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

[img]http://i.imgur.com/HcrlQ.png[/img] Just did this on my Nexus S. I know quadrant is a shitty benchmark but that was fun.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;37507758]Christ. I thought you meant the new celeron series not to mention the old E series. Hmm. That's quite a thing, except it would need to be capable of handling 1080P which I doubt(except if it had a discrete low powered GPU) I'll look further but I did see that G840s are considerably cheap and performance is excellent when coupled with/without a GPU.[/QUOTE] The E3300 will handle 1080p just fine.

Yay, I'm watching the legit, retail DVD of The Guard and PS3 disables the audio because Cinavia thinks its illegal since its not on Blu-Ray. DRM at its finest. The "Thank you for respecting copyrights and purchasing a legal product" text on the case didn't help my anger management either.

[QUOTE=benjgvps;37505465]OH MY FUCK [url]http://forums.blackmesasource.com/showthread.php?p=480683#post480683[/url][/QUOTE] So they're only releasing the game up to (and not including) Xen? That actually makes a bit of sense. Making Xen fun is going to take years and years of work.

[QUOTE=Turing;37509821]how do people still buy that thing, surely not all they do is game?[/QUOTE] I do not see any other reason to buy a PS3 than playing PS3-exclusive games. (Because most others work better on PC anyway, sans crappy ports which could then too be played on the PS3.) That is exactly why I have a PS3, by the way. And your reaction is odd. The aim of big companies seems to be that anything capable of playing digital media would be incapable of playing unauthorised copies of such products. HDMI content protection already theoretically works on all systems using digital monitor cables, for instance. Saying "You can't watch pirated shit on PS3?" is like "Holy shit, I never knew Sony didn't want people to download movies and shit instead of buying them!"

[QUOTE=Turing;37509821]wait are you serious you cant watch pirated shit on ps3? how do people still buy that thing, surely not all they do is game?[/QUOTE] Nope its the opposite. Most pirate releases have transcoded audio where Cinavia won't alert. You can't watch legit shit like this though.

[QUOTE=mblunk;37510561]Only your I/O is faster, everything else is the same.. is I/O internal memory or SDcard, or both? Are you using a different scheduler?[/QUOTE] It's completely stock and doesn't have an sd card slot, also GTA 3 is running if you look at the top, don't know if that will make a difference.

wooo, got a new lightbulb for my desklamp.

[QUOTE=tratzzz;37511119]wooo, got a new lightbulb for my desklamp.[/QUOTE] Does it still induce seizures?

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;37511217']Does it still induce seizures?[/QUOTE] Well I am not posting it from an hospital, so no. The lightbulb for our fishies is still broken though, so they can either have a disco or they can have a polar night.

Well in wiping and updating my friend's laptop, it turns out HP introduced an illegal character in their somewhere in the SMBIOS data with one of their newer BIOSes, and WinSAT doesn't bother to sanitize the strings, so it tries writing these characters to an XML file and fails, thus the machine can never be rated. Now I'm stepping the BIOS back revision by revision until I get one that works.. I've already flashed 3 and no luck so far. This might just be the dumbest thing I've ever had to fix. [b]Edit:[/b] Of course HP doesn't host the revision this laptop came with in the first place so I had to go all the way back to trying a version even older than that, and the problem even happens there. Fuck you, HP.

I was really close to buying a Bitfenix Prodigy, though I looked up the height and pulled out a measuring tape. It's almost as tall as my current mid-tower case... No thanks.

I'm probably late, but I'm just catching up on things in my 2 week absence. I just learned of the Java incident where some big 0-day exploit was discovered. The comments make for great content. Most of them go like this: [quote]Good thing I never update Java, or I would have gotten infected![/quote] Congratulations, by never updating Java you're leaving yourself vulnerable to dozens upon dozens of old malicious exploits that were properly patched.

Since I'm not certain on the best drive, what should I replace my seagate with?

Starting uni on the 10th and onwards presumably and now is the time bms decides to release.

What IS currently the safest version? The latest? Or staying slightly outdated? I know every version of Java is (apparently, so I've heard) riddled with exploits, I just wanna know which is the safest one. I'm going to assume the latest version, but I want to hear an expert opinion since I'm not very smart.

You just don't run any Java applets you don't trust.

[QUOTE=SataniX;37513727]All versions of Java are easily exploitable.

Or are they all stupid and I should stop listening to anyone who isn't you guys?

Some versions have the exploit, but it's rare from what I've heard. [editline]2nd September 2012[/editline] There is a whole lot of sensationalism though.

Yeah, this particular Java exploit is getting tons of news, but there are Java zero-day exploits all the time. I got bit by one myself a few years back; ever since I've left the Java plugin disabled (desktop apps are fine). Must be a slow news week, or maybe some big event that "they" don't want to hit the news...

Personally, I keep the Java plug-in for my browser uninstalled at all times. It's not like I'm suffering without it either, I have only ever ran into ~2 things that required it

Maybe you could combine it with some more general Windows exploit to do so, though?

There are only three main things I dislike about HTML5 1) The formats for the video tag and friends aren't standardised 2) Semantic elements. HTML doesn't need semantic elements. They are not useful because header is equivalent to a div with the id "header", for instance. 3) It replaced XHTML 2, which had cool stuff like the section system that allowed you to have as many levels of headings as you wanted to. (Not that you'd ever need all that many, though.) The first one can be fixed, the second one has been automagically corrected because nobody seems to [I]use[/I] the semantic elements and the third one is a personal issue of mine which mostly has to do with me having waited for actual XHTML 2 support in browsers.

Most browsers already support CSS3 proper for the most part, I think. The video format issue is just going to last much longer because of reasons. (Everyone wants a different one to be standard, namely.)

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37513956]I wish plugins like Java & Flash would hurry up and die off. Soon the HTML5 spec will just about cover all of the main functionality they previously had.[/QUOTE] Flash will probably die off fast because it's mainly used for stuff that can easily be replaced by other technologies, but Java? In plugin-format, Java might actually die, but on the whole, not a chance.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37514309]Yeah, you are right. All I've seen Java used for on the web is the Nvidia GPU detector, Youtube Downloader and Runescape. And Runescape is transitioning to HTML5.[/QUOTE] Even then, 2 out of 3 of those have non-java alternatives

I've seen Java used in online banking (to provide crypto functions etc.), at least Nordea uses some Java applet thing they've made. I'm not a customer of theirs, but I've seen a guy log in to the service. And we all know how bloody slow large corporations, especially banks, are when it comes to transitioning to new technologies.
