I bought a good number of games from xbox store but got out of the habit and didn't log in for a few years. Went through the pretty painful process of logging in to my account again recently on a new console, no sign of any purchases a

Really good idea, fair play to everyone working on it. I generally try to keep my phone as long as possible but the main driver to make me get new phone is the diminishing battery capacity. This isn't helped by the fact it is very hard

Banks does explore these areas. Excession contains traitorous minds, minds created for single purposes (war) and humans who don't fit in the Culture ideal. I'm sure other culture books do too but Excession is the one I've rer

I would probably go back on a lot of things I've said if someone offered me over a billion dollars. Also minecraft being as popular as it is you would end up with a lot (more) pissed off clueless users. cf kodi.

I had a subscription to sugarsync for a few months longer than I needed due to their "cancellation dept" only being open a few hours a day in some far off timezone. Hateful.

Any reason you've stuck with snow leopard? I know it was pretty solid but I'm using same laptop and mavericks runs great on it with ssd and ram maxed.

I use them with webcams and motion software for a budget cctv solution. I had some issues with reliability that I kludged around by setting them to reboot once a day. I also use them for basic network monitoring with munin and smokeping.
