Recently switched routers, from an old Dlink DGL4500 to a new Asus RT-N66U which I absolutely LOVE and is better in almost every possible way. However, my torrent upload speeds have gone to absolute shit. I used to regularly seed things and see my torrent client(bitcomet) uploading at 500+...

I have 2 IP Torrent invites, PM me your email address if you want one(IPT sends out the invites based off of your email directly from their site, I can't just give you a link)

no recycling fees in my state, so I've never had to deal with that, and most people generally know how much sales tax is in the area they live, since you generally deal with it every single day of your life. Cable/phone companies won't give you even a general idea of how much the taxes and fees...

I absolutely HATE that virtually any cell/phone/internet/cableTV provider can never give you an honest answer as to what your actual bill will be. You talk to them, they tell you your service will be $75 a month or whatever "plus applicable fees and taxes". Well, how much are those? They'll...

About the only difference I can ever tell between a $12 plastic jug of smirnoff and something more expensive like Grey Goose is the hangover the next day. The extra filtering of the more expensive brands seem to hurt a little less the next day. Not sure if that is worth 4 or 5 times the price...

I'm assuming that switching phones/plans as basically a new customer now, you probably can't get unlimited data anymore on Verizon? Sprint still has unlimited data, it's just slower than most other carriers. So I guess it depends on if you want to be limited and fast, or unlimited and slower...

Costco can vary a lot depending on what part of the country you are in. Most Costcos carry a few local items. Here in KC they have Jackstack BBQ Burnt Ends in the refrigerated food section. Microwave those mofos up, add some more BBQ sauce to them and you have BBQ awesomeness overload...

Wendys still has the best fast food chicken sandwich. Their Spicy Chicken sandwich just kills anything Chick Fil A has. Chick Fil A has zero spice, not sure how they can even claim to have a spicy chicken sandwich.

Having a blast on this server. Been playing casually since the day it went live, have a small guild set up with some buddies, a nice house built with a forge and anvil in it, and having fun with my GM mage/archer. Sadly, having more fun with this than any MMO thats released in the last 5 years...

The current Vikings with AP remind me a lot of the Lions with Barry Sanders. They're pretty much on pace to waste his whole career with shitty QBs and the occasional 1st round exit in the playoffs in the years when the all-world RB can carry them enough to get there. Most years, they won't...

Good to hear, all of the CyberPower UPSs had stellar reviews online, seems like a solid company.

Alternately, but a unit from Costco, copy all your VHS tapes, return it the next week. A little dishonest, but you're pretty much never going to use the thing again once all your tapes are converted. No use holding onto the device forever.

The router just arrived today, love it. Much stronger signal and setup was just ridiculously easy. Also bought this UPS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16842102082 Great UPS so far, simple and effective monitoring software, just plug the UPS into your PC via USB, even a handy...

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with a frozen burrito slathered in sriracha. Minute and a half in the microwave, then put the sriracha on and finish off for the last 30 seconds. Tasty

Just be aware that most of the portable/external CD/DVD burners that are powered purely via USB will require 2 USB ports to plug into to get sufficient power to run them. I have the ASUS one that's $29.99 at Newegg and it works great, just make sure you have enough ports(I have no idea what #...

Did you actually just compare a soundbar with a $7,000 7.1 surround system? Of course your 7.1 system is going to be better, I doubt there will be a ever be a soundbar that would compare with it at any point in the next 20 years. Christ, that's like someone asking for opinions on Honda...

20% if service is good. I'll go down to 10% if service is really slow or they fuck several things up and don't compensate well for it. If the waitress is badass and I never even come close to running out of beer/alcohol, then I'll go up to 30%-50% range. I've only ever not tipped at all...

I'm in the same boat. I know jack and shit about anything related to home projects. I'll build you a computer in an hour, but ask me to install a ceiling fan and I'll want to shoot myself in the face. Everything I try to do around the house ends up taking 4x longer than I had planned and...

Always do a fresh install if you have that option. I haven't done an OS upgrade since Windows 3.0 -> 3.1, and that was a mess.

Also, I buy seasonal equipment during the off season. Buy your lawnmower and weedeater during the winter, and if you are getting a snowblower get it in the summer. Try to buy gardening/lawn shit in the fall/winter, etc. A little planning ahead can save a lot of money, you'll get charged a...

Was looking into building a PC for a friend, and I can't believe how much higher prices are on parts right now than back around the Black Friday/Cyber monday timeframe. The computer that I built for about $1000 back in late November is now about $1300 in parts just 2 months later. The price...

You can also use Razor to force UO into a higher resolution. What this does is make your screen larger, but actual dynamic content(players, mobs, NPCs) still disappear outside of the appropriate view range, but static content(landscape, buildings) draw all the way to the edge of the screen...

Yep and if you configure Calibre properly and tell it what kind of format your tablet reader is(.mobi or .epub), it'll just convert on the fly while transferring books over. You never have to even think about what version you are downloading, just grab whatever you want, push it to your tablet...

Go plasma for gaming if the room/lighting allows it. 600hz is basically overkill, but why not get it if you can? Who knows, maybe the next-gen xbox and playstation won't be capped at 60fps, maybe they will push towards 120(probably doubtful) and you'll already be ready for it. Ghosting is a...

Count me as a fan of Windows 8, especially for people who are computer illiterate. Bought a new Samsung laptop for my parents(who can't do much more than email and web browse) and they LOVE windows 8. Was very intuitive for them, and the windows key on the keyboard basically working like the...

I only did if I was running full-screen. Razor tries to send messages and updates to your taskbar/window header pretty often and when it's hidden in fullscreen it creates some graphic glitches. Ever since I've been running in a window I haven't had any issues.

Just loaded up the new open beta after being in the closed beta for 6+ months... Did they totally jack with the field of view in this game? I can't zoom out nearly as far as I used to be able to in closed beta. I feel like the distance that I can see on my screen has been cut down at least...

and half or more of the Samsung, HTC, LG, Google/Motorola, etc. lawsuits are just counter-suing Apple because they started the whole issue in the first place

Tuck/bend that crap back behind the walls and drywall over it. I'm all about half-assing home projects and covering shit up to avoid more work than necessary

Thunderbolt is the next firewire(actually, it'll be lucky if it's even that successful). Meaning, it'll be pretty much gone and useless within 5 years as a very small % of peripherals ever ship with support for it, as opposed to USB. The vast majority of consumers won't pay a premium for a...

Been working up my archery/lumberjacking over in the Minoc/Vesper areas and Covetous(yay harpies for farming feathers). My two characters are Joeboo and Jobu if you happen to see either around. I've only been ganked once so far, down near the bottom of Covetous. PK fencer/poisoner sliced me...

I've never owned any really high end stereo equipment, but for your average person Denon can't hardly be beat. I've had surround receivers over the years from Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic, and Onkyo and the Denon I have now stomps them all both in terms of sound quality and ease of use/setup.

And the mini Industrial-Rock revolution in the mid 90s after NIN hit it huge Gravity Kills is another Mizzou/Missouri band, used to play pretty often around town. Have a soft spot for them. Saw Marilyn Manson at a small club while in college, had never heard of them/him(they were...

so cheesy, and so awesomely 90s(damn Canadians) Local Missouri band that just couldn't quite turn the corner of hitting it big, but had a minor hit(they were big when I was at Mizzou) One of my favorite 90s band that never got quite as popular as they deserved And of course, the...

Goddamn I had the hots for Claire Danes in the mid 90s And the best Soul Asylum song ever

Google Fiber "not a hobby" and Google Chairman states that they are thinking about rolling out the service to other cities http://www.latimes.com/business/tech...tory?track=rss

Right up my alley here. Was in highschool from 92-96 and college from 96-99. Some of my favorites(that are a little off the beaten path, nothing obvious like Smells Like Teen Spirit or Wonderwall) Stutter cracks me up...song about Daman Albarn's(Blur, Gorillaz) bedroom problems...

16GB is a lot of space for books. For example, I downloaded the entire NY Time Bestseller list for January 13th(35 books) and it was only like 40 MB. I've had a 16GB Nexus 7 since the day they came out, and I've only used up about 4GB of space, and that is with downloading a crapload of apps &...

The UOForeversite has a few videos on the basics of the game and getting started with combat, crafting, and housing http://www.uoforever.com/guides.php However, as far as what builds are the most powerful, I honestly couldn't tell you. I quit playing UO a little bit before some of the...
