    Yeah networking is not my area of expertise at all, but since I'm only missing out on a feature I would rarely use anyways I'm not too worried about it

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    I've never, ever been able to set up the Plex server, it just can't connect. Not a big deal I can still access everything on my home network, I just wouldn't be able to use their web interface when away from home. Doesn't work when forwarding their recommended port, a custom port number, or...

    Water chestnuts are the celery of Asian cuisine. No flavor, 90% water, they're basically just there to provide a different texture.

    The Back to School Thread

    I haven't been in college in 15 years, so take this with a grain of salt... But when I was in school, Computer Science/Computer Engineering was usually only different at universities depending on which school they were part of. When I went to Mizzou, both Computer Science and Computer...

    I don't know anyone under the age of 50 with a land line in their home. My parents and my in-laws and my aunts/uncles ALL still have landlines, but they are also all in their 60s and 70s. Even though most at least have cell phones now too, they refuse to let go of that phone number that...

    Yeah your idle wattage is going to almost completely be based on what CPU you have, the newer the better. My i5 3570K idles at like 90w, but a newer i5 4670k idles at 79, and an older i5 2500k is up at like 110. Video cards draw next to nothing at idle, like 10-20w. My results were probably...

    Only the .00001% of the general public that are total hardcore movie nerds would even bother reading the script. He might as well make the movie, the vast majority of the general public would never even know that the script was floating around years beforehand.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    No, but you can find weapons that have mods that hit the whole group, and also armor pieces that add enemy group damage. Although those amounts tend to be small-ish, you're better off using those tactics with someone who dual wields so you can stack the damage 4,5,6 times across multiple...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Level 3 of the Lost City is no joke. I'd wager that levels 1,2, and 4 are doable in your early to mid teens in level, but I wouldn't touch level 3 until you're close to level 20. Luckily, 1, 2, and 4 are interconnected, you can completely bypass 3 if need be. Also, try to have the ability to...

    For the last couple years at least, Samsung has staggered their 2 primary phone lines 6 months apart. Galaxy S-whatever comes out in April, then the Note comes out in October

    Probably either Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or LG G2, for Android phones. Just depending on what size of screen you want. I've had the Note 3 since October, and its phenomenal. It would honestly take 5-6 hours of hardcore game playing per day to run the battery down before you go to bed. Thing's...

    Was curious since that lvl 40 achievement listing that was referenced earlier specifically mentioned "in a single play-through", which I assumed it was implying that you could continue on with your same party again after you finished, maybe in a harder mode or something.

    From what I have read about baby sign language, your kid probably won't be able to express their thoughts as sign language back to you under 9 months to a year of age, but you can start exposing them to the signs as early as 3 months, and they'll slowly start to understand them Our 8 month...

    I think one of the main issues with worthless skanks vs women worth dating on online sites is the general age range you are after. If a 21 year old woman has to resort to an online site to get a date, she is probably hideous, fat, or has some severe issues. It's easy as hell to get tons of...

    Women and their general physical fitness level just baffle me sometimes.

    You can have 20% bonus to exp, theres the quest guy that you can pick up starting in Seahaven I think, and then there's an actual 10% guy you can hire, I think I got him in Karthal. So I was running at 20% gain for a good while until some quests made me take a certain NPC and I lost my henchman...

    While having several months off sure is nice, who the heck works at a job where you can take half a year off and it doesn't cause a major problem?

    Did they put you guys on any extra calorie supplement? Our kid was a preemie and had to take at least 2 bottles a day(pumped breast milk) so we could add powdered calorie supplement to them.

    How extensive are the customization tools for this game? I would think the engine would be perfect for recreating 4th edition D&D modules if the basic combat rulesets & skills can be changed. It's already tile-based for easy transition to D&D movement/strategy

    I just use it as extra reinforcement, and honestly myself and mom & grandma(his daycare during the day) didn't know baby sign language at all, so we all kind of used it at the start to learn it. Now that his 3 main caretakers know it, we use it all the time with him, the video is just some...

    I guess the only downside to a melee ranger is that you can't GM dual wield, only Master. Hasn't slowed me down any. You can still GM dagger and Master sword(extra attack). He's also my backup emergency healer since you can master Nature magic(regen)

    Dual wield + multiple hits(dagger/sword) + items that add damage to entire enemy party upon hit = ridiculous. I have 3 different items on my ranger that add +AOE damage, like 13 ,14, and 12. And it triggers on every hit he connects with on his main target. Talk about screen spam, numbers...

    When you reloaded Win7, was it a complete clean format and reinstall, or did you just do the fix/reinstall where it applies over your current Windows? If you didn't do a clean wipe, the problem could have easily carried over.
