Fucking love my new internet
My torrent client has seeded more data than the total amount of space I have on my computer.
So far it looks like the AVIfix function in dxtory rescued the file. Just doing a avi integrity check with virtualdub on the finished file.
I just realised how often I employ the "rubber duck debugging" technique. My coworkers probably think im going insane.
I want a razer deathadder minus the razer parts. I have a g500 and I still miss my old deathadder, just not the obnoxious software and glowing green snake thing on the palm
[IMG]http://imgur.com/dsuPi1I.png[/IMG]
I don't seed on my home connection.
Does anyone know a way I can have twitch stream in the corner of my browser constantly? I use firefox.

It's a mouse. You don't need the driver.
I had a lot to lose with that file.

And it even has both audio files. The error check was fine, but I won't know 100% until I begin editing it.
Accidentally sent Blizzard a picture of my desk and not my government ID. Guy complimented me on my Model M and apparently he's also a lefty. Also somehow have a $20 credit on my Battle.net account after that call. Wicked sick guy.
Well Dxtory yet to has that option, but I'd like to have it split like every 20minutes or 30 minutes or something.

The Blizzard support people are pretty rad.
When I had a friends/family account I has some weird account issue and the guy wanted to give me a free month, but instead he upgraded my Cata expansion to the digital deluexe version.

I've been wondering a bit.
What is the best Intel socket to get today, in the sense of chipsets, GPU and CPU performance? Looking at everything there is, i can't really make up my mind.
[editline]27th July 2014[/editline]
And it's a fairly broad question i guess, but primarily for gaming, and if i went for a 780Ti card. What would suit it the best? What would benefit a GPU like that the most?
I don't even know if there is much of a difference, if there is it's in the realm of a percentage or less.
Which one would be most likely to receive upgrades or hardware more into the future than the other, then? i.e. cpu-wise?
You just mean scalability in CPU? Well they are all roughly equal. I'm on Ivybridge Z77 3770k and it's very fast, even for my video editing and rendering. It's a powerhouse still.
Really the only cutting edge consumer stuff you could do is I think Ivybridge-E which I think it's the 4930k on X89 or something. But Z67, Z77, Z87 or whatever just have their normal set of CPU's like the 4770k, 4570k, etc.
I don't know of each one having an edge over another in terms of future scale.

For most users, LGA1150 - it works with Haswell and will work with Broadwell when it comes out. If you absolutely [I]need[/I] a fucking beast of a computer (read: over $5000), LGA2011 is there, but I'd wait for LGA2011-3 and Haswell-E. But you don't need one of those.
As far as chipsets for LGA1150, Z97 is the only thing I'd recommend for a medium/high-tier gaming rig. It's forward-compatible with Broadwell, and has basically every feature they offer.
Most games don't need an absurd amount of CPU power - a top-end i5 is usually enough to move the bottleneck back onto the GPU on anything less than triple-SLI setups.
[QUOTE=lekkimsm;45514945]Which one would be most likely to receive upgrades or hardware more into the future than the other, then? i.e. cpu-wise?[/QUOTE]
LGA1150 since that's the only one supported right now.

God dammit, this is slighty unsettling.
Every so now and then, i tend to look at hardware, and imagine builds i could go for, if money and that were all for it.
But for the first time, having to watch the budget, i actually can't reach a conclusion, as to what motherboard i'd want for my next build.
All those fucking features, onboard sound, graphical BIOS and all that shit ... Urgh!
IMHO, I've always hated integrated graphics and sound. Offloading that shit to cards meant it was easier to upgrade later or replace if it failed.
The problem is that these days the slot arrangements suck compared to back when it was

how come the positioning "sucks" compared to older placement? I don't see any disadvantage to it, and considering how thick GPUs are these days I'd rather have some space between them
and again, whats wrong with on board stuff? if you really don't like it or they somehow break, all you need to do is insert something dedicated and it's pretty much replaced

Well, most video cards are double-width. Leaving a blank slot under the first x16 makes sense, since most people won't be able to use it and PCIe links are limited. Leaving a blank spot or an x1 under the second x16 is also useful for SLI - an x1 is compromise, because it's usable if you have a single-width card (like a PCIe SSD) but it doesn't waste much if it's blocked by a second video card.
PCI only shows up because of sound cards, which nobody made PCIe versions of until recently for some reason. They've started to disappear lately, I've noticed, leaving just PCIe x16, x4 and x1.

I think the most CPU hungry thing games wise for me is PS2 and Wii emulation, but then again that's to be fucking expected due to the nature of the beast. I find my i5 2400 absolutely fine apart from that converting my Blu-ray rips (Which isn't that often at all.).
Still, why the fucking x1 at the very top? Put the x16 there. Naturally the video card has ALWAYS taken the top slot.
Something like this:

...is all the average person needs. You can fit three dual width video cards and an x1 accessory or two double width cards, a single width x16 device, PLUS one PCI and one x1 device...OR two triple width cards and an x1 device.

Just get the cheapest name-brand that has the features you want. Graphical BIOSes or slightly different integrated sound is hardly anything to get your head wrapped about.

I can't speak for every mobo, but on mine at least I don't think I'd even be able to put a GPU into the top slot if it was an x16 slot. there's just not be enough space from the GPU to the mobo heatsink, which could be the reasoning behind it

Extra-large CPU coolers. Some are big enough to block the top expansion slot. Putting an x1 in a slot that might be blocked is once again a good compromise.
Why does the GPU need to be in the top slot? Seriously, what actual benefit does that give, besides pacifying your OCD? Putting a small wifi card or something above it won't hurt it in the least.
