Annoyed, and kinda miss 'POST beeps'. Restarted my computer... No video output, not lighting up the keyboard. No hint as to what's wrong. Really didn't want to spend my evening on this. Pulled video card, plugged into the onboard... Nothing. This very quickly turns into 'motherboard took a...

New fast ring build out now. Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10565 | Windows Experience Blog This sounds like a nice, welcome addition: Device activation improvements:We have received a lot of feedback from Insiders on making it easier to activate Windows 10 on devices that...

I felt like I got my trial + a months worth out of Linkedin Premium when I was searching earlier this year. ...then a Robert Half guy found me and was able to turn a contract position I disregarded into a regular position and match my pay at my previous job in about 6 days time. All made...

Yeah I'm at the level a hc toon to 70/cube 100 tier and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it any further. Just running out of motivation as the few people I regularly play with slowly disappear. Can do a 56 grift solo on my WD and haven't had the right regular rifts for a 3 minute clear. I'm...

Oh I don't disagree, I saved ~$20/mo based on my usage at the time by dumping unlimited when the new plans came out. I don't have a use case like Arative where I actually need the unlimited and I expect many still holding on don't either.

Ant Man 2 announced and titled. Following our hero's debut adventure in this summer's "Ant-Man," Scott Lang will return alongside Hope Van Dyne on July 6, 2018 with Marvel's "Ant-Man and the Wasp." The sequel will mark the first Marvel Studios film named after its heroine. Additionally...

Yeah, the storm ended up quicker and didn't match their forecasting and whatnot. It was an aberration for sure, ignoring the plausibility bit. Really could have probably fixed that if it was a meteor impact or something. Shockwave/debris hazard from a broken up asteroid impacting multiple...

Shitty phone news today. Customers clinging to unlimited data on Verizon will see a rate hike of $20 next month. -Verizon's grandfathered unlimited data users face $20 price hike - CNET Lumia 950 / 950 XL appear to be ATT exclusive. -If Microsoft builds it, will carriers come? Not for...

Oof, even the main Secret Wars book is kinda boring at this point after all the delays. Iron Man #1 was decent and the art is great. Like 15 more books to go, lol.

Dev demo tour. Microsoft HoloLens Roadshow 2015

Salt is the verdict for the white spots on Ceres. Surprise: Ceres Bright Spots are Probably Salt | Lights in the Dark

They used the Aquaman thing in one of the other viral videos, the 'meet the crew who just spent time in isolation' one.

Man, release slate tomorrow is ridiculous as the first batch of Marvel #1s hit.

Yeah, be sure to grab the games with gold 360 games. For the rest of the year at least they are all BC games.

HoloLens devkits for $3k early next year. 'Mixed reality' demo was spiffy, videos later. Richard Hay on Twitter:

Your audible membership gets you 1 credit per month also for anything in the catalog. So if you only go through an audiobook per month that covers the habit. Start a trial, enjoy the Martian for free, cancel if there's nothing else that interests you. You even keep the book you pick for the...

Looks like the Marvel spring event will be Civil War II, with Iron Man vs. Sam Wilson's Cap.

Need the rest of Tradewars 2002 incorporated into this... Colonize and build on the planets, trade with other systems, etc. Agree with the Spore 2.0 sentiments but hope it proves everyone wrong.

$55.8m estimated for the weekend, good to hear. Matt Damon Soars to Stellar $55 Million at Box Office

I believe you can.

They apparently made some effort to soften the blow, no pun intended. http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/2/9243879/sony-concussion-movie-nfl-will-smith-email

Yeah. I can still get a decent seat for 7:30 tonight. Looks like it will probably just about sell out though.

I'll be surprised if any of these initial devices like the Vive and Morpheus are below $399.

Started World War ZZ (the complete one) love the interview approach and the voice cast.

Audio book is a fantastic 11 hours.

Pretty new to audio books, but have listened to The Martian twice now and Fear the Sky - RC Bray is an amazing performer/narrator/whatever the proper term is. Listened to Insurgent and Allegiant somewhere in there too, wife got me into that one, blah, main female reader is so angsty the entire...

Love this interview w/ Adam Savage. Just 2 nerds geeking out.Adam Savage Interviews Author Andy Weir - The Talking Room - YouTube

Going to go again Friday, doesn't seem to be getting a lot of early ticket sales at my goto theater (can see all the reserved seats online)

I'd expect an expansion announcement at some point relatively soon. Don't see them justifying development salaries and infrastructure costs in 2015/2016 for titles released in 2012/2014 for too long.

We've used Kindle Freetime for the better part of 2 years, the Kindle locks as normal, they're just trapped in the Freetime UI when it's unlocked. Not the 'kids edition' but rather a 7 Fire w/ very similar case and a 10". Home is a UI element that swipes in from the right, not a button. The...

Hope Carmack announces all of that, last keynote left I think. Edit: nope. Everyone there did get a GearVR... but no phone to power it.

Yeah, call and just have a conversation, doesn't even need to be a confrontation. Do 2 minutes of homework and let them know you are looking at a $x offer from a local company, or that $$ is right and you have to reduce services and they'll offer what they can usually. I call every year and am...

It's a good methodical problem-solving movie that's nice to look at pretty much at all times and with a great cast. I'd need to see it again to get a better feel for pacing and stuff, but I enjoyed it a lot.

I agree, was just something I was hoping they could pull off with some good narration, instead you get to watch him do stuff and they skip over things like (book spoilers, naturally): In the end, it's just the 'read the book effect' imo. Rarely have been one of those people who've read...

Saw a screening tonight. I hope there's a nerdier/extended cut when it's released on Blu-Ray/digital. Enjoyed it but missed a lot of the charm that comes from how the book unfolds and the verbose detail and thought process behind some of the things that happen.

I'd like the COD one more if the orange was a bit more muted. Just too loud. The Vader one looks nice, but top designs don't do much for me since most would never see them. Color schemes and full body designs interest me though, like the MGS one...

What Intrinsic said. There's a general achievement (Level 25 Cubist) for extracting 25 legendaries w/ the cube. There's a season's journey meta-achievement that says the same thing (Check Yo Self), but is bugged in some fashion (ie only counts items that aren't class-specific). Now for the...

I'm stubborn and have stuck w/ my Suwong + Helltooth for 400 paragon or so now even though I've managed to get exactlyzeroancients for this build.... but after doing bounties in public games for a couple of hours w/ exploding chicken, not sure I can go back to walking around so 'slow'...

Seasonal achievements being bugged is annoying. Decided to finally get the the 25 extracted... and have since gotten the 25th level cubist achievement twice and am up to 36 extracted with no credit yet for the 'Check yo self' seasonal.
