This would be :fap: Just forgo their own attempt and bring full steam integration into a console (with obviously separate catalogues from the PC) but a single account across both unified friends list where you can change your name at will. It'll never happen, Nintendo moves to quickly for Valve time.

That was....something indeed. I was too two things last night really tired and really drunk. Luckily I sit in a recliner because that's where I fell asleep with my laptop on my lap in an active chatroom and listening to Super Troopers in the background. I woke up at 5:11 and it was extremely hard to focus my eyes to tell what time it was. I was still buzzing pretty hard and making it to me bed which is practically touching the chair was hard.

Laptops do run hotter than desktops. However, with relatively low air flow my CPU still only gets to about 50 under load (gaming) right now it's hovering at 40.

I'd say over 55-60C for CPU is what I'd be comfortable with for semi-significant amount of time, that's still rather high though. That said, a CPU will go to 100C before the fail safe kicks in and just shuts down the PC. The higher the temp the sooner the chip will burn out. Generally around high 30's to low 40's is a good place to be. Motherboards, I have no clue, but in Pancake's screencap the temp is in red so that's apparently severe. Of note, at 78C the color was only orange/yellow for the CPU. A high-end GPU runs much hotter though, 70-80 under load is not uncommon now, and Hard Drives should stay under 50 (according to what Speccy determined by mine).

It's the fan, which would be the whirring noise. Those temps are waaaay to high. Your laptop is overheating, oh and 2GB of RAM is fine. Back to the fan, my suggestion is you or someone who's comfortable if you aren't popping the case open and cleaning out any dust that has gathered. If there isn't any dust....well things get a bit more complicated. But at those temps your hardware will start to fry itself into oblivion and then you would need a new laptop.

Did this start happening right after the removing memory or is it more recent? If it's recent we can discount that as the cause. Though Emasher (love the sig btw) is right that less RAM=poorer multitasking. Whirring sounds make me think Hard Drive. It is possible your laptop is slowing down to access the HD, but if you're just browsing the internet it shouldn't be accessing it to that extreme. Which...brings us back to RAM. RAM or possibly a virus, run a scan if you can.

This is pretty much the ToS for any image hosting site, which you agree to everytime you upload. It's a bit of a lose lose really, it's shit that they can claim you retain ownership but they can use the picture for any purpose they bloody well please but....the other choice is to....well probably not upload photos.

Less sensitivity=/=better.

If you already have an alright (1-2GB) amount of RAM go ahead and make the jump now, RAM is an easy drop in drop out component that an OS will automagically account for. No reason to make sure you have it all at format/installation. Though I suppose more could speed the process up, but in my experience Win 7 was pretty quick.

That might be even worse, but then again I just don't like things poppin up if I happen to slide the mouse to them for a 10th of a second by accident. Web page word ads are terrible about that. I hide the task bar though, mainly when I'm using a game windowed without a border though so I can freely switch between programs and no taskbar means higher resolutiong.

Bigger isnt always better. Also I think you're wrong but we're all allowed to think differnt things. Mainly I think the bigger one takes up too much space. Obnoxiously large is how I would put it.

I don't know or car what else has benn posted. Point is; Cave "Motherfucking" Johnson is the best. Full stop, the best.

Ahahahhahhdfahlkdsfhas do you Windows 7 people not know how to make your task bar smalle ergo nicer/sexier/moreappealing/less terrible? On this page only The Peeps and Nightwold are doing it right;. I don't even know why I clicked this thread...

Mother's day is so depressing...I usually manage not to think about it, but one of my best friends died the day after Mothers day, coincedntally the day after my sisters wedding. I still remember the class I was sitting in and where that monday morning when the school announced it on the speakers. I didn't know how to feel, but I called my sister and the tears started flowing when I tried to tell her. Can hardly stop them now, 6 years later and I still miss the fucker. I'm going to cross pos this in the drunk thread so please excuse any random mistakes that are horrid. whelp Crtl-V time. fuck chathas me thinking about my Jehova's witness frined now, also depressing fucker use to be almost norma and anow he barely talks to me and is happy visiting us heathens 70 hours a week trying to converty us and working part time the rest of his life so he can marry his jehova GF anbd I'm not even in vited to the fucking weeding and neigther is his fucking sister!

If the CPU temp is rising that quickly I'd suggest reseating the CPU/Heatsink. 49C doesn't seem high enough to cause a crash to me, so the problem may still be else where but it shouldn't rise that quickly. Make sure you clean off all of the old Thermal Compound and get a nice smooth thin layer.

Oooh yeah, that's the lab with the Poltergeist on fire isn't it?

Really STALKER? Give Penumbra and Amnesia a spin then. You may shit yourself. Though I do love me some STALKER, which one have you been playing?

Rather than assuming you mean no drunk post at all (which is lame) I'll assume you mean an even better(drunker?) drunk post! In all of the boards! I don't think anyone would hold it against you....Unless you're into that.

I like winamp. And fucking iTunes! It fucked up my file extensions or something when it imported my library so nothing in my winamp library works but if I go to the folder (which didn't move...) it plays fine. The thing is, iTunes lacks file support, there are a few various things I have to redo to make them work. I'll think I'll just re download The Slip, and it sounded so good in FLAC. Not going to pay $10 for an app to play FLAC either...

Oooo, got the Razor mouse and keyboard as well. Hmm looks like a 6850/6870 for GPU, and...can't make a guess at CPU. Guessing Intel just because. What are the specs though, cause those a usually more interesting that pictures.

My Senn HD 438's arrived and sound fucking wonderful. I recommend. Go figure the iPod actually drives them better than my laptop does, or seems to, never used the ear buds much on the iPod and those were louder on the laptop (which makes sense what with teh speaker being in the ear). In other news work is....going. Sunoil is a bit of a clusterfuck compared to the BP refinery. Finished this semester of school, and to add to the earlier and dropped conversation, I only go to school 22 nights spread from January to May. Once per week, with one week a month having two nights. Basically 5 days a month and May ends early. I don't start again until....August or September I think.

OMG diageo Subsay sounds so good right ow....I wish one was waling distance...plus open. I think I'll just go makyself a sammich instead.

No better time than drunk time to post in the drunk thread which is now. I drank apporx. this much: All at once about 1 hour 45 minutes ago. NEVER drink that uch 151 at once because goddamn it doesn not want to stay down no matter how much you chatse it. It wants back out of the stomach for the first 30 seconds. I'm good though feeling nice and sobering up for 5"30 when I have to leave. Wel I don't have to. I can leave at 5:40 and get to work abotu 6:20 but work doesn't start until 7:00/// I jsut get there fuck all early and take a nap till 5:35-5:40 then go in and jsut wait tlll the day starts. Dunno why I do that I just do. Better to arrive early than late though. Looks good I suppose. Iv'e been wathcing FMA Brothherhood again leately and...it's still amazing just how much better it is that FMA. FMA was emerely alright, watch it once nad...basically forget about it. FMA Brotherhood is abosultely fantastic and not terible and make FMA lok like shit the writers crapped out after binging on charlie sheen shows. Whelp...that's all folks. Oh I gots an iod tough touchi[pod I wonder if I can get looney tunes on it. That'd be great, I also ordered some Seenheiser 438's to go with it so the music doesn't sound l shit.
