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

[QUOTE=magravn;37065603]Most likely by a power surge in the telephone line :([/QUOTE] Thanks, you just reminded me I didn't have the phone line connected to the surge board

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;37065979']Well fuck, my ZM-VE 200 SE's logic board just died, not only that, i've got about 10 days to sort ~20 clients PCs out. :suicide:[/QUOTE] Zalman support isn't [I]too [/I]bad. I was disappointed that they didn't send me a VE300 though.

Just checked my fragmentation on my notebook. 56% FUCK Time to defrag

What I really love about real filesystems is that even without ever defragmenting the amount of non-contiguous files on my /home partition is a few percents at most.

Installed Windows 8 on laptop. I don't like it. The only way I've found to shut down Metro apps is Alt-F4. Escape and backspace do nothing. And it just feels awkward switching between real applications and Metro applications.

And it just feels awkward switching between real applications and Metro applications.[/QUOTE] Microsoft thought it would be smart to have Windows 8 as a desktop OS, but what's missing is that the keyboards don't have a fucking back button like my phone does.

I can sort of understand Microsoft with not wanting applications to be closed, exactly like on Android. The thing being, when I navigate between programs on Android, I can understand it showing a lot of stuff, because I can just press what I want, but on the desktop, I have to go through the programs with alt-tab, and if you have a lot of programs, it's slower than task-switching on a touch screen.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37067589]Metro apps are like Android apps, they stay open for as long as your system has the resources to support them.[/QUOTE] Better than the iOS version of multitask "Keep everything open until the the currently active app runs out of memory and crashes"

I like how my dad thinks my computer is full of nothing but viruses and that's why my windows computer would slow down Anyways I am forced to look for his fucking nail clipper or "else"

And the worst thing is, his only defense for not buying a new one is,."i've had it for twenty years"

[QUOTE=kaze4159;37067811]Better than the iOS version of multitask "Keep everything open until the the currently active app runs out of memory and crashes"[/QUOTE] iOS doesn't have anything near true multitasking so this never happens

Also he was thinking to upgrading to 7, but a lot of the programs he uses aren't compatible with 7. Compatibility mode?

windows ME was my favorite windows because of the themes (and because it's the OS I had before the internet and XP and other stuff like that) [video=youtube;FoEXKs8oD94]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoEXKs8oD94[/video]

I used to have Windows ME until ~2006 Then I switched to Windows XP because I wanted to play Just Cause 1 Funny thing is, later I switched to 7 so I can play Just Cause 2

Never got an answer in quick questions so here it goes. Can I create a Wireless AP with my ASUS RT56U using my computer as the source? My plan is to receive the internet via a wireless usb stick, bridge that and my LAN port and connect the LAN port to my router set-up in AP mode so I can just connect to that router on other devices.

I got my Nexus 7 today, Facepunch Is actually smooth on it. Impressive.

I have no fucking idea what has happened, but my minecraft has started running from 20-50FPS to 50-100FPS.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;37073193]I've also noticed that it updates chunks SERIOUSLY FASTER. Usually it used to update depending on your frame rate but now it goes above your frame rate.[/QUOTE] That's wierd. I watched some people streaming MC and they said that they have more FPS even with livestream/recording in the background.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;37073193]I've also noticed that it updates chunks SERIOUSLY FASTER.
