Well, everything depends if there's a class in the computer lab I'm in.

Just thought of something - maybe the laptop model I wanted was discontinued because it's about to be replaced with an Ivy Bridge version? About how long does it take after a new processor comes out for new laptops to come out based on it?

Good job Microsoft, I had to actually [I]google[/I] how to close a Metro app because, who could've though about our beloved rarely-used Windows key, instead of allowing Esc to go back and close apps just like Android. Windows 8 isn't even consistent, you can't even slide through your homescreen with a mouse (You'd expect a mouse to work the same as a touchscreen for a touchscreen-oriented UI) I'm not even going to consider installing Windows 8 unless there is a way to disable Metro and have all Metro apps run in a window, not fullscreen. [I]And who the hell was the idiot that decided to put the shutdown/restart buttons in settings?[/I]

Idle [t]http://i.imgur.com/ghvHd.jpg[/t] Load [t]http://i.imgur.com/2sEUg.jpg[/t] I have never seen either card go above 70, usually they hit around 60~65ish but with 70 being the maximum. I need to dust them out and reapply some thermal paste I guess.

Why must you torture me with pictures of your game working?

[I]And who the hell was the idiot that decided to put the shutdown/restart buttons in settings?[/I][/QUOTE] You can snap apps to the edges, so they fill a ~1/3 of the screen. Very useful on my laptop, as it's resolution isn't very big, and it's cmbersome to resize and manage windows without being able to use "snap". You don't close Metro apps. They close themselves when you need RAM. I only use Windows 8 with a touchpad, but it's very enjoyable in my experience, especially since I arranged them in groups. You can put your cursor out to one side and in that way slide through the start screen. I wouldn't recommend it over scrolling, though.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;35140857]I skipped Spanish all the time. Failed with flying colors.[/QUOTE] Same with German, Even though i had like 99 % attendance :v: [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] Missed new page, need to stop doing that

While they may not change the UI, Microsoft might put a small walkthrough in there - I don't know. While it's true that it's not entirely logical (I myself had no problems with adapting), his father seemed to be more confused with computers than most people. He was apparently still running XP, as well. Look at the Mac OSX stuff, it isn't much better.

[QUOTE=altern;35141246]Why must you torture me with pictures of your game working?[/QUOTE] Because I didn't by it from site that sells keys?

[QUOTE=Shadaez;35139964]What happens when you load the game? If it's just in russian you didn't edit the registry correctly, if you're getting an unlimited loading screen you did the registry edit and didn't do the files right.[/QUOTE] all right. i tried to edit the registry with the .reg file, the "language switcher" program, as well as manual. The thing is [img]http://puu.sh/kLOg[/img] I don't have the GDFBinary thing for me to change the value of, and the others are already set to en_us

Also: Since I graduate in a few weeks, I'm going to start bringing stacks of blank CDs to school so I burn copies of all the shit we get via MSDNAA. I checked today, there's some pretty neat shit: Windows 8, with debug symbols Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 Windows Server 2003/2008/2008R2/8 MS-DOS 6.22 Office (full, with absolutely everything) Like 20 versions and addons for Visual Studio (Kinect SDK? XNA? Hell yes) And probably a bunch more shit. Anything in particular anybody wants me to look for?

[I]And who the hell was the idiot that decided to put the shutdown/restart buttons in settings?[/I][/QUOTE] You can close a metro app by clicking and dragging the top of the app downwards or using Alt-F4. Windows key keeps it open until another application needs the RAM. As for the "you can't even slide through your homescreen with a mouse", are you talking about the "Start" menu? I can just move the cursor to the edge of the screen and it moves.

I would use Metro on a device that has a trackpad or a touchscreen. I will never use it on a desktop. It just doesn't seem right.
