NPR only. Other than that, all music listening is done through a bluetooth connection and Spotify on my phone. I have access to just about any album I could ever want (other than Tool) and have pre-made playlists that are 40+ hours long. Radio can't come close to touching that, and the "Dingo...
Sorry, what do you mean with that last sentence? You made it sound as if cigarettes grow on plants... Your damn stogie bush is leaving butts in my yard again!
If you want truly pure tobacco without chemicals, give a nice cigar a go.
If I could have the "perfect" vive in the next couple of gens (perfect res/refresh, wireless, better controllers, etc) I'd honestly pay up to $1K for it. But there'd need to be quite a few more good VR games/adaptions out at that point as well.
Another HTPC guy here. I've got the following set up in my living room (yes, I am single...) and don't know if I'll ever go back to headphones:
HTPC: core i7 with a 1080 vid card, BRD, 32gb of ram, 8.5 TB of HD space, etc.
TV: 65" Sony 4K (XBR65X850B)
Receiver: Denon 3313ci
Speakers...
Yup. I suppose it set the table and helped to make 7 look amazing to me by comparison. I'm having a hard time understanding the Vista love here. Vista is second to ME as the worst OS I've ever dealt with. But then again I don't go as deep down the rabbit hole as some folks here so ymmv.
"Zavodnik, a native of Ukraine who moved to the United States in 1987 under a grant of political asylum"
Sounds like a 1 way trip back to the Ukraine is in order....
Just got my first iphone a month back (save the hate for another thread), and the FIRST thing I did was go into settings to change Siri's default voice, as the one on TV all the time drives me nuts. I immediately saw options for American, British or Australian accents, and male or female voices...
My point is that there are already solutions in existence. Muting harassing players. turning off voice chat entirely and using cell phones or TS with friends instead, reporting systems currently in place in games, etc.
It's not that hard to say, "fvck this guy, I'm not going to hear his...
I use this magical feature, available in most multiplayer games, that allows you to mute people you don't want to hear/ are "harassing" you. It's magic I say!!
LOCs are the equivalent of a giant corporate credit card. You can spend and pay off as much as you want, within the limit until it expires. They technically don't ever have to borrow a dime from it.
Well run companies understand that talent comes in all different shapes, sizes, sexes, etc. I work in the world of finance, and my boss happens to be a woman, and also happens to be the best boss I've ever worked for. Our company is truly a meritocracy, where those who provide the most quality...
They have about 6.5B in cash as of their most recent quarter. Leverage, measured as debt to total cap was about 7% for Microsoft, compared to a peer average of about 16%. So they're a good 9 percentage points lower than their peers in regards to leverage. That means they can take on...
True. Though that's what any good investment grade company would do when rates are this low. I honestly don't follow the financial side of the tech market that much, but I can say without a doubt that commercial RE companies have tapped into a record amount of debt offerings over the last few...
You couldn't be more wrong. First off, MSFT's senior unsecured credit rating from both S&P and Moody's is the highest rating possible, at AAA. Junk bonds are classified as having a rating below "investment grade", which starts at BB+ on the S&P ratings scale. Hell, MSFT has a better credit...
Why Chinese Yen? Euros would give you a lower lending rate, but China would not. I think Prime is a full 2%+ higher in China than the US. I guess they are active there, and it would be a good part of their overall hedging efforts.
MS's debt to EBITDA and interest coverage indicate that they...
I can't recall ever seeing.....well anything really.....on the Korean War. That'd be a nice change of pace.
And I can say with 100% certainty that I won't be buying anymore COD rubbish. Nooooo thank you.
You can read alllllll about their executive compensation practices and payouts by clicking on the "investors" link at the bottom of HP's website. You can then search their "SEC Filings" for "proxies", or have a peek here...
A couple crappy pictures of my home work station (I hate my phone camera...) My Denon 3313 is on the bottom left, and my HTPC is on the bottom right. HTPC is an i7, with 32GB of ram, 8TB of caviar black storage space, 500GB SSD for the OS, and a 770GTX video card.
All speakers are Polk...
Sigh.....more wasted e-ink. I work in the world of finance, and our company hires solely on talent. I've seen guys come here who appeared to be bright.....but when the SHTF, they are the ones running for the door b/c they can't handle the workload. My boss is a woman, and is the best person I...
Shitty picture of my work desk. The keyboard, mouse, monitors, headphones and headphone amp are all mine. I refuse to squint at 19", 10 year old monitors for 8-10 hours per day....
Since the slide isn't locked back, I can only assume he dropped his previous mag with a round or 2 left in it, hence one left in the chamber=already cocked?
But agreed on the finger. Anyone who shoots regularly (and safely) moves their finger away by instinct on reloads...
This. No one is safe when I'm playing GTA5, haha. And I hate to break it to the author, but...........It's just a game.........Don't like it? Don't play it.
There's a heck of a lot more to it than that to be honest. One simple example is access to talent. If the best and brightest are in SF proper, and you build an office "just outside of SF" (which could be a 45 minute or more drive each way depending on traffic), how much of that top level...
Accountants don't make $500k.........Audit manangers at PWC make less than $200k a year. If accountants really made $500k, I'd have chosen that over finance. :D
