Finally out of school. I'm going to summer camp next week, and after that (Hopefully) I will be building my first computer.
Content (OP wants a laptop): [QUOTE=mrjesus;30500943]I want something between $300-$500 that can run some RTS games like Company of Heroes or even Hitman Bloodmoney, the graphics dont have to be pretty but it has to have a good framerate. Any suggestions? Oh yeah, it's supposed to be for college and I would love to have Win 7 on it [QUOTE=The Bee Gees;30500957]Buy a PC.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]

I would kill for some Class 10 microSD-HC in my phone right now. Ugh. Does Class 10 microSD-HC even exist or is it only for SDHC?

Oh Canadian shipping, why are you so expensive yet so slow :smith: I look on Newegg.com and there's free shipping everywhere, on .ca there's a few items with free shipping but the rest are all 7+$. Considering how long it takes for something to get here, that's a lot.

Today someone was saying how great their Alienware computer is. I said that they probably could have built their own for cheaper and they said I "don't know shit about computers". He then went on to say that Alienware is way faster and better than Windows 7 and that Windows 7 isn't build for gaming but Alienware is. I said that Windows 7 was an operating system not a computer manufacturer, and he said that he knew that, and that Alienware is still a better operating system. He also said that RAM looks exactly like a hard drive and he knows because he took out the Alienware RAM and put in a "faster gigabyte one". I just don't understand people sometimes.

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;30504130]How does he manage to form sentences with that tiny brain of his.[/QUOTE] I don't even know, and he still won't listen to me when I try to explain that there is a difference between a manufacturer and an operating system. He said he's going to show me the manual and the box it came in because he says it says that "OPERATING SYSTEM: ALIENWARE" is on it.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;30505367]heh android? mine breaks too much[/QUOTE] Getting random crashes when I'm using location services, so I figured I'd try different versions of CyanogenMod and one another ROM. I ended up with CyanogenMod 7.0.3 with no Google apps and ROM Manager doesn't know how to ask for root permissions and thinks my fucking bootloader's not installed. Good thing I keep backups. Good thing I keep backups of backups.

(Not intending to be an ass, just getting the simple questions out the way first)
Good news: Found a copy of FF6 in my roms folder. Awesome. Bad news: Computer has no speakers, and headphone cable isn't long enough to reach. Good news: I can whistle/hum it all from memory (yes, even the 18-minute organ fugue, and the half-hour long opera scene, and the twenty-minute ending theme).

It used the location-services to provide my location for location-specific search results and boom, crash. Going to stock 2.2 tomorrow.
Slight bit of self content. I have an old laptop, the fan of which has been steadily growing worse and worse up till the point where it's only able to push enough air to keep the laptop from dying of heat while it's upside down on a good day. I therefore did the only sensible thing, completely dissassembling the laptop. Or rather I would have done so but I couldn't figure out how to remove the top part of the casing, so I spent three or so days trying everything to get it loose until, by mistake, popping a piece of it loose that was there to prevent removal. After removing the fan, cleaning it out and oiling it a bit I reassembled the laptop only to find that the touchpad didn't work, which meant I dissassembled it again and fixed the touchpad after which the power button stopped working so I dissassemled it another time and the touchpad stopped working again. I spent the entire day reassembling the laptop only to find new and even more interesting issues while reinstalling Windows on my main computer. I think the most interesting part was that I lost one screw, another screw simply dissappeared and two screws that I'd lost last year apparently reappeared in the confusion. TL DR; Spent the entire day sisassembling and reassembling my laptop because the fan needed to be cleaned. If I had taken the time to do a quick google search on the laptop name I'm sure the whole disassembling process would've gone much better. In the end it all worked out though so I'm happy.
[QUOTE=ze beaver;30503864]It takes just as long when it comes from their Canadian warehouse (Somewhere in Ontario) and it's still not cheaper :v:[/QUOTE] They have more frequent Free Shipping deals and cheap shipping from the Mississauga warehouse. It's not slow at all for me, at least from Mississauga it takes a day and a half. Purolator from the states (At least their NY warehouse) isn't as bad as when they used UPS (Would take up to 2 weeks).
god fucking [b]damn it[/b] Apparently changing your CHOST is very very bad. So now I get to reformat and reinstall Gentoo. [h2]AGAIN.[/h2]
Happiest person ever today. Get all my parts for my first computer build, after an hour or so set it up, wire everything up, and about to turn on my brand new computer. Aaaand nothing happens. Figure out I should plug in the motherboard speaker, and I'm greeted to some beeps. Some beeps that are not found anywhere on the internet. As it looks, I'm probably going to have to call MSI tomorrow, and then likely RMA the motherboard and my i5 (which I believe is defective). Sigh.

why are you asking him for his steam account password. [editline]17th June 2011[/editline] "i can get you some free games". does this qualify as bannable?

He was offering to log in and get it on his account.
