    That sucks, hope it started working for you again once it cooled off. Not sure what is up with the BIOS but there is obviously a problem with some of them being set way too hot. Doesn't sound like everyone gets it, but no idea why some would be set differently. Never checked out Filebot...

    I'll check it out since it has been mentioned a couple of times now, but I'm pretty much just whining about the initial setup. Once I get everything going it won't be much effort at all to keep things straightened out. If I download 5 (non-porn) movies in a week that's a lot, and TV shows work...

    Windows 8 validation worked perfectly, so that's all squared away. Only thing I wish they had (and they might, so tell me if there is) is a scraper that prompts you for each file in your library. I'd rather it ask me all of them at once then have to browse through them one by one and check...

    I'm at work so can't try that yet, but if it does, I could kiss you! But only if you're female, or at least a passable tranny to where I could get offended and say I was tricked. I had googled a little bit (not much) and hadn't had much luck, so assuming this works, thanks a ton for posting...

    Oh I'm good for that, that isn't a problem. I meant, after it scraped all of my files, the Boxee would admit that it didn't know wtf to do with certain files, so it would lump them all into a category you could access and manually update each one. It didn't move them or anything, it just sort...

    I can do it tonight or tomorrow if necessary. Aogo and Amygdala need to make themselves available however.

    Pfft, I don't need some piddly capacity seedbox! I get enough upload just leaving my computer on 24/7 without really trying. I get your point though, but other than a movie being under the folder "Debbie Does Dallas" it might be under "Debbie.Does.Dallas.1978(?).720p-SceneGroup" instead. I...

    I torrent the vast majority of my content so unless I re-point every torrent that wouldn't work very well for seeding. And it is only really a concern for movies, my shows I actually do point to a specific folder for each series so once it realizes what that folder is for (like Castle), it...

    Finally got my hard drive in yesterday and set it up last night. Couple of stumbling blocks, one of which is that it wouldn't see my NAS on the network. Turning everything off and then back on fixed that at least, but pretty annoying to bang my head against the wall for awhile trying other...

    Someone from my group will have to buy some hero days and drag us into a town then, or you'll need to redo my group. Wednesday is the last day I can do it for a week.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Then why did you even post your personal experience if you realized it probably had no basis in reality? Your post was the equivalent of one that started with, "No offense but..." and then proceeded to offend someone. I guess I should have just posted "I love my Panasonic" and left it at that?

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Going to have to defend Sean here. If you go strictly by ratings and reviews the Panasonic plasmas are some of the best TVs you can buy for the money. Sucks that you had bad experiences, but that's definitely the exception and not the rule. To be honest, 3 bad in 4 years is almost lottery...

    Just a heads up, I can only join a town as the hero to bring people in until Wednesday. After that I will be on vacation for a week. I can still log in and spend my points and such, but I can't be in IRC and actually pull a group after Wednesday. And each of those days will have to be 3 hours...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    At first I was going to say that being the only black guy, and a potentially chubby one at that, didn't bode well for him at all. But then I saw the one at the very back, and possibly another hidden behind the first black guy. So his chances of living are a lot better now. I'd hate to be...

    Well, if you get an IR USB dongle like that flirc or the one BrutulTM linked, you could probably program any universal remote to control your TV as well as the HTPC. I mean, it's the same thing as the Harmony in use, just a boatload cheaper. That RCA remote I bought for under $9 is fucking...

    Hah, this isn't even my question, but I feel the need to clarify since no one is answering it the way he means it. Let me see if I can explain it better. My apologies if it sounds like I'm being overly simplistic, but it is obvious no one else caught what he wants. He is going to use the...

    He's asking if he can somehow make his bluetooth keyboard, which he's going to control the HTPC with, also somehow trigger an IR signal to his TV. No bluetooth remote sends IR as well, that I'm aware of, so that's where his dilemma lies. Can the HTPC be connected to an IR blaster somehow to...

    Short answer is, not really. Even my Boxee Box at around $170 does pretty much everything I needed it to. Honestly I probably won't get full value out of the HTPC myself and could have made do with yet another Boxee if this one fully died. The main advantages I would see over a pre-built...

    That's exactly my situation (think you quoted Intrinsic when you meant to quote mine?). It says not shipped yet, from onsale. I'll just hope they did the same thing with mine as they did with yours and it shows up tomorrow. If I get the drive tomorrow I'll be doing setup too, so I'll post...

    I just got everything but the mSATA delivered to me at work today. Which sucks, because I paid for 2 day shipping on the drive and it still hasn't shipped yet according to tracking. I specifically wanted it before the weekend. It *might* show up tomorrow, but they'd have to overnight it...

    Man of Steel

    If you haven't, you guys should read Invincible. Much of the story revolves around a "super-race" almost exactly like super-powered (everywhere) Kryptonians.

    Man of Steel

    Ok, you got me, before the 1950s or so they were super-poweredBut every story since then (not counting post-Crisis because I have no idea what the Kryptonian history there is) has made them fairly normal in regard to powers when on their home planet. That's also the basis for the stupid...

    Man of Steel

    Kryptonians are "normal" on Krypton (like humans are on Earth) due to the red sun. It is only the yellow sun that makes them godly.

    Nah I have never put anyone on ignore and that wouldn't be enough anyway. At least you are being good-natured about my complaints. It just makes me read your posts in the voice of a (really tall) 14 year old girl is all While I'm busting your balls, it is spelled aisle!

    Cats

    Nah, he's just a big cat to start with, and is now fat as fuck. He's 11-years old so there isn't a lot that I haven't tried besides starving him, he's just a fatass. He honestly doesn't even eat that much more than a normal cat would. The vet is always amazed of course, and yells at me, but...

    Remote control differences aside, as I sit here bored at work reading shit, did you just use the stock XBMC install, or did you use any custom stuff? I've never touched XBMC itself (I realize Boxee was built on it, but I didn't have to install it) and really have no clue what it is going to be...

    I'll check ebay, thanks. I hate not having a physical button to push on a remote though, and I don't really see the point to keeping my phone on just to fast-forward through shit. Yeah it is fine to just browse and select something to play, which is what I'll do most of the time, but...

    Guh! I cannot fucking wait for this movie. To slightly nitpick, Amy Adams doesn't really shout Lois Lane to me. However, I'm open to her being just fine in the role. I just never would have imagined her in a million years. Also super glad they got rid of the multiple sonic booms...

    I also went ahead and got the NUC, msata, and 8GB ram. That flirc dongle is out of stock for at least 6 weeks, so I'm not sure what I am going to do for a remote. I might buy that centrino card bho listed and re-use my PS3 remote...but I do have a bunch of random IR remotes sitting around...

    Moonshine the gorilla making the throat-cutting motion while looking at Castle was awesome. Someone needs to animated GIF that to look like The Undertaker. The Alexis side story was pretty lame I felt, and could have been entirely cut from the episode without any issues except that then they...

    I'm not your typical "cut the cord" guy because I don't worry about a lot of the streaming and live sports, I mainly worry about torrented stuff. I'd say the number one thing that has eased my transition is a dedicated TV tracker with an RSS feed so that I just select the shows I want to...
