you do will be improvements.

I dunno, I find that now that I'm in to my mid 30's, youth fools me when it comes to women. I'll see what I initially think is a hot piece of ass walking around, and then I'll realize that she's actually not particularly good looking, she's just 20. So maybe that shit applies to 60 year old men...

Just wondering if any of you have noticed Draisatl? He started the year in the farm, and sort of faded into obscurity because of the McDavid hype. He was called up a couple games before McDavid got hurt to play wing. After McDavid got hurt, he moved to center with Hall and he's been unreal. 17...

Fuck you for making me count.

Not denying they had problems. I'm just saying that that shit is difficult and I really doubt that they were goofing things up because of incompetence or obvious oversights.

haha, that's pretty funny. It's kind of funny, because last year Eakins and MacT were claiming the team looked "visually better" while still getting their shit pushed in on a nightly basis. It was a big meme going around, because the fan base didn't buy it for even a second. But this year, the...

heh, I go to a business association thing every Friday morning. One of those leads associations. Most times every morning a couple of the people will get up and to a talk about their business for 10 minutes, but sometimes they'll bring in an outside speaker. One morning they brought in one of...

I had no idea people had so many problems with their butts.

Definitely one of the best live bands I've seen. Stage presence of the guitarist and bassist is meh, but Maynard and the lighting more than make up for it.

I'm sure hundreds of Soviet scientists and engineers overlooked such a simple solution due to incompetence, despite the fact that they otherwise designed probes that successfully accomplished a very difficult and technically challenging mission.
