Yet another feature in Chrome that exists, and I had no idea it did.
Watching some Top Gear, need to convert mph into kmh.


Oh.
(mph into kmh is the same conversion as miles into kilometers since you can eliminate h from the equation)

easily my favorite chrome feature

Go read the comments, people are fucking stupid if they can't tell that that's fake. Then the guy who uploaded it has the dumbest sense of "Oh it'll work if I do this shit because I don't even know how the PSVita will load stuff or any of this I mean it isn't even released and he supposedly has GTA IV running on it. God I hate him already.

It doesn't even line up with the bloody screen.

If I want to play with Linux and run it for a couple of days should I use Wubi or just a VM?

Well.. This is stupid, observium doesn't like dell's IPMI protocol. Oh well.

I don't know why people don't like the Metro UI.

I find it very fluid and intuitive.

As far as usability goes it's probably a very nice UI that I wouldn't mind using.

I just don't like the way it looks. Too many damn squares.

Honest question, have you actually used it?

For me it's because I use my desktop pretty much solely for storing stuff. Easy to drag & drop files and folders into FTP programs and the like. Metro wouldn't really allow that, unless I went back to the normal desktop, and that would kind of defeat the purpose. Of course, if I could have a normal desktop on one monitor and a metro one on the other, that would be quite cool.

Or I could just get used to the new UI, that's also one option.

You still have a desktop, metro pops up when you click the start button.

Oh. Thank you for clarifying.
Looking forward to it, then.

Is there (or will there be) a feature to change the start menu from that horrid green color? I find that the most irritating thing, and I love Metro

You mean the background? No, but I believe there will be.

[pure.Joseph]

Anyone here run Nvidia Surround or Eyefinity?

[Makol]

Not me. Three monitors seem like too much for me, plus I don't need that much desktop space.

ALSO I'm gonna be gone for like two weeks because I have College midterms next week and one too many projects to do. But I'll maybe post when my Bitfenix cables and other doodads I ordered for my case come in.

I heard good things about them bitfenix extensions.

Goodluck with your midterms btw!

[Makol]

Yeah I did too.

I bought a whole bunch from a reseller since Bitfenix's store has been down for months now, but that was a bad idea since they're sending me two cables per week from what I can tell. Oh well, at least they're showing up and I'm in no rush to get them.

I also got three GELID fans, two 120mm and one 140mm, but I have no idea when those things are going to arrive.

Edited:

Also I've been reading your build log, kind reminds me of one my friends and I did a while back.

No I don't. I work for a private company, but given the fact that I compete with some known people on here, I want to stay private. Wingless knows what I do though :).


Some of my servers are in WebNX, they are rentals yes, I got such a great deal it was hard to pass on. Once SB-E releases, we'll be building servers on that platform forsure.

PS: I plan on leaving my current company soon and working by myself, also wingless, once I get my grant, I'm flying you to California to work on some awesome stuff with me.


PPS: DONT TELL ANYONE! EDIT: Who cares, we're all friends right?

That I didn't really care about, a simply rdns on my IP blocks will show that they are from WebNX. I believe we have 2 /28's and 2 /27's. from them currently.

I'm kinda stunned. Fuck yeah.

There is a guy on Overclock.net that took apart his C2 and painted all the plastic white. Looks awesome. I'm considering doing the same with mine when I go to watercool.

I haven't been to Overclock.net in months. I keep getting emails about all the threads I subbed to.

You know what's awesome?
Getting a free VPS on an i7-3930k (with access to 6 threads), 4GB of RAM and 2.4TB of Bandwidth.
Yep.

How did you get that?

Also, I'm just in love with this HAF X. It's amazing.

Talking to an old friend about taking some of the front grills back to California and painting them blue along with a few other parts possibly.

Also, anyone know of where I can get 5.25 inch bay adapter that'd allow me to install 120mm fans?

It helps to know awesome people. I've been told not to tell anyone who though, so it's a secret.

Very simple.

Buy the drive, wait 24 hours, buy another, wait 24 hours, then buy another. Rinse and repeat., or should I say format and repeat, wait no.
