[QUOTE=Larikang;25986658]My laptop reaches apocalyptic temperatures after gaming for a few hours (and slows to a crawl). I want to clean it out but I can't figure out how to disassemble it enough to clear the dust out.[/QUOTE]
Just blow into the vents really hard while it's running. That worked for me.
Wow, FUCKING wow.
I come home to, I want to move some files over to my newly setup server, Won't connect. Say to myself "Oh great, What the fuck has he done now", I look over to my dads desk to see a windows 2008 R2 server 180 day trial, I yell out "FUCK" and goto my room to see that another spare CRT is hooked up, So I turn on the CRT to see a similar wallpaper as last time on windows shitty UI, and scream out "FUCK" and snap the keyboard across my knee, I goto look for my files. EVERY FUCKING THING IS GONE! Every. Fucking. Thing. My Raid Partition is Destroyed! Fucking gone, My Raid 1 setup is fucking wiped, So I can't even TRY to fucking restore my things! He's installed Server 08 is on one of my 1TB instead of my 80GB which also is wiped, So Now. I have the win 08 server disc in my dads computer right now, I'm going to see how he fucking likes it, I'm going to unpartition his 2'nd drive (Shitty Prebuild) Install Server '08 which deletes everything on ALL partitions so He's going to know my fucking pain, Then I will unplug every fucking thing of his and destroy his mouse by taking it apart, ripping things apart then putting it back together and unhooking his power button. Then I will duct tape both his monitors together and smash his head in with them, He's fucking dead, HALF MY FUCKING LIFE WAS IN THAT SERVER, All my models, Backups, Animations, Renders, Resume's...
He's fucking dead.
FUCK! NOOOOOOOO! FUCK! YES! That was my reaction to that.

Fucking ouch. Next time - set BIOS to only boot from HDD, slap a password on the BIOS so he can't change it. That way, he pretty much has to do the install on another computer, then swap the drives out, in order to do anything to it.
Just some advice on the homicide thing - make sure to frame someone else, and get a good alibi. Also, the "destroy all his stuff" would be rather bad for your defense - it shows motive. I'd give more specific suggestions, but my lawyer is advising me not to.
I left Arch to install overnight and when I got up I had to go, so I didn't get a chance to fix the bios.
Wingless, I'm afraid that you're going to have neuter your dad.
Say this to him, word to word:
"ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT, SERIOUSLY? I HAD FUCKING EVERYTHING ON THAT SERVER AND YOU WIPED IT OUT WITH YOUR SHITTY WINDOWS PIECE OF CRAP"
[QUOTE=wingless;25987705]I left Arch to install overnight and when I got up I had to go, so I didn't get a chance to fix the bios.[/QUOTE]
That sucks.
I think what the real problem is is your dad not respecting your personal property. In all seriousness, talk to him about it - tell him that that is YOUR machine, and that YOU are the one who decides how it's used, not him. I assume you bought and built it yourself?
Oh and make sure to include the whole "I had all my models, resumes etc. on that server and you broke it" part.
Oh I've tried gman, He just says shit like "IT'S IN MY HOUSE, MY RULES, MY THINGS!"
[QUOTE=wingless;25987865]Oh I've tried gman, He just says shit like "IT'S IN MY HOUSE, MY RULES, MY THINGS!"[/QUOTE]
Oh. Well in that case, go ahead with the homicide.
Also, after hearing your story, I'm backing up my backup server to an external hard-drive, which will be kept in a secure location. Just to be completely safe.
Wingless if you want any help fashioning a decent homicide weapon, feel free to PM me.
You might be thinking of projectile weapons, but let me tell you, death by getting beaten with a blunt object is actually a lot worse. Go with a blunt object. Don't go straight for the head, want to keep the pain at maximum.

That's what I was thinking. I know at least twenty different easy fun and profitable blunt weapons that can be made with common household items :buddy:

Well, now, wingless has a tough decision to make. Namely: is the therapy of intense physical violence worth 20-to-life? Bludgeoning someone to death leaves far too many traces - you're quite likely to get caught. However, something like a .50 BMG to the head from half a mile away would be much more difficult to trace, provided you have no ties to the rifle. Less soothing, but safer.
And just an FYI: don't do poisons, unless it can be guaranteed lethal after one dose. Repeated doses => perp had sustained access to victim => perp was close to victim => the kid did it. So arsenic is out, but ricin might work.
The age-old "Is it worth it" debate.
This will never be solved.
I recommend installing Arch into your dad.
Don't worry, I finished doing the shit to my dads computer, The wallpaper says "You're welcome, Dad". When he confronts me about it I'll say "Well if you are so good at running a server, why don't you run your own on your favorite server OS?"
Rated winner because you just won.
Maybe you can recover your HDD.
Files will be a bit scrambled due to some parts being overwritten but depending on how he formatted you might be able to salvage most of your stuff. (worked for me when a girlfriend of mine accidentally installed vista again and wiped her hdd with all her pictures)
Ill post the program I used when I get back from work.
I have some software, Imma try it and hope for the best.
A few days ago I was talking to someone, basically:
Guy: Hey, you know how to code in C++, right?
Me: Not really...
Guy: Do you like know how to make words come on the screen?
Me: Yeah, I guess.
Guy: How do you even get the words though, isn't it all ones and zeros?
Me: Yeah, basically.
What else can I do to my dad, Before he gets home.
Remove his CPU cooler.
Do this, wingless:

You could remove the jumper to the power button on his PC, that's a good one.
You could put a padlock on his PC and mess with all the wires beforehand.
Burn the house down.
I live there to.
[QUOTE=wingless;25989062]I love there to.[/QUOTE]
Rated <3 for bad spelling.
Just burn his part down, or steal his credit card and spend all the money :D (get me new vegas)
Oops.
What happened?
He burnt it all down.
