PSN: SirSoriak

How often do the free games on PSN+ change? I'd like to pick up Uncharted 3 -- would be nice, ideally, if I could wait with activating my PSN+ membership until I have the PS4 and can get some use out of it. I thought the games for November had just been posted, so they will stay until December...

Maybe I missed this, but I was under the impression that Saul didn't actually fill her in on this? I was thinking just that as I watched the scene... it's painfully obvious that she should get an abortion, but TV can't allow for that to happen. It's ok to repeatedly stab someone in the throat...

My Nexus 5 just arrived and I have to say... I approve! KitKat is going to take a little getting used to. One particular dislike is that I can't add a homescreen to the left of the main screen -- that's reserved for Google Now. Before this I had Gmail and a few apps on the main screen, more apps...

Has the application deadline for transfer students at most colleges passed yet? Don't worry about completing your AS if you can transfer to a BS program, the latter supersedes the former. I would definitely aim for the best ranked program you can qualify for, though. It does make a big...

The economic value of Associate's degrees overall is actually surprisingly low. I'd strongly suggest going for a BS, which also opens up the possibility of continuing for a Masters. If the barrier to doing electrical engineering is debt, I wouldn't worry about it. That's the kind of degree that...

Netflix needs to buy the rights to this show like they did for Arrested Development. Needs more seasons.

There's no way the price of the PS4 is going to drop in the first year. If you know you won't be waiting at least 2 years, I don't think there's a point in delaying the purchase. Even then, you might get a version with more HDD space for the same price, or see a cut of at most $50, or $2/month...

States were supposed to set up their own ACA websites, and the couple states that did had no problems during the launch. It's the states that decided they didn't need to spend any money on this and maybe even wanted to disrupt the reform whose residents get to deal with the BS. Yes, it'd be nice...

I had plugged it into a wall charger and didn't see anything, but it does pulse orange when I connect it to my computer. Wonder if this is just an indicator that it is connecting or that it's charging. In any case, I'll leave it plugged in so it's ready when the PS4 arrives.Thanks!

I'm sure they'll sell a ton of phones off contract even, never mind the allure of the lower price tag for people on contract. Yes, people are stupid -- or uninformed, rather.

This may be a stupid question, but I'm charging my PS4 controller and I think my micro-USB charger seems to find somewhat loosely. Is the controller supposed to light up as it charges or once it finishes charging? Because it doesn't do either...

I ordered this one here:Amazon.com: Caseology Matte Finish Slim Fit Flexible Hybrid TPU Case for LG Google Nexus 5 (Matte Navy Blue): Cell Phones Accessories $3.51 with shipping after the $5 discount that was linked to a couple pages back.

Seems to me that this is a problem on the other person's end -- their mic picking up the sound from their speakers? If so, ask them to turn down their speakers or change the sensitivity of the mic.

I just got a shipping confirmation for my Nexus 5 (16GB, black). I ordered it at 2:16pm EDT and it was supposed to go out on November 5th. So I'll have it by Friday at the latest - wee. Appreciate it, thanks.

Can you point me toward a current thread for this? I've used a VOIP app once that ended up working rather poorly...

For GPS, I'd recommend buying the Sygic app. Costs $20, if I recall correctly, for the US maps and works like a charm. You can select which states to download, so it won't fill up your phone with maps you don't need, and search works even when you don't have internet access. It comes with lane...

Refreshing the website with devices feels like camping outside a store... except, you know, with a chair and heating.

I ended up going with Similicious.com. They ship a SIM card to the US with 500MB of data for $53 ($47 before tax). Given the cost of a SIM card and a data plan, this seems cheaper than the plans I could find on my own. Usually, those travel SIMs are rip offs, so this rate is pretty surprising...

That's a shame... thanks, everyone.For some reason, I figured cell phone plans in the US were more expensive than elsewhere. The lack of useful data plans in Canada is really surprising to me.

I was hoping the PS4 could replace my Boxee... I guess I'm not really missing the functionality, but it does seem like a pretty dumb omission. They don't gain anything by having me stream my music on my desktop and I'd rather spend $60 on a boxee than $10/month on Sony's media plan.

I'm going to be in Toronto for a few days in November. My T-Mobile prepaid plan doesn't come with any international data add-on (no matter how overpriced), and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a prepaid data plan in Canada. I'm there for 4 days and would really just need data. I...

Doesn't seem to be available in my area. I can get "Blast Internet" which is 50Mbps + Digital Economy + HBO for $70/month (intro rate for 12 months, after which it jumps to $90/month). Then there's also a $10/month "HD Receiver Fee" -- which is apparently a fee for receiving HD content, not for...

Just a heads up: I'm now out of invites, sorry.

What tool are you using to track your investments, Eomer? That looks pretty cool.

Killzone hasn't been delayed yet, has it? The delay of Watch Dog is disappointing, but makes my choice easier as to which of the two to get for release day. Can't play more than one game simultaneously...

I had some friends over and put my tablet on a counter with the YouTube app open. Streamed music videos to the TV via Chromecast. I know it's cheesy and there's probably some ad showing just that... but damn if people didn't love playing around with it. Worth $35 just for that.

Fidelity sells off short-term U.S. government debt So there is that... It's pretty interesting, actually. In a week, we could hit a brick wall that will likely be much worse than the Great Recession. I suspect the first order of business will be to prioritize debt payments over any other...

Chromecast is awesome for YouTube videos, but I find the performance streaming other videos via the Chrome plugin pretty poor. The computer, router, and TV are all in the same room, and something like Bill Maher's "Overtime" shouldn't impose that much of a demand. It still freezes constantly.

I recently flew Southwest for the first time and it was a bit unusual not to have an assigned seat. That said, it wasn't a bad experience and I'd fly with them again if they were the cheapest. I'm not sure why they don't let google flights list their prices as it seems that would help them get...

How are these things legal?

Ok, I launched the Alliance "Mistwalkers" -- let's take over this world.

It's not available in the Play Store anymore. I suspect they're about to release the successor. For what it's worth, I love my N4. I wish they had included LTE given that Sprint is building it out now. But hey, I'll probably replace it again in a year or two. For now, I don't really need the...

Only at first glance, but it's really a false equivalency. Few people oppose military intervention in any and all cases -- and the ones who do, are protesting now, too. You don't hear anything because there aren't that many of them. There are two important differences here: 1) there is a...

There are a Chrome and a Firefox plugin that adds some useful features to the game -- see here for link:https://sites.google.com/site/tiberi...manual/add-ons Collecting all resources in your base with one click, for example (I think that's part of one of the included scripts). Also a button...

We could create an alliance of our own. Any thoughts? I suck at naming things. edit: I think you just click on Alliance in the top menu and enter a name + abbreviation. Mistwalkers [FOH]?

I don't think so. Location in this game matters, from what I gather so far: players have to try and move to the center, which is dominated by enemies. So you have to make progress to get closer. But if you start on the same server and in the 6 o'clock slice (it'll make sense on the screen), you...

I just started Tiberium Alliance -- a C&C online game:https://www.tiberiumalliances.com/ Started on the newest server (opened 9/13) and picked as starting location the south-most slice of the world. Which side you pick apparently doesn't have an impact on whom you can team up with, but I...

That scene was awesome. I hate those morning shows...

Just don't think of Forbes as some unbiased source... If you're interested in marketing, why not consider a Coursera class? This one is offered by Wharton, and it's free:https://www.coursera.org/course/marketing They list it as a graduate-level MBA course, so it's probably better than some...
