I don't necessarily think of this in terms of an ethereal soul per se but think about it like a computer. If your physical body is like a computer then the operating system would be your consciousness. You could build an exact copy of the computer and you could put a copy of the OS on the new one but it wouldn't be…

Thunderbolt was actually developed by Intel and will be seeing much higher adoption rates when 4K monitors become the standard.

New flash chips are leaps and bounds better than old flash memory, which is essentially where the burn out legend started. Anymore, new flash storage lasts a lot longer and it's not unreasonable under moderate to heavy usage that the stick could last 10 years or longer.

Just curious, what issues are you having with Plex? I have had some intermittent issues as well (mostly streaming to a 360) and I ended up having to supplement Plex with Serviio to get it to stream properly to the 360.

Most modern SSD drives come with a SATA III backplane interface while most flash drives are USB. One difference between the two interfaces is that USB 3.0 is 5 Gbps while SATA III is 6 Gbps (SATA II is 3 Gbps).

My dad and I have been thinking about getting into LeMons. We just went to the race in Joliet a few weeks ago to do some recon and observe. It was a blast!

Like many others here, the way that I use my PC isn't really conducive to benefiting from the awesomeness of Rainmeter, but I end up seeing the Windows lock screen all the time since I lock my computer anytime I get up from it at work.

A while back I experimented with Rainmeter and while there are tons of amazing features in it and you can bring so much more functionality to your desktop, I'm one of the users that just doesn't utilize it.

I've used BTGuard and Private Internet Access, but I'm beginning to question if any of this is worth it...

I take it you have the Ultra 50 plan? I too have it and it's glorious. I don't think there's very many people (if any) on my node because I typically get speeds up to 56/6. At work we have a Mediacom business class 105/10Mbps plan and I'm far too spoiled by both my work and home speeds to go lower again.

Mediacom used to be that awful around this area, but in the past two years I think they've put effort in making some things better. I used to have the same problems as you, but anymore I've had them give me :30 minute windows to which they've always been on time and I've even had them send techs on Sunday.

I've been using the nightly builds of this for my Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710) and it *was* doing alright, except I have an issue with the phone mic cutting out. I haven't been able to accurately recreate the issue with 100% accuracy, but it seems to happen when I lay the phone on my shoulder away from…

My internet provider (Mediacom) is notorious for having the typical tier one support techs manning the phone and all they do is use a proprietary computer program that dictates troubleshooting steps which they then repeat to you. 99% of the time it's pointless to call them and start spouting off signal frequency…

You beat me to it!!!

Thank you for this. Thank you.

Well this isn't something I'm using, but I was a bit surprised to see at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago over the weekend that they had a few machines still running Windows XP. I could only tell because on one of their displays the typical "Send Report" crash window was popped up and hence I could see the…

I'd like to consider myself a somewhat experienced user of DD-WRT having done my first flash about 6 years ago, and having done many more since, but with my latest router (Linksys e4200), I was having all sorts of issues after I flashed it. I won't get into specifics, but I wanted to restore back to stock. I was…
