  1. My collectors editions arrived, and I'm loving it. Mind you some people have already ground up to admiral. Where's the fun in that?
  2. And I thought America was land of the nuts at times. Seems like down under has taken the crown and just run with it.

    bye Matt

    Indeed, all the best Matt. I enjoyed your sections on networking and Virtual Machines. Don't be too much of a stranger in IRC.
  4. No multitasking, so it is just a big iphone, nothing more. I've just lost all interest.
  5. I for one will wait for an impartial review, by those neither pro, nor anti, Apple. Too many seem to think anything that comes out of Apple is either always great, or always terrible.
  6. Antivirus, kills viruses. Firewall: Think moat around a castle.
  7. Well I didn't mean that the player 1 offers it across. If they get it wrong then the other person gets a chance to answer it, but only for one point. True they'd have the advantage of knowing that the answer given by player 1 was wrong. Now they get it right, get 1 point. They get it wrong, lose a point. Or they can just decide to not take the chance. How about that? As for IRC, that is the risk taken, we just have to ask people to be honest.
  8. Well having done two, I loved both. It was fun. My only idea, as I mentioned, was have each question worth 2 points, but if the person cannot answer it, then offer it across to the other for 1 point.
  9. Darren has the patience of a saint for those calls. And it was fun.
  10. So......in short because education is failing and ending up creating large amounts of idiots, America is screwed internationally? Sounds about right for a lot of countries to be honest.
  11. Well your CPU is at a much better temp. GPUs tend to run rather hot normally, but they are within their safety limit on your pc. If you can afford it, I'd say replace the cooler on your CPU with a different one, if Core 2 Duo/Quad use an Artic Freezer 7 Pro or Fenrir Titan. If AMD based, Fenrir Titan also. Clean off all the TIM first before mounting the new ones with new TIM.
  12. Beta has just over a week left, I've been in the game since closed beta and I rather love it.
  13. Yoink! Can't wait to have a look around.
  14. Intake fans at the bottom front, expellers at the top back. That maintains a constant airflow that keeps things from melting. If on the floor, get some fan filters. I've been building gaming machines for years, and high end hackintoshes for people who have to use OSX, and I always make sure the machine has decent airflow. If you don't understand the basics, get someone who does to help you, otherwise you'll end up cooking your machine. In my case the PSU sucks air from under the case, via a fan filter, and exhausts straight out the back, the air from it does not enter the rest of the case. At the top I've three slow moving 120mm fans blowing air over a radiator, bottom front I've two 120mm pulling air in. Constant air pressure means constant air flow, which means superior cooling. Having all your fans pulling air in from all over the place is a mistake.
  15. Well said Mnemonic. I'm 28 years of age, happily married currently unemployed however due to the economic mess that is Ireland. I love technology. Always have. I take things apart, put them back together, try new things. I am the resident techie of my circle of friends, and always the one called when something needs to be wired up, networked, built etc. I love it. I love that my friends know they can count on me for that. And I love that I can count on them for other things that I cannot do (I cannot sew to save my life, and when it comes to making larping gear that's a handicap. However my friends can, so win). Am I a hacker? Depends on your definition of hacker. I'm a techie, I love tinkering with technology. If that makes me a hacker then I guess I am. But I wont call myself one.
  16. Let me see.... Room temp is 22C, my cpu which is overclocked to 3.6Ghz is 36C idle and all cores 100% load is 52C. This is a core i7 920 D0 stepping.
  17. Go to ubuntuguide.org. It's a good starting point.
  18. Parents got me a hi def 24inch monitor from samsung. Wife got me the last available 25th anniversary warhammer fantasy collectors edition. I got my wife a pleo. Google it. It's awesome.
  19. Wahey, at least you are free for Christmas. Someone nearby will surely offer you a ride home, it is the season of giving after all.
  20. Fonera 2.0n is also a rather nice one.

    Hacking WoW

    I used to work for Blizzard, and I can tell you this. No one hacked your account. Your account was compromised by your lack of security, or you sharing your password. How to make sure it doesn't happen again? Secure your computer properly, don't share your account details.
  22. I'm with the text him and ask does he want his privacy. If he is fine with us asking after him then indeed perhaps get him a get well soon gift. Though from his twitter he says he doesn't feel alone with all the well wishes on the net.
  23. I saw it earlier on the hakhouse site and my first thought was "Buh? No! Not christmas in hospital." If he does end up staying there we better get something organised for him, and damn fast!
  24. http://gizmodo.com/5428620/way-more-dd-on-...crosoft-surface Saw this and I love it. Better then a big ass table.
