    Motorcycle Thread

    I did the math on a motorcycle forum and you're not really "saving" anything since the cost is still so high. They are starting to get a lot better but I'm staying away for at least another 10 years until we figure out true battery life and better power ratios.

    Motorcycle Thread

    Yes and no. You can't see the damage that you may have caused to the inside of the helmet and have no way of knowing if it is up to par in doing its job. Certain helmet makers like Shoei will allow you to send the helmet in to have it checked and they can then determine if you need to replace it...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    It's a little cleaner but it's the same block style graphics from the PS1. Updated a few things to correct them from previous versions but all in all not a big enough draw. I picked it up because I can play it on the go with my laptop and it was only $6...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Bought the re-release of FF7 on PC for $6. Also picked up a bunch of games for DS and 3DS on Square's half off sale. I'll have enough RPG time to tide me over till next Christmas now.

    The Netflix Thread

    Try out Headhunters. It's got Jamie from Game of Thrones in it and is quite good. It's foreign so be prepared for subtitles. You can also try out Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Has the Fat guy from a good old fashioned orgy in it.

    Difficult programming question

    C/C++/C# generally with more on the C++ end but it depends on what you are programming for and what technologies you want to use. You'll probably also add in some scripting like Lua and Python. There are a ton of books devoted to the subject so I'd recommend looking on B&N or Safari online...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Thanks for the breakdown. I'm partial to FF4 since I got it day one on SNES. I've owned them all but most after FF7 have put me at odds with the franchise. I think they've really gotten away from what made the series to begin with. The more "realistic" the FF game the more I shy away from it...

    Islands (Philippines, Guam, etc)

    Been to the Philippines, can comfirm what aarkh said. In some places if you are a single, good looking white male you will be hailed as a king by the women, not just the bar girls. They want a ride back to the US if you will let them. I recommend getting out of the cities. Maybe spend a day...

    Plinkett, Half in The Bag and other web movie reviews

    Always a good review. I think the "hooker" in the basement plot is played out now though.

    1099 vs W2

    1. You can deduct related expenses such as gas, relevant books, a computer for the job, etc. Keep receipts for everything. 2. You are your own employer and required to pay the "employer's" share of FICA and Medicare which essentially doubles the tax. 3. Ask your Gov't and the IRS on that one...

    I'd check it out. It was quite enjoyable but was not what I was expecting. Also, the first scene is nice.

    1099 vs W2

    That would be the contractor's issue, yes. It sounds like they are basically saying, "Hey, we'll make you an employee but pay you less and give you benefits or we'll make you a contractor and pay you $10K more" all for doing the same job in either roll you choose. It's not supposed to really...

    1099 vs W2

    First off, you can't just be a 1099 or W2. 1099 is for contracted work only and you cannot perform "employee" duties. If you are truly 1099, which I doubt you would be from the sound of it, then you will pay more in taxes because you are self-employed, so you must pay the employer's share of...

    Ant pro's?

    I use a combination of Lua and Ant to do my scripting within eclipse. I have Lua do all the heavy lifting. I can take a look at it and see what's going on sometime this weekend. Can you post a screen shot and your Ant settings or PM with the some further preference and setup details?
