As someone who loves understanding the mind of a killer, this show is perfect. It goes through everything about the killers life and they interview them as well. None of them are innocent obv but it's still interesting to see.

Some are even interviewed while on death row and it's just amazing to see how they react or lack thereof when prompted to discuss experiences in death row.

That show does look interesting. Just one more thing to chuck on the never-diminishing pile.

I'm on episode 3 right now and it continues to deliver. It's very detailed as well. They don't miss anything.

We just finished season one of Netflix's 'Lost in Space'. Loved it. They damn well better sign off on a second season.

So I highly recommend buying prebuild if you want a really nice and reliable PC. I won't disclose the cost as that's not necessarily indicative of the quality though I guess you could argue that it is a big part. I guess it does have some say in it. I saved quite a bit tho because I was also planning to build, but it ended up costing more than I wanted to spend.

Really? You think the satisfaction and personal choice of putting together your very own PC to what ever specification you want still loses out to a prebuilt machine? This assumes you have some idea of what you are doing of course.

Price is of no consequence. There are any number of factors that go in to determining how an individual vendor will sell a product. The majority of which are not the quality of the item because that is only one part of it. Though as you said it can certainly be argued either way.

That's a valid point and one I actually didn't consider. There is a certain amount of pride you get when you build so I guess it can go both ways depending on what you want.

And that's also a good point. I do think I got quite lucky with my purchase so evidently I am very biased.

But it's hard not to see something and say "oh that looks good". Weeks later you've got ten episodes and you don't even know if you're going to like it, but you're afraid to delete it in case you do like it. Ah first world problems huh?

Oh. Perhaps there is some extension you can buy? Although the card reader thing is new to me, wonder why they felt such a thing was necessary?

1 Terabyte does seem like a lot, until it isn't though. You never know how much space you are truly going to need.

Finally got to see the last show of the season for the 100...

Oh man, I'm not there yet, but all of these crying GIFs in reference to it are making me nervous as all hell.

The card is because all Sky's transmissions are encoded, so the card decodes them. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to charge you for a subscription. They're so encoded that, even if you manage to get the hard disk out and transfer the files of what you've recorded onto your PC, you can't watch them. It's simply unbreakable, so I'm told.

And I guess each card only works in a specific box to prevent you holding on to old boxes and giving them new life. When you replace or upgrade your box it's still yours, but it's useless as the card is deactivated from your account, so basically it's a big paperweight.

I guess the more you have the more you use. When I had the smaller box I would be more careful about what I recorded, but once you go into the terabytes you convince yourself there's loads of space. Until, as you say, there isn't.
