Nah it's okay, I have no cash on paypal so I can't bid anyways :v:
You would not believe what happened earlier
I was upstairs browsing the web on my laptop and i decided to get a file on my NAS
go to computer, NAS HDDs show as disconnected, okay i'll go downstairs to check if the LAN cable fell out
The lan cable is in fine and the NAS was running
i try go into the webGUI or whatever its called in freenas, times out
so i go downstairs and check it, but wait somethings missing
the SD card that freenas and its configuration file was on is gone
so i ask my sister if she's seen it anywhere and guess what?
she decided it was a good idea to instead ask anyone if there was any SD cards anywhere pull the SD card out my NAS while its on and FORMATS IT
why?
because she wanted to use it for wait for it
taking facebook pictures
FUCKING FACEBOOK PICTURES
Words cannot describe how angry i was
Now i gotta fucking reinstall freenas and set it all up AGAIN and this time i'm padlocking the side on.
Just got my new samsung spinpoint f3 installed.
Does anyone in here have a Mac with Classic installed or a late version of OS 9?

I only have a hard drive with OS 9 on it :v:
[QUOTE=chrishind10;32166914][IMG]http://www.newlaunches.com/entry_images/1009/15/StarTrek_flash_drive.jpg[/IMG]
Nah, it's impossible to lose THIS flash drive, it's so frigging huge.
And cheap too, £5, and it came with the latest (terrible) Star Trek film on it.[/QUOTE]
What? I thought the new star trek was really good. Yea it was very actiony, but if you consider it on its own, it's pretty good I think. Sans the anamorphic lens flares

I got the CPU,VRM and cache stick from a mac that ran OS9.

I quite liked Star Trek XI. It stood well in its own little universe. The acting, story, and directing were all good. Not VI good, but good. It even had its own weird little quirk with the lens flare. Well, that, and the fact that I kept expecting Spock to pin someone to a wall, tear their skull in half, and eat their brains.

My uncle gave me his laptop a couple days ago so I could remove a "Virus", so I figured that I would just work on it in school. The first thing I do when I get into shop is start it up and find the problem. When I log into his account I find some generic fake antivirus with the XP theme on this vista laptop. He was saying that it was telling him he had a problem and that he couldn't open anything. I look at the desktop and find frostwire and a FUCKTON of adware. First thing I do? Reboot and go into Safe mode. Once I'm in there I put malwarebytes onto a flash drive and start a scan. When the it is done it finds 42 total viruses. Dayum. I decided I didn't want to spend the time uninstalling a bunch of crap so I just went ahead and used the spare windows 7 disk I had lying around and installed windows 7 on the thing(He said it was fine). I managed to set up windows 7 and install the basic essentials in one day. Windows unfortunately takes up 45GB on this thing though, and this is a 75 GB hard drive. Out of a moment of stupidity I think to try to compress the disk to save space. A moment later I cancel it and worry that it will come back to bite me in the ass later. Surely enough it did, because when I installed a few updates and went to reboot the first thing I see is a message saying "BOOTMGR is compressed, CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart". At this point I'm thinking "Oh shit in a can, I fucked it up". I went to Google for the answer on what to do and luckily it came up in the first couple results.

wtf
Lol compress HDD, Worst thing ever.
Has anyone ever had it work?
I've only seen corrupt windows install after corrupt windows install.
a basic 7 install takes up like 25GB at most for me, and that's with language packs and whatnot. What are you doing.
[editline]u r jerque omgg[/editline]
wow okay
Also, my programming teacher was talking about how he worked with a 185 Kb HDD the size of a normal engine block. When you wanted to reformat it, you had to remove the individual discs in the drive, and put it into a separate machine to erase any data in large amounts. If you put it in incorrectly, it would destroy the disks. It happened once, and the entire think fell apart while flinging long shavings of metal and chunks of the hard drive disk. The guy who did it was fired and had to pay the $8000 to fix it.
I got a random email from AMD saying I got a key for DiRT3, did the offer apply to the 5xxx series or something?

Wow, I just looked and found a windows.old folder.
I am stupid for not checking that sooner.

[QUOTE=FullStreak12;32167789]Second day in my IED class and the teacher starting talking innovation, then he went with out apple supposedly had the first touchscreen phone and every other smartphone was based off of it.[/QUOTE]
I had IED class (Introduction to Engineering Design) a while back, and that's actually a small bit of content there.
The class followed "Project Lead the Way", which gives us credits for MSOE (Milwaukee School Of Engineering). There's a curriculum for the class based on PLTW, but we never really followed it. We just made 3D models in Inventor, and made puzzle cubes and went through the process of engineering.
Three days before the final exam, our teacher shows some notes on the boards and tells us to copy them onto the computer. We do so, and he says we can use these on the final exam. The thing is, all the stuff on these notes is stuff I have no idea about, since we never learned about it. We just did lots of big projects, never anything text-book related or learning vocabulary. My friend wants to go to MSOE and would love to get the credits for the class, so he is a bit worried about the exam.
Final exam day. We walk into the classroom after our lunch with our teacher frantic. He says to anyone getting into the room to sit at a computer right away. He then says that the previous hours' classes did horrible on the exam because we never learned this stuff. He then tells us to log onto the online exam. Everyone is freaking out, and the exam website isn't working on IE. After 20 minutes of valuable exam time, my friend and I get a haphazard firefox set up for everyone. We couldn't download it due to restrictions on the computers, but it was buried in past software in the Student Shared files. Then, after all these computer illiterate people install it on their computers,our teacher handed each student a password and login to everyone and we work on our test.
We begin the test. We have 45 minutes to do this half of it, and me and my friend are in awe at it, as we don't know any of these questions due to our teacher. This isn't a case where I'm just making excuses about the class, but he didn't teach us any of this stuff. When our teacher was out of the room, we googled some of the stuff (The test was open in firefox, we just had to open a new tab...).
After those 45 minutes are up, we have a measly 20 minutes or so to do the written portion of it which was mostly simple math with areas and such, but still had things we had no idea about. I rush through it, and finish in the nick of time.
Afterwards, I talked with students and no one had any idea about the problems. After a while, when people found out their grades, no one had better than a B- or so. My friend didn't get credits for that class due to the fact that all the credits are based on that exam.
So my first day of school was today.
I have web design. The problems:
- Less content than I was expecting, however it is the first day so...
- The computer I was on shut itself off randomly. Traced it to overheating from the sun shining right on it (v:v:v), solved by positioning my binder to block the sun.
- The plan is to learn Dreamweaver at some point. While we're starting with Notepad, and viewing our result via Internet Explorer (probably just because that's what's already there), Dreamweaver is on the list.
- The straight HTML part is coming from W3Schools. Last I checked that was a bad idea, right?
oh, and for the plaintext and browser dilemma, I've already got Firefox 3.6.someshit (haven't updated it in a while) and GVim in my "My Documents" folder (installed Firefox there a while back for obvious reasons, and I forget why I had GVim but it was already there).

I compressed my HDD on XP once. I let it go ALL the way through, and I think I told it to skip the files it couldn't compress.
Ran a little slower but I was actually able to use a 30GB drive with WinXP because of it, no corruption.
Speaking of web design, anyone else looking forward to Adobe Edge?

Sucks for you. My PLTW teacher is amazing. It's literally just a few days at a time to cover the notes, adding up to maybe 40 hours of notes (four weeks of classes here) spread out over the entire year. The rest is practical application via massive projects. It's weird for us not to get credit. Also, our teams for state engineering competitions ALWAYS dominate, usually taking up the first few positions. Not to mention the fact that he's also a football coach, lets us do pretty much anything as long as we're on top of our work, and he's never managed to hold down a girl for more than a couple months, meaning we get to poke fun at him.

Also, he once turned a supersoaker on me for something in the middle of class. Forgot what.

Forgot what.[/QUOTE] I wish our teacher was awesome, he's just an overweight engineering teacher that studied for a long time to become a engineer, but tragically lost his dream and had to teach about it. We just make trains in inventor or whatever, and the class is mostly filled with jocks that just wanted to take an easy class. It's pretty tragic how horrible our engineering department is, so I just took computer programming instead. Learning Visual Basic right now, Alice, HTML (because it's somehow a programming language), and AP Java next year. I'm learning C++ on my own time right now.
Well, my programming teacher can't figure out how to make it so that a variable in another module isn't private (visual basic). I guess you can't get it all.
My physical science teacher was so awesome, we talked about Portal and The Orange Box all the time, and he had all these cool "toys" to demonstrate physics. He was also a really good skateboarder as a teenager and participated in tournaments, and had a ton of videos of him doing tricks. He was also interviewed for doing some sort of crazy ice-sailing sport or something.
I learned more in that class than any other class, yet I had the most fun.

I too, had an awesome Engineering teacher, however, he was fired for being too awesome. Namely, letting us use phones in some instances, and allowing us to play games when we finished our work (First 10 minutes of most class periods).
Needless to say, we all got to be very good at Robot Unicorn Attack.

[QUOTE=roneyripper;32174282]Can anyone suggest me a good mouse for gaming? I'm currently using a Logitech m100.[/QUOTE]I used to game quite frequently, but really, anything with a scroll wheel would be great. I have a default mouse that came with a pre-built computer from 2006 or so, labeled "Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 1000". Maybe getting a button or two on the side would be nice, but honestly, the mouse isn't a big deal from my experiences.
