    This is the wrong attitude. You have to take some initiative. Your life is not a gender reversed Disney movie where some cute, funny girl who's your soulmate is going to come knocking on your door because she's out searching for you. If you don't force yourself to interact with the opposite...

    Well, that depends on your career field and whether you're an outgoing person. There are many fields where there are lots of women. However, I don't think Sed's planning to be a nurse or a elementary school teacher.

    You're in college. You don't need a dating website. Step away from the Linux box and go interact with the opposite sex in a social context. You're likely to never have greener pastures than college.

    I think that's true depending on the 3D glasses technology used. The image will also definitely dimmer which impacts the perceived saturation of the colors.

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    Aside from the really small wireless keyboards I was testing with my HTPC I've never seen a keyboard that didn't have sufficient n-key rollover for anything I've been doing, which requires 4. CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+ another key.

    So I got to go through this again. Citi automatically updated the address on my Costco Visa to my ex-wife's address for the 2nd time. This time I got a bit further in finding out the why than I did the first time. Unfortunately, I ended in the 8th circle of hell. Citi blames USPS for...

    Nope, no way to tell which version you have other than putting it in lockout and waiting about a week to see if it's dead or not.

    LED flashlights

    Looks okay in the 4500-4000k High CRI config, but the first ones have a problem with high current draw in lockout. There are fixed ones filtering out to sellers now, but I'm not sure how you can ensure you get the fixed one. I guess ask the seller and hope they're honest.

    The IGP is the same between the two. The i5 has turbo boost up to 2.8gHz whereas the i3 is limited to 2.3gHz. The i5 can also bump its TDP to 25W from 15W whereas the i3 can't. No idea if the Thinkpad 13 can utilize that capability though.

    So is the Lenovo Thinkpad 13 a decent relatively low cost Skylake system? The base silver config looks to be under $500 with the current promotion. You get an i3-6100U, 256GB SSD, 4GB of RAM, and a 1920x1080 IPS screen. Add a 2nd 4GB DDR4 SODIMM from the Egg or eBay and it should be a...

    question Differences between Sanyo's AA eneloops and Panasonic's AA eneloops?

    In order to fully change NiMH batteries they're going to get warm. There are some chargers that will thermally throttle the charging current at the end so they don't get as warm by monitoring the battery temperature, but that makes it harder to detect the -dV peak.

    iPhone syndrome

    I'm struggling with their math myself. "While the 256GB model took two minutes and 34 seconds to complete the 4.2GB file transfer, the 32GB iPhone 7 needed a total of three minutes and 40 seconds for the same transmission." Not exactly 8x slower. Not even 2x slower. :bstd:

    AFAIK, they basically act as your Realtor so they get 3% from the seller which they then give you half of.
