I look forward to hearing about you in her next hit song.

Definitely. It's a small price difference, but the 3570 and 3570k are identical except that the "k" has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. If you're squeezed on budget you really don't need the aftermarket cooler either. The stock heat sink will do just fine at stock clock speeds. The only reason to get an…

Looks like a good build. If it were me, I'd drop the second graphics card, since it's overkill for pretty much anything currently out. Use the money you save there to bump up to a larger SSD. It's generally a good idea to have free space on your SSD, and 120GB will fill up surprisingly fast if you plan on loading…

Most hipsters might not, but gangsters, mobsters, the NYPD, and the many federal agencies with gigantic offices in NYC do (I would imagine many of the latter two have guns for personal use on top of those they're given for their job). Aside from that, hipsters are a minority of the NYC population, not the majority. …

The population of Montana is about 1 million, and the population of NYC is about 8 million. That means you need an 8:1 guns per person advantage just to beat NYC.

Don't bother cutting, just break it open across your knee ("handle" side up).

Or you could just learn to turn of your lights when you get to your destination. It isn't rocket science.

You need a cable card tuner for your HTPC. Something like the Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner. Then you just get a cable card from Comcast (from what I hear, it can be a hassle with them, but they have to provide them) and you should be set.

You need an acid of some kind. Vinegar (mixed with water) is your best bet. If I'm remembering my basic chem correctly, cold vinegar will work better. There are some commercial options out there, my guess is most of the generic cleaners (Lime-Away, CLR) are a bit on the strong side, but I think there are also some…

There are also plenty of people who have built our own computers, and most of us would be more than happy to spend a few afternoons "geeking out" with someone who was putting together their first build. I remember sending my brother lists of parts for my first build to be sure I hadn't picked things that wouldn't go…

From what I've found, the more you learn about something the more you realize you don't know as much as you thought you did, and the more questions you have. I think this quote sums it up well:

There are some very nice looking cases designed specifically for HTPCs, I'd recommend looking around a bit on newegg/amazon. I wouldn't think an SSD is worth it unless you really want it to be quiet and you have a pretty big budget. The speed increase isn't going to be that big a deal for normal HTPC use, and you'd…

And here I thought the trick to getting crowd control for a party was spamming "lf1m need cc."

Of course, if you're to the point of being physically incapable of continuing it's a different story, but just stopping because you assume you've tried long enough will get you in trouble. As a side note, I don't know that med students and residents are that great of an example considering the grueling schedules they…

To be fair, I don't think many actors would be up for having realistic CPR performed on them.

Yes and no. They're "stopping" but the idea behind stopping the heart is to reset it so to speak. As for the muscle spasm- yes it does happen, it's just made much more dramatic in movies.

The good Samaritan laws prevent you from getting sued if you screw up, not if you stop. If you begin helping someone and then leave/give up before more qualified personnel arrive, it's considered abandonment and good Samaritan laws will not help. Bottom line- if you start CPR do NOT stop unless someone more…
