    The Astronomy Thread

    That was my understanding. There are no close-by quasars, only very distant ones. Which, obviously, means many billions of years ago that it occurred.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Yeah, I had a class with some blacks from the Congo. Really smart guys and you can tell they were there tolearn. They took the studies seriously.

    Gaming on Linux for n00bs

    Doesn't OpenGL have less visual effect features than DirectX? When I used to mess with Windows-on-Linux gaming, admittedly years ago, there was a definite visual quality difference in favor of Windows.

    Siberia - NBC

    Only two episodes so far, but as a Blair Witch fan (original, anyway) I'm really digging this. Definitely has a Lost meets Blair Witch vibe. I hope the production costs were low enough so NBC won't care about ratings too much.

    RIP Giantbomb's Ryan Davis

    chrome or firefox?

    Firefox on Windows, Chrome for my Linux boxes/VMs. Two must have add-ons for Firefox that don't exist (as far as I'm aware) for Chrome: Speeddial and DownThemAll. Big annoyance with Chrome-- when you download a file that big ass toolbar thing appears at the bottom. Fucking can't stand...

    Trying really hard not to fuck anyone or get them fired but...

    Interesting story. I've frequented many a fast food joint and I don't ever recall getting uncooked food. Complaining isn't being "white trash" unless you're trying to obtain unreasonable gains. But, as they say and kinda applies: "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."...

    Slightly burnt.

    Man of Steel

    Actually, no I don't. I was under the impression that Superman has neverdirectlykilled anyone or anything. And I'm speaking of the primary universe Superman -- not some alternate Earth storyline.

    Man of Steel

    Just got back from seeing this -- I don't know what criteria classifies someone as a "huge" Superman fan, but I will say he is my favorite out of all superheroes. I often watch the animated movies and loved the character during Justice League / Justice League Unlimited run. That said, I...

    The Last of Us

    NaughtyDog is also the creator of the absolutely amazing 3DO title "Way of the Warrior" (refer to my amazing avatar).

    Revolution

    Pretty good finale. I hope they don't press the "reset button" -- also hope Philly and Georgia actually do get nuked. That would be pretty ballsy. AND, looks like Romney eventually DID become president:

    .GIF - Jiff or Giff?

    In my MANY years of computing I've never heard it pronounced with a hard-"g". Always as "jiff".

    Bates Motel

    It was renewed. Great series, have really enjoyed this one. Also, I don't think Norman did it.

    24: Legacy

    Even though the series got a little long in the tooth, I still enjoyed it. Would love to see it return. And Tony probably needs a job too.

    So, is The Machine free from being reset every 24 hours?

    Grimm

    And I'm glad they used the story to get Nick and weird-eyes back together RATHER than creating some new rift. Good epsiode, I enjoyed it. Past couple were rather boring.

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    The Mentalist

    The show is horrible, indeed, but I keep watching. Too bad Van Pelt got pregnant and fat, she was always nice to look at, at least. I doubt they will go this direction, but it would make somewhat sense if Red John is Jane's alter-ego. Makes sense ONLY if RJ's partners never physically saw...

    Revolution

    You know, this show gets a lot of grief but I think it's enjoyable with a "turn-off-your-brain-popcorn-mode" mentality. The characters are mostly likable, especially Miles, Gustavo, and the chick (what the hell is her name? who cares - rockin' bod). Some gripes about, for instance, why isn't...

    Orphan Black

    AND she isHOT.I like the dreadlocks version. Great show, been meaning to create a thread since none exist until now. Also, it's been renewed for a second season.

    The Following

    Carter was buried alive and died. Joe Carrol seemingly perished in a fire / explosion. Cliffhanger was Kevin Bacon and Raylan's ex getting stabbed by Bacon's fuck buddy.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Dear Abby, My problem is that I have a busy work and school life and there aren't really any easy avenues to meeting someone (school is mostly male-oriented classes, work even more so). I despise the bar scene and I don't drink so those type of social arenas are right out. I made a...

    Grimm

    Grimm does really well on Fridays. But take those same ratings and plop it in a Tuesday timeslot? Not sure if this is a good move at all.

    Was there a new episode last night (4/26)? I can't find it anywhere.

    Defiance (Syfy April 2013) TV Series and MMO

    Yeah, it was alright. Nothing amazing, but I liked the main character and his girl. Some good humor here and there. Will continue to watch.

    Mad Men

    I'm sort of in the same boat, although I enjoyed last night's episode a lot more than the premiere. Other than Peggy, I don't feel any of the characters have grown much over the past 5 seasons. With Don, it's the same shit over and over. You really want him to be a good guy and the capacity...

    Alright, so between TweakNews and Newshosting, are either of these inflicted with TakeDowns? I really need a to find an alternative to Giganews.
