    http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/zsa-zsa-gabor-dead-hungarian-actress-and-socialite-dies-at-99-w456646 At least you can't say that she didn't have one hell of a run, herself. But 2016 ain't done yet...

    [Question] Got a new box (finally) - Wat do?

    So, after suffering through a couple generations of creep, I finally found myself in a position to upgrade. I ended up buying this, along with this RAM upgrade. Now, I know that this is by NO means top-shelf, or even high-level, but it's still considerably better than what I HAVE been working...

    External Hard Drive

    Looking to pic one up for photo storage for my wife. Doesn't need to be stellar, doesn't need to be huge, just needs to be reliable and sturdy. Any ideas? Any brands to stay away from?

    [Other] Posters of Halforums Calendar

    Never let it be said that I don't know how to please a lady! *grins* Semi-serious, though... is there enough interest for a "Posters of Halforums" calendar? It wouldn't have to be a "steamy" one - although if someone felt confident enough to toss that on there, more power to ya! Pictures...

    Steam game installation issues...?

    Okay, I actually had to RTFM for this, and I'm still not coming up with anything... Picked up X-Com + all DLC over Christmas. Finally got to install in on the 26th. During the installation, my computer went screwy (right when it started installing the C++ runtime [I think?] and Direct X on the...

    [Funny] Joke thread

    I was going to start up a Cop humor thread, mostly from some of the good stuff I find on the interwebs, stuff I think Frank would enjoy, but then I wondered why we didn't really have any kind of a verbal humor thread? I know we've got one for funny pictures, and there was one that kinda petered...

    [Gaming] Chris Roberts returns?!

    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-10-10-wing-commander-creator-returns-to-melt-your-pc-with-new-space-sim-star-citizen I remain cautiously optimistic, and hopeful for the future. With luck, the folks leaving Bioware who are still into the idea of making games might follow a similar path...

    Newbie questions...

    Okay... felt bad about just starting a new thread just for myself, so I figured that this could be a general catch-all place for folks who might be interested in getting into Cosplay, their own selves. As for me... I has qvestion: What is the feasibility of turning something like this: into...

    Your Law Enforcement Questions

    Okay... I've had several instances where folks have asked for information from me, either about law enforcement in general, or to get a law enforcement perspective. I thought that it might not be a bad idea for me to have a sort of central location for folks to pop in here and ask something in...

    First baseball game

    So, yesterday I sat down at my first baseball game ever. Actually in the stands, I mean. Don't rightly know what I was expecting, but it was a great deal of fun. My wife enjoyed herself, Rhiannon enjoyed herself, the beer was stale, the hotdogs were overpriced, the crowd was... colorful...

    (Question)Attention those with biology/chemistry backgrounds:

    Got a bit of a question here... this is more related to science fiction than fact, but because I'm a colossal nerd, I wanted to run some stuff by anyone with a grounding in the subject matter. Ahem, okay, so... one of the fandoms that I chat with regularly has started looking into the...

    I may have agreed to do something... rather rash...

    So, I have a buddy, a fellow cop, who is... a little off, shall we say? Great guy, but his grasp of reality can get somewhat tenuous. He's former Army EOD and Airborne, so he's already got some screws loose *chuckles*. In any case... I think I've let him talk me into doing something... crazy...

    Russia, 100 years ago

    Came across this on another forum I browse... a Russian photographer used a pretty nifty technique for obtaining some fantastically-detailed color photos that you could swear were taken by a digital camera. Stuff is FASCINATING. Russia in color, a century ago - The Big Picture - Boston.com
