[QUOTE=Protocol7;38930964]That Atrix lapdock as an extra monitor seems cool, but shit, I don't have enough space on my desk for that. Might as well just buy a monitor for that price too :v:[/QUOTE] The secondary monitor thing was just a little experiment in practicality anyway (and it worked, but still). The cool thing about those lapdock things is that apparently you can make them into modular laptops. You can hook a raspberry pi up so that it's entirely portable with this thing, because it serves as a keyboard, mouse, battery, and monitor. Pretty neat.
That's the only thing I would do with it. :v: I just looked into the cost of monitors and the main monitor I got for $200 last BF is $250 still... Man, if I had a 3rd monitor, I would be happy, but I need a new desk before I can do that.

SSD's need to hurry up getting cheaper.

They're already pretty damn cheap.
A 500GB 840 is still £300 And they need to plug straight into the mobo instead of using sata.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;38933714]And they need to plug straight into the mobo instead of using sata.[/QUOTE] Some mobos do that already. I need one for my x131e for super fast bootup.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;38933714]A 500GB 840 is still £300 And they need to plug straight into the mobo instead of using sata.[/QUOTE] Why even buy an 840, they're pretty crap iirc.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;38933714]A 500GB 840 is still £300 And they need to plug straight into the mobo instead of using sata.[/QUOTE] wait what do you mean by this exactly PCI-E slot SSDs or something?
Got called a hacker for running Mint off a flash drive on my dads old company thinkpad ~skillz~
[QUOTE=latin_geek;38933839]wait what do you mean by this exactly PCI-E slot SSDs or something?[/QUOTE] Similar to how RAM modules plug in i'd imagine.
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;38933859]Got called a hacker for running Mint off a flash drive on my dads old company thinkpad ~skillz~[/QUOTE] I got some people in school who think they are ~hackers~ because they installed backtrack in a VM.
Wow, WinDBG is really fucking useful at debugging bluescreens when you hook it up to the right symbols - where bluescreenview likes to just blame ntoskernel.exe if something strange fucks up, it can find the correct place to blame; for example, this 0x9F bugcheck was blaming the kernel, but if we look at it with windbg: [img]http://s.duck.me.uk/Command_-_Dump_CWindowsMinidump112012-23852-01.dmp_-_WinDbg6.2.9200.16384_AMD64__2012-12-22_17-07-35.png[/img] Try it out next time you've got a BSOD that refuses to go the fuck away. The debugging tools are [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463009.aspx]here[/url] (usbview.exe is also really fucking useful, shows you ports on a tree), and a guide to setting up symbols / using the fucker is [url=http://www.petri.co.il/bsod-troubleshooting.htm]here[/url].

[QUOTE=lavacano;38930734]I really don't see how that's possible except if you count TF2 hats as DLC[/QUOTE] Planetside 2. I've spent $130.
I remember reading an awesome Russian article about recovering from a BSoD without a reboot. In some cases it was possible to get the OS stable enough to do stuff like saving running files and then doing a proper reboot. Shame I can't find it anymore...
[QUOTE=Brt5470;38934110]Planetside 2. I've spent $130.[/QUOTE] I thought the triple SC offer would save me money but nope, might as well get as much as possible.

Windows 8 added Debugging over TCP/IP, before you had to use Serial / Null Modem / Null USB.
sigh 13 days and 19 Steam support messages later and I'm still unable to play the copy of Civ IV my friend bought for me.
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;38934492]sigh 13 days and 19 Steam support messages later and I'm still unable to play the copy of Civ IV my friend bought for me.[/QUOTE] have you tried a different computer
[QUOTE=Shadaez;38934567]have you tried a different computer[/QUOTE] Yes. And 3 different Windows installs. And I've tried reinstalling Steam COMPLETELY multiple times. And I've tried compatibility mode, running as administrator, etc No go. Just this fucking error. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8664592/ShareX/2012-12/Application_error_2012-12-22_13-16-46.png[/img] I don't think this is on my end. At all. But apparently because Steam support doesn't have anything similar to this it MUST be my fault.
[QUOTE=PyroCF;38934129]I thought the triple SC offer would save me money but nope, might as well get as much as possible.[/QUOTE] I bought a subscription and bought some during this sale and the Black friday deal.
