It honestly depends on how important that data is to you. Do you really need a whole TB of data backed up? The stuff I would be really concerned about is digital pictures and video (family) that can't be replaced. That is worth the cloud storage from your PC, no doubt. Random video games and...

Ok, I take that back. Sorry James! (never made it over to RR did he?) Pretty sure it was Eomer who invited me and then burned his own account somehow. Joeboo, I gave you your invite. Well done on the ratio!

Exactly my point. I think this fad is worse than the 3D one.

Domestic trolling at its best!

James burned me on FoH with his shitty IPT ratio. I want to say Eomer invited me, but I can't check until I am home to be sure.

Can we discuss wtf is with these new curved screens? What is the point? I dropped by the Samsung shop the other day and one of their top model 65" curved TVs were positioned right next to a traditional 65" flat TV. I honestly thought the flat one looked significantly larger and better overall. I...

Wow, that is a pretty shitty (and greedy) thing to do to the customer! That is a considerable amount of money over the course of the loan.

Kinda past that point already, arent we?

I want to see how many people pull their bids at the end of this KS. That is just crazy!

I'd love to know the pro / cons of converting a traditional 401k into a Roth. As my balance creeps ever higher, all I can see is how much of it will need to go to the tax man someday. That said, I do know the wonders of compound interest. So is it better to leave it be and compound heavier, or...

It is probably overcurrent protection, just like you said. However, your assumption that it should just blast out full max all day is not entirely realistic. The issue lies within the speakers. Most household speakers are rated around 8 ohms. This is a partial truth. The fact is, the impedance...

Just want to rant again about American Express.. the multi billion dollar company that I work for has some stupid agreement with AmEx and use it as their corporate card for the last couple years. I can not begin to tell you how god damn frustrating it is trying to use this piece of shit...

Just to hit on some comments about credit cards with chips. Europe have been using these for a long time, but the old magnetic swipe still works perfectly fine. Every machine I have ever run across has had both. (I have lived outside the US for the last 15 years) Credit cards also have the...

Is that true? I thought it was selo + DDs. If you are kiting an entire zone, I would think just a few snare resists (out of hundreds of mobs) would ruin your day.

$4.5k for the potato salad KS already. Clearly a KS expert that Brad should have had on the team.

QFT. Seems like an American oddity nowadays. Stood out like a sore thumb in Europe until I ditched the undershirt. But travelling back to the US, it seems complete opposite. Oh yea, another boxer brief fan here.

If he is not overclocking, a stock cooler is perfectly fine. Sure there are very cheap options for big cooling gains, but in reality stock is just fine.

I have owned 3 Denon units and the only time I have ever had a problem was when I was driving 4 ohm speakers for a house party and after a few hours the unit cut out. The Denon (3808) was crazy hot to the touch and pretty much fried. That was all down to me being a lazy ass and not getting a 4...

Go to the search box and type "msconfig" then enter. Go to the startup tab and uncheck any programs you do not want to run at startup. Click Apply.

Bring Reading Rainbow Back for Every Child, Everywhere. by LeVar Burton Kickstarter Less than 24 hours to go and they are closing in on 5 million. Crazy!

Wow! Nearly tied it up there a second!

Bradley can't connect a pass to save is fucking life. Jesus.

Crazy finish!

Yes, CPUs generally will downclock themselves once overtemp. If it gets even higher, it will shutdown like Noodle said.

Granted, I haven't lived in the US for quite a few years but the last I was there I had a brand new off the lot Chevy Tahoe Z-71 completely loaded out and paid about $650 per year to USAA. Do people really pay these monthly rates? I have always paid the yearly up-front rate because it is...

Well, there is that.

Depends how much overclocking you do, I suppose. I swapped mine out after reading about the noise at max speed. Typically, fans that are shipped with CPU coolers and cases are fairly bottom of the barrel for CFM (airflow) vs dBA (noise).

Just caught up the last 6 pages or so. I saw a lot of talk about Qatar hosting the cup. As someone who lives in and has lived in Qatar the last 8 years, I figured if anyone had any questions I would be happy to answer them about what I know. Few things I can say: The Heat: Fuck yes...

Usually junk add-on programs have a tick box option to not install. Sometimes you need to select the "advanced" installation option to see it. Otherwise, are you using the CD that came with the motherboard? Sometimes they have a bunch of bloat. I usually just download them off the web and...

I agree with Jeydax's statement. I have the older Corsair H100 and I just swapped the fans out for some quality ones that are pretty much dead silent. I usually always do this with any case fans to keep the rig as quiet as possible. I have my H100 on max speed and I can barely hear a thing with...

That is kind of like fry knowledge 101. No matter what take out burger and fries joint I go to, I ALWAYS keep the paper bag (and whatever fry container) open. The steam in the closed bag / container is what nukes any fry into a soggy death. Go forth and enjoy better fries all around!! *Edit*...

Quite a few big name watch manufacturers offer rubber straps now. (Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, etc) Plus, on a fitness watch, you tend to sweat while doing activities. I think a rubber strap would prevent slipping a hell of a lot more than a metal strap. I'd definitely prefer a rubber strap...

There are some pretty weird limits on those accounts. It's 4.01% APY up to $10k, then drops to 0.82%. The interest also does not compound into the same account, but is dumped into a different savings account. You can also only have 1 account per person (stops you opening multiple <$10k account...

His meth lab explosion blew up his computer. (his quote, no joke)

I read it as International Matches.

Lumie was right!!!!!
