By dropping mandatory once a day checkin and the non-stop connectivity requirement, MS has somehow made the XB1 not a next gen console? Is that what you're trying to say? I'll admit that I was pretty baffled by them dropping the ability to share downloaded games with friends. That actually seemed like a really neat…

Fuck that. Manuals are for suckers. Trial and error mo-fo! : )

Informative comment. Thanks for that. I've never used back button AF. I've only had a DSLR for a couple weeks though, so it's definitely gonna get some use in the near future : )

This. I've taken a few pictures using picture styles, but that was just goofing around. I got some very nice results, but those were more happy accidents than anything. I don't think I've shot more than a dozen photos using picture styles in my entire life. I haven't really come across any picture style that I can't…

What camera do you use?

I've been shooting almost exclusively in manual mode for years. I just got a DSLR couple of weeks ago, but before that I had a "pro-sumer" Canon super-zoom that had pretty much all the options you find on a DSLR. The one thing I found super annoying on my old camera is the flash adjustments. I could adjust my flash…

They are laughing at the news because the news fucked up. Laughing at other people's failures is always fun. However, in the context of a news story, those racist names are not funny. Louis CK can say the word "nigger" on stage during his act and people will laugh, because he's not rattling off racist epithets, but…

It's more of a book at this point anyway : )

Yeah, seriously. That's the kind of error I might forgive a non tech savvy person for making, but a writer on a damn gadget blog? Unacceptable! Whiltson, you really should have known better. Even if you don't know what Professional Studio Monitor Headphones are, you're literally one google search away from finding…

Seriously. The 71 is the baddest looking plane I've ever seen (unfortunately in pictures only). It just looks so fucking mean and badass and unique. I'd love to see whatever replaced that bad boy.

That looks fucking awesome!

I always thought Aurora was another name for the SR-71 Blackbird. Now THAT's a badass looking plane.

Hey, what happens in the Arctic stays in the Arctic. At the bottom of the Arctic, if we're being exact.

And don't get me started on fuel economy.

Gah, I hate that. Some of that stuff is damn near impossible to get rid of. What about the pro version?

This line only works if you follow it up with "wanna fuck"? Tried and true. Granted, the answer is usually "No" but every now and then they call the cops.

I've bought and sold cars through Craigslist, and there are a TON of scammers out there. Ryan is right; that email is probably a scam. Another way you can tell a scammer from a real person is if they provide tons of unnecessary information about themselves, or if they regurgitate your posting word for word in the very…

You sir win the Internet today. The whole damn thing!

Pretend it is anyway. Chicks will think you're magical.
