In this case,では is a more polite way of saying じゃ (as in じゃない/じゃありませ&#12435. So, "Its not like that". ^^

Also what Deek said.

Just hiragana with no spaces is a nightmare. Even my Japanese friends have trouble reading it. That's what kanji is for I suppose =/

Spoiler

or they could just add spaces. But nope!

Have you got kanji background? I imagine that helps. I do love kanji, but damn not being able to read it sometimes is a pain...

I'm doing Heisig... which is sort of helpful, and sort of not > >

It's so, so, so good.

Yeah, will make things much easier.

Now to decide if I should get a htpc or not.

You can always get an apple tv and jailbreak it with xbmc and then stream from your box. Depending on how that's all setup.

Yeah I thought about that, would rather an all in one box sickberd/sabnzb/xmbc.

Though will hold off until the new apple tv is released and see how long that takes to jailbreak.

Just have one box for Sick Beard, SABnzbd, and if you like put the XBMC database on a MySQL database on the same box.

Then have a jailbroken Apple TV, or a Raspberry Pi, or something else point to the XBMC database on your server. The benefit of doing this (with the central server) is that you can start something on one box, pause and resume it on a different one. All devices will have the same watched/unwatched status.

Planning on doing this myself once XBMC 11 final comes out.

 

[Omikron]

Have you been to Noveria or Therum yet? They were your 3 real choices to decide what timing you go to each.

Getting there! The last few hours are a total blast.

I have no idea! I only just twigged last night that I was still chasing this Saren guy around and that is why I am now beating up on the Thorian plant thing.

Picking up a big 'RPG' after 2 years is probably unwise without doing reading.

I'm hoping the new ATV will be jailbroken and have a nice XBMC installation I can use for streaming instead of the PS3. I tried a friend's ATV gen 2 in my home theatre setup and had issues with XBMC on it (specifically the audio channels not functioning correctly, which appeared to be a common issue).

I'm somewhat interested in a Raspberry Pi but the ATV would be a more complete solution, given that it has a remote etc.

So, those Melbourne Transport Protection Officers are around and getting trained up by Police. I actually couldn't tell the difference from a distance and thought they were a bunch of cops milling about.

Fucking why do we need protection staff with firearms is still beyond me.

That sounds good. I have a spare laptop as well.

Now if the new apple tv can run Xbmc I will be set.

There's a pretty good (official) XBMC Remote app for Android. The on-screen 'remote' isn't the best, but being able to scroll through your shows and just tell an app to start playing is pretty sweet.

It pauses movies if you get a call, or shows SMSes on screen when they come in, which is also cool.

Yea the Pi is something myself and X3n have been following for a bit now. It does have XBMC running off it without any major issues, Although X3n does claim that it doesn't support specific codecs? I'm not too sure on that one.

You can patch xbmc to accept the real high end stuff though over hdmi through your receiver if it supports it, Like TrueHD audio and all that, which I can't remember the names of.

I know the old man wants an ATV3 but I wouldn't mind jailbreaking it once it comes out and show him the lovely xbmc. That could be a better solution for my folks.

There's a company here trying to turn homeless people into wifi hotspots.

I read that. Part of me thought it was awesome purely for the mental image, the other (much, much smaller) part was mortified.

iOS? Hopefully not anything to do with Codies after the colossal fuck-up that was F1 2011... at least, on PC. I can't run the game in DX11 because I'm using Crossfire? Fuck off. But apparently the online was still rooted as well. Fucking Codies.

Thecus + WDTV Live ver 2. So, so good.

Man, that's almost enough to convince me to knock up an XBMC box. Given that I now have Android running on my Windpad (don't see what the big deal about it is, looks and performs like arse compared to Win8) I could use that app perfectly.

[Stackboy]

Just chiming in on the fitness Ausgaf.

I'm a big dude. 6 foot, 140kgs. My goal is to lose 40kgs by the end of the year. I've done it before by going to the gym and eating right and a friend is helping me out by doing PT with me. So far I've lost a decent amount of weight, most of the change can be seen in my face and stomach.

I find it pretty easy to stick with when I do it with friends and am accountable.

Arggggg my Kidney!

There's a company here trying to turn homeless people into wifi hotspots.

Love the idea. Not sure what the problem is?

Raising awareness of homelessness and making a statement about we care more about paying a few dollars so we can look at cats trying to eat cheeseburgers when we are out of the house than doing something about the problem.

Plus the company reached out to them and asked if they were interested, they didn't force them to do anything. They are only getting paid what is being donated so it is hard to say they are being exploited when it is completely their project what they earn.

I have no idea! I only just twigged last night that I was still chasing this Saren guy around and that is why I am now beating up on the Thorian plant thing.

WHY DID YOU BEAT UP MR THORIAN?!? Dude, you could have been nice and reasoned with the big fella. He brews some delicious tea for Shepard if you don't wave a gun in his face you big meanie.

AusGAF, where is the best place to buy ME3 for PC? Something like GMG or Gamersgate?

GMG had 20% off, not sure if still valid. Otherwise there are other places to look.

Sounds like you've got a good plan, so good luck. I'm 5'10" and was about 135kg when I went onto Lite'n'Easy in June last year. Just got below 90kg this morning so I'm quite happy with that (although I've been going up and down a lot in the 93-100 range since Christmas). I agree that you have to be committed for it to work out, but it feels pretty good when it does.

I should probably start exercising too, though. I do two 20 minute walks each day, to get to work and back, but that's pretty much it and I was doing that before going on the diet too.
