    I can't speak for this item, but I know that I made planter boxes and saved money on them. I am also using them, so they aren't wasting space.

    They say you can turn it off, but I don't think you can completely if they ever tried to remotely do something. I don't have an answer, but hearing about prisim doesn't make me feel any better. MS was listed for that.

    GoG is the best worst thing for me. I spent way to much, and now I have a backloggery of way to much. But I could never afford those games as a kid, and I'm loving QfG IV right now.

    You can read all of this for yourself, there are a ton of details here, but still some questions. If I'm sharing a game with a family member, can we play against each other online? Imagine being able to buy one copy of the latest Halo, and family members get to play co-op or competitive games against you from their own systems. Pretty nifty. This is something that made me think. We would have to buy two consoles, but could me and my fiance really play games together again?

    I think this is an interesting point. How many 360 games let you play locally? I am having a hard time finding ones I want to play that do. Most require two 360's it seems. So I don't think that matters much.

    I guest picked up QfG IV recently. I never finished it. And found out there is a V, so am looking forward to it.

    I would add, I never thought about it, but I got better a SC2 after watching pros, and hearing the build order mentioned. I found out I had jumped pas my friends, and I didn't realize it. Watching reply's like the pros do does help.

  11. Re:I was born in the wrong era... on Managing an Elite eSport Team · · Score: 1

    I am not good at SC2. I played some ladder and after a short time felt mentally exhausted. And to keep up the must look at mini map, must look at where my screen is, must look at my production tab, must give inputs, there is a lot going on. I guess were arguing physically, but I have to say it is interesting to me. I am sure there are a lot out there, but watch HDstarcraft on YouTube. He casts games, as any game caster would. I don't know the world top now, but if you watch real good zerg players it is crazy.

    The zerg move as a swarm you would see in real life, and you have to realize this is going on while the play managers new units, mining, expansions, and a lot of time multiple battles.

    I honestly think that the weights are market on different on packaging to make it hard to compare prices. Than they get you the unit price so you can compare, oh wait this name brand compares pounds, the store brand in ounces. Android unit compare for the win. Oh an alcohol is in liters. But than we call it a 5th, and half gallon? but it is really 755 ML I think? But we have pints, oh and yes the one "shoters".

    But again, I think most of this is on purpose to confuse the consumer so they just buy something without realizing a comparison. And to this in, as it appears corporations run America, it won't change.

    I think this is the biggest agreeable argument. To be consistent. I think someone pointed out though, so will not want it just for this reason.

    I want to point out I cook. I'm not a 5 star chef, but People seem to like what I make. I use any and all types of measuring for any and all types of things.

    I would guess 9th Feb 2012, so that it sorted the year correctly on my computer. Of course the months would all be out of order, but that is better than having it sort by the day first.

    People will still be oblivious. It is all ready obvious to you. This just makes it more oblivious. People are all ready oblivious. This just makes it more oblivious. For most people lets make it simple. The speedometer can ready A,B,C,D,etc. A = 15 MPH, B = 25 MPH, C = 30 MPH. Than all the driver has to do is match the letters! They wouldn't know any more or less than they all ready do.
