    Bitten

    Speaking of which, and maybe this should have a thread of it's own, but I recently started watching MTV's Teen Wolf. I'm almost done with season 1 and, honestly, it's NOT that bad. It's nothing like the 80s movie, I have no idea why they even named it that because I'm sure a lot of people...

    American Horror Story: Coven

    And it was stupid how easily they were dismantled. Make a magic rat maze and the SEC comes rolling in? Okay, whatever.

    Person of Interest

    So, they've made it known that the dude from Warehouse 13 was successful in creating his own version of the machine but apparently it was never brought online. But perhaps it IS and that is the system that Root is, unwittingly, communicating with. It would explain the differences in how it...

    Modern Family Season 4

    I stopped watching Modern Family beginning of last season. Just felt like the same gags over and over. Although Cam screaming like a girl never quite got old. Has Alex's tits got any bigger for this season? It became obvious they were trying to cover those puppies up.

    Bitten

    Attention all you werewolfs lovers out there: Canada's Space channel just started broadcasting "Bitten" starring Laura Vandervoort (aka Supergirl from Smallville). I've watched the first episode. Wasn't too bad. And, hey, get to see her ass so that's a bonus.

    American Horror Story: Coven

    Not really. Unless the finale is somehow amazing (which is in a couple of episodes). I pretty much wrote this season off as a loss.

    RIP Professor.

    And I thought you'd have endless adventures. RIP.

    Investing

    Is anyone into ETFs here? Wondering if there are any potentially "hot" ones for 2014. I opened a Vanguard account nearly two years ago and have been pumping funds into their VTI (Total Stock Market ETF). Needless to say, 2013 was pretty good.

    Working for Amazon Web Services

    We had a software engineer return to us after being employed by Amazon for little over a year. He didn't go into any real details, but he seemed to imply they aren't very organized. And we are tiny little potatoes compared to Amazon, so I was surprised he'd give up a career with them.

    Thanks, Warrik! Fantastic compilation you've provided. I'm mentally giving you +nets right now.

    Thanks for the information. Yeah, I'm currently reading through OReilly'sCSS3 The Missing Manual. I also have their Javascript JQuery book as well, which is next in line.

    Looking to learn HTML formatting

    Up until this point I mostly wrote various Windows based tools for our support guys. They were written in C# and WPF. WPF, if you don't know, is Microsoft's system for rendering the Windows GUI (as opposed to the old WinForms crap). It's based on XAML which is HTML-like markup. Anyway, I use...

    Looking to learn HTML formatting

    By the way, Microsoft Expression Web is now a free product. It's comparable to Adobe's Dreamweaver. It has some nice formatting abilities, as well being a pretty nice HTML and CSS editor. Unfortunately development on the product has ceased so it's Intellisense feature doesn't recognize some...

    American Horror Story: Coven

    This season has been somewhat of a disappointment. Honestly, Nan and Misty are the only two characters I even remotely care about. So much for Nan -- poor girl needs a break. She's been killed off in both seasons.

    Saving Mr. Banks

    This movie left the impression that Travers was happy with the movie. But from reading the Wiki page on the subject, it appears she was still quite pissed. There were no further Mary Poppins movies, for example. Plus, I found it odd that the movie, at the end, portrayed a heart-felt...

    Recommend a dating site

    I signed up for Zoosk a while back and constantly get spammed every day with a new "match" (despite having entered zero information about myself). What's hilarious is that every match is with an extremely attractive woman. Makes me wonder if it's actually an escort site. Speaking of which...

    Streaming video from PC to TV

    A guy at work claims to stream 1080p video. I think he has a Wireless-N set up. I use a WDTV-Live to stream from my PC. It just uses a simple network share (can also connect to the PS3 media server software). I wouldn't really recommend the WDTV as I think it's a piece of junk and there...

    Need advice for creating Usenet indexer site

    Yeah, I'm just going to pull NZB info off of Nzbs.org and process the .nfo files. I managed to scrape data off of a web site's actor page using HtmlAgilityPack for C#. My original idea was to use a search service (i.e. Google) for actor data and try to parse it, but that would be too...

    I rememberNew Zoo Revuefrom the 70s. Had some chick wearing mini-skirts and boots. I was way too young to get turned on, though.
