Happy Birthday Raffy! Toast back tonight!

That's a serious accomplishment, congratulations Brent!

I still use an otterbox commuter, but it can be a little slippery (allowed me to drop test it multiple times). Other than that great.

From the little I understand, you used to use many computers usually with many video cards (better at parallel processes I think) to "mine" bitcoins from intensive hashing of data. It used to be profitable to mine, but now hardware costs plus the cost of electricity for running and cooling in most places make mining unprofitable. They have since tried to move to using Field Programmable Gate Arrays it seems. There are a ton of used up video cards used to mine for sale on eBay. https://www.weusecoins.com/en/mining-guide I saw a plugin on Reddit the other day that I believe was allowing users who had it set up to "tip" people with percents of bitcoins using a command in their comment they both had their accounts connected to their Reddit profile, so its getting faster and looser with the rules. I don't predict it will be a trusted form of currency much longer from all the hacking and viruses targeting bitcoin users combined with its growing attention.

I celebrated it and forgot to tell you, happy birthday Justin.

Happy Birthday!

Google's stock android voice control might be the best thing made currently. I just use google now, I do wish they would use a keyword to activate it so that I didn't have to touch it to make it listen.

Happiest of birthdays Shelly!

Looks like it was an awesome birthday!

I expect I'll arrive between 8 and 9 pm on Friday.

Happy Birthday Kevin!

That is great.

Holy crap. $129 just for a half decent 5V power supply soldered to a USB pin. I'll go make one from a cell phone charger for less than a dollar. I'm going to try this maybe: http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/hps1.html I have an H-PS-1 at home already populated.

Apple TV 2 can be jailbroken and have XBMC installed. http://osxdaily.com/2013/02/24/jailbreak-apple-tv-5-2-install-xbmc/ I haven't used one as a display-less media box, but I imagine the functionality would work well.

I keep getting my hopes up, just a little less each time. OT, I think Shameless is my favorite show (though vulgar) on TV outside of breaking bad currently. Game of Thrones close third.

Rooted/jailbroken apple TV will combine both of those for cheaper. Hey, look, I'm recommending an Apple product.

I have an extra double or at least a sofa free I think in my room you can pass out on Jacob. I wear an XXL.

Booked a double for Friday and Saturday.

S4 is literally benchmarked to be 3 times faster than the S3. I have to seer it and know the boot loader can be unlocked first, but I'm tempted to upgrade. I received a 32gb Nexus 10 to play with from work currently that has me spoiled.

Happy belated birthday Bonnie! Great to see you're on the forum!

Happy birthday Fitz!

I can't believe I missed this. Happy belated birthday Steve! Sorry to hear about your back, stick to being the rider next time.

I can't miss something this close. I'll find a way to drive in the evening of the third.

I use a script (UMS script) and the app gscript to enable universal mass storage. I think I may have posted a link somewhere in this thread.

Happy belated Jeff!
