    You might try a BFL Jalapeno, those are $149 a pop. Granted they haven't shipped any yet and if you ordered today, you probably wouldn't see a product until June or July at the earliest. At least a video card you can use for gaming.

    Nvidia cards generally suck at mining. You can find the hardware comparisonhere I'd say if you really want to get into mining, look at asic rather than video cards. Avalon is the only one that has shipped any units so far, BFL is suppose to shipping soon or buy shares in ASICminer, they're...

    I'm just shy of 1 g\hs and it takes me about 1 month to generate 5 btc at current prices it will net me $230. Thankfully I can do this at work where the electricity is free. The price per coin has gone up a lot recently, like $20 in the past 2 weeks or so. I'd look for it to drop fast soon. No...

    Bandwidth caps. Which limit people from streaming unlimited from sites like netflix. They are doing it to protect their video profits. Hell they already have a 90% profit margin on the internet side and bandwidth caps allow them to charge more. stop the cap has a lot of good articles about...

    That is correct and the reason we will never see ala carte. Though I think cox just sued Viacom for forcing the bundling of their shit channels with their good ones.

    Direct Tv

    I love my directv, had it for 5 years now. Only thing I don't like is the HD fee, which I currently get a credit for, just a pain calling up and asking for it. I dig the whole home DVR. I also have cable but I have that for phone for my alarm and internet, it was cheaper to get a tripleplay but...

    The issue I have with the new limited data plans is that you are stuck paying money more for less data. I got my nexus right before Verizon switched to their limited data plans so I'm good for another year or so before I'd consider upgrading my phone and have to think about giving up the...

    You need to watch H2 to get any type of educational programming now. There is too much money to be had for history to show that type of programming.

    I just put my house up for sale and my agent put the house on a site called listingbook. It was the first I had heard of it but it seems the same as MLS. I still prefer zillow though for looking for homes.

    IDC says Android is the new king of tablet market share This has apple at 43.6% of the market. Android at over 50% but only as a combined share across all devices running Android and Microsoft at 1.7%, having shipped 900k units in the 4th quarter.

    Tablets

    Apple releases new iPad with 128 GB of storage Costs $799 for wi-fi and $929 for LTE. Seems rather pricey to me and I'm not sure the extra storage is really needed, with the push to put everything in the cloud.

    Well he does have his own 37 book series to write but I imagine writing in someone else's universe is rather stifling creatively. I would hope though that another author might eventually take up the world

    I just finished the book. Fairly content with the way things ended. I feel though that if Jordon was alive, we probably would have had 4 or 5 more books before the end. Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't there an interview where Sanderson stated that Jordon had written the last 200 pages or so...

    I wonder if Jordan's widow will hire a writer to write those novels about Mat and Tuon that he talked about years ago. I would certainly hope that this isn't the last we've seen of this world.

    Buying a car?

    In Missouri, if your car is older than 1997, you don't have to get an emissions test, just an inspection. Kind of backwards really, newer cars should have better emissions controls on them than older cars.

    If I remember right, Jordan always said he made the first hundred pages or so similar to Tolkien to give readers a familiar setting. It does get better. I didn't really like it until they hit shadar logoth.

    I'm looking at getting a new car shortly. Considering the optima, accord, altima or possibly a passat. I've test driven an optima and accord so far. Optima was v6, accord a 4 cyl. So far I'm leaning towards the optima, seems to have more features for the price. Anyone have experience with the...

    I think Logain is going to end up kicking Taim's ass up and down the Black Tower with this bonded Aes Sedai. Elaida did have the foretelling that the Black Tower would be broken in fire and blood and the Aes Sedai would walk its halls. There does seem to be two factions at least, Logain's and...

    Rand did learn through the door way that in order to live he had to die. Points towards a soul transfer I suppose. I finished Path of Daggers and I'm about 150 pages into Winter's Heart. Amazing how much I've forgotten. Up until Crown of Swords, I used to re-reread the series after a new book...
