Anyone heard of streamax streaming box?

Does kodi have a bunch of built in streams to access all the content they claim to have? Or is it setup to stream from their server or something? I'm used to using plex to just stream my own media.

Question about realtors - Compensation to Broker percentage

But isn't the text in this agreement saying that I will be paying if they don't agree to give him 7% of the commission (of which will probably be only 3%, meaning I'll have to pay 4% out of pocket) ?

Question about realtors - Compensation to Broker percentage

Looking to buy a first home, have been looking at two different realtors to use. I have asked to see their buyer's agreement/contract. From my understanding, sellers typically pay 6% commision to their realtor, and then the broker gets half of that, and the sellers realtor gets half. 6%...

Anyone been in a car crash where the airbag deploys?

2000 ford focus, rear ended and pushed into car in front... airbags went off, don't remember any noise. Just remember being disoriented and could barely breathe, struggling to get the door open because of the smell and powdery stuff in the air. Burnt my arm some too.

Basically their excuse is you have to register it within 30 days of purchasing, or you get just a 1 year warranty (which is not stated ANYWHERE on the box or anything, I still have the original box and papers that came with it). Even on the newegg site (where I purchased it) it says lifetime...

Does the fact that it is "outdated" give XFX the right to disregard their lifetime warranty? I have plenty of cards (that actually are outdated) geforce2, 3dfx, etc... that still work fine after many more years than the 2 years I've had this card.
