Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever!


Got Omega Ruby for myself and Alpha Sapphire for my boyfriend as an early Christmas present. It's a thank you to him for getting me a lovely merino running shirt on his staff discount, so I got him this on mine.

I love tuna fish and field mouse pudding.
My little cousin is a bio chemistry major and I don't know poo poo about chemistry. So I got her this banana shirt with a potassium joke for Christmas.


At least I know green is her favorite color.

And I got myself this tunic that I will wear as a dress because I'm short

Was it a good price? And from where?

I have the same problem, as I bought an 80gb and 120gb SSD back when they were still $200+ for the 80gb, my C drive is constantly running out of space.
Got it from Amazon for 219 USD, seemed to be a good price and really the shipping was the most convenient as I don't have time to go to computer stores given my short time in the states. I'll pay a few dollars for convenience and honestly Amazon is good 90% of the time.

90%? I can count exactly one time in the years I've used them, where they did not get something to me on time and had it delivered to who knows where, and sent out a replacement with next day delivery to make up for it. Every other time has been spot on or even early.

Sorry, I meant price wise in that for various items I have found it lower in others stores/websites on occasion. That said in terms of delivery I've never had an issue and the convenience of just clicking and having it show up a few days later is worth whatever few extra dollars I might pay from time to time to get whatever it is I'm buying.

It's worth pointing out you can also set your phone to disable your pin/password when it's connected to this. That alone makes it worth it to a lot of people (and is the main reason I'm considering one).

You need 4.3 I believe. I had to check and it's definitely not lollipop only.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
The ability to use almost any bluetooth device or NFC tag to auto-unlock your device is called "Smart Lock" and is built into Lollipop. It may require third-party software from Motorola on earlier versions, I don't know.

I think all/most of the current Moto lineup can do it on KitKat, but for most phones it won't until/if they get Lollipop. Meant to mention that in my original post.

Unless you have a 2014 Moto X or Droid Turbo it looks like you need Lollipop for that feature. I have been looking for any evidence of general KitKat support and can't find it.

If you own a Moto X (2nd gen.), Droid Turbo or a phone running Android 5.0, Lollipop, you can use your trusted device settings to enable the added ability to keep your phone unlocked when your keys are nearby. This way you don’t have to enter your password to use it. Just enable trusted devices by going into settings and then security.

The Verge article suggested the trusted devices thing doesn't work on iOS either.

16 days ago someone posted that here and I made fun of the fan stickers trying to hypnotize me, but since hearing about the low fan noise I was actually very interested in this card and started reading reviews. I see a lot of complaints about coil whine and others saying they were concerned about it but weren't experiencing it on their cards. After you receive it would you mind posting your experience with it? Same applies to App13 if you're still following the thread.

Yeah so I installed this yesterday and played all day today and it's great. Unfortunately, my case fans are loud as poo poo (new case is the next upgrade for me, this seemed more important) so it doesn't really change the volume of my system, but I can tell you that the fans haven't even spun up all the way yet. They may have last night when I maxed out Wolfenstein: The New Order but I forgot to check. Today I was playing Borderlands 2 and Arkham Origins and the fans only got to like 30%. I play at 1080 though but this card is beefy as poo poo and I would definitely recommend it. Also, the MSI Twin Frozr version is supposed to be really good too and the issues with the fan sticker causing problems has been solved. Final note: It's big as poo poo and barely fits in my Antec 300 (like I said, new case is next priority). I guess cards like this is why new cases have removeable HDD cages.

Bought this from the PSN store as it was on offer. Just wanted something to play, wasn't keen on the protagonist when it first came out so I avoided it. It's actually a really great and fun game and I'm so pleased I picked it up. For such an early title the graphics and lighting effects are incredible.

I've seen a few men's shoes with that kind of heel lately. One of the shops around here carries a rather nice looking brown brogue with the sole in that shape in bright pink or blue. Kind of wrecks a perfectly good shoe.
