    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 can’t 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...

    The skills gap myth: Survey reveals why companies can’t find "good people"

    Except they're not "identical". There's no such thing as "identical" goods in a real world market. THere's always a variation of price/utility on goods and services, however minute. The whole concept of "identical goods" is ridiculous outside of academic world. Overall, I think this is just...

    This is good advice. TSX has the "premium" look and still cheap enough for the budget. You can grab Honda parts to fix it up to avoid going to Acura dealers.

    Cheating in Battlefield BC2/BF3

    It doesn't help that BF3's hit detection is client side and it's wildly off at times. I've had many instances where some guy will run across my view and I somehow "kill them" even though my aim was obviously off. Plus, their corpse are 15-20ft away from where I stopped firing.... It's almost...

    **OFFICIAL** AT Battlefield 3 FAQ and News Thread

    Not sure about SCAR's issues. I can't kill anything worth a damn with it in hardcore mode. I also don't get why they're messing with Jets and Stingers... I think they're fine. I think they should give unlocks for Stinger/RPGs/SMAW/Javelin too, just to make it worth using besides completing...

    I got this the last time around. Just a note. There's a particular issue with this PSU that might affect anyone who's planning to use this for lower-power consumption rigs. The PSU will not power on correctly with low power-draw. I paired this with a Gigabyte E-350 combo and I had to add at...

    Drove a Volt

    I got to drive the Volt today. Pretty disappointed. The first impression was that, whoever designed the interior needs to be fired. Why are there 40+ buttons in the center console? There's absolutely no need for that many button regardless of how many electronic toy you have in the car...

    Ask your late brother's wife if the check has cleared the estate. Better yet, ask who's the executor(or lawyer) for his estate and ask that question to that person directly. That person should be able to tell you the tax situation.

    Congrats on the subie. I got my bugeye 02 few months ago, and it's soaking up my time and money (along with heat LOL). I've only done the Cobb Stage 2 package for power on mine + GR-2/Epic Spring combo for suspension for now. I bought the gold BBS wheels locally instead of going the Rota route...

    Acura TSX

    2008 is the last model year before the beak. I had a 06 TSX for about 7 month, before I gave into my WRX lust. I still miss my TSX everyday. It's a great car for commute, and still "fun" for the weekend. The power is good enough for everyday driving, but it sure isn't alot for the weight it has...

    Anyone else waiting for Homefront?

    The game is terrible, mediocre at best. It tries very hard to copy the play and feel of CoD, down to the T on the weapons. The single-player is ridiculously short. I thought things were picking up and moving along at the Bridge levels, and then it abruptly ended... The event scripting was...

Probably enough for...

    Do you have a beater car & a weekend car?

Besides the 87 vs 93 octane and 35 vs 20(at best) mpg differences, the WRX is just way too stiff for commute. Fixing that over this winter with new suspension setup, but gas cost and...

    There some danger to giving out a VIN number?

    Anyone who doesn't give out VIN to potential buyer is either.. 1) There's something wrong with the car and it'll show up on Carfax, hence reluctance to give out. 2) Clueless idiot who doesn't know anything about selling car. I'd avoid either of those. But #2 might be a nice gamble.

    I still can't believe that. I got my CS at Tech, and got offered 60k at my current job (in ATL). People I know were offered at least 50k all along East coast.... I guess I lucked out when I swapped from Comp Eng to CS, thinking it was too specialized & saturated.

    The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

    I suspect that the game's weapon data files have both asset(graphics/sound...) and properties together. Shame they're too lazy to write a file updater to just only update the few small text changes in the properties. It'd be like 50MB patch instead of 900MB monstrosity.
