    Supreme Court says you own your devices

    Also super obvious that you own a thing that you purchased. But yes, it should make jailbreaking just about any physical thing legal.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Interesting situation at work. When our 1000-person company, based in Rhode Island bought out another 300-person company in Rhode Island, in the resulting shuffle, the smaller company's head of HR got positioned higher than our head of HR, and started looking through all of our pay practices...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I made my base salary for the year before the end of May. The next 7 months are the bonus round.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I have to account for every 15 minutes of my time all day every day, and fill out two completely separate sets of time sheets, one for billing and metrics, and one for actually getting paid.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    One of my former night-shift coworkers is now living in the woods somewhere in Virginia, high on acid (actually he already ran out) trying to build a 'wizard tower' out of mud bricks. He knows nothing about wilderness survival and only brought prop weapons with him.

    My house is exceptionally, near neurotically clean. My cubefarmdungeon, however... is not.

    Is there a target date for this? I never even got the first expac, but I do like the idea of swording things.

    You liked The Division? Really? You hate everything, and that game was dubious at best. Anyway, this looks pretty good.

    Coming from a 750 even a 1060 would blow you the fuck away, not sure you need to spend the money for a 1070. A 1060 will do 1080p pegged at 60hz in almost every game.

    Erlich adds the most comedy and the least plot to every episode, so that's a mixed bag.

    This is me so far this league (my first league.) So far, I think I'm doing pretty good. Having trouble getting to Shaper but I think that's mostly because I suck, not because of my character. Any tips are welcome. (I also think my jewelry is pretty fucking nuts.) I probably need to start...

    I think it's supposed to have new information. I also think Richard is supposed to be more and more of an unlikable douche. In the end, he'll probably end up as only a slightly-less-awful version of Gavin.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Using 2 prepaid SIMs for cellphones, one for me, one for my mom. Costs less than 100 dollars a year each for all the talk and text we ever use. No data when away from wifi but I never use that anyway. Hard to beat that on price. I figure I could add simultaneous ring to the Google Voice...

    I feel like episodes are just too short to have jokes, plot development, and character development, so you never know what of those you're going to get.

    Thread request: High IQ Politics

    I got a 1390 on my SAT and felt stupid because 7 people in my class of ~250 did better than me, which for a public school was pretty unreal. Someone even got a 1600. Everyone that got an 800 on one of the two tests or got a combined score of 1400 or more got on a plaque at the front of the...

    Think about it. Destiny on PS4 and Xbox use PSN and Live respectively for friends-list and other party stuff, right? If they use battle.net that stops them from having to make a standalone party/friends interface just for PC.
