I don't entirely understand the point of this.

>>2765
They're probably going to try to sell it to people who don't already have laptops.

Also tethering is kind of a pain in the ass, at least on my phone, so a computer that simplifies it would be nice.

>>2765
Fully compatible phone and laptop should make it easier to browse with your laptop on the 4G network.

>>2630
Also it can cause the fan to seize when the bearings burn on one size due to the wobble and depending on the way the fan is hooked could burn the board.

Fan blades accumulate no end of dust, dander, arisolized (spelling)oils that can can deposit themselves unevenly on the blades creating the off ballance.
Just cleaning the fan blades and case should fix the problem.
If not, either the plastic fan blades ore not trimmed to balance, (like balancing a car tire) or the bearings and fan mounting was manufactured out of center. In which case you have a warrantied defect.
Cleaning is easiest.

>>2753
Tried that first. Didn't work, so I bought a new one.
Thanks though.

I needs a vehicle, too. I've asked /tek/ their thoughts on a vehicle that could survive cold New England winters. I was told look for a Hillux, but I'm a 'Murican. The closest we probably have is the Toyota Tacoma.

:< I also hate interest and debt, so if I can get a crappy car after a year of hard work and pay cash, awesome.

>>2717

Generally speaking it's better to keep your vehicle out of the elements unless said vehicle is specifically designed to be within the elements. How's your garage looking?

>>2724
Don't have one. So I'd have to improvise, build one or go without.

>>2650
It doesn't have to convince them, no. But I wager at least a third of the people that would actually argue about global warming on the internet, as in, Youtube Comments type arguing about it on the internet, are already firmly set in their ways and ideas on how things work.

They'd run into the same problem trying to get a certain portion of the population to believe Obama isn't a Kenyan Muslim Socialist.

>>2649
I don't know how the bot works nor have I gone in depth of watching it in action, so I can't answer that.

But I'd guess the bot looks for commonly repeated arguments and false reasoning (think "it's snowing, what happened to global warming!"); the best person to target is the one who's on the fence and has bad or no information and is still capable of being reasoned with. Someone who's deliberately putting out strawmen or bad data isn't exactly the target audience.

That's all my own off-the-cuff speculation though. Like I said, I don't know how the bot works.

>>2682
Sounds reasonable enough.

Oh, another related story. I nice summary of what I had to take Human Genetics to learn:

tl;dr This is why we don't have cloned warriors/facists.

>What's even more striking is that if your DNA is tagged by an environmental factor, such as a pesticide, the impact this environmental factor has on your genes can be passed down through generations. The "epigenome" become inheritable. That means if your grandmother ate too much sugar, or smoked, or was exposed to mercury from too much sushi, the genetic modifications she incurred from this exposure could affect you. Her epigenome would carry an increased risk of disease that could be passed down from generation to generation. Interestingly, the Darwinian and Lamarckian worldviews are intersecting in 2010.

Holy hell I've been pondering this for ten fucking years. I thought I was crazy for even considering this was legitimately possible.

>>2665
So it turns out Lamark was right.

I feel all warm and fuzzy.

BRB, installing keylogs on my own PC.

Is it a SATA CD drive? I think those are jumperless, but IDE drives can depend upon both the Jumper Configuration and the placement on the IDE cable. Normally sticking it at the end of the IDE cable with no jumpers is enough. but check to see if there's a "slave" jumper configuration on the CD drive.

>>2620
it didnt like the 6 gb sata cable but its working good with the 3 gb

i figured that out while the pos r50e was making a boot usb

>>2621
Ah, SATA 2 and 3 (3gb and 6gb respectively). Yeah you gotta make sure that the parts accept the cables. The 6gb ones only work on certain newer parts

Reformat, reinstall, and learn to Microsoft Security Essentials

>>2330
It's not a virus. Check your settings.

just to be clear, this is Windows 7 we're talking about here? Also what model laptop?

Windows 7 already has the ability to change backgrounds every X amount of time. Or do you mean you want DreamScene back?

This is usually the part of the thread where I ride the nuts of several companies, namely Sony for their Vaio Z line and HP for their TouchSmart tm2t line.

Usually laptops have an obvious downside that hinders the experience as a whole. The Vaio Z, however, is perfect in every possible way. It's only downside is its ridiculous price.

>expensive computers for people who don't know how to use them?
At least dell works.

a) What did you replace his profile picture with
b) What proof does he have that you stole his login info
c) Why is your friend an idiot and why are you listening to him

a) What did you replace his profile picture with
>A different picture of him. Just a closeup of his eyes when he was being a dork.

b) What proof does he have that you stole his login info
>Nothing. He apparently assumed the worst in people.

c) Why is your friend an idiot and why are you listening to him
He's a bit of a megalomaniac but a good GM. I'm not listening to him, per se, but I want to prove him wrong.

Anyway, I tweaked my firewall settings and ran MSE. No blips, so I've resolved to let him cool his jets before talking to him again.

>People paying more than $3 for an HDMI cable

>>2550
Obviously you don't know the glory that is my 120 dollar gold tipped teflon coated lifetime guaranteed hdmi cables.

What an ignorant peasant.

I wish dollar stores were the same way.

Also, it doesn't matter how fast the machine is. If you're on satellite internet, she's gonna have times when ping will flip out and her reaction time will be painful. Fast card to process the data or not. Hope you have a good internet connection upload and download speed.

>>2529
She does. She really, really does.
The first PC we had WoW on played between 3 and 14 fps on low settings and low resolution. The current one hits about 50 on mid quality settings. Mostly she really, really wants to play on Ultra with a decent fps.

Her guild tends to only take 10 men on a raid, as well.

>>2532
We're on Time Warner's cable internet, I'm not entirely certain how fast that is, though. And it tends to vary a little bit, depending who else on the block is hogging bandwidth.

>>2534

What resolution is she planning to run it at?

When I was playing I was running at high-max settings with only a few mods. My resolution though was 1920x1080. The only placed I'd really see a drop in fps was the main city and Crystalsong Forest. I spent about 800-900 on my build about 2 years ago though and haven't really added on to it since. However I've been hearing that Cataclysm is going to upgrade the graphics a bit more so that might be something to consider.

Nice. Is there any general repository for the /g/uides besides /rs/? I've found myself wanting to look them up more than a few times.

Also Welcome to the site!

There's this stuff, in case you didn't see it.

niiiice. Thank you, that escaped me.

Resurrecting Thread 4 posterity

After using Foobar for a little bit, I find I do not have the ability to download songs off the iPod, an out-of-the-box feature in Winamp. Additionally, Foobar does not seem built for playlist support, having only very basic features in that area. It also seems to have no capabilities in library file auto-organization, something I am experimenting with now in Winamp.

But feel free to let me know if I'm doing it wrong.

>>2501
What do you mean by library auto-organization?

>>2503
My library is physically composed largely of mis-tagged, untagged, unorganized and recovered music collections cultivated from the very beginning of napster. I need iTunes' ability to auto-sort the actual files into proper Artist and Album hierarchies, instead of just cruising the library with search.
