As a user of the Legacy Thumbstick Layout this latest patch has rendered all Halo 2 Anniversary games unplayable for me. Changing the control scheme does nothing and remains as the default thumbstick layout. It works fine for all other Halo games. I wanted to let everyone else know that there are other people having the same issue.

EDIT: I'm hearing that legacy is also broken in Halo 4.

My unsubsidized federal student loans accrued a total of $1200 in interest while in school and go into repayment in February 2015 (they’re currently in the 6 month grace period). Rather than pay off that interest now (which I am capable of), would it make sense to hold off on paying the interest until JUST BEFORE the grace period ends and they go into repayment?

If I understand student loan interest correctly, it does not compound like credit card interest, so the interest does not capitalize until the grace period officially ends in February. This should mean that between now and then the amount of interest that accrues per month will be the same regardless of whether or not I pay off the

It seems like the general consensus here is that custom building an HTPC is the way to go since you get the most bang for your buck. The problem is I wanted something small and quiet that looked attractive sitting in my living room next to my TV. This is one of the most important features for me and what ultimately took building a custom PC out of the running. I had already done a lot of research into building my own PC and picked out the following components:

  • Processor: AMD-A10 5700, $135.25
  • Motherboard: MSI Mini ITX Socket FM2, $89.99
  • RAM: 2x2GB, $44.00
  • Hard Drive: Crucial m4 64GB SSD, $72.99

These specs would have been more than enough to accomplish the tasks of playing 1080p v

I'm looking to either build or purchase a computer that will be connected to my HDTV that can accomplish the following tasks:

  • Download and stream videos from various sources at max quality (torrents/Youtube/Hulu/Netflix)

  • Play local video files on my HDTV via HDMI (1080p+720p .mkv/.avi/.mp4)

  • Serve local videos to network devices such as Xboxes and tablets using UPnP software (Serviio in this case).

My budget is $300. This price does not need to include hard drives or the OS. I would like the computer to be as small and quiet as possible since it will be in the living room. Size and loudness are VERY important. It will most likely be running Win7 x64.

I was looking at the variety o
