First thing you should be filtering by when buying a phone is your budget, then work from that.
Do you want one on a contract plan meaning pay monthly with including data plan? Or a one off payment?
Keep in mind smartphones are [I]almost[/I] useless without a data plan, but you can buy the phone and data plan separately.
I checked the website and the range is pretty small, best value phone being the ZTE Score.

Woah, it's my old Johan Rensfeldt avatar.
Guys when i touch/move my monitor cable a bit my screen turns transparant pink. With my feet under my desk sometimes touch the cable and it gets stuck in gay mode and its quite a bit of hassle to make it go back normal beceuse pulling it makes it also go flickering pink ohgod.
Any ideas what i could do about this halp.
ensure cable is secured properly, if it is get new one etc...

It's been like this since Chrome Dev updated, I assume it's an issue with CSS rendering strangely (happens on some other sites too, even with adblock disabled and shift+F5). I'm learning to cope.
looks like High Contrast mode
[QUOTE=lavacano;33769239]looks like High Contrast mode[/QUOTE]
Chrome is intelligent enough to work out that due to the amount of time I spend on my computer my eyes are probably going to explode at some point soon and has hence automatically started converting the pages I view into High Contrast. Thanks, Chrome, you're a star!

I feel like upgrading from my two 6870s but I have no idea what to get. Might wait to see what AMD and Nvidia put out in the next two or three months. I'm looking at two GTX 570s or 580s but I think I'd need to upgrade my 750watt Antec psu if I get the GTX 580s.

got $800 in one of my bank accounts that I never pull anything out of or put anything in to, so I'll be getting this soon with some of that money
that memory set is to match my current set for 8 GB, and I'm gonna try unlocking and overclocking that 960T.

[QUOTE=TestECull;33750903]Oh, good. I have Windows Update turned the fuck off, so I won't have my internet clogged up with updates to a shitty browser I don't use.
Honestly I don't fathom how people can stand to use IE. There's a myriad of other browsers out there, every single one of which is miles better than IE, and they're all free and easy to install. Choose one already.[/QUOTE]

It's still awful. It doesn't follow many commonplace internet standards, it's bloated, and it manages to use more ram than Firefox, despite the latter having a memory leak the size of Oklahoma.
It may be less shit than IE6, but it's still shit, still only fit for obtaining a different, better browser.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=TestECull;33758765]Security hole fixes? Really? They break more than they fix, they make your machine restart incessantly, they clog up your internet, and they don't do anything useful. You don't need them, the only people who do are the people too computer illiterate to find the start button.
I've been running updateless since XP's heyday and I've never had any malware issues I couldn't directly backtrace to a derp download I made, and of those, last one was in...2005? And I'm by no means 'leet'. It doesn't take much smarts to keep a Windows machine malware free without resorting to Windows Update.
Oh, and yes, I have installed [i]some[/i] updates. I have no choice if I want to play GTA IV, for some braindead reason SP1 is required or it won't even install. God only knows why...God damn it Rockstar, why must such a fun game require such a bloated update that breaks so much useful stuff on my machine every time I install it?!
I'm dumb because I'm able to keep my computer secure and malware free without indundating windows with gigabytes upon gigabytes of half-broken updates that don't do me any good and which only contribute to bloating an already bloated as fuck OS?
Riiiiiiight.[/QUOTE]

Noob, hit 7.01GB today while editing in vegas :hehe:
My CPU is a huge bottleneck sometimes.
NFS World - FPS is really low. Open task manager and MSI Afterburner, see GPU usage ~30%, CPU usage 100% all time.
What the cow. Intel speedstep also does not like to clock my CPU to correct speeds and is just being stupid. Yes, it is disabled in BIOS. And yes, I have the power settings on Maximum Performance.
I might have to try updating the BIOS actually..

$345 sounds pretty decent, considering most 2TB drives are 200-300. Although it's 5900RPM supposedly.
Give me 7200rpm version and I'll buy 4.

Well it's probably got the same read speed as 7200 versions of smaller drives have, but with that, higher seek speed. Really more a storage drive than anything else
[editline]18th December 2011[/editline]
Not that it would be low performance, just [I]a bit lower performance[/I] as far a seek goes. Hell, probably brilliant for large files.

Help. OC3D thread is slow and the Overclock.net thread I made (linked in OC3D thread) had some tips/help but nothing seems to be doing the trick.

The 4TB drives are no doubt single 1TB platter versions, and 5900rpm versus 7200rpm is such a small difference in power usage, but a big difference in performance according to some anandtech articles I've read. I'll wait for 7200RPM. Then I'll dump like $1200 on harddrives, I can't believe I said that. When like a few months ago it would be like 500.
