    What is your opinion on GMO plants and products?

    The point is that Monsanto is evil because it knows what it's doing is ethically wrong, who cares if the government lets them? And then they further reinforce that decision by using their lobbying power to block government regulation of their fucked up actions. Lions just gonna lion.

    I understand the parent's good intentions with this, but I can't help but feeling they're going to wind up with the kids that are just a bit too old to still genuinely believe in Santa Claus. Or it will totally backfire and make them believe in Creationism. My wife and I are still debating...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Lots of new characters every book, characters coming back that haven't been around for 3+ books, character showing up with little to no backstory. That's Erikson's writing style. I wouldn't say they are one-off books. Every book is related to the overall plot of the Crippled God, it's just...

    2 WPM at 8 hours a week is still ~100k words after 2 years...so scale it down a bit there. I do agree that Stannis and Tywin are better characters in the show. Stannis is more...relatable? Tywin is still a douchebag, just a better douchebag. I still don't see how GRRM is going to finish...

    It wasn't meant as an insult towards your intent, I was genuinely interested if anyone has broken down proceeds from sales and rentals. The pessimist in me says that very little goes to the people that actually deserve it. As for your thought that paying anything is better than torrenting...

    Just in case you didn't know, the Malazan Book of The Fallen may be done, but Erikson isn't done writing in that universe. He's contracted for another 5 books. I was kinda disappointed by Forge of Darkness though. Hoping it will pick up a bit. And the Karsa trilogy is almost guaranteed to be...

    Looks like someone's eating a lot of eggs or crustaceans. Remember, if you set your goal as weight loss in that app, you're supposed to eat the suggested target, not further under eat it.

    Links to those statements? I thought that was all just internet speculation at this point. I'd be very surprised if they can do VOIP over 3G. I've attempted that using a special codec(iLBC) and the quality was choppy at best.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I believe Titan_atlas had that small Ron Jeremy avatar back on the old boards. And he was the DK that became a running gag for a little while after he stopped showing up abruptly. He got in with that James' LETS INVITE EVERYONE fiasco and stuck around for a bit of cataclysm.

    Yes, it's your wireless most likely. I moved back in May. At my old place, it was a wired connection from my computer to the router, wireless to the Boxee. Now it's wireless both ways and buffering issues have been cropping up. Audio stream content might be a factor too.

    If Google can integrate gvoice in a smart fashion with Hangouts, that will be pretty cool. I'm worried about a couple things: -Hangouts only seems to let you (video)call people on your G+ contact list. One would assume that integrating gvoice with Hangouts would mean opening up the contact...

    Depends on how old your TV is, technically. But since I doubt you have a TV with only USB 1.1 ports, you SHOULDN'T have a problem buying a N adapter. Of course, googling your TV's model and 'wireless adapter' will probably yield better results.

    It's a machined aluminum unibody! That they managed that without fucking up the antennae gives me an engineering boner. If they were selling the HTC One unlocked at the same price(or nearly) as the Nexus 5, I'd buy the One instead.

    Quick, name me something that weighs 40 lbs. That is not a weight people deal with commonly, so they can't just look at you, after you've changed already, and accurately eyeball how much more you should lose. They just think "40 is a lot!". I still get shit from my family about being too...

    Eh, I guess I'll revisit Plex when I have multiple TVs, whenever that is. Still dubious. You go through the trouble of sanitizing filenames you just downloaded? I don't think you can do that while the torrent is still being shared.

    The setup involved with my Boxee Box was to find my shared folder on my computer and add it to the "My Sources". And it cost $180. Seems pretty easy and cheap to me. BTW, Plex's scraper got some of my shows wrong. It translated some of the American Pie movies into "American Heritage...

    I am a little confused about what plex offers. If your device is powerful enough to stream and decode the file directly from the source, and almost all phones/tablets/set top boxes are these days, what do I get from plex?
