[QUOTE=Big Ben;28625974]I tried that, didn't even shake it first, and I swear I thought my hand was gonna freeze.[/QUOTE]

but ye, like mosy said, you can really harm yourself with that stuff. it's like buying OTC medications to get fucked up, which is why they card you for canned air. i whip out the air compressor when i'm doing some hardcore cleaning with my electronics.

[QUOTE=dcalde78;28625992]hmm so I guess I shouldn't have sprayed it in my face will I die[/QUOTE]

ye u have like 15 mins to live. just make sure you send me a check for $500 before you die, ty for using zorlok medical services have a nice day! ^_______%@#

[Big Ben]

So what makes turning a compressed air can upside down so dangerous? I mean it hurt like fuck because it was so cold, but that's all I could tell.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;28626018]So what makes turning a compressed air can upside down so dangerous? I mean it hurt like fuck because it was so cold, but that's all I could tell.[/QUOTE]

All of the propellant blasts out. Not only is it incredibly cold, it's also incredibly dangerous to breathe in.

Regardless, you should use that stuff in a well-ventilated area.

doctor zorlok what kind of medical field do you specialize at

[QUOTE=Big Ben;28626018]So what makes turning a compressed air can upside down so dangerous? I mean it hurt like fuck because it was so cold, but that's all I could tell.[/QUOTE]

you're not supposed to inhale the propellant, and it's not good to expose your skin / eyes / other vulnerable body parts to those temps

mosy ninja'd by a few seconds but ye, you get the idea

Well thank god I only sprayed it on my thumb for half a second. :ohdear:

Also, I just realized :ohdear: kinda looks like a spider with only 2 eyes.

[Zorlok]

it won't harm you unless you sit there and just unload it onto yourself

there's nothing to worry about unless you're purposely being stupid with it.

Also, my shit shipped earlier today (I chose 3 day service and rush processing btw) and I'll be able to track it at 10 tonight. Estimates on when it will get here? I'm thinking Thursday.

If you're unlucky, you'll receive the CPU, motherboard, RAM, video card, HDD, DVD drive, and all that in one big box.

And the case itself comes two days later.

And arrives 5 minutes before you have to go to a dentist appointment

(happened to me)

Lovin' me some Rise Against.

i've only had that shit happen if they send one set of parts from the VA facility and the other from their CA facility. then it gets all discombobulated

ugh, the stupid brushes are sparking on my DC model Vortalex fan.

Also, is it possible to disable Windows 7 asking for permission to do everything? That's the only thing that bugs me about Windows 7.

[Moosey Fate!]

[QUOTE=Big Ben;28626428]Also, is it possible to disable Windows 7 asking for permission to do everything? That's the only thing that bugs me about Windows 7.[/QUOTE]

Yup.

It's in Control Panel > User Accounts > "Turn User Account Control on or off"

Though 7 is far less annoying with UAC than Vista, so count your blessings, I guess.

[Elecbullet]

[QUOTE=Big Ben;28626428]Also, is it possible to disable Windows 7 asking for permission to do everything? That's the only thing that bugs me about Windows 7.[/QUOTE]

Yes, if you enjoy destroying your PC's security

NOTE: If you're a Vista user, then realize that Windows 7 uses UAC (the annoying thing to which you refer) MUCH more reasonably.

[Big Ben]

Hmm, if it's less annoying than Vistas I can live with it I guess. Fucking Vista though, man. It asks me for permission to use Firefox. [B]FIREFOX.[/B]

Except you don't [b]need[/b] it unless you're barely computer-literate. Watch were you go, don't do any stupid shit, don't download any stupid shit, have an AV program & firewall.

[Elecbullet]

Oh wow lol...

Are you sure that's not just when an update to Firefox is downloaded, to ask permission to install it?

[Big Ben]

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;28626530]Oh wow lol...

Last time I used my laptop with Vista on it, if I remember correctly, it was when I opened it and when it wanted to update.

you're an idiot if you 'need' UAC

also if you really want to get rid of it the cool way, do this:

1. open up cmd prompt as administrator
2. type in: Net user administrator /active:yes
3. log outte from current account and use the 'real' admin account

^ this is the zorlok approve method, i always do this and just disable the other accounts

[Moosey Fate!]

[QUOTE=Big Ben;28626566]Last time I used my laptop with Vista on it, if I remember correctly, it was when I opened it and when it wanted to update.[/QUOTE]

I can attest to this.

It would also ask me any time I ran a game, or opened a media player.

I approve of this way and will most definitely use it.

[editline]15th March 2011[/editline]

Oh shit son, I'll be able to run GTAIV on this new computer. Awesome! :buddy:

[Zorlok]

tbh it's not necessary to do it that way, but i just prefer it

[Big Ben]

[QUOTE=Zorlok;28626644]tbh it's not necessary to do it that way, but i just prefer it[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but it has you using cmd which makes you instacool.

[Elecbullet]

I apologize profusely for decrying those who make the difficult decision to refuse to employ the use of Windows 7 User Account Control. Having used Linux so long I have forgotten, to be honest, what Windows is really like.

[Zorlok]

ok

[Big Ben]

Aw man, I just realized a major drawback to PC gaming.

No vibration in the controls.

I'm kidding.

Kinda.
