I haven't used it with XBMC but other readers are reporting it's not quite fast enough to handle 1080p at a high(-ish) bit rate. So maybe not. It works great with Plex, but you're not looking for Plex. :) Read more

Pretty much! Read more

We don't explicitly support piracy, but us talking about emulation shouldn't come as any surprise. This is far from the first time. Read more

Haha, nice :) Read more

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply we were tearing it apart. There's not a whole lot to be done if we did, unfortunately. Read more

I think we all paid $99 for it initially because we liked what it was supposed to be. It didn't end up being that, so this post is really for people who have one and would rather it didn't collect dust. Personally, if it only ran Plex I'd be satisfied. If Plex would put out a box I'd buy that, especially if I could… Read more

Yeah I'd heard there were some issues with people. I've got a GameStick coming, but they've been incredibly bad at communicating what the heck is going on right now. Supposedly one was shipped to me, but I have no notice saying so. They just said they shipped everyone's. I don't even remember supplying them with… Read more

In a word :) Read more

It's not that weird. My dad used to store me in suitcases. Read more

Haha, I know! I picked that one because it was so weird looking. :) Read more

That's good to know. I guess they expect that's what you'll use if you're going to carry something bad. I haven't taken one on a plane yet so I haven't had that experience. Well, I haven't taken a proper one—just a small one that wouldn't worry anybody. Good to know what I'm in for next time I fly. :) Read more

I don't really get how it's a yuppie interpretation. "Go bag" is just the adapted term for regular people (e.g. people who don't need an emergency kit) who want a bag that they take with them most of the time. It's packed, ready to go, and has what they need. Yuppies wouldn't buy a bag from an army surplus store… Read more

I think "go bag" is supposed to be gender-neutral, but yeah, for guys it's definitely an alternative to man purse. :) Read more

I don't talk about counting calories because this isn't an article about a specific method of weight/fat loss. I'm not recommending one method, but a series of things to consider when choosing a method that works for the reader. Counting calories does work for some people, but it's absolutely miserable for others. … Read more

I think that's vastly oversimplifying. You move too much you can hurt yourself. You eat too little you can cause problems. Even if you reduce calories to a healthy number, if you eat the wrong types of foods you can provide your body with poor nutrition and cause serious problems. While what you suggest provides a… Read more

I think that's a really good idea. One of the hardest things for me is the general lack of support I get from most of the people in my life. I have virtually no encouragement to stick to a healthier diet because I don't know anyone else who does where I live. It'd be really helpful to have someone to encourage me… Read more

That doesn't sound like you're getting much that's useful for running on either side of that equation...although I guess that depends on what you're putting in the salad. Read more

Any bag that's basically an Army surplus bag fits so much stuff it's like you have another dimension strapped to you. It's pretty incredible. I'm going to be posting about this, specifically, next week, actually. :) Read more

Well, the speed listening section applies here. Body language only goes so far. If I have to listen to detail I find it helps to draw. Some people prefer notes, which are really more useful anyway. I have trouble keeping up with notes, and retain information better if I'm not taking them (so I don't take them). Read more

Yeah, that's a good point. You can't really listen if you don't let other people talk! Read more
