I don't likeWalkingDeadattempting to trick me into stopping my fast-forward during commercial breaks. Last night towards the end of the episode it looked like it had resumed, but they were re-showing the initial infiltration of the compound again. It went on long enough that I actually thought...

I sold so many CD-ROMs when they first came to market just because of Myst. That was pretty much the first best-selling PC game that was ONLY available on CD. Looking back on it, I can't believe people basically paid $300-$400 just to play that game(single-speed CDROM + Myst)

I'd like to give it to his mom...

I worked at Software Etc(Babbage's and Software Etc merged and formed Gamestop in the early 2000s) back in the late 90s when all the 3D cards first started coming out. When the Voodoo2 launched, there was an 8MB version and a 12MB version. The 12MB version was in VERY short supply around our...

Yeah my first 386 was an SX, rather than a DX, so it had no math coprocessor. Live and learn. The first gen of 486s had the same damn thing, SX and DX models depending on the math coprocessor. Nothing like the days of having a CPU, math coprocessor, 2 different sound cards (my roland did...

Don't you have to stamp the concrete while it's still somewhat wet/unset? I didn't think that was something you could do to a finished, hardened concrete slab

The first PC I had with a turbo button was my 386 circa 1990 or so, made it go from 16mhz to 25mhz. Then the first PC I ever built was a 486 66 and the turbo button downclocked it to 33mhz for the sake of playing older games.

If you're building a PC now, or soon, buy this 850W SeaSonic X-850 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply $85

You don't use android phones do you? I always buy my phones online and the second i log into my Google account on the new phone it downloads all of my contacts perfectly. My last 4-5 phones have done that with no issues at all.

So I've been working out for a few months and eating healthier overall, have shed some pounds and decided to have an all-out cheat day today since I hadn't really splurged in a long time. Went to BK, got a Bacon & Cheese Whopper, Jalapeno Chicken fries, and a Mint Oreo shake. Everything was...

I still remember begging my parents to get me 256k of expansion memory for my Tandy computer as a kid in the mid 80s. Shit was like $300, but i needed to upgrade my pc from 256k of RAM to 512k in order to pay the newest Kings Quest game(cant remember if it was 3 or 4). Stupid Radio Shack.

God I hate Surge so much My freshman year in college(1996), Surge set up a bunch of tents around campus and was handing out free 20oz bottles of Surge to the students as they walked to class. Tried it once, it was horrid, never picked up another bottle of it. A few months later the stuff...

I'm wondering if my Shadow Chamber is bugged. I first built it and there were 2 things to research. Both were available, I could have chosen either item, the green button was available on both. I researched 1 and now when I go back to my Shadow Chamber the other item is greyed out and it...

And according to a 6 year study by Google of millions of drives, enterprise/SLC drives are no more reliable than MLC drives SLC, MLC or TLC NAND for Solid State Drives ? :: SG FAQ

I wonder what the price on something like that would realistically be? $30k? $50k?

Anyone else think this game possibly has an anti save-scumming code built in? I'm a filthy casual and just playing on the normal default difficulty and I was in the middle of a mission and attempting to take control of a robot, I had a 50% chance to succeed but failing would basically get one...

I'm in KC but have a ton of friends and relatives in StL I can run a question by if you're wondering about something specifically.

I always used Godaddy.com back in the day when I had to host my EQ/WOW guild website + chat server. Godaddy was always great, with amazing customer service. An actual person(that spoke english) called me/emailed me every few days at the start of the process asking if I needed any assistance...

Goddamn the quasi-timer is pissing me off. Currently have a mission to protect a data upload center or whatever, and the mobs are doing enough damage to it per turn that it gets destroyed in 4 turns. Takes me 2 turns just to get in range to even SEE the enemies and start attacking. The only...

Sub placement does not matter whatsoever, it's not directional sound at all. Just put it somewhere where it won't touch something that will rattle or vibrate and annoy you. I just have mine stuck back in a corner under an end table to the side of my couch. I don't like looking at them.

Lol Time Warner is such a crock of shit I posted here a while back that I was purchasing a Cable Modem for my mother since TW started charging $10 a month for their modem rental fee. I ordered a nice Motorola/Arris modem that is certified up to 160mbps, since my mother only had 50mbps...

$270 for a 970 + the new Tom Clancy game PNY GeForce GTX 970 4GB Rev 2 - $270 AR w/ Tom Clancy's The Division - Slickdeals.net Good deal, if you don't want the game you can probably sell off the CD key for $30 or something.

I have friends that do the "I'll just leave all the sides off of my case for the best airflow!" routine, and I can't convince them for the life of me how that is a terrible idea(assuming you have any case fans at all)

Most people don't upgrade their CPU/mobo every 2 years anymore. The video card, sure, but not CPU. Most people keep their CPUs 5+ years. Even still, much more often than not the stock cooler would probably be fine for 5 years, but a hotter CPU has an effect on every component inside your...

If you have a Microcenter near you, snag that CPU and get a motherboard there too and you get like $40-$50 off of the combo of the two. Best deal going, nowhere online will come close to that deal I'd slap together something like this: PCPartPicker part list/Price breakdown by merchant...

to stay around $1k, you're basically going to want to go Intel i5 processor(probably not a brand new 6000-series, something more like an i5 4690k), probably something like an Nvidia 970 video card, a 256GB SSD(add another 1-2TB HD now for storage if it fits in the budget, if not then add it...

And only about half of them not shared. Dumb that the conference refuses to use tie breakers to actually name a champion.

I had a slow leak for about 6 months from my garbage disposal/sink and it drove me nuts, couldn't figure out where it was coming from at all. Finally after a while it started leaking 10x more water to the point I would need a bucket underneath, so I got in there and looked around with a...

I like how Nevada, South Dakota, and Vermont randomly hate Alabama. WTF?

The cell phone belt clip is the pocket protector of this century

Panera is for soccer moms, not hipsters. Hipsters wouldn't be caught dead in a chain restaurant.

Hmm, I'll have to try those. There are plenty of decent to good oreo flavors, but nothing I'd ever prefer over the original. I'll have to put cinnamon bun to the test, I haven't had those.

It's a fact that original nacho cheese doritos are still the best dorito just like original oreos are still the best oreo. You can't beat the classics

What is a steam shower? Does that turn your shower into a quasi-sauna? If so, I can't imagine most bathrooms(drywall, paint, etc) would do too well with that much steam/humidity regularly.

If you have a Lowe's or Home Depot near you, you might check on their price of the wiring by the foot. Both stores have huge spools of electrical wire in varying gauges that you can just roll off and cut yourself and pay by the foot. Might be cheaper to go that way than buying pre-packaged...

There is a Cheddars in Liberty now, but it's very new, I think it just opened in the last 6 months. You might be thinking of O'Charleys, similar type chain and they had those awesome hot buttered yeast rolls they'd bring out to your table. I think they all closed down in the last couple years...

The sauce is crazy good, and I don't really even care for raspberries much. I always have to ask for additional sauce

Cheddars is surprisingly good for what it is. It's basically just a chain in the same vein of Chilis or Applebees or TGI Fridays, but their food is above average and they're REALLY cheap. That massive Monte Cristo sandwich above is like $8 with fries Their Onion rings are really good as...

Do you have the restaurant chain Cheddars anywhere near you? They do a badass Monte Cristo. Their version is deep fried, not just fried(some places use normal bread and just grill it like a reuben or something), and the crust/batter is something similar to funnel cake, with all the awesome...

I'm almost 40 years old and I still fucking LOVE peanut butter One of my top 10 favorite lunches is just PB&J on white/wonder bread. I just don't eat it much anymore because it's absolutely horrible for you. But there isn't much better than a PB&J on super fresh wonder bread, some nacho...
