    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Get the child support agreement in a written contract, and keep receipts for EVERYTHING Buddy of mine separated from his wife, but she kept the kid and he paid her child support, but nothing that was written up formally or decreed by a court or anything. Year or so later she got pissed at...

    That ASUS motherboard is solid, intel NIC, plenty of SATA6, USB 3.0 and PCIE slots for anything you'd ever want to do. The 770 is a great card as well, I see nothing wrong with pulling the trigger on both, they'll keep you going for quite a while. the *only* thing I would consider with the...

    I'm still predicting that the Big 12 falls apart within the next 5 years. Texas is just unbearable, Oklahoma has to want out bad, it's just unfortunate that their state is tying their future to Okie St or else they probably would have jumped ship already.

    Yeah, our defense kind of quit in that game. We had multiple NFL prospects and Navy was cut-blocking the shit out of them. We started the game off well and stopped them the first few times they had the ball, no problem and then the D just basically started worrying about not getting their...

    Had to take the outside casing apart to remove the stand, so I could basically wall mount it instead. Then once I was in there it was the matter of just 1 more piece of metal framing coming off in order to access the panel to tape it down and fix the backlight bleed. It's a fairly easy process...

    You also aren't in the conference of the Little Sisters of the Poor anymore(SWC) That conference was a goddamned joke for YEARS. Rice, Baylor, Houston, TCU, and TTech were all TERRIBLE during the majority of the years of that conference. Texas and A&M just got to beat up on that conference...

    LOL nice selective statistics. Muschamp was there for 3 seasons. 12-1(Fiesta bowl win), 13-1(BCS Championship game loss), and 5-7 as you mentioned. And yeah, Texas only has 3 Big 12 championshipts(2 are under Mack) but that's good for 2nd in conference history behind Oklahoma(7) You...

    Yeah, I just emailed the seller. According to their postings they do accept returns/exchanges, I would just have to pay for shipping. I'll see what comes of that. I thought about the possibility of swapping out the ribbon, but I don't think I have the soldering skills to do it. I haven't...

    Well motherfuck Was mounting my Qnix to a dual-monitor mount, so had to disassemble it a bit to remove the stand. Figured while I had it half apart I'd take it all apart and see if I could fix the tiny bit of backlight bleed in the bottom corner with a quick electrical tape job. Got it all...

    I think his only significant flaw as a coach is not making good choices on assistant coaches and coordinators. Texas was rolling when he had Chizik and Muschamp as assistants on his staff, and he hasn't followed up their departures with anyone close to the same quality. Because of that they...

    As do I. Big 8 basketball was goddamned awesome, and while Oklahoma and Nebraska dominated the football it was still a fun conference. My first year at Mizzou was the first year of the Big 12 (96), I don't know why but I've held on to all of my football and basketball ticket stubs all these...

    I very much know how Texas works, being an avid follower of Big12 football since its inception, and the old SouthWest Conference being the 2nd closest conference geographically(and on TV) to the Big 8 before that. Grew up watching a LOT of Texas and Texas A&M. A&M has always pulled nice...

    I've tried many, and I've never had one that I thought was really good. All the ones I've had have ranged anywhere from ok to disgusting. I've never had one that wouldn't have been better if it were just the chocolate and the liquor separately. Not sure why you have to ruin 2 good things by...

    The problem with Texas now, as opposed to 10 or especially 20 years ago is that they have allowed the other schools in the state to infringe on their dominance of the state. Yes, Texas is still by far the big boy in the state, but now instead of having 90% of Texas kids dying to be a longhorn...

    I had 2 Hanns-G 1920x1200 27.5" LCD monitors and they are solid, but I just upgraded 1 to a Qnix 2560x1440. Holy crap. For the extra $40 over the Hanns G, do it. The HannsG is $250, the Qnix is $290, both no tax, free shipping. Although, looking at ebay right now, I'm not seeing any Qnix...

    If it makes you feel any better im an insurance agent in the US and our personal lines property rates have been raising like 15-20% a year for the past half decade. Basically most people's homeowners insurance has doubled in the past 5-6 years. There's only so many times you can talk to a...

    And supposedly Saban has had a contract extension offer from Alabama sitting on his desk since last Friday that he has yet to sign and agree to. That has to be making Alabama nervous.

    The shoe thing should also be a conflict of interest, but apparently Adidas can offer a kid in high school 100+ million for an endorsement contract as long as he goes to an Adidas school. Pretty much the same thing(maybe even worse, at least coaches are already paid employees)

    Here's the newest Saban conspiracy theory... Some are saying that Saban is asking for a % ownership of the Texas Longhorn Network(the exact % varies by source). Sounds ridiculous, until you consider the fact that ESPN is hiring Saban to be an analyst during the BCS Championship game...

    While I enjoy the idea of the tradition of the Army/Navy games and what they mean to a lot of people in our armed forces, as purely just a fan of college football those games couldn't be more snooze-inducing. They're like watching old football film from the era before the forward pass.

    AMD is only superior to Intel in software that can actually take advantage of 6 or 8 cores. Games cannot do this. Do no buy an AMD processor for gaming.

    If you are building a PC for gaming, do not buy an AMD cpu Rest of the choices look fine, you'll probably be able to find a better deal on the 770 right now than a 280x as far as video cards go

    To be fair, Chip Brown also reported Mizzou to the Big 10, Texas and Oklahoma to the Pac 12, and all sorts of other crazy inaccurate stuff during conference realignment talks over the past few years. Dude seems to just throw a ton of shit against the wall in the hopes that some of it sticks.

    Right, but future versions of roku, cable boxes, game systems, etc will be 4K compatible, and chances are good that they still won't have 2 video outs, so you really don't want to be stuck with a 4K TV where that is the only solution. Also ideally you want 120hz, as it is the lowest evenly...

    They're pretty damn cheap, honestly. I paid $279 for mine, with free shipping. Hell, I paid $300 apiece for both of my 28" 1920x1200 monitors 2 years ago. Heck at the rate we are going, you'll probably see 4K 27" monitors for ~$300 in another couple years, and 1440p monitors will be like...

    I think that workaround only applies to computers using a 4K display, as most graphics cards now have 2 video outs. Wouldn't really work for a TV with a cable box or Roku or game system as the video source

    No clue honestly, maybe a little of both? I wouldn't be surprised if companies are trying to offload current 4K TVs as they will be rendered obsolete once HDMI 2.0 starts being built in to new models. Nobody will want these 30hz capped models.
