    I downloaded them but forgot to listen to them last night. I spent most of my evening figuring out that the reason I was having stuttering on a couple of movies I had downloaded (acting the same way that the bluray ISO I had downloaded was acting, which I contributed to it being an ISO), when...

    Spatial Ability

    9/9 here as well, but I've always been good at those. 6 was definitely the one that took the longest for me. My strategy is much like others I'm sure, but I essentially took something like this approach. I'd look at a center block on the first one and fold 2 or 3 blocks down around it, see...

    Choose Your Own Avengers

    Come on man! The clear best team consists of: 1) Michael Knight (Knight Rider) 2) Stringfellow Hawke (Airwolf) 3) Officer Frank Poncharello (CHiPs) 4) Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (The Dukes of Hazzard) 5) B.A. Baracus (The A-Team)

    Some worthwhile series

    Some of us don't mind his politics! To be honest though, in the scope of the book and what the people in it have supposedly been through, it is sort of realistic for his characters to adhere to his beliefs about guns. Hell, I wouldn't take a shower without a gun strapped to me somewhere...

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    If you were to fix her teeth (they look fine to me, and yes I read where you were sort of fucking around, but you did bring it up so you've at least thought about it), you'd probably end up nitpicking something else, so you might as well just leave her teeth alone.

    Must Have Software

    Last time I tried a program like that, the audio ended up getting horribly out of sync. I'm assuming that isn't a noticeable problem with this?

    Some worthwhile series

    I love the shit out of Monster Hunter International, as I mentioned in that thread he linked most likely. As Grimmlokk mentioned, it isn't really like Dresden at all, but I fucking love it. It isn't for everyone, but if you like the first one you'll love the rest. I cannot wait for the next...

    Aside from the aforementioned huge upload credit you can get with it via freeleech (I have 1TB down and 8TB up on IPT, and 40,000 bonus points), I do as well. I like my porn ready at a moment's notice, not waiting for it to buffer when I try to click ahead to the good parts, or find the...

    Ok thanks. I caught that about the video bitrate probably as you were posting, but I appreciate the explanation to let me know if I actually need it. Which I have the feeling I don't. I cannot really see myself ever having something bigger than say an 80" TV in the next 10 years (doubtful I'd...

    Ok, I was sort of leaning towards DTS anyway. Interesting that those DD5.1 files are so much bigger. Here are the technical specs for a 1080p rip of Spider-Man 2002 which comes to a file size of just over 20GB: For comparison, here's an 11GB rip of World War Z in DTS-ES, whatever that is...

    Question for people that know more about this than I do. I've decided that since I pretty much replaced my entire book, music, and comic collection with digital versions of everything I own, I wouldn't mind doing the same with my old DVD collection. Typically I download everything in 720p...

    DIY Home Security

    If it were me, I'd buy a nice bump-proof deadbolt if I had the option. Living in an apartment, I don't, but if I had a home I would. I work at a company that sells commercial door hardware, and a guy I used to work with could bump a lock in 5-10 seconds max. I can't do it, but he could, so...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That's what I do at home, and at work where I'm the closest thing to a "computer expert" they have, but I know a LOT of companies would never let you install something like Keepass, let alone Dropbox where you could theoretically "steal company sekretz" just by dropping it in there. Obviously...

    So glad this show is back. I wasn't blown away by the episode, but I think that's because I'm just used to how great (and ridiculous) it is.

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    I don't avoid any due to ethics or hippie save the earth reasons either. If Wal-Mart has the cheapest price, I'm getting it from fucking Wal-Mart. However, I'm also lazy as fuck, so chances are that I will just sit here at work and search for it on Amazon, and if the price looks ok I'll just...

    Arrow

    I'm not a huge fan of Glau (I don't hate her, and I'd certainly let her get crumbs in the bed), but I'd say the biggest reason she's a "curse" is because she is almost exclusively cast in sci-fi series. How long have ANY of those ever lasted? Aside from X-Files, which wasn't really sci-fi like...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    I don't mind if you, and others, don't like the movie, but as Big Phoenix and others said, it is its simplicity that sets it above most of those other generic action movies you talk about. Nothing anyone says will change your mind so I'm not going to even attempt it, but the very thing you are...

    Going through the drive through at Taco Bell and ordering an enchirito, only to find that 75% of the time (maybe more) they don't put a fucking spork in the bag. I always check because it has happened way too many times, but seriously, how in the fuck would you ever eat an enchirito with just...

    The Fast Food Thread

    The smothered burrito is ok. It reminds me of way WAY back in the day when they had "Platters" 1, 2, and 3. They were basically Taco Bell's attempt at making a combo platter like a "real" Mexican restaurant would. It had stuff like a burrito, a taco, and a pintos and cheese, except none of...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    I'm not going to say I know for certain where every inspiration came from or who copied from whom (or didn't), but the concept of Dredd against an entire tower/block has existed in the comics for a long, long time. I realize this means nothing to someone that hasn't read those comics, and it...

    Arby's are in CA. Maybe not where you are, but there are at least 5 of them I know of in the Sacramento area, probably more if you count all the suburbs. Of course, the one a mile from where I work closed down a couple years ago (as did the fucking DQ, fuck!) so I don't have one close enough...

    He's already mentioned the apartment angle, but for anyone concerned about this, all you have to do is make sure the cylinder you purchase has side-milling. Most every manufacturer now has that option, some specifically touted as "bump-proof", that will fit in almost all of their better quality...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    That's the same one I had found, guess that's probably the most definitive one out there. Thanks! I know someone from FoH had a google docs page or something similar that tracked what they felt was the best order to read different arcs in, like X-Men stuff, Avengers, etc. No idea if it had...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    I haven't been able to find a good reading order for pre-Annihilation cosmic stuff (Infinity Wars, Gauntlet, Death of Captain Marvel, Warlock, etc.). I read most of them back in the day, but I want to read them again now that we're talking about it. Anyone have one as definitive as that...

    Luther

    I didn't read the interview yet, but it seems there is no way Alice would be a part of it, which kind of ruins it for me. I mean, Idris Elba is great and I'd watch just about anything he was in, but Luther without Alice is only great Luther, not awesome Luther.

    I can't find it anywhere. It isn't slated to release for another month still, so if someone has it early I don't know how. EDIT: Oh, duh. "An advance copy was provided by the publisher for review." at the bottom of the review you linked. So it could be out there, but only if one of those...

    I have no idea what servers are available, but hopefully the ones that could run FTB wouldn't be too outrageously priced. Sucks that yet another update to vanilla is coming, it could be months before FTB hits 1.7. Might be worth it to use 1.5.2 for a few months then, everyone would be burnt...

    I would be happy to rent a server for that purpose, once FTB Unleashed updates to 1.6.2 or whatever number they release next. My requirements would be: 1) McFly has to say it is ok. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, I wouldn't feel right just barging in without his blessing. 2)...
