You know what. I love the idea of this thing and all, but it just reminds me a bit much of a particular homicidal computer for me to give it control over my homes air systems...

From my experiences and those of my friends exercise is not needed to lose weight when you are fat. The simple fact of the matter is that most people simply eat way too damn much. As soon as they cut how much they eat, change what they're eating, or change how they're eating it they will start to lose weight. I…

As I discovered recently if you have the PC version of Borderlands you should set your save games to save directly to Dropbox. When Steam Cloud decided to be a bitch and replace my current save with the one on the cloud I just had to go into Dropbox and download the previous version of the save file which was no…

I actually quite enjoyed it. Sure I think I laughed for the entire second half of the movie, and I was just a bit tipsy and very cold at the time but I still thought it was a good movie. I think it could have been far more interesting as a mini-series though. They could have really taken their time to develop the…

For me when I finally got to see the supercomputers I was going to be working with I was surprised at how small they were compared to what I was envisioning. The Cray XE6 system I work with was the most surprising because it's actually a bit smaller than the older systems there while still being FAR more powerful. I…

I had my first Hardee's burger in years the other day, and have to say that I will most likely never go back for lunch/dinner ever again. The patty was just pretty much exactly the wrong type of patty for me to ever enjoy it.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but there aren't X number of colors that make up the visual spectrum. Last I checked there was simply the blending and transitioning from red to green to blue and back to red. That means that there are an infinite number of colors along that spectrum correct? There is a minute…

As always I have to recommend against the Qosmio laptops. I've had nothing but trouble with mine over the last two years, and simply can not in good conscience let anyone buy one without warning them. My power supply burned out in the first three months, got sent an incorrect part about a month later (not only was…

I just took almost all of my old parts after my last upgrade, and threw them into a new case. It's got plenty of power for a home server, and didn't cost me anything extra aside from the cost of the new case.

Watch yourselves on those OCZ Vertex 2 drives. Whatever you do don't use the sleep and/or hibernate functions on them as they've got a chance of never waking back up. My 160GB version locked up a few months back, and took everything on the drive with it. Luckily I keep all my documents in my dropbox folder on a…

I started using LastPass after the LinkedIn hack, and haven't looked back since. It's awesome to not only have completely random passwords for every single site, but to also have LastPass automatically fill in those passwords for me every single time. I wish I had started using it sooner just for the autofill and…

At home I've got a dual 26" 1920x1200 setup, but at work I've got a quad monitor setup between the two computers I have to use (Windows and Linux boxes) at work. I really need a lot more than that though at work. If I could get another 6 on my Linux box I'd be happy. Eight monitors would allow me to look at…

Well, that's it folks. It's time to call in the Darwinism Squads. He doesn't necessarily have to be removed from the population, but for all our sakes he should probably be removed from the gene pool. I've done multi-day gaming sessions myself (Halo 2 between my freshman and sophmore years of high school... shit),…

TF2 isn't that addictive. I only have 820 hours in it... and 250 on the Xbox version before that.

Don't forget that if you're computer is up against a wall, especially a brick or concrete one, you'll probably be getting a shitty connection because of the signal propagation. Basically the wifi signal is going to hit the wall, and some of it is going to bounce back. That bit that bounces back is going to be picked…

As someone who has a couple of gay friends I can tell you right now that while they may prefer men they can still appreciate some fine boobies! Hell, I know a number of women who are big fans of boobies too! Forget that whole sex sells thing, it's all about the boobies.

But I thought "But can it run Crysis" was the oldest meme there is? Well can it?

We're not all that bad. While I do support women having the right to choose I also realize that I know very little about the way that part of the world and it's people actually work, and quite frankly it's their choice how they handle their own affairs up to the point where they're doing serious harm to others. …

"The truth is while some of these women want to wear what they're wearing, there are others who would like the freedom to choose and won't get it unless they leave their homes and families."

Hm, yep I think that would work. I didn't even realize he had a brother...
