don't you just love it when some strange issue of an old computer refusing to start up properly is fixed with nothing more than a couple of [del]hits from a sledge[/del] light taps on its side?

Reading about people abusing their machines like that makes a bit sad. It's not like a child, it won't get motivated to work if you beat it.

After three minutes of using the headphones as the wires of an elevator and the iPod as the actual elevator, I accidentally let go of the headphones and dropped it on the ground. I fixed it.

Kind words, begging, promising computer heaven, trying to give it my brain power and without results. So I just settled down with kicking.

When I was really little, I would start the computer problems. I was a really bad kid, now I cherish my computer. Anyways, is there anyone here who likes Foster the People? I've been listening to Torches for a while.

So I'm watching Regular Show and I paused just as Rigby was turning around. That face. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iU8CXSm.png[/IMG]

Punch it in the keyboard loudly, making a loud bang and scaring the shit out of anyone in a several-foot radius. Continue working as normal. No matter how I disassembled it, cleaned it and put it back together, the LVDS cable in that thing was just not gonna work without a good slam.

All I can think of is maybe displacing dust which is keeping something from starting up correctly.
I was sitting here talking to my brother about Dark Souls 2. It reminded us of this old ps2 game called [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergrace"]Evergrace[/URL]. I jokingly said wouldn't it be cool if From Software made that? I fucking googled it and they did make it. Holy shit I never knew that. No wonder why I love DS so much.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;44342158]Am I reading the OS and browser dogs correctly? 98 and netscape? shit thats a few nostalgic things i used to use[/QUOTE] Spoofing user agent.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;44342559]That would make sense but still.[/QUOTE] A year or so ago, I actually managed to load pages on Facepunch on a Win95 486 laptop and Netscape 4.6. Its slow, not everything works, and large images make it grind to a halt, but its readable. I was shocked that the DMT worked as well as it did, considering how image heavy it was. You just had to wait for the images to render.
I got me some white cheese dip and Mission tortilla chips. Am currently in heaven, will report back when I return. [editline]24th March 2014[/editline] Aw ballsacks, I got dip on my beard. [editline]24th March 2014[/editline] Paradise interrupted.
My cat broke muh mouse :C Now I cant play vidya games.
[QUOTE=Vilusia;44343702]My cat broke muh mouse [/QUOTE] I read that as "My cat broke my nose" :v:
Ran out of cheese dip. Am thoroughly satisfied.
Oh my god I forgot how brilliant super noodles are truly the food of kings
