To show that I conquered it... nice idea... only we don't go to the store for a while. Yep, it's still doing nothing worth saying. Did I mention that I think my microSD card is dying?

I've been putting it on the slab of wood between my windows (normal window and storm window), and letting it sun. Not even the battery indicator will stay on for more than three seconds. I think I'm screwed. Edit: Grammar.exe has stopped working. Would you like to send an error report?

Kind of off topic, but is your avatar your child, ddrueding?

I'll just leave this here.

I've been looking at them and all, but if I can't fix my GTab I think I'll just drop out of the Android world until I have a source of income. With our funds, I basically have to go with what I have and what I can get for free.

We don't have any.

So yeah. Yesterday = not a good day. Among other things this happened. I couldn't make it stop booting in safe mode. Everything else worked so I know it's still alive, however after I let it dry and turned it on again... it's in a bootloop right now and I can't make it stop so I think I'll just...

Some BEN DROWNED for you. Beware, profanity ahead. BTW, Google TTS is hilarious.

^ Saved. Funnily enough, we're doing a unit on Animal Farm in English II.

I use the Universal USB installer to make my flash drives bootable. Never had an issue. Well, I had an issue on my laptop when I had my wireless mouse plugged in but that got fixed in relatively short order. I know you can put XP SP3 setup on a flash drive, but how would one go about that?

I'm just gonna leave this here.

I'll just pretend I originally included a link.... Oh, wait, I can't pretend that BECAUSE I CAN'T EDIT THE POST NOW. So, http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UNI041A <--- THERE you go.

Interestingly enough, with the Radeon 9550 and Windows 7, I no longer have these issues. It was only with the GeForce2 MX and Windows XP.

I don't think I can. On my monitor, I've never had this issue pop up. I've all my applications set up to use 1440 x 900 now anyway, and as long as I sit close enough I can read it fine. Thanks for the help, anyway!

When I set the resolution lower than the monitor's optimal, 1440x900, the res will center in the screen with a border comprising of the unused pixels going around it. I can't find the option in my catalyst software to set it to stretch. I want to set it to 1280x768 so I can see it better. I...

And for DOOM and DOOM II, take away the soundtrack and you get an even eerier game. The Jaguar port and Playstation port of DOOM didn't have music, but were by far the truest to the original in terms of graphics for a console port. In the words of the Angry Video Game Nerd during his Jaguar...

You're right, I wasn't even a twinkle in my dad's eye when DOOM was new, nor DOOM II, but I do remember the first time I played it, on my older brother's computer. Same for Diablo 1 and II. Scarred for life.

Seems pretty nice... I am sooo ready to compile an ICS build for my phone. I don't use it as a phone anyway and chrome would definitely be worth it. Seeing as ICS was worth it on my GTab, and it runs mostly the exact same hardware (the phone has a 320x480 screen where the GTab has a 1024x600...

I've seen games like Amnesia or Slender. Minecraft can even be scary. I mean, think about it. You're one human in a world where nearly everything is out to get you. Ambient sounds make you wonder whether you're really alone, even in peaceful mode. I got ahold of a PSX emulator the other day...

Jeez, not only do you guys have godly machines but you also have booze "collections"? I give up, I can't compete and probably will never be able to.

For those of you who actually like your keys to click, here you go. A USB replica IBM Model M keyboard from Unicomp. Price is too steep for me but ya know whatever. They also make versions with Trackpoints, windows keys, etc etc. They can be ordered to be PS/2 or USB. Pretty snazzy if I do say...

TeamFourStar makes a darn good DBZ parody. It is funny enough that people who aren't really into anime can get into it, and it makes many subtle references and nods to certain DBZ trivia. It's at episode 40 right now, just about ready to get into the cell saga, and the website is...

Hmm, when I get money I may have to look into that. I hate my SE198WFP. It's scratched (courtesy of our move up here), it is dimmer in some areas than others, I think it may be dying, and yet it's the only monitor I own with a DVI port and that's all my Radeon will put out, other than S-Video...

I was more or less kidding. I can't afford that stuff. My budget is non-existent. A donation, however... Just kidding. I don't want to feel like I owe anyone, makes me feel weird talking to them.

... Like I said, if you don't want it and are just going to throw it away, give me a holler... HINT HINT HINT (Am I being subtle enough? :) )

Couldn't edit fast enough D: I never thought ESD to be much of an issue either. Probably why my freebie RAM for my old desktop fried before I put it in. But, coming out of a scavenged computer I figured I couldn't have expected much. I mean, it was trashed for a reason right? The toolkit that...

You gotta be kidding! An i7, slow? I'll take it off your hands if you want, Sant... I'm not picky. Also, I agree, if I were to buy an i7 (which defies all logic I possess, being on a budget and all) I would go for the 4770k. It appears to be massively overclockable, I read about certain...

Teehee, anyway I get shopping for monitors at costco because not everyone has the money for 4k displays. No costco around here, so that leaves meijer and walmart. Sadly there the monitors tend to be bundled with full machines. (shudder)

Win 7 is installed. On a whim switched ports, and lo and behold it lives.

Wow. Yeah, anyway. So it lacks delete and insert keys? Holy crap, they do not have the power user's best interests at heart here... I use the delete key constantly, and while I honestly have no idea what Insert is really used for... If they'd done that to the Home/End keys I wouldn't have...

wonderful. looks like im making another ISO! that AXP doesnt have an optical drive, as it can boot from USB and I use isos and daemon tools for everything else. tomorrow. I'm done kicking it around for tonight.

Also, I remember it installed okay when it was on the integrated GFX (despite not having proper drivers for it, a VIA/S3G Unichrome IGP). Should I take the card out and then try, and once it finishes (if it finishes) put it back in?

... Okay, so I'm trying to install 7 Ultimate x86. It freezes after 1% of expanding. Thoughts? I remember for my laptop, setting up Home Premium was a chore because I had to unplug my mouse or else it would hang on Completing Installation. So yeah, having that Radeon in there is pretty nifty...

I just procured an ATi Radeon 9550 AGP for my AXP. Some research indicated that there are, in fact WDDM drivers for it! Dunno if I'm actually going to install 7 on it, but it's nice to know that I can if I want to.

I kind of want to get my hands on my relative's old A64. Single Core. Same model computer, too! HP Pavilion A700N. Mine's an Athlon XP 3000+ with a 333MHz FSB. Theirs is a single A64. They don't use it anymore. I really hope they don't throw it away. Also, their monitor (exactly the same as...

Sherlock!

I don't want to sound ignorant, but how is Windows Picture and Fax viewer an attack vector, exactly? And wouldn't those vulnerabilities also affect alternate image viewers? mubs: Why not? I do it for my old games that crash WINE. Aside from UT '99 only being playable in a window (seems to be a...

I was under the impression that SSDs outlasted HDDs because of their lack of moving parts. Is this not the case? You can't write to an SSD as many times as you can an HDD?

I've used Macrium Reflect Free in the past, and honestly I was pretty happy with it. It cloned reasonably fast and had restore media, not that I ever got around to using it or anything... Of course, I haven't changed drives and tried to restore yet either, so I don't know how well that works...

Decided to give Mint another go on the laptop. I'm proud of myself! I managed to get wifi working first try! And now that I've really figured out VirtualBox, virtualization is a good choice for running my old games as it appears WINE is not up to the task. Funnily enough, the web handles...

It's in the vein of Xubuntu and Lubuntu in that it's a version of Ubuntu for low-end and/or older systems. WattOS though runs on far less (192 MB during install, less than 128 MB after) and is by far the most fully featured (including the option of three different shells, not unlike Mint). The...

When I went to replace my keyboard, this was my greatest fear because they made it plain as day that if you screw up you have to replace the whole board, or look ghetto as hell while using an external keyboard.

Well, it ran regular aero, transparency and all, just fine. I turned off transparency with the 8 theme enabled and I really notice no difference. If anything it's a little speedier, but nothing I'd write home about.

I happen to like the "flat" look and find it easier on RAM. My laptop isn't going to get a discernable speed increase from setting everything to classic.

What do you think about the more complex ones, ones that replace certain UI-specific system files? I installed a Windows 8 theme onto my laptop yesterday, and had to break out my Debian DVD so I could copy certain files that were in use while Windows was running. All in all the creator did a...

Dunno what Lubuntu used, but XP uses ~200 MB on a 1GB system. I noticed that Windows XP and Vista are not terribly efficient with RAM - XP is more efficient with 512 MB than with 2GB, and Vista isn't efficient with anything, but 7 ran all around very well on my P4, considering it was on minimum...

I'm done reinstalling. Windows 7, all my programs, and a fairly invasive Windows 8 theme (invasive as it replaced 99% of my original shell, from explorer buttons to explorer window borders to sounds to cursors to log on screens to boot screens and everything in between), are all installed. You...

Relative decided they didnt want to void their warranty. So Windows 7 it is. Will reinstall when I get home. Its probably for the best. With win7 comes Chrome again.

And while were on the subject of Windows 8.x, I couldn't really tell you if I hated it or not - - I'm having issues playing my games, but that's more hardware and driver related, and while everythings very different, I guess I'll get used to it in the long run. Like the jump from Win3.1 to...
