    Tablets

    I think the main reason tablets can hang pretty close to a lot of desktops/laptops in performance is because Laptop & Desktop monitor/screen resolution advancements have been relatively stagnant in the last decade or so, compared with all the other hardware technology. It doesn't take very...

    Hey now, he did mention that a ND/Mizzou game on a neutral field would be a tossup. I'll take it We sucked this year, I freely admit it, but we played teams with the following end of year records: 13-1('Bama), 12-2(Georgia), 11-2(Florida), 11-2(S. Carolina),11-2(A&M)10-4(UCF), 9-4(Vandy)...

    The Dream Thread

    Same thing here. It probably isn't a few times per month, but more a few times per year(at least that I remember) The last really vivid/weird one I had was a dream that I was on a boat I didn't recognize, on a lake I didn't recognize, with people I didn't recognize. The distinguishing...

    Lenovo to release 27-inch "cofffee table" tablet. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/01/...nch-tablet-pc/ 5 people at once can use it, it recognizes 10 fingers at once as input. Would be an awesome party device for playing board games or even table-top strategy/RPG games. Price needs to...

    Shaving

    Do you not have any issues with the shaving cream running off of your face when it's that wet, humid, & steamy in a hot shower? How often do you change your blade on your safety razor? I just received a variety pack of blades to figure out which I like best, and I used to use cartridge...

    Shaving

    Mostly just cost, since it's a retail store everything they sell is quite a bit more expensive than the equivalent products are online. They are a decent knowledge resource though if you want to go talk to someone with questions about different types of shaving creams/soaps, razors, etc...

    The SEC could easily have 9 of the last 10 national titles 05 Texas over USC is probably the only one they didn't have a shot at. In 04, USC beat Oklahoma, but later had to vacate the title for cheating. Auburn was undefeated in 2004 with a team sporting Jason Campbell at QB, and Ronnie...

    House of Blues - Offical Thread of the Blues

    I think Jack White perfectly sums up why I do enjoy the blues, and also whats wrong with a lot of modern music. Also really enjoy his music, especially the great blues songs(whether originals or covers) he slips onto every record he makes Also really like the early Black Keys albums...

    CFB 2012-2013

    I dont think ND has a chance at actually winning unless they get some non-traditional scoring(kick returns, defensive returns). If this game just ends up being straight up as the two offenses vs the two defenses without any shenanigans, then Alabama has the advantage. The defenses are...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Hah, that was exactly my situation. Basically didn't watch any TV from like 1999 to 2005 or so because of Everquest, so had a huge backlog of shows to catch up on, Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Firefly, Oz, many seasons of the Simpsons, etc. I found myself working out like a fiend...

    WDTV/ Roku Streamers

    Yeah, it's a rip. On my cable & internet provider(Time Warner), you don't get online access to ESPN3 unless you actually subscribe to a cable TV package that includes ESPN as well as subscribing to their Internet package. So basically, you drop the cable channels and ESPN3 disappears from...

    Must Have Software

    Yeah, you wouldn't want to clone your boot/windows drive from a mechanical HD to a SSD, you want a fresh install of windows so it can default to the correct settings on an SSD. It would work, but you won't get optimal performance.

    The only hangup I could see would be based on how attached your wife is to iTunes, as syncing/accessing your iTunes stuff on an Android phone isn't quite as seamless as an iOS device

    I've always found low/no impact excersize like an excersize bike or elliptical machine in my home is the most likely thing to keep me working out regularly long-term. Put it in front of a TV or a computer, download several seasons of a show you've always been meaning to watch but never have...

    I really wish I could ditch cable/satellite, as I pretty much don't watch any actual series when they are shown initially anyways(DVR or torrent afterwards), but as a huge sports fan, I just can't do it. Something crazy like 34 or the 36 college bowl games were on ESPN or its affiliates, even...

    The Beer Thread

    World Market is a good spot to get special edition Smokestack releases from Boulevard, on the Missouri side of KC. I picked up some Rye on Rye there recently, and earlier this year they also carried Collaboration #3, and the 2012 Saison-Brett. Decent prices too, I think they were all like $11.99.

    Washer and Dryer

    After having owned both a front-loading washer(current, new washer) and top-loading washer, fuck the front loader. As a tall-ish person(little over 6-feet tall), I basically have to get on my hands and knees to reach into the back of the washer for that one last sock or whatever is left in...

    Computer Issues

    Do you have the newest bios version for your ASRock motherboard? I had all sorts of weird crash/lockup/reboot issues on my ASRock(not the same model as yours though) until I did a bios update. It was sketchy as hell out of the box with the default bios(even though I just bought it new 2 months...

    I've had a WDTV Live for probably 3 years or more now. Works great, works fine with MKVs, and every file type I've thrown at it. I have it wired though, so I can't comment on how it does wirelessly with streaming 1080p. My only gripe about the WDTV Live is that the remote is tiny and easy to...

    Torrents

    I've been looking for a decent ebook torrent site for a while and have yet to find one. The standard answer is usually newsgroups/usenet, but I've honestly just been too lazy to get set up with that, since you have to actually subscribe to a plan from a provider.

    Movie Pass

    I'm not sure there are 4+ movies per month year-round that I would want to pay to see. Maybe during the Summer when all the big blockbusters hit, but man, that January-April time period is usually pretty lean for releases. That pass is damn near $400 for the year, even at $10 a pop I can't...

    Shaving

    And as far as shaving with a safety razor, the biggest thing I keep reading from everyone is to find the right blade for you. All razor blades are not created equal, buy a sampler pack of blades off of Amazon and experiment. Everyone is different and there is no correct choice that works for...

    Shaving

    I just started shaving with a double-edge(DE) safety razor a few weeks ago, and while it seems like much less irritation than my old Fusion cartridges, I think some of the techniques people stress for DE shaving would have also improved shaving with cartridge/disposable razors too. Using a...

    Album of the Year (2012)

    Same here. I'm in my mid 30s now and I find that while I still have an open mind to new music, and I don't limit myself to listening to nothing but music from my teenage years or college days like some people do forever, I find my patience for new music has declined somewhat. If it's a new...

    It's going to take another conference winning a national title before you don't see SEC teams ranked at the top of preseason polls the following year. There is no doubt that teams that start with a high ranking have an easier road to playing in a national title game than teams that start lower...

    I went with the full sized HAF 932 when I built my new PC last month http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119160 Mainly because 1) 3/4 of the top is a grill that any type and size of fan/cooler/radiator can easily be mounted to 2) It comes with wheels you can attach to the...

    Christ, nevermind. Can't find a price on FedEx less than about $70 to ship a 2-3lb box, and UPS is about $32 for the same(and that's only if you take it to a UPS drop-off, they won't come to you, you use your own box, print your own label, etc, basically a pain in the ass). I've never tried...

    Micro-USB question

    Desktop Computers

    I can't remember what your current video card is, but if it's still performing decently for you, it might not hurt to wait a couple months. The new AMD 8000-series cards should be announced/releasing this Spring, so I'd expect 7000 series cards, and possibly even Nvidias 600-series cards to...

    Desktop Computers

    Honestly, you could easily get a few more years use out of that setup with a new video card, and you could easily slap in a sound card to make up for the on-board sound crapping out. My only concern would be if the onboard sound is crapping out, there's a good chance something else that isn't...

    Ohio State beat all of 2 teams that are currently in the top 25, #16 Nebraska and #18 Michigan, and both of those teams lost their bowl games. Ohio State was a decent team that benefitted from an extremely weak schedule and extremely weak Big 10. Their non-con was a total joke too. The only...
