I wish I was down that way. It would be great to try it out first hand. EDIT: Ooooor, rather why not meet up at the BBQ? I'm not in need of it now. I can wait. We could do listening party. Goes great with the beer! It would help pick out headphones, too! The cans I have now are easy to drive. BUT, ...
I think I've settled on the Jotunheim Multibit. I thought it over and if it has every feature I'd ever realistically want then it might be the last one I buy, or at least for a looooong while. So while spendy it may be a better value in that I only buy one. I'm late to the party but I'm in a unique...
So while I've quit cold turkey for the last four months I have thousands of hours of GW2 playtime under my belt. A few things to keep in mind: 1. Unless your GPU is a potato, GW2 is going to be CPU-bound. 2. GW2 has no multi-threading to speak of, so single thread performance is basically a direct d...
much; that's why he upgraded so quickly. I'd tested his new one out before or I wouldn't have jumped on it. I'd also shot his old one and you're right about the trigger; it sucked. Reset was way far forward, pull sucked, gritty, etc. It's why I hadn't bought one. It's weird that they messed that up...
There are a variety of necked-down cartridges based on .308: You mentioned the .243, there's also .260 Remington and 7mm-08. Unless you're hunting something that can't be definitively brought down by a .243 I would probably just stick with that caliber, as you'll probably have a much easier time fin...
I have Infinity as well as all of the Skylanders games, as my daughter and I enjoy playing video games together. Since everyone tends to assume that Infinity is "Disney's Skylanders rip-off" I'll comment on both. The concept of the Skylanders games doesn't change much from game to game, bu...
How do you manage to not have it print in jeans or slack pockets? I tried with a friends Taurus 7 something (little 380) and you could see EXACTLY what it was in my slacks, and it wasn't exactly a subtle bulge in the jeans either. My cargo shorts it was fine in, but other than that... Pocket carry ...
There are definitely some good rifles on the list linked above. As keltor mentioned, I tend to lean towards a .30-30 for a woods/brush deer gun; something like a Marlin 336 handles well in the woods and the caliber has taken plenty of deer. A 170 grain flatpoint is hardly high-tech but it will do th...
That might have been true once, but the difference in reliability between a quality revolver and a quality semi-auto pistol approaches zero these days. I still prefer a revolver vs. a semi-auto as a trail/hunting/survival gun for simplicity's sake, but it really is just down to a matter of taste an...
2300 fps out of a revolver? I'd say that one is well past the edge of insanity. It's actually not as bad as I expected. The compensator helps a lot and the gun weighs 4.5 pounds which obviously helps as well. Worse than the recoil is the sound level: The first time I shot it was outdoors and I fire...
I recently acquired a 460XVR with an 8 3/8" compensated barrel and it's on the edge of insanity even with the comp and the sheer weight of the gun. I know that 460 > 454 Casull but I still wouldn't want to shoot 454 Casull out of such a (relatively) light gun. On top of that I really question h...
I just purchased a model 1911 .45 replica and I noticed .45 ammo seems to be semi rare in my area. Anyone have any recommendations on bulk ammo places online?
But the resolution is limited to only 1080. If one is interested in IPS panel, then he can get 1440 resolution with 27' IPS monitor. I concur, and to completely illustrate what that means it's important to quote both the horizontal and vertical resolution and compute the number of pixels: 1920 x 10...
no51, I assume you're shooting 9mm? You didn't say but between the 124gr and the pictures of the rounds I'm not sure what else it could be. I started with Berry's as well but you should look into Precision Delta or Montana Gold bullets also. They're FMJ so they don't have the velocity limitations of...
I used the following method successfully on my current install. I suggest trying it first because it's considerably less involved than moving drive connections around inside your machine: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975453 The instructions describe a slightly different issue (apparently the inst...
They are called (fittingly enough) Cicada Killers. They're solitary wasps that paralyze cicadas, fly them back to their underground nests and lay eggs on them. You can imagine what happens to the cicada after the egg hatches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_cicada_killer They put on a brave fac...
Receive Side Scaling helps in situations where enough data is flowing through a NIC that a single CPU core is unable to deal with the task of getting the data off the NIC. You have to be pushing some pretty serious amounts of data in order for this to happen, typically near the limit of a 1Gb NIC or...
I don't have any experience with this ammo, but I found a couple of interesting facts online. One, the manufacturer's web site gives a list of compatible handguns, but the qualifying factor isn't the build quality of the gun but the fact that compatible handguns "have the cylinder length to han...
Been lurking in and enjoying this thread for a while now, figured I'd weigh in on the reloading thing. I picked up a Hornady Lock 'n' Load AP late last year and have been having a lot of fun with it. It's my first reloading press, and though it's a progressive I found it relatively easy to set up. T...
Echoes is easily one of my favorite games of all time. It's a game that demands an unusual amount of... devotion isn't the right word, but I'll use it anyway. Basically, the game world is so huge that if you put the game down for a week and try to come back to it you'll probably be completely lost. ...
What happened to adventure games? CRAP LIKE MYST. A string of unexciting over-clever derivatives soured the memory of the genre, so that most any developer now is far too scared of following Myst's boom-then-slow-death business model. Actually, OMM figured out what happened to adventure games: http...
Wow, I feel stupid now. I could have SWORN that I tried that key combo without success before moving onto all sorts of exotic modifier key combinations. Lo and behold I tried it again and it worked like a charm. Clearly I need more sleep. Thanks for the help.
I recently acquired a Mac Mini and I've been enjoying playing with it. I have a KVM hooked up so I can use a single keyboard and mouse, and I'm using a Windows keyboard. Sometimes I use the remote desktop client to connect to a Windows machine, and one thing I noticed is that certain keys (F9 for ex...
Just finished the game off for the first time on medium, rescuing all little sisters, and all I can say is wow. I was a huge SS2 fan, and read all sorts of pre-release press on Bioshock, which for a lot of games is a good way to find yourself let down by the final product. But this game blew me away...
He says the Xeons alone are turning in 1167 points every 24 hours.
Actually, I said the Xeons alone are turning in 1167 points every TEN hours. It's a little crazy watching the SMP client tick off percentage points every six minutes, but I'm coping.
