What proof/% alcohol is safe to leave in the freezer?

Hey guys,

I just brought home some normal coconut rum. 21% by volume. I'm thinking about storing hit in the freezer. Bad idea?

My turn: It's 2014 and UPS doesn't have an app that allows you to GPS-locate the truck with your package on it. There's an app, but it doesn't track the trucks. If you have a tracking number you should be able to track the physical location of the package. You still have to wait for it to arrive at...

Yeah I should qualify that the only major networks I get are ABC, CBS, and FOX (no NBC :( ) ABC and FOX come in fine, but CBS is unstable. Good looking signal, but just don't walk in front...

Small enough to sit next to a PS4 and not seem ungainly or over-huge. Maybe something the size of an original Xbox and no larger. 2. Just Steam OS games ...

Quick question: A buddy I work with just got a corsair water cooler for his AMD FX-4350 and the temps being reported at Idle are close to or at 0.0°C :o Um, isn't that supposed to be physically impossible with a water cooler?

Re: I want to build a PS4

I'm digging the enthusiasm. But this is really a lost cause bro. No standard PC architecture is going to resemble the PS4 enough to be worth your time at all. You won't be targeting the correct APIs, the entire pipeline is dramatically different, your hardware access is going to vary greatly, etc e...

Re: I want to build a PS4

What if I want to get started BEFORE I apply for a dev kit? See that system in your sig? That would be the cheapest place to start... You would just end up porting from PC to console (backwards compared to most other devs.) A build consisting of an AMD APU would get you closer to the PS4 as far as ...

Re: I want to build a PS4

How are you going to write a program for the PS4 without their APIs and a unit to test it on? I was going to build something in C#, perhaps using either Unity or Visual Studio Express 2012 (don't laugh), and then worry about porting after I get roughly halfway through after I get a PS4 dev license.
