    If this is truely for a HTPC (no gaming), that is WAYYY overkill. Buy one of these and thank me later! Intel® NUC Products *edit* To clarify, the NUC makes a perfect media player (I use Kodi). Put your storage on the network (NAS).

    Survivor

    I must say, I laughed out loud after the vote was announced! Usually the jury has some smirks and smiles or shock, but it was a unanimous look of realization "oh fuck.. Abi's coming to Ponderosa with us !" Priceless. That woman needs solid time booked with a shrink.

    Windows 10

    Kodi is what was formerly known as XBMC (X-Box Media Center), so no. PC based. Yes you can get a Linux build though.

    Quite the opposite. Hard wired is always far superior to WiFi in terms of speed / latency. (Provided your hardware isn't ancient) It is actually 100 meters (>300ft).

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    This definitely had a huge advantage when mobilizing for contested Kunark raid mobs. Cabilis has links to 4 different adjacent zones. Very handy ability indeed.

    I haven't played in a few months (maybe better driver optimizations since then), but Witcher 3 would absolutely slow down on occasion on full ultra 1440p settings on my SLI 980 Ti setup.

    They commented a couple times how the rain was so unrelenting that no one could strategize because they were huddled under the shelter for days at a time. Certainly makes for boring television when the entire cast is just sitting in a huddle to try and keep warm.

    Those of you with AMD cards, might want to avoid the latest driver. Apparently it keeps the fan locked at 20% only and users are reporting fried GPUs! Warning: New AMD Crimson Driver Is Heating and Killing GPUs, Users Report - Update

    Website is still fucked up for me for the last few hours. When I go to any newegg link, or type newegg.com directly into the browser, I get redirects and land on this page: Newegg.com - Cyber Monday Is HERE - We're Bringing Back Black Friday.

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    I am trying to give him time to fit in the role. Hell, some of the co-reporters on the show were wooden and stale when they started, but later became stars. Not saying Trevor will ever reach close to Stewart levels, but should still get better with experience.

    Well, just a couple weeks back TL and the next two guilds went into a Trak / VP rotation agreement. Poopsocking was getting old for everyone involved, but I imagine TL were tired of their two main competitors being on Euro time and the obscene batphone hours involved in locking down content. I...

    Very first thing we tried to trip up the bot was dropping summoned water all over the place, but it was insta picked up and (presumably) destroyed. I'm just making the point that it takes 1 individual to grief many. Phinny seems like it will have FAR FAR more raid guilds than previous TLP...

    Until another random bot shows up in the instance to do the exact same thing. 3 hours respawn on the ground spawns. (Yes we spawned instances and had this happen too)

    There's enough griefing to be done to block other guilds for sure. On RF, we recently saw afk FD monk bots on top of ground spawn VP medallion pieces in Kaesora and Swamp of No Hope auto picking up and destroying anything dropped on the ground. We really only had 3 guilds working on VP. Now...

    It can work. The biggest factor is not to turn it on until you are certain it is dried out. Water doesnt hurt it, running electricity through it with water is what shorts and kills it. It's actually best if you can remove the battery altogether while it dies out. Bag of rice + sun. I did this...

    Yep, you can just plug a switch in for more ports. Hell, I have a switch hanging off of another switch on my network. I think I am up to about a dozen hardwired LAN connections in my house.

    Worse. It is to a US Military address, which is USPS. APO mail is charged as domestic rates, usually to New York. The rest of the journey is free via military air. So, basically Newegg are trying to charge $77 for USPS Mail to NY. I have long fallen out with Newegg over their shipping fees...

    Yea, some of the bot abuse has convinced me that DB customer service is entirely non-existant. We have had a translocator bot on RF in commons tunnel for a couple months now. (Pay varying plat fees for xloc / ports). Then you have the more exploitive bots like we have seen the last couple days...

    Plus, the MQ2 build for TLP is exactly the live compile. Would be interesting to see how it would need to be altered for one specific server.

    With current tune, mage pets are essentially useless on boss fights. Our last Trakanon parse had mage pets (each) doing tenths of a percent worth of overall damage. Monks top the parse around 2.5% comparatively. We have been doing all of Kunark targets with only one or two mages who actually...

    I have used Denon for the last 10 years with 3 different AVRs. My current Denon AVR powers 5 figures worth of HT speakers and I really could not say I needed discrete amps to make them sound any better. You need fairly unreasonable listening volumes to really push the higher end Denon AVRs to...
