By the time a current card no longer runs games well, there's a new single GPU card that is about as fast as the older card in SLI just without any of the limitations and most likely supports a newer version of DirectX, has more VRAM and runs cooler/more quietly.

If you're going to EQ (personally I would do that only to correct issues in the room you're in and that can usually be done on modern receivers instead of computer software) remember to do it at the volume you usually use to listen. We hear things differently at louder and quiter volumes so that bass boost you set at…

VDSL2 30/10 Mbps. Fiber to the building, VDSL2 from there to apartments.

I haven't really noticed any image quality degradation when using PS3 Media Server/Universal Media Server. I've even tried comparing with just playing the same HD file on PC but it looked the same to me on the PS3 as well. I'd guess any degradation depends on the initial quality and especially the settings on PS3…

Agreed. Right now I'm a subscriber to Netflix and Spotify. Both offer streaming on the devices I want at a very reasonable price and good quality. While Netflix still has the issue of the US version having a lot more content thanks to the (4) mentioned by czol, I feel it still a service worth paying for.

Exactly. There's still shit like different pricing for different countries even when things like VAT are excluded. Adobe is a prime example, their downloads are more expensive for Europeans (again, excluding VAT) than US folks.

In reality the main difference between the receivers here are user interface and number of inputs/outputs. Soundwise I don't think they make much of a difference meaning that they are all at a good level.

StrokeIt has to be one of my favorites. While many browsers and programs have their own extensions for mouse gestures, Stroke It does that all as a system-wide tool and in my experience much better than any browser extension.

What most likely will happen is that drivers will just crash into something as they try to figure out what Christmas lights are doing on your back.

I was also a Opera user back when it was in versions 6-9 I think. Then I moved to Chrome and Firefox because they were simply more user friendly. Opera still has fucked up downloading, archaic control panels and lots of poorly executed additional features (RSS reader, mail client).

Chrome for regular use, Firefox for development simply because I prefer Firebug to Chrome/Webkit developer tools.

Agreed. I'd rather spend a few hours setting up all the programs so I know they're clean rather than hauling around all the crap that was in the machine before.

The problem is that many people don't seem to be aware that you can get your suit tailored.

The width of the lapel should be in proportion with your head size and body type. A narrow lapel is generally only suited for people who are very skinny whereas they would look ridiculous on someone who has a wider body.

I'm guessing nobody sells a discrete GPU for that.

It takes some time to work out your real sizing. Most people wear too big suits. Since few of us are the equivalent of the ideal size they use to make off the rack suits, most of us should take every suit to a tailor to get the best fit. The only thing that must fit from the start is the shoulders, most everything…

Those cheap shoes may be comfortable, may even last a good time. However, I can't think of any cheap shoe that looks great too. You really have to go over $200 to get properly good looking ones and even more if you want high quality stuff too.

Nope, it just means you're wearing ugly shoes. Square toes or too pointy shoes always look like crap. There's lots of range in between where shoes look the most elegant.

Just thought to point out that those on Windows can enable smooth scrolling for the mouse in chrome://flags . Unfortunately it's still not available on OSX.

NCSettings for easy toggling of flashlight, WLAN, Bluetooth etc from the notification bar. Nitrous to make all apps have the same 2x faster Javascript engine Safari uses. The ability to change which programs are opened by default.
