    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Yeah, this bothered me too. Fighting the Hulk would have had the exact opposite effect Tony wanted.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    I think I was most drawn to Helen Cho, despite her limited screen time.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Decent movie, but not as good as the first. I'm not familiar with the comic Ultron character, but it always bugs me a little when robots / A.I.s act human. Maybe Ultron took on some characteristics of Stark? Not sure, but every time Ultron spoke I kept seeing Red Reddington. Also, yeah...

    Movie's cliches and techniques

    Here's one: people dreaming or remembering in the third person. Not sure about you, but I don't have out-of-body experiences while remembering some past event.

    Wayward Pines

    Watched the pilot last night. I enjoyed it, although not sure of its longevity. Could be another LOST in that regard.

    Gotham

    I believe she's a character from the comics so her dying is probably unlikely.

    Naked and Afraid

    They usually show their item choices but not this time. POOF! fire starter.

    Naked and Afraid

    Wow, that dude WTFPWNED that challenge. Although, surprisingly, he lost about the same amount of weight as most "contestants".

    The Flash

    Not sure how Barry's current speed compares to Marvel's Quicksilver -- but we saw how absolutely ridiculously powerful super speed can be inDays of Future Past. No way Snart and pal would stand a chance.

    The Last Man on Earth

    Wow, Carol was actually kinda hot in that dress. I really like this show. Not sure why it receives so much hate here.

    Other Space

    First episode was pretty funny. The ship's A.I. is right up there in hotness with Lexa Doig.

    Windows 8

    I magically starting receiving news notification pop-ups from the Windows 8 "Money" app. No idea why it started doing this nor can I find an option anywhere to tell it to shut the hell up. And, no, it's not already opened in the background or anything. Weird.

    No shit. I can't count the number of women in these shows that scream, "You must tell me EVERY. SINGLE. SECRET. or you don't LOVE ME!!!!1" Fuck you.

    Justified

    Will miss you Raylan and Boyd...and Tim. I thought the finale was great and was happy it ended the way it did. Also, I'm guessing the showdown between Raylan and Boon proved Raylan was the quicker shot. It was clearly shown that Boon was an crack shot (rattlesnake head and all of that)...

    Having all your business logic as stored procedures sounds like insanity to me. AngularJS -> ASP.NET Web API (or equivalent) -> SQL Server (or equivalent) is certainly a fine and fairly effortless way to go.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Is this family friendly? Or, being Netflix, do they have gratuitous sex scenes?

    The Flash

    My prediction is this: Barry goes back to time to save his mom and ends up saving the original Harrison Wells in the process. This results in the particle accelerator not getting built until 2020. Because of this, Barry no longer has the speed force (ala Flashpoint Paradox). That'll be the...

    Better Call Saul

    I watch the TV rips and was shocked - SHOCKED I SAY - that they dropped the "F" bomb twice. Was this bleeped out during broadcast in the US? I thought cable networks were maxed out at "shit".

    Well, what is hash table that implements a push/pull mechanism on any given key. No such thing in the .NET library. Like I said though, easy enough to implement. I've actually come to really like Javascript.

    Right, I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel if it wasn't necessary (not that it would be a huge effort - I wrote something in 2 minutes that does the job). I sometimes have to code device interfaces which involves storing control ids and needing to know which control ids I've received and...

    Question: is there a data structure that is sort of like a Queue or Stack but is random access? For example, I request an element at a particular index, that element is retrieved and automatically removed from the set. I can create such a beast with a custom Dictionary class with some added...

    Well, I don't know about the whole C++ thing, but I recommend JetBrain's WebStorm for web development. I already had some basic experience with their IntelliJ IDE for Java so Webstorm was already familiar to me. But I feel it's pretty easy to get comfortable with if you have no prior experience.

    That's what I'm thinking. Barry will change the past so that Tom Cavanagh can remain a show regular.

    Computer Issues

    Pretty sure I figured out what was causing this problem. Someone mentioned a power issue and I think it was precisely that. The new motherboard only had a 4 pin power connector vs the newer 6-pin style. My original MSI board had 6 pins so that's what I was using. The new ASUS board had...

    Holy shit, was that the same actress playing young Katarina? That's gotta be the best make-up job I've ever seen.

    Interstellar (2014)

    I realize this isn't a BTF thread but just as an aside - Old Biff would not have been able to return to his original future. He would've traveled to the new future he created by giving Young Biff the almanac. Additionally, Marty could not have traveled to the future to see himself. By Doc...

    Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about. I'd like a guide/book that says, hey, go install X, Y, and Z pieces of software and then gradually build on examples. Adam Freeman's (Apress) books on ASP.NET 4.5 MVC and his AngularJS book are fucking fantastic in this regard. I have Wrox's...

    Well, for one I feel it's easier to learn. The Microsoft stack is pretty set. With Visual Studio, SQL Server, C# and ASP.NET you've got everything you need to build anything. And any books and guides are centered around those. Like I mentioned above, I'm trying to learn more about Java EE...

    Java has a shit ton more frameworks, so there may be certain situations where it is the ideal choice. And, like mentioned above, the Intellij IDE is pretty damn good. By the way, I'm trying to learn Java EE for web development. But i cannot find a good book or tutorial that doesn't...

    Equal Pay for Equal Work?

    Let me get this straight: you have two individuals applying for thesameposition. One has a degree, the other does not. However, both individuals, given their work experience, are equally qualified for the job. However, because the degree holder "took time out of the workfoce and spent money"...
