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

Heh. I just had the urge to play some good old UT2004. Just a few quick Last Man Standing rounds. I install it, launch it. It defaults to minimum resolution - 640x480 windowed. On a 1920x1080 screen, it looked TINY. I actually ended up having to edit a config file to get it to run at full resolution - the highest setting in the menu is 1600x900 or something like that. I should have grabbed a screenshot.

Same goes for Bf1942 it would be nice to play it with the same mechanics and all that only with better graphics etc.

Dont forget about the DLC weapon packs in which the ion painter and redeemer are only available in. "UT:Reincarnation BIG BOOM DLC PACK YEAH" - $6.50

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;36937532]Sorry I'm still ol' school.[/QUOTE] I'm disgusted.

[img]http://puu.sh/LK8S[/img] Now using League Gothic. I never knew how easy it was to make Rainmeter skins until now.

XBMC runs impressively well on my Raspberry Pi, especially after overclocking the CPU to 900 MHz. It's funny, the Pi plays back video better than the large, noisy Xbox we're currently using. Now I just need to get the Xbox remote working, which should work out of the box but for some reason it doesn't seem to be picking it up (I have a USB adapter cable for it).

[QUOTE=wlzshroom;36937973]it needs to be aliased[/QUOTE] It is aliased.

[QUOTE=wlzshroom;36937973]it needs to be aliased imo the edges are too sharp and i'm afraid i'll cut myself on them :([/QUOTE] Just fixed it, turns out there's an Antialias=1 for Rainmeter. Won't post a pic unless people actually care about it. Also, I just modified the existing one quite a bit, not actually built it. Not sure why I said made instead of modified.

[QUOTE=Akasori;36938021]It is aliased.[/QUOTE] okay [U]anti[/U] aliased then i'm sorry that i get that confused :v:

Change the items displayed to whatever. But there IS a limit to how small it can get

[QUOTE=altern;36938550]yeah i've hit that limit[/QUOTE] Hide items and also decrease the jumplist item count as well. [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JhDZff8oLso/UBDEBzvq6gI/AAAAAAAACng/LsJiIkQS0as/s0/Untitled.png[/img]

I just opened windows 8 for the first time and played around with it for a while All I can say is "WHY?", who thought that just putting a touch UI on a desktop OS is a good idea

[QUOTE=altern;36938876]dear god teach me[/QUOTE] Right click start button, properties "Customize..." Click the radio button for "don't display this item" for all items Number of recent programs to display and number of recent items in jump lists can go down to 0 [b]Edit:[/b] Glad you were capable of figuring it out yourself

ehh fuck it

I tried out windows 8 in a VM and it confused the hell out of me. The metro thing is interesting, but it's not helpful at all.

Microsoft: Nobody uses the start menu. I disagree. [t]http://i.imgur.com/BCCwr.png[/t]

[QUOTE=nikomo;36938989]Microsoft: Nobody uses the start menu. I disagree. [t]http://i.imgur.com/BCCwr.png[/t][/QUOTE] I use the Start menu quite a bit too, I don't like how Microsoft is turning Metro into a second desktop. However, you can search immediately when opening the start menu, so if you get into that habit early, you'll barely notice the switch when it happens.

Every single app in win 8 is touch oriented You have to use touch gestures for everything The game section sells xbox games instead of pc games The start button is removed so the desktop is now useless I am so sad now, I was looking forward to Windows 8. Why, microsoft?

Android is better with a mouse and keyboard, at least everything in there makes sense

However, you can search immediately when opening the start menu, so if you get into that habit early, you'll barely notice the switch when it happens.[/QUOTE] Yeah you can type to search at the metro screen, but it only searches Apps, and requires extra input to get it to search files or settings, which is often what I'm going for in the first place. I would be totally fine with it if it were still able to search everything simultaneously, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

I don't really use the search bar that much, the only time is when I need an admin cmd (Winkey, cmd, shift-enter). Calculator? Win+R, calc, enter.
