Awww yeah guess who finally got around installing W7 I'm only a few years late :buddy:
Just ordered the SSD. It is a bit of money for a guy like me, though. Got some albums with Jamiroquai for my birthday as well.
Oh god what did I do wrong everything is in French but I installed this shit in English :ohdear: The translations, they burn [editline]18th September 2011[/editline] Well it might be French but it's the first time SteamGuard works on the first try :v:
[QUOTE=Warship;32361900]Rendering videos :v:[/QUOTE] It should be 100% If not you have a bottleneck in the system.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;32362551]It should be 100% If not you have a bottleneck in the system.[/QUOTE] You're always going to have A bottleneck. 100% CPU just means that the CPU is the bottleneck.
100% though would mean you're getting good compression efficiency generally speaking. If it were lower and your harddrive couldn't feed it enough information, you must have some SUPER weak compression going on.
Installing the latest AMD drivers Let's see how many times the setup will fail :v: [editline]18th September 2011[/editline] The display driver crashed [B]during[/B] setup I guess that's a record.
Looks like I'm calling Dell tomorrow... My brother's Dell Vostro 1510 is complaining that the hard drive is going to fail soon and when you insert the 1 GB stick of RAM, the thing refuses to boot (It's probably the motherboard, since the working stick does the same thing in that slot). So far, the following have been replaced on the stupid thing: LCD, keyboard, palmrest plastics, DVD drive, DVD drive ribbon cable, motherboard, power cord and battery. We're definitely getting our money's worth for that extended warranty.
I had a dell E5410 at work that simply stopped booting at all. No power. They came by and replaced the motherboard, power adapter, palm rests, and battery 3 times before we sent it to their repair depot.
What's with the font smoothing in W7 It's pretty noticeable on Steam but it doesn't seem to work on Opera. How do I disable it anyway, I don't really like the fuzzy look... [editline]18th September 2011[/editline] Okay now that's weird Clicking on "Adjust Cleartype text" somehow made it work everywhere. After some tuning it's a lot better than without it so I guess I'll keep it.
Pffft, you guys and your newer Dell laptops. This laptop is about 4-5 years old (2006ish) has about 2 and a half years total uptime and I've never ever had to call support.
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;32361701]And I still can't edit on Linux. Help? Oh, and to reply I have to double click reply and have it take me to the "Advanced Editor".[/QUOTE] I had that problem with Epiphany, but not with Firefox. Dunno about other browsers. It's not a "Linux" problem, it's a browser bug.
I just right click the edit button and open in new tab

I'm really losing faith in the ATI driver programmers.
[QUOTE=ze beaver;32362265]Awww yeah guess who finally got around installing W7 I'm only a few years late :buddy:[/QUOTE] Don't worry, i installed my first Windows 7 copy yesterday :buddy: [editline]19th September 2011[/editline] Just ran the GTA IV benchmark on my new pc :D [quote] Statistics Average FPS: 65.28 Duration: 37.19 sec CPU Usage (2500k @ 3.5GHz): 60% System memory usage (8GB): 40% Video memory usage (1280MB): 94% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1920 x 1080 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: High Shadow Quality: Very High Reflection Resolution: Very High Water Quality: Very High Texture Filter Quality: Anisotropic x4 Night Shadows: Very High View Distance: 100 Detail Distance: 100 Hardware Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Video Driver version: 280.26 Audio Adapter: Luidsprekers (Realtek High Definition Audio) Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz [/quote]
I like how running SLI gives me worse numbers than that. I get like 35-40 with both my 580's.
I get 50-60fps on high at 1920x1080. A tip to get better framerates: Overclock your CPU. I have had monitor software on my second screen while playing, and it turns out that my 460 isn't the bottleneck when I get <60FPS, it's the CPU :v: [editline]19th September 2011[/editline] And I mean bottleneck as in "bottleneck" because the real bottleneck is the poor optimization
So a teacher just walked past loudly proclaiming that if they find anyone in here using illegal software, they're not allowed to use their laptop. So much for anyone using their laptops in here then.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;32369630]So a teacher just walked past loudly proclaiming that if they find anyone in here using illegal software, they're not allowed to use their laptop.

[QUOTE=agentgamma;32369850]No sir, this "Photoshop crack.exe" program is completely legitimate.[/QUOTE] Come to think of it, are they even legally allowed to check my laptop for pirated software?
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;32369877]Come to think of it, are they even legally allowed to check my laptop for pirated software?[/QUOTE] Depends, Is it your laptop or the schools. I'v got a school one so that are allowed (and have) gone in and raided entire classes and checked for stuff None got out alive
I wonder what they would say if they saw someone with Linux...
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;32369877]Come to think of it, are they even legally allowed to check my laptop for pirated software?[/QUOTE] If it is YOUR laptop than probably not. However, you'll have to check all the contracts and shit you signed. Been going through a lot of this horse shit lately. My school is fucking retarded and trying to continuously break the fucking law going through our shit.
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;32369906]Depends, Is it your laptop or the schools. I'v got a school one so that are allowed (and have) gone in and raided entire classes and checked for stuff None got out alive[/QUOTE] It's mine, their scrubby claws have not touched it. [QUOTE=Warship;32369910]I wonder what they would say if they saw someone with Linux...[/QUOTE] Nah, they're cool enough about that. Although one of my teachers did commit the cardinal sin of pronouncing Linux as 'lainux' once.
So I just recently took a look at my ssh logs for the first time in months... For at least a month now, I've had multiple IPs spamming ssh login attempts from IPs around the world roughly every 5 seconds. Luckily I've set up a group of users that are allowed ssh access, and those that are allowed have strong passwords and are not sudoers, so the security of my system is fine. None of the login attempts have been successful - but there have been at least 100,000 attempts so far. Also most of the login attempts are for root, some for http, and at one point there was a dictionary attack of names. Should I be worried? Any way of permanently blocking an IP after, say, 10 login attempts? Also, the current spammer's IP is 109.237.208.135, from the Netherlands. [editline]19th September 2011[/editline] I caught on to this when I was checking htop to make sure my new cron job was executing properly, and I kept on seeing an ssh process pop up and disappear every few seconds.
You know, I almost feel like torrenting as many movies as I can, smacking them all in a folder on my desktop labeled 'movie downloads' and just have it sit there. Then when the teachers complain, I can say 'you only mentioned software sir, didn't say anything about movies'.
62% through the Win 8 download, and I'm going to sacrifice at least half my ram (2gb of ram, need a upgrade really, really soon.) God damn my 0.5mb/s download. Any tips? Also I have to put it on my 5400RPM WD drive instead of my main seagate, which is 160 gb while my WD (crappy choice I made) is 500gb. Three things to hopefully get (two mainly, third optional) More RAM, SSD/at least 7200RPM 1TB HDD, and a new CPU (optional, CPU that isnt LGA775pin will require a new mobo)
Ooh, how about taking some obscure open source software, packing it into rars and giving them names that.are.all.like.this.so.they.look.pirated?
