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

This is REALLY fucked up. A friend's having trouble getting to her Amazon EC2 hosted box, but I can. Ok, she can't get to Amazon either, but I can. Despite we're connecting to the same IP. But here we go, I can't ping from my US VPS, but I can get there in links, so I try to ping her EC2 box and can't and I can't get there with links either. So someone at Amazon or a switching facility has really dropped the ball here.

What's some must have programs for multi monitor setups?

A proper OS, drivers what support multi-monitor setups. But whatever made the taskbar over multi monitors are great. Think it was displayfusion.

Guess whose authenticator fingerprint is FUBAR...

[QUOTE=superstepa;36939037]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?[/QUOTE] Keyboard shortcuts. For example, you don't have to "Pull up" on the "lock screen", just press any key and it will move out of the way. Windows key to open the start menu, just start typing to do a search (Which by the way, feels quicker than doing a search in Windows 7) Windows+X to get quicker access to things that would normally be hidden through a few screens or need precise searching (eg. Network Connections, you have to completely type "Network Connections" to bring it up in the start menu is now in the Windows-X menu) Powering off the computer and putting it to sleep can be handled by the FN+Sleep button on my laptop or by pressing the power button to shut it down. Windows-I for the settings menu Lastly, trying it out in a VM is not a good experience. When I did it, hot corners didn't make any sense because there were no corners (The cursor would drift off the "screen"). When I tried it out on my old laptop, it began making sense and changed my opinion from "This is an abortion of an operating system" to "This is just a little different and I will leave it on my laptop".

I left my computer on to finish downloading tf2 and bf3 last night, I guess it went into standby the second I fell asleep because the bars didn't move at all

Friend said his classmates computers are piece of shits. Ehh, cant be that bad I thought. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32264365/lambi/sittr%C3%B6ster.JPG[/img] Also a story of he went to play LOL with three of his classmates.

I think I'm going to install my 690 in my current rig tonight to see what it's like.

Cut it into three, I want a piece of it too.

fucking finally managed to sell those 2 4870s, the guy's gonna come pick them up at 5 PM..$85 for both of them isn't too bad considering their age and the fact that I don't have any of the original boxes and shit, right? :v:

So, just installed it. Have a few pictures! First a comparison between a GTX 570, it really isn't that much bigger tbh.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;36947269]ASUS P8P67 PRO[/QUOTE] Bugger, they just look similar.

whoah i just found out that I can get a 690 for $600 should I go for it?

That's not really a huge discount imo. Unless you have the money and actually needs an upgrade, then no.

[QUOTE=Turing;36948362]whoah i just found out that I can get a 690 for $600 should I go for it?[/QUOTE] Don't you already have 2 7970s....

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;36948760]That's not really a huge discount imo. Unless you have the money and actually needs an upgrade, then no.[/QUOTE] It's like 40% off, I'd say that's a giant discout.

I keep thinking the 690 costs around the same price of 590 at launch

[QUOTE=Turing;36948362]whoah i just found out that I can get a 690 for $600 should I go for it?[/QUOTE] Not if you already have two 7970, it'd be a total waste.

[QUOTE=Turing;36948362]whoah i just found out that I can get a 690 for $600 should I go for it?[/QUOTE] Where would you get it from?

we should all go and share a flat in Kansas you guys

Oh wow. I recorded 20 minutes of skype chat of my friend reading a story and others were laughing as it. 20 minutes for a FB wall page. 20 fucking minutes. Also a story of an executioner in middle ages. That was fun. Now I just have to use effort and stitch this shit together in Vegas, add pictures and shit and make it funny and then it is funky.
