I recently got $135 from selling some D&D stuff on eBay, which will be going towards my computer which I plan to start building in October, unless I get delayed even more. I'm thinking of getting an Asrock Z68 Professional Gen3 instead of a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P, as well as a Noctua NH-D14. Do you guys think that would be a good idea?

Can't just yet. My family recently paid taxes, and don't currently have enough money in PayPal to actually purchase the parts.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;32419109]it's actually "lee-nux" but people (especially americans) assume Linus is pronounced the English way (lie-nus) instead of the finnish way (lee-nus)
a lot of people pronounce it lin-ux which makes absolutely no sense other than that is how it would be pronounced if it were an American English word.[/QUOTE]

I'm very glad that I correctly pronounced Linux from the beginning (when I have to type out how to pronounce it, I use "Lih-nucks").
Especially since I frequently massacre obscure English words that I've read but never heard.

I need to find new sources for tech news. The article has no content besides windows is now using Uefi, and doesn't state it is required for Windows 8 certification. I have not yet read anything on it being required, but I may be wrong. Then the comments are all Apple was first, omgeeeee this mean m$ is blocking linux!
I've lost faith in everything.
Well, that was a waste of time.
For a while, I've been dissatisfied with the standard Lorem Ipsum filler text. It's badly-mangled Latin - it doesn't really look like English text.
So, I've spent the past hour writing a Perl script to generate filler text based on English letter and digraph frequencies.
This is the first result:
[code]eadtes rhinloa dyugt escb wrhfinml poeadtes rhinlo adyugte scwrhfin mlpoadt esrhin loate etee adyukg tevsc bwrhf inmlp oad tesrh ino adjyuk gthtev scbwr xhf inm lpo ead utescrhi nloa tesrh inoa teinoa dtesrh inloet eat eeeteee adt esrhi nloadu gtes cwrhfin mlotea dtes rhin loadjyu kingth teerv scq bwrxhfin hemlpoan adte srh inloadu tesc rhinloee adyu gtescwr hfinmlp oatesrhi noad tesrhi nloe ead utesc rhi nloeee adtesr hinl oadyugte scwrhfi nml poady ugtescb wrhfinm lpoa dtesrh inoteat esr hinoead tesrhinl oadut escwrhfi nmloe adyukgte vscbwrh finmlpot eate ateea dyugt escwrh finmlpo eee adtesrh inoadt esr hinotee eates inoad jyukingtht eerre vscqbzwr xhfi nhemlp oan[/code]
I think I'm going to have to look up some better data. I'm thinking I'll find (or mine) a chart of every possible digraph, from aa to zz. Maybe trigraphs, even. That should fix the "seven consonants in a row" problem.
The current script, in case someone wants to hack at it:

My school's robotics team is using EasyC for training, I'm going to barf. Is it possible to actually edit the code with EasyC, or are you fucking stuck with drag and fucking drop. I want to fucking do advanced stuff for the ai during the autonomous period that easyc drag-&-fucking-drop just can't do.

It's weird seeing people with the same name as me.
Only met two people with the same name and that was in England and Wales while on vacation.
Also, do anyone know what's going on here with my second 6870 temps not showing up?

Sorry, no, I keep seeing you ask but I have no idea. Have you tried seeing if both cards have the most up to date BIOS? Maybe they have two different ones making them incompatible with eachother or something.

Do it asap
They're working fine, idk why speccy is saying crossfire is disabled. I mean yeah I had flickering issues before but now that issue is completely gone, and they're both up to date.
Maybe I should go back and get the new one replacee? It has a three year warranty with no questions asked replacement/refund warranty. I'm already going to that store to pick up some ram (getting two of these [url]http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0353218[/url] for 8gb total)and a fan to replace my broken 140mm.
[editline]22nd September 2011[/editline]
And the second 6870 gets loud as fuck when playing Metro 2033 but perfectly quiet in every other game.

Swap the PCIe slots they're in. Does it read out then?
Did that, same card is not showing any temps.
They're two different models of the 6870 but both are xfx. When I bought it I thought the newer card was the same one as my older one since the website showed the wrong card. Gave the store a call and they told me to come in and talk to the manager about it.
My older card is a HD-687A-ZNFC, the new one is a HD-687A-ZHFC which was mislabeled as the HD-687A-ZNFC at the store. Plus if you look it up on the Micro Center website the picture is the wrong card.
Typing on an iPhone is a bitch.
Try with the "broken" card alone.

Also, the dvd player in our living room has typos in the settings menu :v: "TV YTPE" among others
Did that, still got nothing, but was able to change the fan speed through CCC which didn't work on that card with both in.
