    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.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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...

    Man of Steel

    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...

    Jesus Tittyfucking Christ. Is it really that much harder for you to use a capital letter and a single period once in awhile? You did it once there, so I know you can do it! Mission accomplished, my jimmies are rustled.

    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...

    Castle

    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...

    Ah shit, yeah you're right, totally didn't see that. I may have to look into something slightly different then, as I'd prefer to make use of what I already have. I love that form factor though. Problem is there are a million different sites and recommendations, and not a single one is...

    Running to lunch soon so I'll have to look at it more in depth later, but this looks absolutely perfect for me. I have a spare 64GB SSD already, and I actually bought Windows 8 when it was cheap just to buy it in case I needed it for something like this, haven't upgraded my Windows 7 PC yet...

    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...

    Cool, I'll check that out. After being spoiled with a blutooth remote I'm going to at least search around for one, but a cursory search didn't leave me feeling very inspired. I'll worry about that when I decide if I'm going HTPC or not. I was looking at that since I have no need for storage on...

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm still not sure what my best solution is, but at least I've got some ideas now. I've actually got a spare 64GB SSD drive and a NAS, so I might price out an HTPC just to see what I could get away with. As far as the Harmony, I have an older one that I don't...

    Big bump for this, but I figured I'd share in case anyone else finds this information useful. My boxee has been acting up a little lately, nothing big but to the point where I figured I might jump the gun and buy a replacement anyway because I cut the cable cord a year ago and I wouldn't have...

    Unless you know someone, the only way is if they are still giving some away in places like the What.CD power users forum. I'm listed as having invites, but only "Master" level can actually use them, and it says they have unlimited invites. I'm an "Extreme User" level, and to get to Master I'd...

    I enjoyed the books, was a little let down by the movie, but I will continue to watch them. Jennifer Lawrence is hot, no doubt, but not on my "give my left nut" list. In before a hundred more people that clearly don't like these movies repeat that they are a ripoff of Battle Royale. We get...

    Critically acclaimed shows of the last 20 years that you haven't watched

    Not sure where you've tried, but you have to remember that it is not in widescreen at all, which limits your options. I'm pretty sure I got mine from BTN. Watched the first season so far and quality was excellent once I got used to the fact that it was going to have black bars on the side the...

    Haha, that last Mindfuck actually cracked me up when I finally saw it. One of my favorite books as a kid, was reminded of it today when a coworker said his step-daughter claims she's now a vampire, but still a vegetarian too (she's 10 so she's only moderately fucked up yet).

    Yeah, that's what I took from it. I could have linked the Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe scene where he is nothing but an adamantium skeleton, but I'm not sure that really counts as canon at all since Deadpool manages to kill beings like Galactus with the Puppetmaster's puppets and Hulk...

    Well, to be fair I can't find the scene I was thinking of, where I'm almost certain he was virtually disintegrated (and I could be misremembering), but how about ground zero of a nuclear bomb? No adamantium to hold him together either. (From Logan #2, 2008)
