    So, what does everyone want to find on sale this year?

    Infinite Crisis

    There's another thread from 2013 that had no replies, and nothing else showed up on search. Anybody playing this? I'm interested in teaming up with some people, and getting better at playing the game. PM me if you're interested in doing so.

    Project fi announced, Google MVNO for $30/month 1 GB

    The reason why I don't like a plan that charges based on "data used" (and refunds a pro-rate amount on data not used) is that suddenly every data transaction needs to be examined and weighed based on cost/benefit. Do I want to skype with my family tonight while on travel? How long? Is it...

    Looking for a phone replacement

    Wow, thank you all for the recommendations. I hadn't even looked at the Alcatel or Sony options. I also figured with all the hype/advertising for the Nokia 1020 about it's camera, that it would be a clear winner in that department, but it's good to hear some feedback on it. T-Mobile has the...

    Looking for a phone replacement

    My wife's Galaxy S3 has some weird dots showing on all pictures it takes, plus the battery life isn't what it used to be. We have T-Mobile, so no contract renewal period, etc. I'm trying to find a decent replacement for her without spending a lot of money. She's iffy on the LG G2 because...

    300$ for Electrician to setup Network

    I should note that I figured the electrician just didn't want to deal with the low voltage stuff, and quoted me high on purpose.

    300$ for Electrician to setup Network

    I had an electrician come out to give me a bid to run 12 Ethernet lines (6 distributed locations to 1 central location), a single electrical outlet, and some media cables pulled through from where we were mounting our flat screen TV on the wall while he was at it (since Ethernet lines were going...

    Washington DC LED bulbs - Cree 75W 2700k bulbs $3.98 @ HD

    I'm in Northern Nevada, and the website shows them @ $12.97 /each.

    Axiom - 12GB (3x4gb) DDR3 ECC SDRAM Memory Module $33.78 @ Best Buy

    Which ruins it for me. Lenovo Thinkserver doesn't take RDIMMs

    Note 4 (now $200 rebate with any $10+ trade-in!)

    I'm loving the upgrade from my GS3 to the Note 4. I'm readjusting to Touchwiz after being on a rooted stock ROM with the Apex launcher previously. It is still taking some getting used to the recent apps button versus holding down the main button. With the Spigen case on the phone, the S-pen...

    Sprint to shutter its WIMAX servers November 2015

    The comparisons I see of Sprint's 4G LTE to the other carriers makes me wonder if their LTE is worth it.

    Note 4 (now $200 rebate with any $10+ trade-in!)

    Disappointingly, the Best Buy offer is for AT&T, Sprint or Verizon only (I assume with contract).

    Wireless Rear Speakers?

    Looking to expand my home theater setup to go to 5.1 surround sound. I don't want to run wires for the rear speakers right now, so I'm interested in what wireless rear speakers are out there that are any good. I'm having a hard time finding anything decent. Any recommendations from the group?

    Marvel releases Guardians of the Galaxy Android game, no IAPs, no data connection

    It's not free to play, though. I'm not sure what you mean by "going against the trend," since there are several publishers that still sell you a game/app up front.

    Looking at getting an Odyssey EX-L

    We did the van shopping thing a few years ago. Neither the wife nor I cared for how the Odyssey drove, but we're both used to how a Toyota drives than a Honda. That was the deciding factor between the 8-passenger Sienna vs. the 8-passenger Odyssey. Nothing else could touch it in quality after...

    Kids tablet with content

    If you go the Kindle Fire route, you can get Kindle Freetime Unlimited. It's not too expensive, and even better if you're already a Prime subscriber. It includes all sorts of paid apps and books specifically for kids, and also restricts ads and in-app purchasing. There are Disney apps, Sesame...

    thoughts on my car options? (updated! purchased car)

    You may also want to consider a certified pre-owned Audi A4 or A3 with quattro? I picked up my '04 A4 with about 45k miles for about $16k in 2008. I've not had any major problems with it. I don't know if this breaks your "low on target list for thieves" requirement or not, though. I was...

    Why we still being charged "smartphone access" $40?

    That breakdown makes more sense.

    Why we still being charged "smartphone access" $40?

    This statement doesn't make any sense to me. Which is it? Does each phone have 1GB+ data per month, or do you have truly unlimited LTE?

    2-story Home Network Setup Questions

    I'm about to set forth in wiring my 2-story house for Ethernet. I have an attic and a crawlspace available, which I expect will make the wiring within a floor fairly straightforward. Rather than wire the entire house to a single switch, I was considering running cabling on each floor to their...

    2000 Amazon coins ($20) for $7

    I think he meant the GTA:SA game itself. The amazon appstore won't let you install it on anything other than Kindle devices.

    2000 Amazon coins ($20) for $7

    You may want to hold off and see if Amazon runs another "free 100 coins" with purchase promotion on multiple free apps of the day. They did this earlier this week for 9 apps, making it possible to get 900 free coins. Then just buy GTA: SA for 699 of those coins and get another 2000 for a...

    Anything to look out for in a 1999 BMW Z3?

    I've owned a '98 Z3M since August of last year. I've not had any significant issues other than discovering the inside rim of a rear wheel was bent, and caused a tire to fail. The Style 40 17x9 wheels aren't a cheap replacement. Luckily, the Z3 has the 17x7.5s in the front and back (the //M...

    Woke up to Black Screen - What to try with Video card before calling in for warranty?

    Yes, I normally have 3 monitors hooked up to this video card, and they were all black. I just swapped a cable from one of those connectors to the built-in DVI connector to the motherboard.

    Woke up to Black Screen - What to try with Video card before calling in for warranty?

    I woke up this morning and sat down at my computer, with no response. I knew it was running because my G510 keyboard had active information on the display. I tried a reboot, no luck. I hooked up the motherboard DVI output, and booted it up to see that Windows does not report the video card...

    Price of Medication here why?

    Follow the money. The government instead is forcing every citizen to pay money to an insurance company, which will then moderately decrease your cost for those medications, but allow the drug companies to adjust prices as necessary. Rather than tackle the real problem of overpriced health...

    I think I just came up with a pretty good idea for a Star Wars based game

    You missed your chance. That game was made, it was called Star Wars: Galaxies.

    Finally I understand the basics of energy in metabolism

    While the type 1 diabetic's immune system doesn't kill the glucagon producing alpha cells, without their beta cell counter-parts, the glucagon production is severely hampered (as you allude to). Everything I've read (and experienced) points to a lack of appreciable production. This is why...

    Finally I understand the basics of energy in metabolism

    Good, now let's talk about what's different in a Type 1 Diabetic's metabolic cycle with the inability of the body to produce insulin and glucagon on its own.
