TIL that after the SciFi channel changed to the SyFy channel (and changed its programming) profits increased from $50-$70 million per year to $500 million per year. by ihateyoursisterin todayilearned

[–]xor2g 5 points6 points ago

Sure, The History Channel added a lot of crap to their line-up using the motto that History happens every day.

But other than those prime-time shows I really enjoy most of their other documentaries.

It's been one of my favorite channels for over 5 years now and I personally don't miss the heaps of WW1-2 footage they used to show round the clock.

oi, as a level 2 comment you should inform us further, as you did, without chewing level 1 guy out

When I'm hotboxing my car... by lCHANCHOlin trees

[–]xor2g 2 points3 points ago

What, that is not true.

If you only leave your window open a few inches and hold your blunt with your left hand the air will get sucked out trough the window, perfectly.

What I do is leave my window and the right window in the back open a few inches. This creates an airflow which evacuates the smoke when it reaches that height.

no, I just tried that, it doesn't work

@OP, if you want this in xls format I'm afraid you'll have to buckle down for a good hour and copy paste each cell by hand.

And, out of curiosity, what would happen with the Q9300 when you'll replace your i7 ?

Sounds like a sweet retirement plan for your Q9300 :D

Don't worry, the q6600 will be faster than the T7500

It has twice cores,threads and cache !

Not to mention that the G41 is probably faster than the laptop's mobo.

19, no way to learn how to drive. by mannfan9292in driving

[–]xor2g 0 points1 point ago

From the sound of it you need to get a part time job (or money..) and get the full education package where you learn to drive with their vehicle.. and take theirs to the test.

Yeah, you'll have to take a bus to wherever they are for each lesson.

That's basically how I've done it.

After that, save up for a car and there you go.

Failed my driving test for the fourth time. by dCLCpin driving

[–]xor2g 0 points1 point ago

If you drive your dad's truck to work every day without incident .. well then you can pretty much drive man, relax :)

Just figure out which part of the exam usually goes bad and practice it every week until the next exam.

Again, you can obviously drive.

A little help for a wannabe? by MarinatingMufasain hardware

Wow, that ViDock thing is amazing !

I know a lot of people who use their laptops as a desktop computer; this would be great for them.

Then again, people using their laptop as a desktop instead of getting a desktop will probably be freaked out by this setup

Look what I picked up for free! by advanceboy7in windows

[–]xor2g 2 points3 points ago

Waw, loving It.

(you should really post this in /r/hardware or even /r/nostalgia)

It looks in really great condition.

I absolutely love typing on those keyboard. ** Tip: You can boost the ram beyond what it's supposed to take if you use high-density ram** ! Also, try legacy XP, it might be sweet :)

My beloved Latitude which I used for college. This was cutting edge 10 years ago ! by xor2gin hardware

[–]xor2g[S] 3 points4 points ago

Those things can and will go on for many years to come. The only problem really is the resolution.

I have a similar spec'ed Latitude that can handle a resolution of 1600. Once everything is loaded into the ram you can comfortably browse/chat/write... which you can't really using the small resolution of this one.

[–]xor2g[S] 0 points1 point ago

hmm

If I remember correctly it was plugged in like that because I would first go to the CD-ROM drive on top and then all the way down for the HDD.

That or I just plugged it in for the picture :p .. I don't rcall

haha

FYI : This picture was taken back in the day when I was taking pictures of all the stuff I was going to sell on ebay. I would put the pictures straight on the laptop. That's why both those items are there :p

that's interesting information. I might overclock it to an even 3

[–]xor2g[S] 2 points3 points ago

It's not really a HTPC, it's more of a PC that always stays on, has a lot of roles and happens to sit close to the TV.

I am a bit curious about the noise (haven't really tested it). It sits in a quite cool spot, in a coolermaster silencio.

You are probably right, but this is about the best I can do for that computer without upgrading the mobo,cpu and ram. And that's gonna run me more than 40€ :p

Used, I don't think CPUs break that fast unless handled improperly.

You would be surprised at the low price for which you can buy older top of the line CPU's.

I try to make one "final" build for each generation :)

I have never used marijuana. As a result, all I know is based on the seemingly constant praise and justification it receives on the internet. Reddit, what are your worst experiences with the drug and why is it illegal? by MagikalGiantin AskReddit

[–]xor2g 1 point2 points ago

This should be way higher.

Now try and think about the same issues drunk :D " Man, imma go and bash his head in RIGHT NOW"

Do you smoke weed before any social event

Yes, unless I don't know what to expect, cause then i'll have a bad time

would you find it less fun without doing so

Yes, unless we be drinking

when you;re at those events do you look forward to going home and blazing up

Yes :( .. unless drunk

do you sometimes miss things because it's easier to just sit at home and spark up?

Yes, not because it's easier but because it sounds more appealing

I had it all together on paper like you...didn't mean I did.

~~What did you do about it ? I'm 28 and I'm beginning to realize that you are speaking the truth, regardless of me rocking ass on paper.

I would just like to add that I can justify it to myself during the week, because after a long day of sober work I don't think there is anything wrong with chilling out while smoking. Most other people only sit in front of the tv/computer sober and/or drunk.. during the week. Smoking in the evening actually helps me to get creative and so some things or "study" some.... compared to my sober girlfriend who is lounging in the coach (she's doing a phd so it's not that she's lazy)

HOWEVER... you are totally right about the weekends.. or other social events.~~

You are right... it kind of hit me a few weeks ago when I was at a "friends" wedding (to which I didn't really want to go .. cause I felt more like blazing it up at home). I caught another friend blazing it up in the parking lot. For the first time ever I thought that was pathetic. Then it hit me that I was on my way home lol. ** One post-rant question ... Do you actually enjoy going to these events now ? Because I don't think it's the weed that makes me think that most of the non-activity (like karting or paintball or even a movie) related events are extremely boring and only exist because those people are alone at home or can't be content doing some productive there.**

No.. instead we must all go sit around a table with a drink and talk pointlessly into the evening. Sorry, I prefer doing that at home over skype with my friends while playing online together or something... regardless of the weed.
