[QUOTE=pentium;44001958]Get that case.
Get one of those shitty PSU's in the clear acrylic case.

Buy a proper power supply you can trust to not fuck you over or emit more RFI than a microwave and put its guts in the clear PSU enclosure.[/QUOTE]

Still got my 2002 PS2. Still a damn good system.
Whoa I just noticed that top PS2 doesn't have Firewire/i.Link.

at which point did my life go so terribly wrong
Monthly also means that if you don't put out videos monthly, people will stop giving you money, which sounds like a pretty good incentive to put out content regularly[/QUOTE]What's the firewire for in the bottom one? Can you plug a video camera into it or network or something?
I have found the VAIO P makes a perfect hot water bottle that never goes cold. It has a use!

Vaio P's aren't that bad. They are actually able to function if you stick a lightweight enough distro on them.

I'm running 8.1 on it and its reasonable. With the latest drivers and flash player, 720p yt playback is possible, not so under Linux due to lack of proper GMA500 driver.

Fine, I'll make my NAS end up like what everyone says. Just to horribly distract people watching TV downstairs, and for scientific purposes. (Our router is on the drawer below the TV)
Anyhow, I'll take pictures of that case when he comes here tomorrow.
Anyone here from Queensland? I've got this script kiddie who thinks hes a master DDOSer that I'm trying to deal with. I have his home address and phone number and just need to know where the correct place to report it would be.

I once had to deal with a Script Kiddie, that had been DDOSing my Gmod server back in the day.
The server was for me and friends only, but was still public.
He joined and fucked shit up, so he got a kick. Then he proceeded to DDOS my server.
Unfortunately for him, he had a static IP. I've found this out, cause he joined a few days later, And the IP was still the same.
So I did the thing, every person that has money would do.
Bought some cheap VPS's, and proceeded to fuck the living shit out of his tiny connection.
I left the thing running for about a week. Never heard of him after that, and the DDOS's stopped.

Picturebooks were the shit. I wish I knew a place where I could find the recovery CD's for mine.
Also, welp. Just after midnight yesterday my phone dropped the connection and that was it folks. CDMA is dead.

Farewell StarTAC. You served your purpose with honor. ;-;7
So in its place I traded in my broken spare StarTAC for a free replacement. An LG A341.

No bells and whistles. It's another flip with a million year battery and I got bluetooth again so I can use my [url=http://www.home-electronics.net/ge/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=158]POTS bridge[/url]!
Right, so I'm back to the dreadful world where direct filesystem access is a house of cards. Because Bitpim doesn't support it, what applications are there I can use to get into the phone?
The display on that StarTAC is oddly quite sexy.
So, I have been talking with my friend, he would like to sell it.
How much money would he be able to get from this acrylic cookie drum?

Negative money.

Yeah then we're going to edit its appearance and performance with a hammer tomorrow.
Thank you for this relieving answer.
Man, Microsoft can't do anything right. Anyone with a Ford vehicle with Sync should understand my pain. For whatever reason it refuses to do "Call Mom" or "Call Dad." It also is pretty rubbish at being a GPS system and the voice commands in general are pretty inconsistent.

It's easier just to use Siri on my phone to do everything, including nav.
Every time we get in our car a nice lady notifies us that "Phone is unavailable". We're not really sure why.

We figure it's got something to do with the OnStar system that's built into the car but we've never activated

That's another thing Sync does. If my dad or I drive mom's truck, it will connect with her phone if she's still in the house when we leave, but then about 5 minutes after we leave, it pauses whatever it's doing and says PHONE DISCONNECTED for about 15 seconds on the screen, before resuming whatever it was doing. Like, there is no reason for it to do that when 2 other previously paired phones are in the vehicle.
I wish I had a transparent case when my 8600 broke, I lumped the dust in the fan together when cleaning with the intention that when I turned my PC on again the fan would kick the dust out. It ended up stopping the fan, then came GTA 4 and shortly after RIP.
Fans these days seem that they would be able to deal with it but I'm not taking any chances.
Whoo. Made a somewhat working client out of Javascript.

I tried to call my dad today but during the dialing phase, my phone decided that it is going to spaz the fuck out and start playing some music, open viber and close it, open opera and go to facebook.
This screen hates cold. for fucks sake, I tried to open FP but it completely disagreed with me and went to the gallery.

I had this before with my Nexus S. It's super annoying.
My tf201 does that randomly, the only way to fix it is to gently bend the whole tablet
Now that I think of it, I haven't touched that thing since I got my Nexus 5 :v:
the only use it's going to get now is for taking notes at uni
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;44003384]What's the firewire for in the bottom one? Can you plug a video camera into it or network or something?[/QUOTE]
The firewire (sony called it i.Link) port was used to network multiple consoles together. There were only a few games that supported it and even fewer that supported more than 2 consoles (using a firewire hub) but I heard it was quite spectacular playing Gran Turismo in a network with 4 PS2s and 4 TVs.
It was also used for debugging I think (since it's way faster than the USB 1.1 ports, something like 4-8 MB/s realistically and up to 40 theoretically) but since it was barely used it was removed after a couple hardware revisions.
Also, the top PS2 (50001, I think) has an IR receiver which my old one lacks, I wish I could just rip it out and put it in the old one because I've seen some original remotes for it a local store is trying to get rid of...

I remember there was some stuff the old PS3 could do that none of the newer ones could. Buy a PS4 now guys, before they removal any cool feature in the next revision.
Yeah Sony has a track record for that, but to be fair the only cool thing I remember the first PS3 could do was play PS2 games (and that's because they stuck a GS+other PS2 hardware in it and tried to sell it for $600)
RIP pressure sensitive buttons, they should've removed sixaxis instead

IIRC, you can get an IR receiver that plugs into a controller port.
