HBO's Game of Thrones season 6 discussion thread- airing 4/24/16 (No book spoilers)

Jon's strategy made no sense. Jon's army HAD to attack, since they are the ones that want Winterfell. All Ramsey had to do was wait. They even had the burning effigies lined up to give his archers range markers for more accuracy. Ramsey had the perfect upper hand in a defensive battle (Higher...

HBO's Game of Thrones season 6 discussion thread- airing 4/24/16 (No book spoilers)

Sansa must have known Vale army was almost there to join the battle, but withheld the information from Jon's army. Ramsey is a very guarded person, so Sansa knew that Ramsey would retreat back to Winterfell at the first sign of Vale army in the field. Instead, she allows Jon to react to Ramsey's...

4 people who earn six figures and still feel broke

Similar thing for me, and I started in 2004. My out of pocket cost for BS and MS combined was $30k (this included living on-campus for 3 semesters). And that was mostly paid with Co-op, part-time, and a full-time job (while I was doing my MS). As far as making six-figures, that really depend...

Thoughts on Affirmative Action??

Why do people still perpetuate the "model minority" Asian myth? I guess it fits in the political narrative of "look at them, they've succeeded by boot-strapping!". This paper goes into a nice brief about why this myth exists and how it actually hurts Asian Americans...

Do you bring your OBD toolkit when shopping for a used car?

I would bring it. I didn't have an OBD2 reader when I bought my WRX and low and behold, I had a CEL on the way home (drove 8 hours to FL, had mechanic inspect it before meeting). Would've caught that if I had checked for readiness when I was inspecting the car.

Thoughts on the 2004-2008 TSX

I had an 06 MT for about a year before selling it for a WRX. It's a great choice for DD, as it's comfortable, has enough power for freeway, and quiet enough. My car had a Hondata reflash and a rear sway bar upgrade on it, that made feel bit more "sportier" than the regular ones I test-drove. Not...

Counter-Strike GO August 21 Release, $15 dollars

That's where you're wrong. It is broken. The gun-play feels much like BF3 and CoD. If I wanted that, I'd just fire up my copy of BF3 and play Metro grindfest. Sure, the hit boxes are slightly better, but they've entirely ruined the unique characteristics of CS guns. You can make recoil more...

Counter-Strike GO August 21 Release, $15 dollars

After playing it for few hours, hate it. I used to play alot of CS:S and 1.6. I still fire up CS:S once in awhile for gun-games and few rounds. Everything feels like it's been designed around console players. Here's the obvious differences. - Buy screen - They've made it worse from CS:S. The...

Small and powerfull desktop solution

Your requirement is a bit contradictory. The smallest case size that sit you would be mAtx. You can use the closed loop water cooling for overclocking need, like the Corsair H60 or Antec Koehler.

Best sniper rifle in Fallout: New Vegas?

I enjoyed using the Ratslayer for low-level sniper rifle. You can pick it up at Broc Flower Cave near Camp Searchlight. It has 5x crit multiplier, so with decent crit rate, 1 out of 4/5 shots are crit hits. It also has silencer, night-vision zoom-scope, and extended mag (8 round instead of 5)...

ZBox for server?

<- I wrote the review that nace linked... It's a nifty unit for non-storage serving needs. Oddly enough the smaller ID61 (one I got) has more connector options (DP, eSATA). If it uses the same HSF unit from ID61, expect to hear bit of noise from the box with default fan setting. I never got the...

Review: Zotac Nanobox ID61-U (ULV Sandybridge minibox)

The noise level can be bothersome. The fans spins up pretty fast once the unit boots. and stays on for quite awhile. The fan profiles can be tuned on the BIOS, so I'll play around with that when I have more time. It's definitely not "quiet". I'd like to check the thermal contact on the HSF unit...

Review: Zotac Nanobox ID61-U (ULV Sandybridge minibox)

The inside is packed pretty tight, so the board itself is about the same width x length as the case. It uses external power brick. The E-350 setup worked fine for 720p/1080i on VLC player, but it struggled a bit on XBMC (slower response, esp while the playing video). It also had some issues...

Review: Zotac Nanobox ID61-U (ULV Sandybridge minibox)

I've recently bought a Zotac Nanobox ID61-U from Newegg to replace an E-350 setup. The main complaints I had with the E-350 setup was the weak CPU not providing enough power for remote desktops and smoother Gchat sessions. It was also not powerful enough to run less-than-optimal HD video...

The skills gap myth: Survey reveals why companies cant find "good people"

Consider your company lucky then. Obviously, this guy has a reason to stick around, either through externality (family, location, friends) or he's ill-informed of his market-rate. These are factors your company can't control, and can easily get this guy looking for "higher-paying" job. Pay him a...
