I highly recommend ThinkPads, I love mine. They always come with a lot of nice stuff and they're very solidly built long-lasting laptops.
Is it worth getting the warranty?
Eh, I have a Compaq laptop from a LONG time ago that still functions._j5689_ wrote:

If you're computer savvy, know how to Google and don't mind taking things apart...I wouldn't bother.FFLink wrote:

Just realized I'm gonna need a new laptop for school in September. Don't suppose anyone has suggestions for one that can run 3 virtual machines (Windows client + Windows Server + Backtrack linux) for <$1000

Is there something like tasker for OSX? What I'd like to do is run SABnzbd+ and sickbeard when I connnect to a certain wlan, turn on bluetooth and turn off wlan when I connect to a monitor and stuff like that. Ideas?
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
I am doing an exam, and I joined the class late and it has a section on POST. I can't find any readings of it online as everytime I search it comes up with australia post or post it notes and I never learnt it. Halp.
Power On Self Test should be a more helpful search term
why the fuck do they care about this shit
Any nightly users that can tell me how to change the page that loads when you open a new tab?
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
tools>internet options>tabs> halfway down lies your answer

Haven't tried it, but here's an add-on.

Anybody else having issues with nVidia's new 320.18 drivers? Apparently a lot of other people with GTX 560 Ti's like me are either getting their cards bricked or getting BSODs because of the drivers.
I'm lucky enough to only get an input freeze with the possibility of either coming back in 15 seconds or the computer does a hard reset on itself. Reverted back to 314.22 and reinstalled them again just to get the same thing.

Holy shit. Actual bricked cards?
That's insane. I updated the other day, but haven't actually gamed since.
460 SLI.

why would you revert back to old drivers and not keep them until nvidia fixed the problems
In the hopes that it was just a bad installation, it was only after that that I read people with 560s and 560 Ti's were having issues with the drivers so I'm just staying on the old ones now.
Apparently people had already been having framerate issues with the beta on several different cards and it still does the same thing on the official release. It took them forever to get this update out and it doesn't even work right because most of the update was probably laying down the streaming framework for that new "Shield" thing

if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
Lucky you then, I just can't use them till they release new ones. Sucks cuz I kind of wanted the boosts in Tomb Raider
This is what I call amazing Haswell motherboard.

To save space, they just put some of the PCB vertical? Genius.
Almost updated to 320.18 drivers. My finger was on the button until I started looking at some of the comments. Grabbed 314.22 instead. Sorry, NVIDIA.
Not a new idea...FFLink wrote:

Obviously.
