I got Windows cheap on http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap but it looks like they've brought the hammer down and banned the sale of Windows keys.
Global warming? More like global cooling Abboot was right!

In fact 2013 was the warmest.
So it got colder.

I heard Super Mario music as the waiting music when I called the tech support company my workplace is partnered with. It isn't Nintendo.

What is the catch here?
Basically zone one and two are exactly what they are on the network. All that other shit is regional so just ignore it.
I did a myki pass for 1 and 2 last year and noticed the same thing when I went to set it up.
Edit. Just tried and realised you said you couldn't do 1 to 1 neither could I. Maybe do zone 1 to 2 as they changed the fare to be the same cost across zones 1and2 as a zone 1 fare this year?
It will, the case will have different sets of standoff holes for each form factor.
Building yourself and overclocking is no doubt the best value, but it sounds like Gaz wants low effort, so I think the i3 is the better option in that case. With the production and editing stuff he'll be doing, he'll see the benefit of hyperthreading from the i3.

seconded. the only reason I stopped playing TP back in the day was that I'd put it aside for one reason or another and whenever I came back to it, i'd spend hours trying to work out where I was in the storyline.
ALBW is the first handheld Zelda I liked since minish cap and only the second I finished (well, it was the OG Gameboy version on Super Gameboy)
In other news, Big Hero 6 is pretty good. I'd place it just above Wreck it Ralph and just below Frozen in terms of Disney stuff. Feast was brilliant.

Not 100% sure, but I think it works like this from the start of 2015:
If you travel only in zone 2, you pay for zone 2.
If you travel only in zone 1, you pay for zone 1.
If your travel at any time that day includes both zone 1 and zone 2, you pay for zone 1.
Yeah that sounds about right but considering Gez only travels in zone 1 only might as well get a pass that covers both for the same price.

Keen to see this, but I don't go to the movies often and there are a few others coming up I'd rather see in cinema (Into the Woods, Pitch Perfect 2, Mad Max) so I'm waiting for the Bluray. Good to hear they've kept up the quality streak they've had going for their last few releases.
Gaz, for shame you haven't posted about this:

So, how do I find out who gifted me something on Steam after I already redeemed it? Been trying to figure it out and it's driving me batshit. I presume I am missing something really fucking obvious.
Pfft. Stunt Driver for life. Looks like an awesome resource though
Wait, it has Budokan? Holy shit, must see.

Paying for Zone 1 automatically covers you for travel in Zone 2, there's no need to pay for "both" (as in the previous "Zone 1+2" tickets). At least as I understand the new charges.
Is this actually legal to play? They have a DMCA exemption to "archive" the games, but I didn't read that there's an included license to actually play the games if you don't already own them elsewhere. Not that it matters to most, I'm sure, just interested in the technicalities...
Except when doing Myki pass you have no option but to pay for Zone 1 + 2, you can't do Zone 1-1 like you previously could. Over 30 days it costs 6 bux more now. I couldn't give a toss about zone 2 as i never travel in it. I don't give a crap about the extra 6 bux but i was under the impression that things where meant to be cheaper in 2015, it seems like they took it out on Myki Pass holders.
I believe they are, they have movies, books, etc as well, all public domain

Yeah, I was under the impression Zone 1 just covered you for Zone 2 automatically, without extra cost. Maybe it's meant to, but their site isn't ready yet. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Isn't public domain granted in the US 75 years after publication or the author's death (thanks, Disney), whoever that may be with regards to games? Besides, stuff like Duke Nukem 3D are still being sold (albeit slightly different editions). I'm still skeptical it's strictly above board, though I guess archive.org must've done their homework.
I don't know much about it, but I don't think there is any strict rule of 75 years:

Hot + the most mental storm I've ever seen.

The SMB theme is technically jazz, so it sort of fits. If the Muzak curator was some old guy who's never played a video game in his life then heard it out of context, I could see how it could merit inclusion.
The music. The MUSIC.

How are you off for actual magazines? I have a boatload of Hypers (I think all of them up until around issue 100ish?) and I'd rather see them go somewhere that would value them than chuck them out.So I went and did a crazy thing and made a Patreon to help support my Old Game Mags and Video Game Art Archive

People who have Patreons are pretty awesome!
So yeah that Internet Archive old games thing! Great use of technology, but, uh, copyright?
not as awesome as the people who SUPPORT said Patreons

Anyone know a place I can get a good smartphone mini-tripod. I already have a mid size one for my SLR, I just want something to go on a table.
Or are those one from the thousands of phone accessory kiosks fine?

I recall your post about that from last year (or one just like it), I laughed at it again. Cheers for the chuckles.

Coles Insurance will beat any other quote you get and pay by the month. I haven't use their roadside assist as yet but we'll see how that goes compared to RACV of previous years...one day I'm sure. I have both home and car with Coles ATM.
Myself and the misses both hate YOUI, overpriced and invasive/pestering sales people.

I'll get one of each, the gorilla pod to stablise my phone and a selfie-stick to beat you about the arms and legs.
soz, selfie-sticks are a bone of contention in my circle of friends. dunno, it's just a thing, like tim tams, forum trolls or gun violence.

I don't think I could be friends with anyone that owned a selfie stick...
The Joby GripTight Mount is excellent. Since it has a 1/4"-20 thread, it can be attached to most photographic accessories with ease. It's a very flexible tool.
Using what I have at hand, you can see mine mounted to a tabletop tripod (comes with one in the Micro Stand kit), a hotshoe with a 1/4"-20 adapter, and a cheap portable tripod. It could go on a light stand or you can buy clamps with 1/4"-20 threads on them, so you can use it in plenty of other places. Make your own stuff with cheap crap from the hardware store, just add the matching thread and a washer and (wing)nut to lock it on.
Note that the above model only clamps phones up to 72mm wide, including the case. If you have one of those frankenphone/tablet things, you'll need the GripTight Mount XL.
