Discovering Pentium 4 Dell has removable motherboard tray and generally better case than newer Dells.

That's how I use two FP accounts. Except Firefox is unbelievably slow (read: 5 minutes) to start up on my computer, so I almost never use GMan003.

Long-standing bug with Live Bookmarks (imagine an RSS feed as a bookmark folder). All Live Bookmarks are refreshed on startup, in the main thread (instead of a worker thread or something). That means the browser essentially has to update every RSS feed before it can finish starting.
I have over 200 webcomics I read as Live Bookmarks. And some of them (coughtorderofthestickcough) decided that they want every single one of their 1000+ issues in the RSS feed. Thus, it takes a while to start up.

200 is a slight exaggeration. Last time I counted it was ~120, and I've only added a few since then.
why are motherboard manufacturers still including PCI-E 1x slots? who the fuck actually uses them? there's like 10 1x video cards in existence and a handful of sound cards. i honestly don't know why mobos come with 2 1x slots instead of legacy pci.

[QUOTE=nikomo;29127249]Doesn't work with leaving and joining a domain.
Also, I just discovered one of the biggest asshole moves ever.
If you use Hyper-V Manager over Remote Desktop, it can't hook the mouse because you're using it over a Remote Desktop session.
So you go and install Hyper-V Manager on your machine (can't have Service Pack installed to be able to install it, so you have to uninstall SP1, install the fucking thing and reinstall SP1).
And then. You have to be logged on as a fucking domain user to connect with the damn thing.
If you try to use it as a local user from a computer that's not on the domain, it just goes derp.[/QUOTE]
I feel your pain on so many levels. I hate how when I need to make a domain account on a computer a local administrator, I have to log into the domain account for windows to recognize it, log off and back onto the local admin, apply the settings, then log back onto the domain account. I wish it'd just prompt me for a username/pass when I want to change permissions like it does when I join it to the domain.

[QUOTE=reapaninja;29575925][quote=Ultralast][b]legacy[/b] pci[/quote][/QUOTE]
I've never once used a 1x slot, ever. I use legacy pci often, mostly for sound or firewire cards. Almost anyone I know complains about 1x slots, and how they're often put on the most inconvenient slots on the mobo as well.
what
my point was it's legacy, as in we have something better to replace it
it's like complaining that they should include fewer SATA ports and more IDE, and has the exact same response - stuff gets outdated, suck it up and replace it

Yeah, that theory would work if there were tons of 1x cards on the market, and there aren't. Not to mention PCIX 2.0 is faster overall than PCI-E 1x.

Yeah my sister has a folder with ~1 million webcomics bookmarked, or at least she used to.
I always imagined her clicking that folder with the scroll wheel in the morning and then coming back in the evening when all of those damn tabs loaded.

There are actually other uses for PCIe than just graphics cards and sound cards.
NICs are also commonly PCIe, but using a full x16 for that is overkill - you can have two gigabit ethernet ports on just a x1. A x16 would only be needed for 10-gigabit-plus NICs - which are rarely found outside data centers.
RAID controllers are also commonly PCIe, usually x4, and some SSDs are PCIe to get more bandwidth.
USB cards (if you need more ports, or a USB3.0 port) or FireWire cards or any of that type of thing use PCIe x1. Any sort of card that just adds a few peripheral ports is going to use a x1.
Now, you may be saying "but all those things will work in a x16. Surely it can't be that much more expensive to make a x16 than a x1?". As a matter of fact, an x16 slot is relatively expensive - it needs a LOT of data connections. In fact, quite a few "x16" slots are only physically x16 - they only have electrical connections for half that, making cards function as x8 cards.

so the asshole move isn't that they are getting rid of PCI slots, it's that they aern't moving PCI cards to PCI-E fast enough
[QUOTE=reapaninja;29576399]so the asshole move isn't that they are getting rid of PCI slots, it's that they aern't moving PCI cards to PCI-E fast enough[/QUOTE]
Pretty much. I suppose I could have worded it differently... but the for the average end user the technical advantages of PCI-E over PCI are so minimal that you'd never see, hear, or feel a difference in the bandwith. Honestly I can't tell the difference from my PCI nic and my onboard. My x-Fi sound card sounds barely different than my onboard as well. It doesn't make sense to me that they toss 3 1x slots on a motherboard when at most you'd probably only take advantage of one.
[QUOTE=Ultralast;29577096]x-Fi sound card[/QUOTE]
This. $120 and it sounds exactly the same as integrated audio when played through studio monitors. Even better, digital input streams over ATSC cannot be decoded because of licensing restrictions meaning television sound cannot be mixed with computer sound, so the card really has no purpose.
But, this is why they're [i]real[/i] assholes: The product page on their website shows a dialog with an option for enabling aforementioned decoding. On the actual driver settings page: nothing.

Some companies actually design products that way, to increase sales. Mostly car companies, who have perfected cars that break after 250,001 miles, but I'm sure some computer companies do it too.
