Looking for a new TV show to watch, preferably funny/not too serious as I'm currently watching The Leftovers, The Strain and season 1 of the killing. Suggestions?

I bought an Eclipse box from Xunity a while back for someone and I really liked it. Has a great keyboard on underside of remote. Xunity are also the best XBMC developers imo. It's pricier than many other boxes, but the hardware is good quality.

For example I have an M3 from Geniatech (who make the branded Pivos, Sumvision, and MyGica boxes) running Linux and it will often have to be unplugged and plugged back in if left on for a long time as it overheats as the cheap Chinese stuff that it really is.

Here is the link to Eclipse box:

If you want to spend time looking into XBMC first (I am assuming you haven't used it before, apologies if I am misinterpreting it) I recommend signing up to Xunity Talk forum:

http://www.xunitytalk.com

Now the Eclipse box is pricey as far as these boxes go. There are many who use an Ouya console for XBMC (though I vaguely recall there may be audio issues which may need solutions), and Amazon Fire TV. As DP said Raspberry Pi can be used if you like messing about with stuff. Old jailbroken Apple TV 2s still do the job. Here is a link for reading about different devices for XBMC:

Watched this based on your recommendation and I enjoyed it. If you're looking for actual laughs this isn't it, but a good, enjoyable, amiable show.

His book Carmilla (lesbian vampire does europe) was a great part of Bram Stoker creating Dracula. All I know of him, if it's even right.

Good Lord no.

The word "Bally" in front of any Dublin location denotes a no-go, scumbag, hellhole. Ballyfermot, Ballymun, Ballybough.

It's like an ancient gypsy curse - "May all your children wear jeans and runners...even to interviews."

They are on Netflix AFAIK but I'll dig out links later if u need

This is almost a direct copy of the wife's viewing list. Ye two could be soulmates. Must remember to never introduce you to each other.

Dude we the only way we could be more physically different is if I was a black woman.
I think you are safe enough

Sucks to be you, you'll never have the best breakfast roll in Ireland and you'll never experience the amazing quirk of nature that has Karaoke in every pub in the same town.

If you could that would be great. Found some SD links earlier but HD is preferred. and I prefer downloading over Netflix as I'm still on a crappy fixed wireless Internet and I can download at the office

[CHDad]

Schalke, Sporting and Maribor.

May send the kids.

[Jam-Fly]

Need to find some tweet from about 6 months ago. For accounts that have like 10k tweets, is there anyway to find these tweets quickly as opposed to just scrolling the whole way down the page.

Actually it's a retweet, so I have the original, but I need screenshot of the retweet on the retweeter's account page.

[CHDad]

Hold the space bar til you are far enough back then ctrl+f to find on page (just type in name of original tweeter) will bring you right to it.

There's a website where you download any users entire tweet history as an excel file, can't remember the name of it but I'm sure google will provide the answer.

FFS I cannot believe Milan are signing Torres. Past 5 or so years the club has just been a revolving door for has-beens with zero hunger left . Made a big deal out of selling Balo and Robinho for poor attidudes and then persue Torres, ah yeah.

is that not poor usability that you have to use an external site to do something relatively simple? And CHD, even doing that, one of the accounts had 30,000 tweets so still took ages. For a top tier company with so many users, I've always thought Twitter's interface wasn't too naturally intuitive.

Weeee...Cavani to come to the Bridge now for a perfect summer of signings. He was actually always a likeable guy Torres, just a pity about him being god awful in a Chelsea shirt. There was a good two years of every time you watched him thinking 'is this it, is this the spark that will reignite him', but then eventually, I just gave up.

Yeah they've very dodgy usability. Have a PhD student doing his PhD on twitter sentiment for asset price predictability and we've had tonnes of hoops to jump through to get access to the core data.

Is there not already companies offering that service?

dunno if I said it to you, but the company I worked for on coop was cl0ud niinety. It was mostly PR, customer service etc. kinda stuff but there's definitely potential there to use the system for something like that. I wouldn't know much about the programming side of it, but I'd imagine what's in place there would cut out a lot of hassle ye may have encountered.

[Jam-Fly]

Another reasonable group for Chelsea, another really tough group for City, another slog for Arsenal that they'll inevitably get through and a glory tie for Liverpool in a group where they should finish 2nd.

Barca, PSG, Ajax, APOEL probably the other stand out group.

Leeds sack their new manager after 6 games. Solid owner there!

[tylerdurden94]

EPT Barcelona was absolutely bananas so many runners, breaking attendance records all over the place! Finished this morning at about 4:30 left the casino about 5ish and back to pack and sleep for a bit, had to leave hotel at 8:30 to catch my flight only for one of the lads I was working with rang my room I would've missed my flight. These final tables are absolutely grueling that Toby Stone changed the clock from 90 minutes to 60 then 45 & then 30 minute levels, not as bad as Monte Carlo but fuck me I'm wrecked.
