    If you are using Windows Media Center you can control your devices using only bluetooth as long as your computer has bluetooth or you have a bluetooth dongle. WMC can change channels on your cable box etc. although frankly it's easier to use an IR remote like the one included with the device I...

    Archer

    I think some of the characters on Archer this season are getting a bit over the top but it's still easily the best comedy show on TV.

    Alex Jones is a shitbag because I doubt he believes that stuff. He preys on weak minded ignorant people to make his living. Scaring the shit out of the elderly and uneducated people is apparently a money maker. Art Bell was the same thing but much more harmless. My grandmother is 89 years...

    You need an airtight lid and you need it to be strong enough that it will build enough pressure for a violent explosion when the vessel fails. If you had high explosive like C4 or dynamite the pressure vessel would not be necessary but it is for black powder.

    Actually now that I think about it I saw a guy try to make a bomb in a bottle with black powder once. It didn't explode at all, it just burned like a little torch. You need to contain the gas to build pressure to get an explosion.

    The black powder explosion isn't instantaneous. If there isn't something to contain it, it would scatter all the shrapnel without much velocity. The pot contains it until the gas expands enough to build pressure so when the shrapnel starts flying it's going to go at high velocity. Sure the...

    I think the reason for the pressure cooker is to allow a lot of pressure to build up before shit starts flying. If it's not held in for a while the shrapnel doesn't get enough velocity.

    Not really, the communists and nazis really kicked ass in the 1900s, but it doesn't really matter. People kill each other. If they don't use religion, they use politics, nationalism, racism, or good old fashioned greed. Deep down it usually has more to do with power than any of that stuff though.

    Any bets on whether the street celebration in Boston has a higher or lower casualty count than the bombing?

    If this kid lives he's going to have the trial of the decade. I guess it's not likely that he will plead not guilty but can you imagine trying to select a jury for this?

    I think the fact that he went back to his college and was working out in the gym etc. showed that they were pretty confident that they got away with it until the FBI released their photos last night.

    I think what Araysar is trying to say is that he is proud of the actions of his Russian/muslim/communist brethren in Boston. I hope they catch this kid alive. There is a shitload of this story that makes very little sense.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    Our fertilizer plant has residential area on both sides of it. I don't think they are typically considered overly dangerous.

    Yes, you can use an IR blaster with your PC. It's how everybody uses media center if they have a cable box. http://www.amazon.com/HP-REMOTE-CONT.../dp/B004PXJGXU

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    This season is quickly becoming a classic. I wonder what would have happened if Eddie and Reynold had voted for Malcom and Malcom had voted for Eddie and the big alliance had all voted they way they planned so literally none of the votes counted. No real reason that they would have done that...

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    There's a fertilizer plant in my town. I don't know if it is as big as the one in Texas but I can say that I didn't know what it was when I was a kid and probably still wouldn't if I didn't actually buy fertilizer there. Even now that I do I doubt I would have thought "oh shit run for the...

    Anderson Cooper is wearing a Carhartt coat. I bet that didn't come from his closet before he left New York.

    Just heard some sort of ex-CIA dude talking about how the job seemed pretty pro and he doubted that just a couple random nut jobs could pull it off. Also the fact that there were two of them suggests some sort of organization since it's pretty hard for two murderous crazies like that to find...

    It's kind of weird that they were able to drop them in a crowd like that without causing a fuss. If I saw a dude walk up and drop a brand new backpack into a trash can and kept going I would think "Oh shit".

    It's not remotely realistic to find and question every person from a crowd of 30K that had on a backpack based solely on pictures of the crowd. Just think about what would be involved with this. They're not wearing name tags and the event attracts people from all over the world.

    Gun control

    Yeah, the background check for person to person sales is impossible to enforce without universal registration. Registration is a non-starter with gun rights advocates because it's seen as a precursor to possible confiscation down the road not to mention that it would be nearly impossible to...
