    I've had the Samsung S2, S3, S4, and now Note 3. I goddamn love the Note 3, but it's basically just an S4 with a larger screen. The big difference(besides screen) on all of them is the camera quality. The camera in the S4/Note 3 is much, much better than the S2 and S3. My wife still has an...

    jeffvader, using HDMI from your video card to go to your TV, + DVI from your video card to go to your monitor will work just fine. You can have both displays running simultaneously and the TV will receive sound via HDMI just fine. Almost all video cards nowadays can output video to 2 sources...

    After reading some more, it looks like I was a little off. The GPU does have it's own onboard audio to transmit audio via HDMI, but since both the motherboard HDMI and the video card HDMI are transmitting the same 100% digital signal, the end result will be the same regardless. And, only 1 or...

    Overclocking that 2500k will probably give you the same(if not better) performance boost in games as upgrading to a newer 3rd or 4th gen i5 That being said, all of those possible options are going to be single-percent performance increases, like, low single percent in gaming. Heres a Tomb...

    Your motherboards audio is the only audio you have, unless you added in a secondary sound card. The HDMI port on your video card is going to pass the exact same audio through it as the HDMI port on your motherboard. The difference in those two ports is basically just which video processor is...

    What is the overall age of that roof? If its under 10 years old and a spot is leaking, it's probably due to some sort of storm/wind/hail/ice damage and there's a good chance that any other section of the roof that faces that same direction is damaged as well. If the roof is 20+ years old, the...

    No, the Monoprice ones cannot OC from what I can tell. It looks like that is the tradeoff. No OC but more reliable return policy via Monoprice, or OC + shady return procedure via Ebay/Korea

    kansas didn't deserve a 2. Sure they had the toughest SOS, but you also have to win most of those games to get a 1/2 seed. 9 friggin losses and a 2 seed? More losses than any of the other 11 1-4 seeds, and more losses than all but 1 of the 5 seeds. I probably would have swapped kansas and...

    How well does it work with your mobile devices? Is there any sort of mobile app that just automatically backs up pictures as you take them like dropbox does? That's the #1 reason I stay with dropbox, just zero effort to upload pics, but ideally more storage would be nice.

    I don't think we get in. Decent record at 22-11, but our only top 25 win was vs UCLA at home, only 3 road wins all year, and we have a losing SEC conference record. Not going to cut it.

    I'd put the over/under at 14 months. Give each of them a good year to soil their wild oats, but then realize they haven't found anyone even remotely worthy of settling down with, and all of a sudden the ex doesn't look so bad. A year is also a good amount of time for the full effect of the...

    The problem is, inspectors just can't possibly see many problems that might pop up. They can't see inside walls to know that your insulation is shit, or that your wiring is not up to code, or that your shower leaks through the floor after it's been on for 5 minutes. It's basically like a...

    And while the vinyl tile flooring itself might not be a TON cheaper (almost all vinyl time is $1-$1.50 a sq foot at Home Depot, vs $1 - $20 sq ft for tile), the install is where you save money. Nothing special needed to cut with other than an exacto knife(no tile wetsaw or anything), and no...

    Vinyl is pretty damn strong. Obviously not *quite* as strong as tile. The only issue my mother ran into was the people who installed her vinyl flooring(she's over 60, she's not doing anything herself, no matter how relatively easy) moved her fridge back on to it too quickly before the...

    You'd be surprised at how decent vinyl looks nowadays. People always envision bad linoleum-like products from the 70s when you mention vinyl, but you can get vinyl that looks exactly like hardwood or tile from a distance. Obviously you'll feel the difference once you step on it, but to look at...
