    Dredd 2 (2027 for Sure This Time!)

    hah I'm doing the exact same thing. Everybody who I've forced to watch this movie has loved it but it's a pretty huge barrier to get them past the stupidity that was the first Dredd movie. My one buddy's solution to every one of his life problems is now "Incendiary" ammo, nothing like a little...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Pretty much, the algorithm that generates bitcoins limits it to generating a block every 10mins (a block is currently 25 coins+transaction fees) and will self adjust it's difficulty after 2016 blocks to ensure it stays at that rate. Every time a block is generated all the transaction associated...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This article does a pretty good non technical explanation:http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=66 One thing it's missing is that the act of mining coins, also doubles as the verification for all transactions within the network. So it's not all "for nothing". In terms of taxing them, I believe that all...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    We had a thread for this previously on foh~ Not really sure if this should be in general or technology, this seems as good a place as any. Bitcoins just hit $17.40 US today passing their 2012 high of $16. Theres now a few thousand vendors taking bitcoins as payment, as well as word press...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    I was running software Raid 5 on linux and it just became more and more frustrating as time went on. I had one situation where a power outage caused the drive raid signature on the drives to become corrupt. I hadn't written down what I had chosen for the drive order+bit size etc, so I had to...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    I should say my issue isn't so much on the plex server, as much as the client. When browsing my movie collection it chugs like mad, television isn't so bad. I have quite a bit more data than that, so it might just not be designed for what I'm throwing at it. It's still useful, just slow.. I...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    Do you find it doesn't handle large collections well? It has a tendency to chug on my system pretty hard.. I can't even open the web interface at all.

    Building a decent size media storage server

    I'm not sure what kind of penalty there is for running it in real time, but I run it in snapshot mode, so at 3am every night calculates parity. If a drive were to fail I'd only lose whatever I had added to the raid since the last parity was calculated. The parity calculation is pretty good for...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    This is my setup, it's been going strong for about five years so far and it's gone through a few different generation of drives without issue. Case: 4U 20 Drive Casehttp://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=48...nologies%20Inc. I just have a random mATX motherboard with a cheap AMD APU for...

    Kroll Show

    This~ He's hands down the best character on the league but his special was garbage. I saw a youtube clip that had his whole cat rant and it was pretty good, but the gf shut the special off after 5 mins, I watched the whole thing and it was just terrible except for the cat rant :/

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    From what I read the it would be have fully replaceable parts, meaning you could change the motherboard/cpu/gpu (It's an AMD APU according to engadget) as well as the drive which means it's more like a form factor. With the Nvidia keynote where they have ironed out their cloud gaming strategy I...

    Desktop Computers

    I would check canadapost.ca, xpresspost to the US for a graphics card shouldn't be more than 20$ and that's 3-4 days shipping. Slower methods would probably be half the cost.

    Difficult programming question

    I have never heard of game programmers making shit money. There are a few game companies in my city and far and beyond most of them offer well above what the average programming gig does. Generally beginners start in the 60-80k range with a senior making 120k+. These are base salaries with a...

    Have you cheated?

    I've never cheated, though I have been in some odd situations where I was probably by all accounts in a relationship with multiple women, but they knew each other and were okay with it. I also had a fetish for taken women in highschool/college but I got into a serious relationship in my mid...

    Fuck lawyers, fuck condos, fuck condo fees and fuck special assessments. Also fuck condo boards. Four assessments in three years totaling $18,300 (5000$ from my previous owner, I've paid another 5k and on the hook for another 8.3k). So one of these assessments happened before I moved in and...

    The Evelys Apology

    If he got fucked by a dude that's really messed up, but it was probably all horse shit :P Anyways I'd be down for Evelys coming back, he has provided tons of hilarity and always had something interesting to add in the political thread. He should face the music for the morenetz shit and I can't...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    We met up talked, and agreed that what would work for her wouldn"t be fair to me, so we called it off. She actually went and talked to a counselor about it and the counselor had a lot of good reasons why we shouldn"t be together. There was apparently a lot of other things going on that she...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    I confronted her Sunday night and she broke down saying that "break" wasn"t really the right word for what she wanted. She just wants space to figure out whats up with herself, I asked her specifically what that meant and what "space" would entail and she just said she didn"t know. I told her...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    Good luck. I wouldn"t be too quick to give away that much of your company especially if you"re not sure of the income it could potentially bring in. You"ve got a great idea, and I"d love to do something similar for the Canadian market. The MLS canada website provides garbage for information and...

    Home buying thread

    It"s definitely 20%. I also checked out my bank and then ended up getting a way better deal through a broker. Bank offered me a 5 year fixed at 4.04%, the broker got 3.79%. My own bank offered a better deal through the broker than through talking to them directly if you want to add insult to injury.

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    "Check out this Kimono I got from Japan.. " If she seems interested and likes it, respond with "Awesome I thought you"d like it, want it?" Offering it up straight as a gift would likely end in awkwardness.
