-40% on the Steam sale today if anyone is interested

It's mostly no-name stuff that is obsolete now. Only use would be to fix something very outdated. Sorry man.
-
The second episode came out about a week ago. I thought it was way better than the first. Less dumb, more interesting, more choices and dilemmas, and a few genuinely funny parts. A lot darker also. This is way more entertaining and enthralling than the TV series.
-
If you find a range post here where it is. I've been interested in this as well.

Your flux capacitor is overfluxing and undercapacitating. Joking aside, why would someone replace the same part 4 times. By the 2nd and surely the 3rd time I would take that as a sign to switch to a different device.

You guys realize it is gearing? It's geared for fuel economy. A shorter 6th ratio could get it to reach top speed quicker but cruising (65-75mph) RPM would be too high. They did this because unless you're seriously tracking it you wouldn't be likely to attempt to wind out 6th gear.

That video looks, to me, at best on par with a PS3/360. I doubt it could handle larger environments than just tunnels and corridors as well as the real consoles also. The other big reason I think it won't compare is that it is based on open source architecture. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo hardware are all proprietary, but that also makes them well dedicated and integrated for specific computing tasks. A dedicated system is always more powerful than an open, modular system when running the same task. (Consequently that is also what makes the development kit difficult to work with.)

Meh. All the games will be comparable to smartphone games now, just on a bigger screen. The hardware isn't anywhere near powerful enough to compete with the real consoles in terms graphics, sound, and it also won't have multiplayer support systems in place. The next generation consoles will completely blow it out of the water as well. The only dent Xbox, Playstation will feel will be in the stupid little games on the DLC services. (stupid as in simple) The open concept is great however. Hope it leads to a lot of innovation. Just don't expect this to dethrone the big names, or act as a replacement.

That is crazyness. Possibility of future industrial incidents spewing chemicals and combustibles make me consider owning gas masks.

^ I was thinking that as well. If it was raining hard enough for this thing to make a difference, then you couldn't see well enough to drive anyway. It's also dangerous for the lack of traction and likelihood of hydroplaning. The concept is flawed in another way. It doesn't provide anymore light than the regular headlight, it just keeps the "wasted" light from being reflected back. If anything, less light would be hitting the road in front of you than if you used a normal headlight.

For credit cards and other credit solicitations: https://www.optoutprescreen.com/?rf=t http://opt-out.cdt.org/online/ I don't think either of those work if you already have business with them however. So you might have to just call Chase.

I've gained 20 lbs since starting. BRB, getting more bacon. Also I stopped exercising so I can verify the full benefits of the superior dietary selection.

My thinking: As a kid you didn't ride to be riding. Most of the time you went to your friend's house, to the park, etc. Not many miles were ridden on it and comfortableness and smoothness of the ride wasn't a consideration. Children weigh less and don't put as much wear on the bikes. The frames are structurally similar thickness to adult bikes, so they're proportionally much stronger by carrying less weight. To make an adult bike with that same proportional strength as a child's it would either be very heavy or very expensive. This goes for components as well. Used bikes may have been neglected in maintenance. The cheaper they are the more likely they were not maintained well, generally speaking. Expect rough shifting and gritty pedaling, etc. That's why I ended up hating my $50 Mongoose so much.

Interesting. Disgusting, but interesting.

If your intention is to ride it everyday, then be wary of those craiglist specials. If you only plan to ride it every once in a while then they should work out okay but make sure you check it over carefully. I bought a $50 craiglist special a few years ago. I wanted to ride it for fitness, 3-5 times a week. That thing was such an uncomfortable piece of crap though that I rode it for 2 weeks and then never touched it. It was too much work and money to get it riding well so my bicycle riding aspirations faded away. The point is that those cheap bikes are likely going to need a lot in maintenance and repairs, and therefore usually aren't such a "great deal". If you're going to ride it frequently I'd suggest you increase your budget to $200-400 range. If you're serious about riding, $400+ at the minimum.

The lighting is so bad. Holy shit there are even worse in the link. These are truly terrible. (not that I could do much better, but come on) -
I've been blacklisted for abusing this knowledge in the past. Confirmed by a friend's GF that worked at Domino's. Anyway thanks for the Papa John's code. I don't usually get Papa John's because it is a little more expensive and not that favored, but using this I'll get some soon. Edit: Tried the new chicken parmesean. It is quite tasty.

The guy was a complete asshole for giving you a warning to slow down? What would legally giving you a ticket for speeding have made him?
-
I've supported this argument. I hate conspiracy theories, but I firmly believe F&F had this goal from the very start.

Entire statewide jurisdiction. The "highway patrol" is just a name. The division a is state-level police force.

Makes me think if a "had it coming" clause could be made by law. Similar to "battered wife syndrome", it could be used to nullify any criminal charges if a jury agreed that it applied. Would have to be restricted to so-called crimes of passion, so that it couldn't be used for retribution later.

Yes I found a few programs that will work. Appreciate the reply :thumbup: I really miss the DOS days at times...

TreeSize Professional seems to do what you wanted. Be wary of installing toolbars if you use that download.

I'm looking for a program to do mass-renaming of files. Also I'd like to make a list of the file names in a folder/disk into a text file or spreadsheet. I use to do this with DOS commands all the time back in the day but that won't work readily in Win7. My quick searching didn't come up with any programs. Hoping someone else knows of a solution? Thanks.
