CIPWTTKT&GC v0x14 (v20): Turning it off and on all day every day - Hardware & Software

They're also from a US company and they're A grade panels while Korean ones are typically A-. More expensive though, but less expensive than something like a U2711.

They normally all do. Even just up and down. Also it shows .233 pixel pitch. Fuck.

Dxtory video is 99% finished. Just throwing some reference stuff ontop. Spent way too much time on this.

Skype eats up 35% of my CPU usage, freezes and heats my processor up to 75C unless I underclock it to 1Ghz and turn on power saving gj windows 8

I dunno what's wrong that's skype's normal behavior

It's 22 minutes of talking. Although it is scripted and I never ramble. I think It needs music.

what about some soothing jazz or some blues?

I'm actually looking at some slow jazz or lounge jazz music. I really like free style jazz.

What's the best modem/router combo under $200? I was looking at this: [url]http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=200_1296&products_id=20032[/url] It should work on a normal Optus ADSL connection, right? Any reason why it wouldn't?

Woop, managed to find a brand new Spinpoint F3 1TB, for just 50 euros :D

I replaced Skype with Mumble. It doesn't do video, though push-to-talk is a lot less annoying than hearing everybody's air conditioner and keyboard in the background when everyone is silent.

he must have really thin walls

Newegg's "Live Chat" service is horrible. Why can't they just have a phone service available during weekends but at reduced hours?

Went to Croatia. First time in 48H i found a working WiFi. And even here it is p. slow. Also 2100KM to drive through Europe is fun. Also GPS-s are great. Unless you have old as fuck maps.

[QUOTE=superstepa;37299387]You need to have a server for it though.[/QUOTE] Not hard to get.

Saved these three thinkpad 600 (2 600e and one 600) from the electronics dump, only 1 power adapter though, and they all run win2k. [QUOTE][IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12347804/2012-08-18 13.49.05.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Pretty good for my first "dumpster dive"

I am using IMO.Im on my tablet now and I can use it for skype and steam I don't remember that Skype released apis, so they must have reverse engineered it, how is that even legal?

Retarded tech support is even scarier.

Well, I'm going through my accumulated boxes of computer junk, trying to get it down to just *one* box of computer junk. I'm finding lots of old PS/2 trackball mice, various cables, CD drives. I'm checking eBay to see what's worth the hassle of selling. Naturally, I found something mind-bogglingly retarded: [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coolmax-140mm-Red-UV-Crystal-LED-Cooling-Fan-64-95-CFM-Model-CMF-1425-RD-/270969861740?pt=US_Computer_Case_Fans&hash=item3f170ff66c]$1100+ 140mm cooling fan[/url]
