My HP Mini 311 has everything accessible from the bottom panel.

Same with my 4 year old Gateway MP8708. I have never had the need to open it beyond the bottom service panel. The only things that have their own panels are the hard drive, and wireless card. Everything else is under one large panel.

I like it when manufacturers actually design stuff to be worked on easily.

Security Questions when signing up for something.

Seriously. Stop that shit.

Put a fake answer in and make it harder for people to even guess.

"What is your mother's maiden name?"

Better than putting her real maiden name so someone can just find it out and get through the security question.

A lot of people from facebook didn't realize that... People always did those stupid quizes and shit and they were always like "What's your stripper name? Use the street you grew up on and first pets name."

Oh that sounds fun...

Until you realize that those are the 2 most common questions that show up on forgotten password dialogs.

"What was your first pets name?"
"What street did you grow up on?"
"What was the name of your first teacher?"
"What hospital were you born in?"

Etc, etc...

It was for the Mythos beta, got a key from someone and it couldn't hurt to check it out.

Although, you apparently needed to answer that to login as well. Glad I didn't do that, or I would have.

(In the end, turns out I had to use mythos-EUROPE.com, rather than mythos.com)

Besides, most questions are either based on information someone could easily find out, or it's the "favorite teacher" kind of question, where you'd forget the answer yourself it you need it.

Laptops without a webcam.

...or built-in webcams below 3.0MP. :argh:

Why do you need a webcam that does over 1080p? If you mean stills, why are you taking stills with a webcam?

Dunno about you, but I can talk to people fine without looking at them all the time.
And I'm not into webcam sex either.

My Samsung matte monitor is stuck tilted 30 degrees to the back. Holy distortion, batman. I have to tilt the damn thing with a calculator.

Not all of them, my inspiron 1525 has to be fully disassembled to even think about cleaning the HSF.

This thing is so beat up, I think only gravity holds it together :v:

[QUOTE=Coffee;29034282]I don't understand backlit keys.

I have a friend who has a Razer Lycosa and whenever I ask him why he needs backlit keys he just gets angry and defensive. It's pointless with touch typing.

They're also too bright so it's actually distracting at times if you're using it at night.[/QUOTE]
I have backlit keys on my G19 and they don't distract me.
I changed them to a light blue colour, I don't even realize they're backlit usually.

The amount of times I've hit it instead of 'Reply' or 'Subscribe' number in the thousands. It's so fucking frustrating.

I probably should've thought about this before posting. It's only now I realise I'll be receiving a boxalanche.

That dumb motherfucker.

[Darkebrz]

I've seen this a few times, and I'd like to note that while I'm not a Mac fan, I still love the keyboard.

I'm typing on a school provided Macbook right now, and I can get about 100 WPM, where before it was maybe 80 with standard keyboards.

[nikomo]

I wish I knew my WPM, the test we did at school measured in characters a minute, not words.

I did like over 5000 characters a minute.

Why would you need to tape the cam over? Doesn't it have an indicator to show it's on? So if it is then leave what you are doing.
