If you're cutting cable but still want DVR functionality I think you'll have a better bet with building an HTPC and run your own DVR on it. You can build a decent one for about 500 dollars and you'd be free of Tivo charges.

Re: overclocking my hackintosh

No, the referrals are for the deal itself only (and you need to have bought the deal). I'm talking specifically about the share with 3 friends deal, not the website referral system where you just get a percentage or whatever of deals bought. That's nice too but I'm looking for a way to just get me one of those nice…

Trying to decide what deal to test this on (since I have to buy something first before I can refer people to it). Would you get something cheap? The cheapest thing regardless of whether you need it? Or if you're spending 50 bucks on ads would you go for something bigger, like one of the trips? (also who knows if…

Every week or so I bicycle past the line of costumed people trying to get onto the show in Hollywood. And a good friend of ours brought another friend of ours to a taping, and that other friend actually won a Costa Rican trip, so they both went on the trip a few months ago.

re: livingsocial referrals.

I think you're getting hung up on her being labeled a pilot. I get it, the writer is trying to entice by (very minor) hyperbole, but all he's really saying is that she is capable of competently piloting a fighter, enough that she can go on missions as such. Scratch that, she's the leader of guerilla freedom fighters;…

Except many stores have reverted back to cashiers because it actually ended up being more trouble than it was worth.

It's better than nothing (and obviously it would just continue to complicate the matter to the point where it's probably not worth it at all but reimbursement money could also be put into a trust or escrow ahead of time to guarantee that money exists)

No, they meant the second mother (the one that isn't biological). Something like "in the event biological father is required to pay child support in reference to state or federal law, non-biological parent is required to reimburse all necessary expenses in advance of required payment date."

I wonder if one could make a more airtight contract that said "in the event biological father is required to pay child support in reference to state or federal law, non-biological parent is required to reimburse all necessary expenses in advance of required payment date."

I think motion blur works well if the game is moving, say, above 40fps, anything lower and looks too choppy (and having the motion blur on is probably a big culprit). I really like motion blur but only if it doesn't dip the game's FPS down below 40, which ruins the point.

If prices are always coming down then it makes as much sense to buy now as it is to buy later. If he buys something now and then checks prices in January he'd be disappointed; If he waits to buy til January and checks prices in February he'd be disappointed (in fact he might be more disappointed because he just lost…

Eh, as much as I think it would be cool to see the movie WE (the fans) envision Tarantino coming up with, I really don't think that's something he's interested in making. For one he's not a big fan of VFX at all (though hopefully that means he'd do good miniature work) but I think he works better when he's tweaking an…

You're right they shoulda fired him during Rosh Hoshanna

Damn someone beat me to it.

He's selling these? How are these just straight up not copyright infringement?

I pretty immediately freelanced as soon as I graduated college so it's something I've known more than employed work. I really just kinda made it up as I went along and googled what I didn't know. It's been 7 years and going stronger than ever (including still not incorporating. This coming year might be the year…

Question regarding restoring Time Machine backup that has an older version of OSX? Fiancee had a hard drive failure recently on holiday and when she comes home will restore from a Time Machine backup.

Oops I sent a reply to emrichar but wasn't sure if you'd see it. See my reply to him for a reply to you.
