Should I buy a cheapo joystick for games like X3? I don't really want to shell out the big bucks for the saitek X52, as cool as it looks.
[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;39031481]Oh my fucking god, any of you remember that post the other day of the "Nerd Cubed"'s new gaming rig (the retardely expensive cyberpower one with 3 680s), well he just uploaded a new video and one of the cooling pipes came loose when it was on and exploded. [video=youtube;0IoV5nrV4E0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IoV5nrV4E0[/video] Oh god my ribs.[/QUOTE] Cyberpower did something badly? I'M SO SURPRISED. NOT LIKE THEY ARE KNOWN FOR IT. They have fucking "power" in their name.
Shoot by the time I get home tomorrow there's gonna be a new sipwicket. What shall we call it?
cyberpower is known for being a particularly good prebuild brand, I don't know what you guys are on about

I think everytime someone comes up with a name we need to add it to a "Potential Thread names list" in the first post.
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;39033224]Because there is no "alternative to" Apple devices. I'm sorry, but it's true and I'm not being a Macfag here. If you have the budget for the device, explicitly say "like a MBP/A but with Windows" just buy a fucking MBP/A and you've got the device.[/QUOTE] Pretty much true. The dumbs aren't justified in my opinion. I've never owned an Apple device but I used to use a Mac pro on a daily basis. I have a decent budget for my new laptop and it's now a toss up between a Macbook Pro and a Thinkpad W Series. There just isn't anything that directly competes with apple hardware, probably because they are scared they'll get taken to court, Apple's favorite passtime. I want something made of metal, has Firewire, an i5 and a decent battery life. The Thinkpad has a metal frame to it so I'll let it pass. Apple hardware is good hardware, it's just too expensive for what it is, but if that is what you need then the expense is justified. Even then once you start looking at decent windows laptops of comparable quality the price difference starts closing. The Thinkpad actually comes out £200 more expensive if I don't use a coupon code Are there actually any DECENT windows running laptops with a screen that has a resolution greater than 1920x1080?
We should try themes like MAD SCIENCE EDITION where we do dangerous things to old hardware

Do they actually think that it'll make me drop Chrome and switch to IE just because it appeared on my quickbar? What purpose does this serve apart from mildly annoying a few customers?

Edit: And we've had Direct2D for how long and Microsoft still isn't using it in their main apps?

[QUOTE=meppers;39035432]right click > unpin wow worst 2 seconds of ur life[/QUOTE] IE10 is pretty good anyway, most people will have no trouble using it instead of whatever.
Killowatt just told wingless and I that he watches his mom walk around in a thong.
