Got it setup on 2 Amazon Fire TV boxes. The remote navigates very well (not flawlessly). For the $80/$29 I paid, I cannot complain in the slightest. With Amazon Prime and Netflix on the same desktop, I cannot keep up with all of the entertainment choices.

Helps that some of the XBMC distros come with full sets of plugins. Not much needed to do. :w00t:

I've got a good friend who does a lot for us. For Christmas, I hooked him up with a Fire TV, joystick, and XBMC. With his busy schedule, he has not had time to download shows via other filesharing systems. Now he just picks from an endless supply of media and enjoys. His son uses the Amazon apps to play games. Made me a family hero! :shifty:

Keep asking... statistically you'll get what you're looking for

What joystick? I just got a FireTV. Did you sideload XBMC like this? http://www.alashiban.com/running-xbm...step-tutorial/

Some people are dynamic, while others struggle to motivate themselves.

Some people are advanced while others are late developers.

Our world has every conceivable mix, from slow to fast, from comatose to dynamic, from introvert to extrovert, from quiet to loud, from Oleg to megabyteme. The fact is that our world has a mix of so many different characters. If we were all the same, what a boring world we would live in. Also, how could one excel if we were all alike.

There is a place in this world for all of us, and I mean all of us. No one is excluded from this human club we have. After all, ethnic or any other cleansing for that matter cannot be tolerated. Life is too short to hold grudges.

Disregarding the possible implication that the only use for some people is to make others feel better, I more or less agree with your assessment.

Everyone should have a right to life*, and we should accept far more variety in behaviour without labeling it with diagnosis. In fact, I feel that for some people, being given one (diagnosis) validates not trying to overcome whatever personal obstacles they might have, which is sad.

That said, I also believe that we owe it to ourself, and to others, to at least try to not get stuck in a rut, when we have problems. To do something about it, rather than just whine. Venting is all right, but venting forever isn't. If someone does, IDGAF.




*But not at the expense of other lives, not freely given, and there has to be a point where maybe their right is forfeit - I'm considering proven mass murderers and such.

You don't need to go through all the trouble of command prompts anymore. Learn how to use adbfire. It makes the process MuCH simpler.

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_on_Fire_TV

There are videos available which help reduce some of the confusing parts. Watch those, but focus on ones that are from the past 3 months. Older ones take you through pre-automated steps. The greatest challenge at this point is making sure your pc is connecting to the FireTV, and that you have the proper files ready for the adbfire program to place them on your FireTV.

As for the joystick, just get the $40 one from Amazon designed for the FireTV. There are other cheapo options, but not worth it, IMO. I believe you can use newer Xbox controllers via bluetooth, but I have not done so.

Well that's another perfectly good "OlgeL whining about being mental and never getting laid while everyone sits back and doesn't really give a fuck" thread shot to hell.

I hope you're all pleased with yourselves.

What you describe is often called competition. When we go for a job vacancy, only one can fill the spot. The others, while not necessarily failures, were not good enough to land the job. In every scenario, there are winners and losers. It doesn't mean the losers are failures, only that the winner was able to demonstrate an elevated ability.

If we didn't compete against others, there is no way we could feel better. If we automatically qualified for that job, how could we appreciate the honor of getting the job over others?

Should that be a metric by which we are valued, though?

In a perfect world, we wouldn't measure our accomplishments in relation to others. I mean, I'm not saying I never have, or that I won't again, but I'd like to think that we, as a species could rise above having to feel superior over others to feel better.

Also, I'd like to think that when I dislike someone over being a useless dipshit, or whatever, it is because I think that they're a useless dipshit, and with with no ulterior motives such as self-gratification. But then again, maybe that is still going on in my subconcious.

I believe there is a certain level of "Oh thank god I'm not that guy!" involved here. Seems to be a certain level of wired-in survival instinct to do so. Think of primitive man throwing a rock at a woolly mammoth and getting stomped to death for his stupidity. Or a truly bad driver running off the road. Or one of a brazillion youtube videos available for our amusement. We either learn from the failings of others, have learned, or will find ourselves as "that guy".

We can laugh, mock, or even empathize with the situations, but these things bring us amusement the same way comedians describe everyday circumstances which we get the same internal giggles from. Not too dissimilar from other fight-or-flight responses.

In regards to Oleg, we've run the full gambit of laughs to good, solid advice. It has not been heeded. We aren't necessarily "better" than Oleg, but he is the guy facing down the tiger, and he is ill prepared.

We all evolve because our peers and our forerunners have given us advice, or demonstrated by example, on how we should proceed.

We learn through several mediums.

1) By example; someone demonstrates how we should proceed and we learn from that example.

2) Positive exploration; someone discovers a new way to do something, and passes that information on to the rest of us.

3) Negative exploration; someone discovers a way of not doing something, and we learn from their mistake.

I imagine that idiot who was chucking rocks at the mammoth, and got trampled to death, demonstrated to the others how not to take down a mammoth.

I imagine that the guy that used a javelin to bring down the mammoth encouraged others to do the same.

I imagine those who brought down the mammoth with their javelins passed on this fact to their peers and their offspring.

See how we learn.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as those who make the same mistakes over and over again, and are unable to comprehend that they continually fail. As John Cleese said recently, you have to be reasonably intelligent to know you are stupid, because there is a level of stupidity where they are so stupid that they cannot conceive that they are stupid. In other words, they are too stupid to know that they are stupid.

We also judge others based on not only how their actions/competence affect the community, but also how their involvement reflects those involved. We are prone to point out flaws in order to keep others from seeing us as deficient, also.

Look at how we criticize the overweight ( :blushing: ), sloppy, filthy, undereducated, etc. We really don't want those negatives associated with us. By denigrating, we are saying, "I recognize this person's shortcomings, so do NOT pin them on me- I know better; that's not me..." Most of these are ultimately based in some sort of survival of the group nature' overweight=unhealthy, filthy=spreads disease, undereducated=prone to mistakes, etc.

As for your Cleese quote, he's paraphrasing work done on competency http://cornellpsych.org/sasi/papers/...-PSPC-2008.pdf

It seems to me that you are a really big fan of the word "assburger". Do you watch the show "Community"? I know that the word "assburger" was mentioned at least once throughout the series. Did you become a fan of that word after you became a fan of "Community"? I am just trying to figure out why you love that word so much.

And i f there is such a thing as natural selection I'm trying to figure out why you're still alive.


It's those liberals isn't it?

Isn't the fact that he is alive proof that he has a right to live?

Surely you must concede that Oleg does have something to offer the rest of us, and that is honesty. I mean, how many members of this forum are upfront enough to let us know that they are still virgins?

I think he deserves a round of applause for his transparency.

Yes, we noticed by the way you quoted my post. As for what is good or not about being a virgin, I never argued one way or the other.

What if he can't find an average girl and they're all like 5.2's or 6.1's?

I'd suggest he set his sites closer to 3.4 to 4.1 range. And drunk.

Speaking of which, how's your sister, Idol?

The first thing I thought when reading this was "those are both Windows version numbers" :eyebrows:

The first thing that I thought was reading this was how badly you needed to be punched in the face.

Translation: "I need attention." (why else would you post something like this?)

I think his problem is that he has set his sight too high. After all, he wants sex with a beautiful woman who is HOT, unlike most of us who settle for whatever we can get. After all, does he think he is Rod Stewart or David Bowie?

My biggest problem is that I am a fucking idiot. Many people who are born stupid remain stupid for the rest of their lives. I am one of those people.

Ironically, you are not an idiot or stupid. If you were an idiot or stupid, you wouldn't even be aware of the fact. The fact that you are aware of your limitations indicates a level of intelligence often missing from other members of this community.

As for intelligence, it comes in different packages. Some people are mathematicians; Some are mechanically minded; Some have an affinity for language/s; Some have spacial awareness; Some have absolute control over their own body; Some can influence others without effort.

Who is to judge who is more intelligent and who is less intelligent? The fact is that intelligence is a subjective manner. If you take two people, one who attended university, and one who didn't, who is most intelligent? The one with the degree? How do you know that the one who didn't attend university may have achieved a higher result if they HAD attended university.

Some people are in the right place at the right time; Some people get where they are not by what they know, but who they know; Some people get where they are by their appearance, and not their intelligence.

Our world is an unfair place. We still live in a society that favours those that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, or those that appear knowledgeable. There are people who have ability, but are discriminated against because of their gender, race, appearance or age. The world is not a fair place.

Doubt it, you might be lacking some social skills though. Most women at attracted to "fun" people.
