[QUOTE=chipset;32957655]It's funny cause it's true.[/QUOTE] It's like the model M keyboard, try as hard as you want, you will never break it.
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32957596]I will just procede to beat him over the head with a Thinkpad then... It's all right, the Thinkpad will be fine.[/QUOTE] My sister uses a Thinkpad from 2000, the casing's been through hell but it works like a dream.* *as much like a dream as a laptop running XP on 256MB of RAM can.
NASA exclusively uses them for a reason.
I once dropped my thinkpad from a height of about a meter into solid tile floor. It roughed up a corner on the casing, leaving a tiny mark in the plastic. That was all.
I once dropped my T21 from half a meter. It rebooted. [editline]25th October 2011[/editline] Then one morning I woke it up from sleep and it died :v:
i don't drop my things because i dislike tossing them around wtf are you guys doing
I'm actually careful with my stuff because I worked to earn it
Well I got the T21 from the dump so I can't say that. But I did enjoy it, sort of.
Loads of people at college throw their shit around like it's nothing Probably because their parents paid for it. It feels like i'm the only one who treats their stuff properly :smith:

[editline]25th October 2011[/editline] To be fair it has only been out of the house once. And everyone gave me funny looks because it wasn't running windows.
[QUOTE=Derpmeifter;32958245]i don't drop my things because i dislike tossing them around wtf are you guys doing[/QUOTE] So it's not just me that doesn't juggle their PC components?
Seeing this now on NVIDIA's website, that when buying a GTX560 or higher, you get Batman Arkham City for free. The website I got my parts from was listed. I didn't get a code. :C
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32957924]NASA exclusively uses them for a reason.[/QUOTE] Yeah, They are cheaper then re-entry heat shielding

[editline]25th October 2011[/editline] One girl slammed her phone on a desk in frustration. I said "Why would you do that?" She responded by saying "It's okay, I have otterbox." Does that somehow Make it okay? Why would anyone tempt fate like that?
why don't they sell backwards videocards, where the heatsink and GPU and stuff is on the other side, for SLI configurations? I'm sure some motherboards would have stuff in the way, but it could work.

[QUOTE=dije;32960250]Why would you do that? :v:[/QUOTE] One GPU fans are looking up, other GPU has fans looking down. Smaller problems with heat in SLI configuration.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;32959487]you told us that like months ago[/QUOTE] I don't remember. But the fact that you do means something to me. :glomp:

Fuck it, Chrome started to get so slow that I now use Canary. I hope it will be better. Also, See a fuckton of sweet videos of AC: Brotherhood. Decide that I want to play AC II because I have not completed it yet (FUCKING MISSION WHERE YOU HAVE TO KILL THOSE 7 FAGGOTS) Try to launch it, Ubisoft Game Launcher is not installed or broken. Reinstall the game. FUCK! Oh well, I am now reinstalling the game. After my friends heard about the Price vs perfromance, Oh god how they wanted to see custom builds against prebuilts. Two of my good friends are getting a new PC built by themselves or by some guy who knows their how to do this. One of my classmate is getting a custom build from his relative. One friend asked to see what build he can get for 500€, because his PC broke.
passive vengance on my stepdad: karma has granted him an old mac laptop. Good going, Karma, He doesn't have a clue what the fuck he's doing. (Disclaimer: I don't hate macs for the sake of it, i hate their UI, it's really clunky.)
I do not hate macs. I hate the price of them. FUCKING UBISOFT GAYM LAUNCHER!!!!

I was too inexperienced at the time to know what RMA was and mom tricked me into thinking it couldn't be returned. Edit: This is when I vowed never to get another Gateway product ever again
Linux: Basically the equivalent of the LHC. Windows: the equivalent of a well-funded science lab. Mac: A* rich kid sitting in his room, shitting himself and proclaiming "I can do science, me!" [editline]25th October 2011[/editline] Don't assault me, I quoted it from a friend!

FUCK YOU MUSCLE MEMORY The company I'm interning at issued me a Mac (they're a half-Mac, half-PC company). I actually don't mind it, since it means I can have terminals with full BSD - Bash, Perl, you name it. But, of course, it uses some odd keyboard shortcuts. Command-C/Command-V instead of Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, for instance. There's some good ones that I wish Windows had, like Command-` which is like alt-tab, except just for windows of the current program. So if you had two full-screen Firefox windows as well as a couple other programs, you could Alt-` between the two without having to scroll through any other programs' windows. On my own computers, I don't make mistakes with the shortcuts. I still instinctively Ctrl- and Alt- instead of Alt- and Command-, because the keyboards are spaced differently. The problem happens when I go to school. They use iMacs, but with Boot Camp to run Windows. Which means they have those weird Apple keyboards, but still use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V and so on. That's where my fingers keep jumping for the wrong thing. It's even worse since they have Alt and Command/Win flipped, so even if I do remember I'm on Windows, I keep doing Win-Tab instead of Alt-Tab. Fucking annoying.
But Win-Tab is pretty!
