I bought a Seagate 1TB drive 6 months ago and it died on me last week. I generally stick with WD but the Seagate was on special. Oh well, nothing significant lost but still annoying. I have an old WD 250GB 7200RPM drive I bought back in 2007. Thing still hums right along.

How the fuck is a brick and mortar store FAR less than NewEgg? Zero sense.

Eh, nearest Microcenter is 75 miles away and in-store only. Even still, that's a good $40-50 savings.

Has anyone noticed about how often the i7-4790K go on sale? I've been watching NewEgg and Amazon for quite some time now and have yet to see them with a discount.

I've suspected memory, but I've swapped it out with another pair of sticks and same issue. It's still possible the motherboard isn't properly detecting the timings of the RAM. What's odd is that the freezing only occurs during high bandwidthinternetactivity. For example, I can stream video...

Yes she should have immediately known this. Unless, I suppose, her knowledge is more about engineering than stellar dynamics. But I knew it and I'm just an armchair astronomer. This may have been my favorite season. I really enjoyed most of the challenges.

Weird problem: A a few weeks back I bought a replacement motherboard to use with my old AMD Phenom II 965 chip. The board is the ASUS M5A97 LE 2.0. The thing seemingly froze up randomly. I sent it back, got a replacement and this one is doing the exact same fucking thing. Previously I...

12 Monkeys.

oops. wrong thread.

That's crazy!

I watch Empire and it's really only for Taraji Henson since I liked her on Person of Interest. No fucking clue why the ratings are so huge. I guess it's the hip-hop shit? It's FOX's equivalent of ABC's Nashville. Hopefully CW will marathon The 100 over summer. Maybe pick up more viewers...

I do know you're not supposed to use exceptions to determine program flow. I don't see any of that, but I have witnessed huge swaths of code wrapped in try/catches. That annoys me. The problem with several of my team's engineers is that they will mindlessly hammer out dozens (literally!) of...

What's "bad programming"? I don't consider myself a mastermind or anything, but the people around me who (apparently) have way more experience are HORRIBLE coders in my opinion. And that's the thing: "In my opinion." -- I'm starting to wonder is it just me? Is it just a "style" people adopt...

"You shot me in the back!" "You wanted to get hit in the front, you should've run toward me." Gonna miss this show.

Haha yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Dude hangs himself with her scarf like 5 feet away and she's lying there sawing logs.

I think a lot of American shows want to pump out a ton of episodes in order to get it into syndication. I think you need something like 60 episodes in order for it to sell into syndication.

I really enjoyedHappy Valley. Ireallywanted to see the antagonist die a horrible, horrible death. Fucking hated that guy. Anyway, BBC One series and, as with most British shows, is very short. 6 eps and you're done. But I believe a second series has been commissioned.

I suspect Charlie told Norman to drive her Porche back to the motel, since she would be whoring it up with some dude later that night.

This is back as of last night.

Why? Do you think he was burying a red-haired mannequin? I don't even recall the reason why hehadto kill her. I know she was Corey Stoll's call girl. But did she actuallyknowanything? Can't remember. Season was pretty 'meh'. I didn't really understand his motivation for pushing...

I thought the first half was mildly amusing. But I had my doubts that the show would have longevity with just Will Forte talking to Wilsons. Then Kristen Schaal showed up and things really picked up -- two years of no human contact then finally discovering another living person - only to find...

Durrr. Just realized "Ton DC" is Washington DC. Only one episode left. Hope Arlo makes things right.

If there's one thing I learned this episode is that Carol has a great smile.

RIP Spock. I actually liked the Voyager ending -- except the shoehorned Chakotay and Seven of Nine romance. That came out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't great like TNG's. But it was fun watching a future-fitted Voyager kick Borg ass.

Look at those game prices! $69.99?! Remember this is back in the early 90s.

Personally, I'm now more interested in other JVM languages, such as Groovy or Scala. I've heard cool things about Groovy -- about how it removes a lot of the "gunk" you have to deal with in Java.

I don't have any professional experience with Java, but I did read two giant tomes on Java 8 just recently. The impression I got was that it's very similar to C# - very easy to learn if one knows the other. Java often requires more boilerplate code to do the same thing, though (e.g. no auto...

Damn

And it's really not doing too well in it's new time slot.

Oh, I'm sorry. By "future" do we just mean 5 years from now?

Perhaps not the same physical body but the possibility exists for your consciousness to be "downloaded" into a new vessel.

Actually, barring accidents, I can foresee us extending life indefinitely. Hell, "backing up" the contents of our brains and downloading into a new body is a frequent subject in science fiction. Of course this brings up the whole debate about the "soul" and what not, but it doesn't remove the...

Haha, from that season 7.5 video, they definitely look like they're in the 70s. Jessica Par? is so hot...even with those teeth.

Wow, that actor nailed it.

Yeah, I consistently look forward to it every week. It's a shame the ratings aren't higher, although luckily it's been renewed for a third season. Also, I love the intro.

Bumping because I routinely get some good laughs from this. The two younger kids are adorable and the little girl really is hilarious. And, for some odd reason, I actually find the mom sorta attractive. Even with the weird eye.

Kind of waste to ship in former contestants to only have them dance for a couple minutes.

That was a pretty bad ass fight. It's pretty obvious Juliette is starting to dig the new her.

One point I'd like to make from personal anecdotal evidence is that those with degrees tend to poo-poo those who don't. At my place of employment it's quite obvious that those without degrees are seen as lesser beings. Quite a bit of intellectual snobbery goes on. So I can see where a hiring...

I managed to get a developer position by coding tools for our operation department. This caught the attention of some higher-ups and they brought me in. I have no degree. And, quite honestly, I am not impressed by those that DO have software engineering degrees here. I am quite confident...
