    I don't think that same seller has a 3-arm stand for 27" monitors, probably too much weight or something. The 2-arm stand that I have is this: Amazon.com: Dual Monitor Stand holds monitors up to 27 widescreen. Uses standard Vesa mount. Clamps to Desk.: Office Products Now, there are...

    I recently did a 2-arm mount for my 2 27" monitors, I wish I would have done it YEARS ago. Basically doubled my available desk space and just looks so much cleaner. I went with the kind that just clamps to the desk and it works great. I have the 2-monitor version of this stand: Amazon.com...

    Are you going to wall mount your monitors or have them all on the desk on theirs stands?

    RAM is also stupid expensive right now. I bought 32GB of 1866mhz G.skill RAM in November '12 for $160. You can only get 16GB for that same price now.

    True Detective

    I'm still going with the theory that the grandpa is either 1 of the 5 kings, or possibly the Yellow King. He probably molested Harts daughter. The grandma probably knows about it, because she seems to absolutely despise all men, she has a lot of pent-up anger at the opposite sex. The only...

    Id probably do it, the only benchmarks I've seen where a 280x beats a 770 are high resolution(1440p or above) when a 3GB 280x is being compared to a 2GB 770. Given the same amount of RAM, the 770 would win pretty much every benchmark comparison possible. It doesn't win by a huge margin...

    Strider (2014)

    The main gripe I've seen is the repetitive environments. No snow level(WTF) which was teased in early videos. Makes me wonder if they held back a lot of stuff for DLC or something.

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    The only thing keeping me with cable/satellite is live sports. I hate sketchy online sports feeds, none are ever decent quality, and torrenting sporting events isn't really an option. By that point the game results are usually spoiled via social media, sports almost have to be watched live...

    Yeah we still use Infamil, and while Costco is the cheapest place to buy it, it's still damn expensive. Basically comes out to about $1 per 8oz bottle of formula. Thankfully my wife breastfeeds when she's home, and pumps a little bit at work, so we only have to do like 1 or 2 bottles a day on...

    Saw a new level of douche at Chipotle today. Guy in front of me asked for fajita veggies, but ONLY onions, not green peppers. The employee had to sit there for several minutes picking out onions 1 by 1 with the tongs until the dude was satisfied that he had enough. I wanted to murder his face

    Is Uncharted the best series of the last decade?

    Other than AC3. That game was a blight on the AC franchise. The only game of the whole series that not only did I not finish it, I completely stopped playing it after maybe 6-8 hours. It just wasn't fun at all.

    I absolutely agree, and that's exactly the strategy I use, I spend about $1200-$1500 when I build a new PC. You can cut down that $3000 build to $1500 and still retain like 80% of the performance for half the cost. But, he wanted to spend 3 grand, so there it is.

    The Costco food court ONLY accepts cash though, just be aware of that. No debit/credit cards of any kind. But I also found out that when checking out buying all your normal stuff at Costco, you can tell the cashier to put any of their food court food items on your bill, you can pay for it...

    I can understand the burning desire to NOT build a PC for someone else though. You end up being their free tech support for life because you built it, so you're responsible for it. I've done it for several friends, and it can suck bad.

    Is Uncharted the best series of the last decade?

    We have exactly 9 months from today until Half-Life 2 no longer was released within the last decade (Nov 16 2004 release) On the plus side, we should be due for a genre-defining FPS this year 1994 = Doom 2 2004 = Half Life 2 2014 = ?

    Can you still purchase those exact floor tiles in whatever store they originally came from?

Tear out a few that are full-sized so you don't have to screw with cutting the replacement...
