    Streaming video from PC to TV

    You might be right about the paid account, and I seem to remember reading something about that now that you say it. I think eventually you won't need the paid account, but since it is in beta testing right now it would make sense that you need it now. If you need any tips on...

    Eating fish contaminated by Fukushima is probably ok

    You know, these are exactly the things my CTNJ (Conspiracy Theory Nutjob) coworkers talk about. Unfortunately, they are also my friends, although that's obviously becoming strained. It is one thing to read/argue these things on the internet, but it is actually very disheartening and...

    Streaming video from PC to TV

    Didn't check the boards at all today so I'll try to catch up a little. First, the restriction on 1080p via wifi isn't hard and fast, but some of you are talking about something completely different. Streaming 1080p from Netflix, for example, is not the same thing as streaming a 1080p bluray...

    Streaming video from PC to TV

    Sure, glad to help. Someone else might chime in with something I've forgotten or not aware of though. If you're looking to keep it cheap though, I'm pretty sure that's the best solution. If you need any help setting up PLEX, just ask. I'd be happy to help, and I know a lot of people here...

    Streaming video from PC to TV

    There are multiple solutions (Roku, Boxee, etc.) but Chromecast and PLEX would do it the cheapest. Wireless you're pretty much limited to 720p no matter what solution you use, so Chromecast/PLEX is probably your cheapest and easiest choice, with the added bonus that you can keep the files in...

    American Hustle

    Pretty much this. Some of the acting was clearly top tier, particularly Bale. His transformations for roles is just phenomenal. If he wasn't in this movie, it would have been downright unwatchable I think. And I know I'll get a lot of flack for this (too bad no more negs!), but I'm not a...

    Lost Girl

    We all agree that Lauren's character is the worst, but all the chicks that watch the show love her. Do yourself a favor and don't ever, ever google "Doccubus." Trust me. It's worse than Twilight shit. I think the bi/lesbian thing is the only reason she's still around, because all those...

    Eating fish contaminated by Fukushima is probably ok

    Holy fuck, I literally got sent this linkhttp://nsnbc.me/2013/12/30/tepco-qui...3-melting-now/by the resident conspiracy theorists here at work almost exactly an hour before he posted this. Aside from all the "might be" rife in this article, with my limited response time I tried to point out...

    Yeah, PTP is not the best place to get your feet wet as far as movie trackers. Unless you have a seedbox you're going to have a hard time, and even then you need to pay attention to what you grab. I make it a point to only get things like first day releases of screeners, bluray rips, etc. to...

    Screeners

    I don't disagree with some of your (Column) statements in this thread, but you're obviously fairly critical of movies (Rush, for example), so I'm wondering if you could give us a few examples of movies that you feel are top quality, or fun, or just worth a watch. I'm not asking to be a dick...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I'm with Grimmlokk once again. It isn't just the boobs, it is the whole physique that is wrong. She's too old now, but I always thought Wonder Woman should have a look similar to Krista Allen's. She's been in a ton of stuff, but most of you would probably remember her from this scene in...

    RUSH - Ron Howard's 1970s F1 Movie

    I saw the previews for this when it was in theaters, and thought I had absolutely no desire to see it. Well, after watching it, i can say just how terribly wrong that opinion was. This was a fantastic movie, and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch it, regardless of how you...

    Lost Girl

    Not too many shows on right now, but just thought I'd mention that this starts up on Syfy soon if you haven't been pirating the Canadian releases. As mentioned above, the first episode is all Kenzi and all awesome. It is amusing to me that they clearly spent the first several episodes of this...

    The Hobbit

    I enjoyed it well enough, but if I'm going to nitpick (and I am), things like the dwarves being mostly buffoons the entire time really didn't sit well with me at all (same with the first one). Not to mention, you either have these good looking "human" looking dwarves who are the important ones...

    I don't remember giving you time off to blog! *whipcrack* Get back to work! Seriously though, really looking forward to anything you write. I almost feel like I have the chance to be a "Richard Raley hipster" where I can say, years from now, that I was in on the ground floor.

    They must have decreased it to 10 at some point that I'm not aware of, because I believe it is physically impossible for me to have 42000 bonus points at 1 pt an hour. You are correct though, it is definitely 10 right now, but they must have lowered it fairly recently.

    Technically speaking, only getting to 1:1 will avoid it. But if you just seed to 50 bonus points and zap it (follow their instructions, people seem to have problems but I never have), it is gone just the same. I do it all the time, so don't worry too much about H&Rs as long as you have bonus...

    Easiest way to not worry about ISP notices and such is to get yourself a VPN. I use PrivateInternetAccess for something like $40 a year, and they don't keep any records of what your traffic consists of, so even if someone tried to nail you by getting a court order, there is nothing for them to...

    Too many games?

    I've got much the same problem as the rest of you, extended to books and movies as well. I would need to literally be stranded on a deserted island with nothing but a working computer, my steam account, my Kindle, and a home theater system, for the rest of my life, to even stand a chance of...

    Starship Troopers (reboot)

    Starship Troopers was the first science fiction book I ever read, and while it was enough to get me hooked on the genre, the movie really is far, far more entertaining. A true adaptation of the book would be fairly bleak and depressing. Now, if they did it right and "Platooned" it so to speak...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Samuel L. Jackson is also a whore (no offense, Sam) and quite literally wants to appear in as many things as he possibly can, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were his own idea in the first place.

    Suggestions for a new author / series of books for me to read?

    Because it was like 1980 and I was 11? Skipping the fact that it is likely there wasn't even a VHS version of that movie available then, it isn't like today where I could have just searched Netflix for it and watched it on my own TV without anyone knowing.

    Suggestions for a new author / series of books for me to read?

    Gah, Pearl S. Buck and The Good Earth brings up such memories. I had almost forgotten about it. I was a very good student throughout almost all of my educational career, and I always loved to read, but I literally could not get myself to finish that book during junior high, and had to have a...

    Transcendence

    Pretty much this. Substantially less interested after that trailer, and even more so after seeing it is Depp. At least he's not a bumbling drunk in this one, so I would have been ok with him most likely, but it looks dumb as fuck to boot.

    Donating Plasma

    I don't know anything about donating plasma, but back in high school and college when I used to donate blood they always said it would be tested for STDs and drugs and the like. Do they not do the same with plasma? I can't imagine they would keep paying drug-addled homeless people repeatedly...

    No, seriously! Did you watch this season of The Ultimate Fighter?

    Almost Human

    Someone mentioned they fucked with the order of the first six episodes, so I think you're actually right that it is a much earlier episode than how they aired it. This is one of my favorite new shows of the season, which sucks because I'm going to be super disappointed when it is cancelled.
