    I've been watching Seinfeld. I thought it would be some generic comedy that newer shows have been based upon and improved, but my god this is good. The acting is very natural and real (unlike modern sitcoms where it seems like the characters have the audience in mind) and this is some hilarious...

    31-40k Need help for a development server

    For this use case, why don't you just deploy a machine on the cloud? Linode, AWS etc? That is if this is intended to be used as a staging/test server. If you actually want a development server with the intent that those 6 developers should be working in sync, then how about just using...

    Maybe you would have liked it more if the rest of us had not been orgasming all over the place about it. Ah the effects of hype... Plus, I can't help but feel that is one of those shows that really shines when you watch it weekly as opposed to churn through. But, of course, to each his own :)

    Hello hello! Just here to perform my weekly gushing about how utterly horrifyingly awesome Rick and Morty is. OMG Rick and Morty is so utterly horrifyingly awesome with super intelligent writing! Thanks and good day!

    The fact that True Detective is missing in that list better be a mistake. IT BETTER BE!

    Anyone have experience with induction cooktops?

    After making this thread, I had got the Bajaj ICX 6 cooktop for my family. It's been working perfectly fine, though we don't use it very often. Initially we just used some flat bottomed steel based cookware that was already lying around the kitchen and it worked perfectly fine. (Though I still...

    Getting only half speed on MTNL Delhi 1MBPS plan?

    I just got an MTNL Delhi 1MBPS connection last week. I did the modem configuration stuff myself (by following some blog post... actually everything was automatic... I just set the VPI/VCI thing) since the technician had no clue how to set things up in Linux. But my speed has been consistently...

    Can I get some recommendations for good women's perfumes?

    @edge111hussain Appreaciate your inputs! A lot of those seem very pricey. But of course, you get what you pay for. As a perfumer, do you have any insights on whether or not there is a huge fake perfumes racket going on in online stores? I'm just curious.

    Can I get some recommendations for good women's perfumes?

    You bet. They will be for my Viking girlfriend once I find her. A lot of people have recommended me that one.

    I still haven't watched the original Cosmos, so that has been on my download list. Will make for peaceful dinner-time viewing. (Currently watching the Dick Proenneke series... Alone in the Wilderness etc. for my dinners). As for Whose Line... Wiki says there's still going to be a celeb guest...

    I preferred Season 1 of Banshee as well. Season 2 was just okay. I've kept watching The Walking Dead each week since I preferred a bit of sad comedy before gearing up for True Detective. But no more True Detective... so I'm left with sad comedy.

    Can I get some recommendations for good women's perfumes?

    Appreciate the suggestions, guys. She already has quite a few watches (lots received as gifts over the years). @blkrb0t, seems a good suggestion. She currently has a different one from Elizabeth Arden and she liked that one, so this one has a good chance. I'll add it to my shortlist.

    Can I get some recommendations for good women's perfumes?

    The blotting paper thing is a great idea (despite the drawback you mentioned). I might do that next time I go out. But I'm still open to more recs on brands you guys have had success with. (again, even though perfumes have a very subjective appeal).

    Vikings is going pretty good in the 3 eps of the 2nd season so far. I was slightly worried after the tame final 2 eps of the previous season, but it's all good now. I forgot that I had a huge crush on that Lagertha chick. Guys, I need a Viking girlfriend like that. What do I do?

    Crows Zero : Explode - Release date pleaseee?

    Will do! Till now I've seen a few Japanese movies. Some of Akira Kurosawa's work and that one movie called 'Battle Royale' which has a Hunger Games-ish vibe.
