back when bitcoin first came around and was like 20 cents per coin I was a coin flip away from investing $1000 into it. if I had landed on heads I'd have never needed to work again.

Filtering her though a TV writer (which as we all know removes all knowledge of technology) would basically output a perfect copy of Jen.

[QUOTE=pentium;48164697]Shitty sleeve bearing fans. Need I say more?[/QUOTE] I have one that's over 10 years old. It needs to be re-lubricated every year or so after 3 years of use.
[QUOTE=pentium;48164697]Shitty sleeve bearing fans. Need I say more?[/QUOTE] Sleeves work best when vertical though. I'd imagine those would survive on a front mount.
I replaced my rear case fan a month or so and just discovered that I put it in backwards.

i should just get an ultra tower case, use micro atx parts, and then put a coffee maker inside the case
I just ordered a small single burner hotplate so I can heat up cans of soup and not have to get up to make food. I could easily case mod it into my next pc and say that I'm cooking with nvidia power (tm)

[QUOTE=kaukassus;48164039]I'm kinda glad I never mined bitcoin. Probably wouldn't have gotten something good out of it.[/QUOTE] Every sane person would do the math before investing themselves into it.
My boss and one of my coworkers actually made quite a bit mining and currently are watching the market and moving accordingly.
It's been much more steady recently than it used to be. I've got like 0.2 bitcoins or something and I check prices every now and again to see if they're doing something silly like reaching $1000 again.
Yeah, it's gone up with the whole Greece thing though. Whenever a country is close to a major financial failure point it rises.

I still don't understand how.

All this Bitcoin talk makes me wish my laptop didn't go kaput with my wallet. I could have been so much richer by now. Managed to scrape together [I]two whole coins[/I] through gambling without investing any cash into it back in 2011-12. Then the laptop fried itself with a bad processor. Granted, this was back when a single Bitcoin barely covered a cheap meal from Wendy's (around ~$5USD per 1BTC) so I wasn't too worried about losing ten potential bucks. ...And then it became hundreds of dollars per coin a few years down the road.
I wonder what I could mine with a Fury X card.... But then again, hydro costs and it's summer...
Shit like that iis why I keep all my old hard drives and have them all backed up on my 2nd hdd, in a folder Labelled "graveyard"

[QUOTE=Birdman101;48166593]Oh, thank you, I feel much better knowing my question was so masterfully answered.[/QUOTE] any day bro! EDIT: But seriously though, "files" is the actual answer. A properly configured HTTP page shouldn't allow you to navigate and download the content of a directory like that. It would return a 503 forbidden error instead.
