Oh, the hilarity of singling out one guild as the downfall of P99. Because P99 wasn't a shithole before TMO became dominant, really.

If you're considering the S4, you might as well look at the HTC One, too. It's an excellent phone, all around.

Got a new iPhone 5 last weekend. The new model (still A1428, but with a new radio) does the AWS 1700 band. Goodbye forever, Rogers. As an aside, I heard some rumour that Verizon is trying to get in on the Canadian market, anyone know if this is true?

1. You don't need to buy new copies, for sure. 2. Try Linux Mint first as it's basically point-and-click (including WINE for stuff that isn't native to Linux). 3. See above. WINE, and commercial versions thereof (Cedega, Crossover, etc) are able to play a great many games, even newer...

Switched over to WeMineLTC for now, with a 1% donation. I'm curious to see how well this does for me. Bitcoins aren't the way to go with GPUs anymore, oh well. Hopefully I'll see my order from BFL before it's absolutely useless, but somehow, I think I screwed myself out of some cash. Edit...

OK, gonna check that out tomorrow. BTC prices are on the upswing today, at least.

whatbox.ca is awesome, yes. I wasn't sold on a seedbox until I tried them for a month, and it's so effortless to maintain a ratio now. It's also a good way to obfuscate whatever you're downloading from prying eyes.

Where do you guys mine LTC? Tried a multi-mining pool but it was bullshit and kept dropping me.

Fallout 3 is a great game. Definitely worthwhile. No idea about New Vegas, never did buy it.

Pondering switching to Litecoins with the GPUs at this point. BTC is less and less profitable every day.

I used to maintain a 10.0+ ratio on RevoTT with over 500GB downloaded, with my shitty cable upload rate of ~90K/s. You don't need a seedbox. You need to download what lots of other people want and let it sit there forever. It's as simple as that. Of course, now that I do use a seedbox, it's...

No choice unfortunately, I bought it through Apple so that I could get it unlocked. I'll have to think about this. I don't want to restore it to 6.1.3 (and lose my jailbreak) only to be told that they won't replace it, but I can't bring it to the Apple Store while it's jailbroken or they'll go...

Ah, it's in Japanese. Let me translate. "BUY ME NOW, AMERICAN PLEBS!"

All I've seen is Remote Play functionality, similar to the PS3/PSP. Haven't seen anything that would make me want to buy a Vita just to use in tandem with a PS4.

Mine have never had issues like this. Have you tested the RAM, Alpha?

Honestly, it's like half the people posting about wireless have never actually looked at how many packets are dropped / how shitty the latency is, even on a "good" connection. Wireless is shit, most of the time. It's just convenient. That's why people put up with it.

Anyone have any experience returning an iPhone under warranty and trading it in for a new one? I'm trying to get my hands on an AWS-capable iPhone 5 so that I can use it on an AWS carrier up here, but not sure what my best chances are for returning it for a replacement (within warranty, of course).

There is a big difference between "laptop" and "portable". I don't even see them as laptops anymore if they're desktop replacements. It's just not the same thing. No one's expecting anyone to lug around a 17"-18" Alienware or whatever, they're just too heavy to be effectively mobile on a...

He's wrong about everything except the endgame. It is definitely a clusterfuck.

I have one and I will echo this statement. The screen is every bit as reflective as it appears to be in that pic. ASUS G series. Just do it.

Not sure if you're serious, given the nature of the post before yours, but... that's odd. Most of the 40+-somethings I work with couldn't think their way out of a paper bag, open at both ends, without a how-to document geared towards the level of comprehension of a 5-year-old. You must be a very...

Excellent. Can't wait for the trilogy of sequels, as it were, which is an interesting way of looking at things. Great to see a plan in motion, for sure. Rockets sounds neat, too. Might just be because I have a hardon for anything loosely influenced by Firefly, but hey.

MSDN is apparently staying the same. It's much more expensive, though, if you want everything that TechNet Professional has today (~$6000 for the first year, ~$2500 to renew is what's quoted in the link above). MSDN OS is about double the price of TechNet Professional with much, much less available.

From the great minds that brought you Xbone... http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-sh...ce-7000017541/ It's like they're screaming, through megaphones, "Please steal all of our software, small-time developers". They can't figure out a way to combat piracy (hint: lower prices and better...

Little Singles started shipping on Friday. Just for the fun of it, I went and figured out that in order to break even in 3 months after I receive what I've ordered, difficulty needs to stay below ~75 million. Not sure that's gonna happen... oh well.

Given those two choices? B, every time. Why would I want to live my life constantly striving for the approval of someone who may very well be as fickle as the wind? Screw that.

I should qualify my earlier statement: My wife believes that Nippon Ichi can do no wrong, ever. Therefore, will buy. If any of the gags are nearly as funny as Neptunia was, though, that alone will be worth it.

Will buy. No question whatsoever.

Yeah, the upper limit of 2TB is a FAT32 limitation.

Good stuff. I'm going to switch the HD in mine soon as well, probably buy a cheap SSD so that the system doesn't run quite as hot. 1st gen models are horrible when it comes to heat. That, or I might get a couple SATA extension cables and run the HD outside the box.

Lucky guy. That's an easy enough fix, although I hope you had a backup of your saves and such. YLOD is a pain in the ass. I've reflowed my 1st gen PS3 three times now over the last 3-4 years, and it's still working, but having to point a heat gun at the motherboard every once in a while makes...

While I do agree that both Gears and Forza were good (to some extent, anyway), People get reality shows named after them for less than this.

Shortened that for ya. Seems appropriate given that pretty much anything good in there isn't an xbox exclusive anyway.

Nice! I'm praying that they start getting through orders fast enough that my combined 35 GH/s will actually be worth something when it finally ships. Little Singles are supposed to start shipping next week according to Jody, but that's still just the beginning of the shipments.

Anyone who flips their shit either way is doing it wrong, IMO. Why make a big deal about something so unimportant?

Meh. Wouldn't matter to me either way. Who cares? Like gay guys, I don't care what's up with a tranny unless they're trying to pick me up, in which case... fuck right off. The only problem I'd have is a situation where it's really not all that obvious if it's a he or a she. You know. It...

I don't see that C&D having any success whatsoever. The currency isn't centralized in California. No one will care. In fact, I hope this draws more attention to Bitcoin in general.

I took this to mean that I might have been banned simply for telling him something he didn't want to hear on RR. Imagine my disappointment when I found that I wasn't banned after all. Maybe I should load up SEQ and pretend that I'm building my own server. No, I didn't cheat, it was only for...

Am I the only one who gets a chuckle every time he tells the world who's on his ignore list?

Aw, damn, I didn't even notice that. That's a shame.
