    Minecraft

    I purposely left out any mention of the Technic/Tekkit pack because of all the drama you guys have already mentioned, and because it is similar to announcing which political party you support; everyone will immediately take sides. Furthermore, from my use of the Technic launcher, it was nowhere...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    While that is a likely answer, I believe it is one of those microphones for setting up your surround sound.

    Minecraft

    Yeah, that's basically what it is, an awesome launcher that manages all of your mods in one place, and automatically updates any that are part of the official pack (you'd still have to update ones you manually add). It started as an actual challenge map, Feed The Beast, wherein they had a...

    iPhone4S without iTunes

    CopyTrans Manager (the only free part of CopyTrans Suite) is what you are looking for. That's what I used to get MediaMonkey to work with a newer iPod Touch which is not supported anymore by MM. What you want to do is download the manager and start to install it. It is going to say that you...

    Minecraft

    Sorry to hear that. Sounds like exactly what happened to me several servers ago. Either the same people are being douchebags over and over, or there is just a never-ending flow of them. That's pretty much the reason I don't play multiplayer anymore. Sure no one will ever see what I do unless...

    The Ultimate Fighter

    I watch as well, but don't follow the MMA thread because I'm nowhere into the specifics of MMA like that thread tends to be. The main thing the show does for me is help solidify my opinion of various fighters once I see them as coaches. That's why I'm particularly interested in this season...

    Minecraft

    Yeah, barrels are awesome. I've seen massive sorting systems just like you described. I really like FTB, and the launcher makes things so simple once you get it set up. Currently I've added Optifine and the Soartex Fanver 64x texture pack, but everything else is handled by the pack (using...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Ok, I read that, but it still doesn't fully make sense to me. And I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, I genuinely have never understood how this made any sense. If I have this straight, essentially someone somewhere decided that there were going to be a certain number of bitcoins in the...

    The Superpower Thread

    Ok, you got me there, but I was talking about a suite of powers like "Superman's powers" where you get invulnerability, flight, super-speed, heat-vision, super-breath, etc. which are all pretty much unrelated. But I guess you could argue Molecule Man is similar, so I'll just say I would take...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I suppose I could do some research and find out, but this just doesn't make much sense to me. Doesn't there have to be someone paying standard currency for all these "number crunches"? I mean, I thought the theory was that they were using excess computing power to solve various problems that...

    The Superpower Thread

    If the Molecule Man can, then I can. I'm assuming that it comes with that ability built in, just like all the other powers that depend upon other things to actually work. That's why I said his power specifically, not "the power over molecules," because he's already exhibited most of what I...

    The Superpower Thread

    If I had to pick a specific power and not a suite of powers (like, being Superman), I'd probably go for Molecule Man's powers. In theory I'd be able to do all manner of things like flying, invisibility, super strength, invulnerability, shape-shifting, intangibility, immortality, even mind...

    January Book of the Month: Old Man's War by John Scalzi

    I liked it well enough, particularly since it didn't beat us over the head with descriptions of people, places, and things. I tend to get discouraged by lengthy descriptions of every tapestry on every wall, so a book that just gives you the basics and lets you form your own mental images of the...

    Lost Girl

    One more bump, and if no one cares I'll leave it alone until a finale or something extra special happens. Just watched the third episode (will air for most of you next week) and thought it was a decent "silly" episode. I laughed quite a bit at certain scenes, in particular the Duran Duran...

    Fringe

    1) "No disassemble!" 2) God damn the Observers have some shitty security. 3) Time travel pretty much ruins every show it is used in. I was pretty underwhelmed too. The next-to-last scene was a surprise to no one I'm sure. The final one was a bit more cryptic and I'm not sure...

    The Horror Movie Thread

    That's the kind of stuff that I prefer too, although inevitably there is a sound effect to help you jump even more. I don't get "scared" very often by movies, but Exorcist 3 had one moment that really got me. Sure it was sort of weird with Patrick Ewing in heaven and shit, but this fucking...

    While it is entirely possible that both of those sites have been re-started and revitalized without me knowing, at one point they both shut down. The spiritual successor is the one I listed, webop.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    For various reasons was motivated to call today and see if she was around. Surprisingly she was (seems she was only in that office for two hours today), and even more surprisingly she said yes to coffee. Things are looking up! I think I like you, sir. Let's be friends!

    Not being an electrician I can't say for certain, but it seems doubtful that a switcher would cause that kind of problem, but you never know. I suppose if the HDMI types (1.2, 1.3, etc.) are different it could have caused problems, but from my understanding it will just limit things like...

    Where I work, there are only two females, only one of which I'd ever even think of sexually harassing, but since I know way too much about her that's not on the table either. WTB a job where sexual harassment is an option

    Flu Outbreak

    Maybe it is just the places I've worked (construction industry, so maybe the "real man" syndrome is a factor), but whenever someone takes a couple of sick days they are typically looked down upon. Personally I like to be home when I'm sick so I can sleep whenever I want, and don't really give a...

    Favorite Video Game Streamers

    Depends on the game and the person though, I'd say. Yogscast is pretty damn hilarious at times, but clearly scripted at points, and Direwolf20 is an awesome Minecraft person to watch, and his are better because he edits out most of the boring shit. He still shows crap like when he falls in...

    Funny that you ask this, as during the 49er game this weekend my TV popped up with a "3D signal detected" message so I said why not? Wasn't sure my glasses would be charged up, but apparently they hold a charge for months if you don't use them. I watched the game in 3D for about 5 minutes...

    I enjoyed Season 1 a lot more than I thought I would, and am looking forward to Season 2. Main actress is a little wooden at times, but the super hotness gets you past those moments.

    What makes you think you'd get anywhere near the "science" and materials they've gathered in Westeros either? Honestly I think your chances of being slaughtered out of hand for no reason whatsoever are about the highest of all the worlds there, but even if you did find some maester that was...

    Hmm, briefly looked over their webpage because while I love the Boxee, if it ever breaks I'm not opposed to buying up. Please tell me a little more about this. I might find some of the answers by digging deeper but I'm not seeing them right off. Found a comparison sheet between models but...

    Boil the Frog

    Did a lot of random tests and it seems they don't use a few that should be pretty obvious, but maybe I just don't know wtf it thinks is close to another song. For example, pretty much any metal/hard rock to rap jump could probably save time by going through Body Count (Ice-T's "metal" band) but...

    No, I realize that it typically isn't the drive, but since we have myself and others saying that the Synology and the QNAP will stream it just fine with whatever gigabit ports they have, I thought I'd mention that you CAN buy some shitty 5400 rpm drives with low transfer rates and possibly shoot...

    Daniel Day Lewis Leonardo DiCaprio Joseph Gordon-Levitt Gary Oldman Order sort of varies depending upon my mood though. As far as Oscar shit, it sort of annoys me that Waltz is only considered a supporting actor in this. I understand that Foxx is technically the main role/actor, but...

    Arrow

    And you really should watch at least up to the Huntress episodes because if you thought the other chicks on the show were hot, she's crazy hot. Well, if you are into chicks, you could be one yourself, or gay, or transgender, or even a furry given this board's history I suppose. In that case...

    If you got that far and didn't finish (if I'm correct in assuming you meant the final book), you should have. I'm not going to say you'll be blown away or anything, but the ending isn't bad compared to a lot of other series, and you were THIS close! The books did lose a lot of their luster...

    The Random Thought Thread

    Newsgroups, IPTorrents, and Webop.me provide me with far too much downloaded porn to actually be subject to the whims of site dry spells. That being said, new porn is always the best porn no matter how much you have, so my main problem is saving too much and running out of space for more...

    Just to update, the receptionist I talked about earlier wasn't even there today as she got promoted and is traveling to other sites to help them upgrade the way they do their record keeping, and might be relocated to their main office in town since she'll be in charge of that system. So I might...

    Most network storage devices (Synology for sure, pretty sure QNAP too) already have that capability, they just don't have it in the actual name of the productThat being said, I'm too lazy and have never tried setting it up, and since my computer is always on and I have auto-downloads configured...

    The Synology works just fine too, just to add some anecdotal evidence. As a side note, I would think that it is theoretically possible to buy crappy enough hard drives that can't transfer data fast enough, but I honestly don't know what the minimum bitrate would have to be or if such hard...
