    Giveaway: WinX DVD Ripper Platinum

    I got in on this last year. I've actually used it a few times. Similar to MakeMKV but more full featured, like ImgBurn. I like it.

    Monster 16 oz Energy Drink 2/$3.00 at Rite Aid

    The caffeine isn't really the problem.

    Monster 16 oz Energy Drink 2/$3.00 at Rite Aid

    I can't really see a situation where drinking Monster at work due to stress would ever be in moderation. Even one a day isn't moderate given the sugar content in a single can of the regular Monster.

    Monster 16 oz Energy Drink 2/$3.00 at Rite Aid

    Indeed. Let's counteract the stress-induced heart attack with sugar-induced diabetes from an "energy drink".

    Interstellar (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD) $13

    I won't argue science with someone with the handle "sfsuphysics", but I enjoyed the movie enough to buy Kip's book on it. Isn't that at least half of what makes a good scifi movie?

    Interstellar (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD) $13

    It definitely took a very conceptual turn at that point, but still pulled from science. That scene is identical to Randall Munroe's explanation of the fourth dimension here: http://www.wired.com/2014/11/xkcd-guide-to-dimensions

    Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10" (REFURB) - $179

    Great deal regardless compared to what that same money will get you with Android/iOS tablets.

    If Your IT Budget Allowed, Would You Think Provision Everything

    Thanks for the insight. I'm not at that level with virtualization yet, but I hope to be.

    If Your IT Budget Allowed, Would You Think Provision Everything

    Do you guys have one comprehensive monitoring tool that you use to look at the guests, hosts, and SANs for scenarios like this, or a bunch of different tools?

    If Your IT Budget Allowed, Would You Think Provision Everything

    "Thin on thin" is thin provisioned virtual disks on a thin provisioned LUN?

    VPN Unlimited 100 years for $39

    I tried at least five different services and settled on AirVPN. Not the cheapest, but support is pretty good and their product/features/speeds were the best by far.

    Very YMMV, Possibly Very Hot Plasma Open Box Clearances At Best buy/Sears

    I can vouch for the fact that my Best Buy has a corner in the basement where they keep all their used and open-box stuff and there is still a lot of great deals mixed in with a bunch of total crap.

    Today Only! Western Digital Blue 1TB HDD $45 free ship

    The Blues are the only drives I personally wouldn't take a chance on after replacing a handful of failed drives.

    Thanks OP, picked up CCNA & MCSE courses.

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Headphones for $129 @Amazon. More deals also!

    Identifying 320kpbs MP3 versus lossless isn't as easy as it sounds (pun intended). Tidal has arranged a good MP3/lossless test here: http://test.tidalhifi.com/

    I had the same exact thought. I already have a handful of other survival horror games to get through.

    HOT?: Parallels 10 Mac + Bundle $39.99

    Is Parallels actually included with this bundle? Doesn't look like it.

    3 Years of VPN - $19

    I looked at this and many other options including PIA and TorGuard before settling on AirVPN because of their speeds, port forwarding, and tech support. They're not the cheapest and I don't know if they have mobile apps, but they do everything I need.

    HP Stream 7 Windows 8.1 7" - $90 with coupon code...

    In reality, I don't think Windows 10 will be a big enough update for me to even notice, let alone change the way I use Windows. I have a touch-screen Windows 8.1 laptop; I installed Classic Start so I rarely see the 'Modern' start screen, and the only time I use the touch-screen is when I...

    3 Years of VPN - $19

    Yes there is a good reason, using it for it's intended purpose as a client VPN for proxy plus encryption.

    3 Years of VPN - $19

    Consumer VPN products like this use an application on the client to create the VPN tunnel, so there's no router config. Simpler setup, but not all of your network traffic is encrypted. Some of these services have instructions for router config, but your options with a consumer router are...

    Andrew Jones Designed Pioneer Speakers On Sale

    I've owned the bookshelfs for six months or so. I tried the floorstanders this weekend just because due to the sale. They do play a little lower with slightly more bass response, but the midrange and highs aren't nearly as smooth as the bookshelfs & I returned them already. The bookshelfs are...

    How $69.99 Free Chromecast w/lifetime PlayOn+PlayLater subscription

    Good price. Are you using PlayOn? What's your experience been like? I bought it (PlayOn+PlayLater) a month or two ago and the interface and functionality has been pretty 'meh' for me. I already don't use it much because it's so effing clumsy. I don't have a Roku though, using Android...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    $9000 is reasonable, but I just can't see anyone going over 9000.

    Novaform Queen Mattress $399 Costco

    I'm (currently) in L.A. also. I bought a queen 10" memory foam mattress from a wholesaler-type spot near City of Industry for $200 a few years ago. Still using the mattress and it's still fantastic. I've slept on a legit Tempurpedic while staying with family as well, I really didn't notice...

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro Lifetime - $9 1 PC

    Thanks OP, bought another copy. I use MBAM Pro in conjunction with Security Essentials/Defender on all my PC's. Works great with no annual subscription. I'll probably pick up a few more copies if they're going to be changing to a subscription model.

    MEElectronics A161P Reference IEM - $52.94 + FS

    Hard to beat for that price. Tried them for a bit before I later got a deal on Brainwavz B2's (there's no going back from the B2's).

    Straight Talk AT&T sim cards $6.99 free overnight shipping(ALSO NOW SUPPROTS LTE!!!)

    lol, no thanks. I hope they all eat shit. I'm happy to see this push for no-contract pre-paid byod plans (even if this is still ATT's infrastructure).

    Straight Talk AT&T sim cards $6.99 free overnight shipping(ALSO NOW SUPPROTS LTE!!!)

    I wish they had tiered data plans. I'd be happy to pay another $10-15 for more "unlimited" data.

    Ooma Telo VoIP Phone System $100

    At $99 Ooma is a no-brainer. I've had one for a year or two, no complaints. Taxes are about $3.50 a month.

    Beastie Boys- Licensed to Ill CD/mp3 $3.99

    I regret not seeing them more than any other band that comes to mind. For the "old folks" that want to try newer stuff, listen to P.O.S. and Atmosphere (my mom likes Atmosphere, I'm 31).

    3 Gallon Fishtank $24.99

    Wow, sounds like you really shouldn't keep fish if you know that little about them. They're alive, not toys.

    Dell 11z Core i3 11.6" Notebook w/ optional Sprint 4G $225

    I used one of these for a year or so. I added 8 gigs of RAM and an SSD, it was a great machine.

    Acronis True Image 2013 $20, Malwarebytes Lifetime $12

    So for the Acronis True Image users, what do you think of the 2013 version? I bought Norton Ghost 15 because it was $10 and I'll probably buy this too because it's $10, if only to test them both back to back. Have you had good luck with restores and imaging? The interface, features, and ease...
