Whatever. After 20 years of exposure to the language and taking it three years years in high school (I only failed once because I can't speak in Spanish at all) and seeing it written as "si" in handwriting and emails I'm sticking with "si". Plus it seems like people will know what you're talking about.

Holy fuck. 1680x1050 looks really fucking small on a 15" laptop screen..

That's why I didn't get the 1920x1080 version of my laptop. It'd be way too small on a 15" laptop.

[tratzzz]

I have seen a 15" with 1080p

Small icons for the taskbar were turned on.

And all the icons were the smallest.

How the fuuuuuuuck could she use it.

"si" is "if" in french.

People will be able to tell most of the time based on context. Also where is your mother from? Some of the South American countries might do it differently.

She's from Los Angeles

My grandmother and pretty much all my relatives are spread across Mexico and South America.

We're everywhere, hell some are even Iceland. Mexicans in Iceland sounds weird.

Why the fuck would a laptop make a high pitched sound when you are scrolling down? Almost like it is hardcoded in, I did not use the scroll-thingy on the touchpad.

And sound was turned off.

How does she say if then? I'm intrigued.

Also my great great great something grandfather is Antonio López de Santa Anna for reference of my super weird Mexican heritage.

   and my great great great something uncle is Sam Houston!

Good question. Normally the emails are short and sweet, but I can go back and look.

It could be that I'm so adjust to seeing "si" as both "yes" and "if" I don't even realize it.

New computer is here, would like to buy a comfy headset or headphones + mic to go with it, £50 budget I guess, looking at the Logitech G330 as all I want is something I can Skype with friends or make an occasional video with. Already have an Alienware TactX headset but it's too heavy to be comfortable.

HTF-600's and a Zalman Clip-On or Modmic.

My desktop does this too when I'm moving mouse or scrolling.

New video cards tend to do that.

Did you see the last part?

However, the flood situation isn't the only factor that will affect HDD prices. With increase in prices of raw materials, components, and labour-costs, HDD prices are expected to go up 30-40%.

oh wait I just noticed I read the first paragraph and forgot about the rest being there

I wonder if someone here has the processing power to do this...

Brt?

[Ooops: 404]

So, why do the realtek drivers make my mic feedback?

My school has blocked EXEs but not Executable jar's

 {
 try
 {
 Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
 Process p = rt.exec("application.exe");
 }

 catch(Exception e)

Yeah, because every students knows what a jar file is and how to program in Java.

It's pretty easy to change 'application.exe' to the desired application and build it

[tratzzz]

But what do you use to build it?

dun dun dun!

Still, I doubt that most of the students don't even know what is Eclipse for or what does build mean.

You'd still have to set up the virtual network with the whole "monitoring system that adds and wipes machines at random".

[[EG] Pepper]

My heavily modified 8800GS cooler fell off just a second ago

so what did i do?

CABLE TIE IT BACK ON

[Makol]

How did it fall off?

[[EG] Pepper]

I just picked it up by the blue fan shroud and the card and heatsink fell out

Edited:

The card still works with its ULTRA GAMING BLACK CABLE TIES

[Shadaez]

WHERE CAN I GET LAPTOP SCREWS?

It it's just the plastic part, take it off.

But the fan is in the plastic part

how about linux cronjobs, to add/remove random vm's at certain times?, or windows Scheduled tasks?

Virtualbox + cronjob

[VistaPOWA]

do it.

[ctlilc]

For the monitoring part maybe whatsupgold.com.
I don't know if you can add custom filters to see if there is a virus on the system but you can read syslogs and ping machines + have a graphical interface with colorcoding of machines and network connections.
