For interest's sake, I decided to load up HD Tune and see what the oldest-running drive I have is, and it turns out to be Seagate's 1TB Barracuda, running for a total of 32574 hours (~3.7 years). What have you guys got?

Just keeping y'all abreast of how the Japanese are doing things: http://en.rocketnews24.com/2012/08/27/japanese-charity-breast-squeeze/

This is kind of interesting. Researchers have found that when you drink beer out of a curved glass, chances are you'll end up drinking more because of the illusion it creates (that you aren't drinking as much as you actually are). As such, you end up not pacing yourself like you would with a...

... coming from a woman who inherited her wealth: http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-richest-woman-20120830,0,3323996.story There's a lot of truth to what she says, but she comes off as crazy ignorant.

I think he's referring specifically to ME3. He sure has been burned by it methinks :D

I agree, it's a pity that WoW will last longer than a game like this...

Oh man *slaps head* :D For a guy that claims to not care much for MMOs, you sure do play a lot of them :P Hmm, I guess it's fine if you want the up-front fee, but I'm with you in it not being super-compelling. And I couldn't agree more about the DLC being worth it anyway, if it's...

It's a sad day for the MMO world; NCsoft has announced the closure of Paragon Studios, effective immediately. Responsible for City of Heroes and all of its related expansions, Paragon was responsible for being the first to deliver a super hero MMO, and one that many consider to be unmatched by...

Apple + Steal = Appeal

With mass storage being available at reasonable prices, the desire to build home servers, NAS boxes and so forth has never been stronger. Some might choose the pre-built NAS route, but for those pro-DIY, Fractal Design has its Array R2. Interested in a mini-ITX chassis that can support up to 6...

You've accused me before of posting things that make Apple look bad and... this case makes Apple look bad. There's just no pleasing you.

BioWare's latest Mass Effect 3 DLC, Leviathan, plunges Commander Sheppard into a new story of intrigue and perilous danger. The first flushed-out DLC since the augmented ending, will this DLC deliver a story to bring further closer to the ending or will it tear apart the fragile balance between...

LOL! I do agree though; easier to warm up than cool down.

With the billion-dollar judgment day at hand, Brett finally pulls his editorial pen out in an examination of juries, educated decisions, and a rebuke of patent law's current direction and its chilling effect on future innovation. Read through Brett's look at what's wrong with our patent...

As I sit here, watching the thunder and lightning outside, I can't help but yearn for a peripheral that would allow me to work outside in that glorious mess. But what's this? A waterproof keyboard from Logitech? Gasp! Time to find the rainboots! Read the rest of our post and then discuss...

True, but when you're a performance hound, capabilities also matter. Especially in a RAID 5 configuration, which typically isn't nearly as fast as JBOD, any extra speed is going to be appreciated. It's very difficult for any drive to compete against one with 1TB platters.

You're treading down a dangerous path ;-) Though, most winters have been mild lately, so I hope it keeps up.

Nice man! And yes, take full advantage of the nice weather that's left. How has the fog down your way been anyway? I know you're awful close to the water so in my mind each day is probably a 50% chance of fog, haha (though the windstream could easily make it a 0% chance). Haha!

Your second point ties into what I mentioned in the post about there being different development teams for DLC. In the developer's eyes, the DLC is an entirely separate project, and though it's included on the disc, it's just because it's the common-sense thing to do. The problem of course, is...
