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

[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;36832190]So I just did a google translation for that much money. Excuse me while I spend like at max 5 grand on the PC and then, from the remaining money, $34k on a truck.[/QUOTE] buy two cheaper trucks instead and put them in RAID 1 for redundancy

[QUOTE=esalaka;36832319]buy two cheaper trucks instead and put them in RAID 1 for redundancy[/QUOTE] Is this how you RAID trucks? [video=youtube;RXUmh3WOypc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXUmh3WOypc[/video] Also, that Ram is dumb for even trying. You can't beat a diesel in terms of torque for pulling. I love how he's just sitting there smoking and the diesel just pulls him.

[QUOTE=esalaka;36832319]buy two cheaper trucks instead and put them in RAID 1 for redundancy[/QUOTE] Drive 2 cars at once to make sure you arrive at your destination

Attach one car on top of the other and make it so that the person in the top car controls the steering while the person in the bottom car controls everything else. WHAT COULD GO WRONG??

[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;36832190]So I just did a google translation for that much money. Excuse me while I spend like at max 5 grand on the PC and then, from the remaining money, $34k on a truck.[/QUOTE] I'd spend far more than $5k. Motherboard capable of handling the following: ~$1000 Dual Xeon E5-2687Ws - ~$4000 24x 8GB DDR3-1600 ECC: ~$2000 2x GeForce 690: $2000 2x 1TB PCIe SSDs: $3000 10x 3TB hard drives (RAID 10): ~$2000 6x 2560x1600 monitors: ~$9000 Add another $2000 for a nice case, redundant PSUs (I think three 600W ones should work well), whatever keyboard and mouse I want, and some nice speakers (and by "nice" I mean "weapons-grade" - you should hear my boot sound from the next county over). Comes out to... about $25000. Leaves $15000 to buy a nice car (or, more likely, every game on Steam, then pay for a massive Internet connection for a few years).

Is there coming anything new on Android ? Im waiting for windows phone 8 as well, but im curious if i should try out something new like a wp8 or stay on android. The only experince i have from android is on my HTC Wildfire which really isn't that much of great device , laggy browsing etc.

I was also considering three trucks in RAID 5 but I'm not sure of how you apply the concept of parity to four-wheeled vehicles [editline]19th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Strikebango;36832594]Is there coming anything new on Android ?

WP8 is pretty cool, but the app/community is tiny compared to iOS and Android. I'd consider the next Nexus phone when it comes out.

I don't really care so much about app's but i want at least steam on it.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;36832911]I lost my laptop charger and now I'm running like a ninja to go find it. It's at 4% right now. Fuck god help me.[/QUOTE] Stop posting and go find it.

Damn it I bricked my sgsI (Because I am a total idiot) Where can you buy a phone without a contract in Canada?

What does torque have to do with anything if the wheels just spin.

[editline]18th July 2012[/editline] Place all the trucks in a triangle and weld them together. if one fails the other two can still drive and steer the whole thing.[/QUOTE] It's a combo of the traction and torque. Say we put them both on racing slicks with a prepped surface. The diesel will win every time. Plus, normally on diesel vehicles they weigh more, thus more weight on the tires plus more torque equals you winning with the diesel and losing with anything else. Powerstrokes seem to do the best at towing, as Dodge's Cummins can't get power to the wheels fast enough. Once the power GETS THERE though, it's amazing. I've never seen anything with a Duramax but they work just about as well.

[QUOTE=superstepa;36833010]Damn it I bricked my sgsI (Because I am a total idiot) Where can you buy a phone without a contract in Canada?[/QUOTE] Craigslist or Kijiji, eBay, Newegg.ca, NCIX. You can get phones without a contract from the Rogers/Bell/Telus stores if you're willing to pay the full price. I like buying phones lightly used off of Kijiji (Or craigslist, whatever is used more in your area) since they're a lot cheaper and are usually in good condition since glass screens are a lot more difficult to scratch. EDIT: Made $40 today mowing lawns, after the ten copies of Just Cause 2 my profit for the day was about $3. Totally worth it, giving is a lot more fun that buying games for myself that I won't end up playing.

I got the adapter to replace my DVD drive with a 2.5" SATA HDD, though they fucked up and the faceplate was a few mm too long and the "button" was screwed into the adapter, preventing the adapter from fully sliding in. After shaving it down and ruining one screw hole, I said "Fuck it" and put it in sans-faceplate until I can go to the hardware store and glue it together. I'm debating if I want to rip the tabs off the old DVD drive's faceplate and make the laptop look "stock", though it's possible that I may use the drive again... As of now, it looks pretty ghetto: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QPhjn.jpg[/IMG]

Guys I have an extremely weird question. Can anyone else taste colors? No I'm not PUI this is a legitimate question. Most of FP has some disorder or is gay or something so I figured I wouldn't be alone.

The red tasted like cherry, the white tasted like coconut, and the fucking blue tasted like blue. Like if you imagined what blue would taste like if it was a food, that was it. And I thought I could feel colors one time. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] But we don't talk about that one time anymore.

I'm shooting a project at work and I'm working with another guy and a girl. He's the actor, she's sort of the director of the project. I'm the guy with the gear and editing experience. I appear in one scene while we're just checking the script and I realize I look so... ugly on camera. It's really odd. I don't know if it's my manurisms, but anytime I shoot myself for a video alone I think I look great. Maybe it's because I have control over lightning and stuff. But my beard looks so red against my face and I smile like I'm a fucking retard. The way I look around makes it seem like I'm some sort of autistic child. And when I watch back the video of us just talking I sound so incredibly rude and annoying like a child. But I never feel that way in reality. It's honestly depressing when I watch this back. I would punch myself in the face if I were watching on the side. How can I act like such a dick and look like a fucking retarded kid, yet feel completely in my element in social environments. It's really becoming painful because normally when I'm around people I see myself as unawkward and if people have an issue they can bring it up, yet when I watch it back I feel like I'm watching another person acting like a jerk with no sympathy to anyone besides himself. It's terrible.

you're probably being overly critical of your own appearance like everyone else
