    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...

    Continuum

    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...

    Django Unchained

    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...

    The Black Company

    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...

    I have never used PLEX, but I believe it is the interface where it shows cover art, descriptions, etc. right? I don't know how fast it is with a PC, and the Boxee certainly isn't fast in that regard, but if I've just downloaded something and want to watch it right now, I never wait for a scan...

    Along those same lines, Synology 5- or 8-bay home server + Boxee = amazing as well. I've never had to set up PLEX anything. Also seconding the fact that the Boxee remote is super easy to use. It works from anywhere in the room, even if the Boxee is behind the TV.

    You guys are right, of course, but just to clarify, tomorrow is my last session. So if I don't show up to a future roller derby event she can't call me out on it unless she goes into my file and gets my phone number, which isn't going to happen. Also, in casual chatting about it, I know that...

    If I had the money I might be doing something similar, because women anywhere near my age either already have several kids of their own and I will always be second place (and they typically make this abundantly clear within the first 7 minutes), or their biological clock is ticking and they want...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    Well, that brings up some questions then. Are you planning on having the same drives in it for long enough to worry about bit rot (honestly I'd never even heard of that until you brought it up)? And is the data that important that you absolutely can't lose a single bit of it? Or is it for...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    You're a doctor and should be rolling in money, so I'd just suggest this:http://www.amazon.com/Synology-Perfo...d_sim_sbs_pc_2 or the 8-bay model for $200 more (that's the one I have, was on sale for under $1k at one point so look around). Yeah you can definitely do it for less yourself, but...

    Castle

    Not that they are allowing invites which would help in this situation, but BTN constantly has the 720p version of Castle up around 5:15pm pacific time every new episode. And it doesn't even air here until 10pm! I was done watching by 6pm last night. So if you're having issues getting...

    My answer would be Boxee. I use it all day long for exactly what you are asking for (well, mainly 720p because I can't see a difference, but if it is freeleech I get 1080p all the time too), and it works perfectly. I use wired though, and people say wireless can't keep up with 1080p, so that...

    LOTTERY WINNER...what if ?

    I've seen myself in the mirror, so I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to watch an entire video of me grunting away over some college girl. I'd prefer to look better and have a huge cock, I admit it. If you interpreted that to mean that I want to fuck dudes, that's on you.

    Django Unchained

    Watched it this weekend and really enjoyed it. I'm gay for Leo though, so that helped. Really liked almost everything about it. I had no idea the German character even existed from the limited previews I allowed myself to watch, so it was nice to have pretty much the entire movie be a new...

    LOTTERY WINNER...what if ?

    Assuming a big enough win, I'd pay off the current homes and vehicles of a couple of good friends, my sister and her husband, and my parents. From that point, if they wanted to sell and move to something else that's up to them, but at least they could live rent free if they wanted to. Then I...

    I almost built myself an HTPC a couple of years ago, but decided to try the Boxee instead. At this point I don't think I'd ever look back, as the Boxee cost less than a pc would have been and it does everything that I could want it to do. I'm sure some day there will be a bigger and better...

    I'm so gay for this show. I even watched the 1-hour "Confaedential" special before the premiere. Nothing really too exciting there if you aren't a Twilight-level fan like me though. First episode thoughts, not much in the way of actual spoilers but still hiding it because it talks about the...

    That's probably the first time I've ever been right about anything then, so I'll make sure to celebrate! Like I said, I enjoy every sentence that he writes, and while I'm reading it I don't specifically think "Jesus this is taking forever," but when I look back on what I just read after a...
