    I recently started watching TNG

    All excellent episodes. You have a few of my faves there. Some more: Q Who Tin Man already posted but Best Of Both Worlds 1 & 2 is the greatest ever Qpid Relics The Pegasus many more excellent episodes as well, too many to list. And I've got nothing against Dr. Pulaski, there...

    I recently started watching TNG

    I have been on a TNG kick lately as well. I always thought that I have seen every single episode but there are a select few that I have either never seen or that I have only seen maybe half of the episode. For the OP, yes, season 1 and season 2 can get really corny. I was watching "Time...

    Westboro Baptist coming to my town

    zinfamous beat me to it. The church is in some aspects, a scam. I think they do believe what they preach but all the family members are licensed attorneys except for Fred himself who was disbarred. They make their income off of suing people who attack/harass them at their "protests". This...

    Biggest Disappointment games of all time...

    Showing my age a bit here, and I'm surprised nobody mentioned it yet, but I'd say Pac-Man for Atari 2600. My buddy got it for Christmas, I didn't have a 2600, instead I had an Intellivision. So he calls me on Christmas day to come play it, I go running up the street to his house all...

    2012 Superbowl Predictions

    Saying this as a huge beloved patriot fan, you won't be seeing them in the Superbowl this year. They've showed poise in the pre-season games but it doesn't mean as much as people think it does. They don't have a lot of depth and injuries are really going to be an issue this season. I think they'll come...

    Do federal employees have it good?

    Worked there for 5 years, I actually kind of miss being able to walk to all those resturaunts for lunch. Crystal Mall 3 represent!

    Do federal employees have it good?

    Good money for Southern MD but then you have to put up with all the SMIBs. Also unless you like living in a really rural place you won't like that area. About all they have is Wal-Mart and "cut-rate" liqour stores by the side of the road. And lots of very obnoxious rednecks (the SMIBs). As...

    Do federal employees have it good?

    It's about average. There was an article I read in the Post that said to get by around here you need to make about $75000 a year, that was 6 years ago. $87000 is enough to have a decent condo and a Honda around here. Absolutely the truth and it's even more than that in nice neighborhoods...

    Do federal employees have it good?

    As others have pointed out, only a tiny handful of people would make $367k a year as government employees. Probably less than 5 people. Most of the people who work with government around here are contractors that work for big defense contractors like Lockheed Martin or Raytheon. Some of the...

    Grand Theft Auto 4

    Just hail a taxi if you don't want to mess with driving/flying all over the place. Reading this thread got me back into playing Ballad of Gay Tony. It really is a gorgeous looking game engine even if it does get bogged down into some low frame rates from time to time. I'm running it on an...

    q9450 worth upgrading to Sandy Bridge?

    I finally put everything together this weekend. Pretty sad how much free time I have these days because I have had all the parts sitting on my desk since May. So far so good. Got Windows 7 up and running, so now I'm restoring my data to the new installation. I got the OCZ Vertex 3. I have...

    Grand Theft Auto 4

    I never had any huge complaints with the way that it ran on my system, although I had a quad core CPU to start with and it seems to run a lot better on quads. Not saying it was the fastest frame rate ever, but fast enough to be playable. Yes the port has flaws but I've seen it for sale on...

    think there might be some Android users stealing my Internet

    I got it! False alarm!! It's the set top boxes from my two TV sets. The set top boxes are manufactured by, you guessed it, Motorola. They're connected to my network via a coax connection so don't show up on ethernet or wireless. I unplugged one from the wall and bang that IP address went dead...

    think there might be some Android users stealing my Internet

    thanks for all the helpful advice everyone. So, I went to WPA2 on my router, and went to MAC address filtering on my wireless access point, and I still see these two IP addresses that claim to be "Motorola Mobility Inc." using the iNet app on my phone. What's odd is I don't see them listed as...

    think there might be some Android users stealing my Internet

    I had like a 20 character password but apparently with WEP it doesn't really matter. Just saw a Youtube vid of an android app that can crack into WEP passwords in about 5 seconds.

    think there might be some Android users stealing my Internet

    I am assuming theres some android app out there that can crack WEP passwords quickly. Also there's a lot of teenagers and kids in my neighborhood. My guess is someone is hiding their internet use from Mommy & Daddy.

    think there might be some Android users stealing my Internet

    So my fiancee was having problems connecting to the network on her laptop, in the course if diagnosing her problems I do a scan to see who's connected to it. Ran a NET VIEW command, I can see my PC, my laptop, and her laptop. Fine, that's what's supposed to be there. Out of curiosity I...

    When did the internet become publicly available?

    I was on CompuServe back in the day, and GEnie as well. Usenet was the 1990's for me, if you really want to go back how about FIDOnet? And I too had the chewing out from the parents for the long distance bills from calling BBS's 50 miles away. Of course the problem was we lived 50 miles out...

    Fukushima upgraded to Cat 7 TEPCO: Radiation leak may have topped Chernobyl release

    The Chernobyl cloud did not reach that far. You've got, what, 3000 miles between the main islands of Hawaii and Japan? The Chernobyl cloud petered out after about 900 miles.

    Fukushima upgraded to Cat 7 TEPCO: Radiation leak may have topped Chernobyl release

    While there's no doubt this is a very serious incident, unless you live in Japan there's really no need to worry about radiation coming from the plant.

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    The guy who plays Spike is in a few video games as well. I think he was the drill sergeant in Call Of Duty 3. More irony: the brother of a good friend of mine is a voice actor and plays a character called "Raoul Contesta" on the Pokemon cartoon.

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I watched the first episode of Legend Of The Galactic Heroes last night. Seems to be definitely up my alley: character story arcs, political intrigue, military action. No ninja girls in bikinis with screechy voices flying across the screen. It does...

    q9450 worth upgrading to Sandy Bridge?

    Zalman sells a clip support kit for the 1155 that will fit the CNPS9700 so I'm good there. Just noticed that the board I have listed in this thread is a micro-ATX model. That will not do - the CNPS9700 would not clear the 5870 video card on that board. Looks like the P8P67 PRO (no -M) would work...

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    Never said I *hated* them, I just find them formulaic and boring. Mostly because there are so, so many bad ones about Japanese high school kids. But, FLCL was about high school kids (mostly) and I did like that one. That said, this is turning into a really cool thread! Thanks for the...

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    I'm a big boy, I can handle the violence and nudity. Fiancee does not like anime - or even sci-fi for that matter. She reads trashy romance books and watches 2 and a Half Men.. lol.. we are pretty different in some ways. I suppose opposites attract.

    You're not kidding there. One could almost say that having anime grow from a very underground scene to the huge thing that it is today is almost a bad thing.

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    I watched some of Trigun, thought it was pretty cool but it didn't pull me in. Like I said I've seen the aforementioned Bebop and FLCL, on Adult Swim, but I don't stay up that late anymore. stuff I really liked that I didn't mention: Wings Of Honneamise The Animatrix pretty much...

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    Ahh yes, I recall back in the pre-Internet days when hentai was only a rumored whisper. If only we knew then that pretty much all of it was crap. lol Alas, hedonism is not the subject here.

    So I'm getting old and bored with... anime

    Which is sort of odd because I used to love watching anime shows and movies. So, I'll let everyone know that I turned 40 about 5 months ago. Which would make me a Gen Xer and a guy who went through his teenage years in the 1980's. When I was in high school we did have anime shows like Voltron...

    q9450 worth upgrading to Sandy Bridge?

    Well, I was in MicroCenter yesterday, and they had the 2600K on sale for $275. I'm guessing that when the motherboards come back in stock they'll sell out of the 2700K at that price. So I grabbed one - knowing I'll have to wait for a month or two. I have a Zalman CNPS heatsink now, hopefully...

    The Future of Computing

    The desktop PC is already "dead". The only people buying/building them are enthusiasts or gamers such as ourselves. On the corporate side, it's all going to small formfactor/all in one setups. The rest of the masses are all going mobile, and for now that means inexpensive laptops. It *might*...

    q9450 worth upgrading to Sandy Bridge?

    I guess the recall of many Sandy Bridge motherboards has answered the question for me. Not worth it for now, that's for sure! Maybe in May or June when the Z68 chipset comes out. I do game quite a bit, lately I've been simming on MS Flight Simulator X, where CPU speed is paramount. I've been...

    Has a game intruded in real life on occasion for you?

    Back in the early 1990's, I was at a cookout at my mothers house, the day after playing X-Com all night. The sun was going down and I looked at a shadowy bunch of bushes in her yard and thought: "better not go in there. There's probably a Sectoid hiding in those bushes. "
