    Borderlands 2

    I'm running max settings on my specs. Game is very fun, I'm currently level 11. Siren is a neat class. Not sure how to spec her yet however. If you are looking for a more fun class however, I would recommend Zero. Melee is awesome.

    Yeah sorry about not being able to sell to you in time, someone else got to it first.

    What's the easiest way turn turn keyboard keys into "turbo" mode?

    KeyTweak is what you want. http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/ You can make any key on your keyboard to any other key, or create a macro!

    [CNET] Bitcoin virtual heist shuts down bitfloor; $250k stolen.

    At this point, unless you have an FPGA, you are losing money. The difficultly is too high for miners with GPUs or CPUs to make money. When I was living in dorms and electricity was free I was able to mine Bitcoins for no investment. Made a ~$2k USD in a 3 month period when each BTC was $5...

    [CNET] Bitcoin virtual heist shuts down bitfloor; $250k stolen.

    Pfft. GPU's are so 2011. Bitcoin miners use FPGA machines now. When the Butterfly Labs Jalapeno comes out, people will increase the hash rate of the bitcoin network by nearly 100x. Bitcoin is going to CRASH when that happens. At least until the difficulty is upped.

    Apple Working on Retina Display for Macbook Pro

    All about marketing. Xerox created much of what we use today as far as computer interfaces, and you think they only make copiers. Microsoft and Apple are credited with most of these achievements however. Advertising is the only way you can show the public a product, just building it does not...

    uTorrent Goes Freemium: $24.95/Yr Option For Extra Features

    Torrents are as fast as there are people seeding. Problem is, I trust no one. Also, some of us live on university campuses and can't mess with routers, so good luck with port forwarding. The issue with torrents is 0 day stuff. If you want to get something fast, you might be stuck at 99% for...

    uTorrent Goes Freemium: $24.95/Yr Option For Extra Features

    I got tired of slumming it watching everything in low definition. 1080p movies and 720p tv shows? Yes please. Good luck finding those on torrent sites. They do exist, but they won't be the most seeded by a long shot. Also, remember, for 0 day stuff, usenet gets it first. Know all those...

    uTorrent Goes Freemium: $24.95/Yr Option For Extra Features

    I started using Usenet. It saturates any available connection, and you don't have to upload data back. Regarding open source software, a ton of it is distributed via torrent, and for that reason I still have a torrent client installed. Although I am paranoid enough to use it in...

    uTorrent Goes Freemium: $24.95/Yr Option For Extra Features

    But this actually downloads parts of the file in order when streaming, so you can watch as you download, versus with VLC, if you watch an incomplete file, you might hit 20 minutes of nothingness. The streaming has been available in other clients for quite some time, it is nothing new. Also...
