@RojoLoco Sad thing is, that will probably not run much for games......Many of the newer generation games require at least an i5/AMD FX-8000 line processor and a big beefy gpu to go with it.
**Still an awesome thing to win!
Good thing they sell it as a gaming console, then... it's utterly useless in its factory config. I almost smashed it w a hammer first day, then I remembered it has a shit drive in it.

@RojoLoco Definitely worth trying out if you have the hardware to support it. I found out that it makes my GPU overheat. I had to take the cover off the side of my case this weekend because I was seeing the temps creep up near 85c. After the cover off it stayed below 82c. I think I need to take a look at my case fan placement...
I won one of the Alienware Alpha consoles (cheap one, i3 and 5400 rpm spinner). Next paycheck will probably get an SSD and more RAM, I hope it will rock out after the upgrade.

I bought Dying Light last weekend and it has been a TON of fun playing. I typically suck at 1st person games but this one has been easy to adapt to. Plus, slashing zombies with a machete is awesome! I have a few other games I bounce between too. Cities: Skyline, Atlantica Online, Diablo3, and Minecraft.
I won Dyling Light w the "play as a zombie" add on from SW... one day, I might get around to playing anything (damn home ownership).
So much use of apostrophes to pluralize... I want to punch the OP. I'm resisting tearing him a new one on the thread.

In a thread about getting more women interested in IT, and a bit after I flagged it for moderation, I cannot believe that this Pimiento with only one post gets to keep this one on a thread. Still there, hour or two later, as I post this!
I think I can see why it hasn't been deleted/moderately moderated.
However I still think that it is definitely not contributing to the topic. It seems more like flame-bait.I flagged a similar comment from someone else last week and that got toasted.
If it had mentioned something political, especially about anyone named "Bush", it would get removed immediately... just like mine do. Seriously, one of the mods has a total hard-on to delete anti-right wing comments, happens every time.

South Korea to control history textbooks used in schools
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-34504142The US is more insidious about it, but all governments do this to some degree or another.
It's waaaay worse in the South, always has been. Churches still control or have great influence over literally everything here.

Thanks Giving turkey with family, providing I can keep this cold at bay
Have some pepperoni and some smokes, you'll be fine.
Now that I looked closer, I can't download anything either... not even pdf or word files.

My wife's milk (she is a Dairy Inspector get your heads out of the gutter) won best milk at the NYS fair.
You mean her cow's milk won a prize? 
That's pretty cool though... congrats.
Don't they trade things known as 'securities'? Ironical.

Considering the new issues being brought forth by the use of Chip based CCs, I think moving to a standard pay for wait staff and reducing tipping to $0-2 like in Europe would be good.
$0-$2 is not standard in any part of Europe that I know.
It's not? hmm.. That's what we were told by the locals. Both in the UK and Germany.
Kind of like how all Americans say 15% but the real standard is 18%-20%?
So basically.. I don't tip enough.
I lean towards 25%, but I'm a big tipper. It's a hard life waiting tables. So I tend to do a very rough 25% for normal restaurants.
At places where I'm a regular, I tip more. And places where the wait staff does more than just wait tables even more. Like at my bar in Texas the tips are more like 50%.
If you can't afford to tip AT LEAST 20%, you can't afford to eat out. Besides, being a good tipper and a regular gets you the top level service, plus free shit. The place I'm going after work routinely discounts my tab by a lot. One day the bartender handed me my check, I laughed and said "really?" A full meal plus 3 or 4 beers was $11... should have been 30+.
Listening to 2 people talk loudly to each other via speakerphone... less than 20 feet away from each other... I can hear both people acoustically, and I can hear both speakerphones, all over the music in my headphones. Stereophonic stupidity.
