  3. It's not dead, it's fun! on Is Overclocking Over? · · Score: 5, Informative

    For me, It's fun and I could care less what some dude did with liquid nitrogen.

    First computer, I just used Asus Overclock and felt I got more for my money.
    Second computer, I started fiddling with manual settings.
    Third computer I pushed it until I couldn't get rid of the heat with air cooling.
    Fourth and current computer, water cooled and running awesome (6 cores at 4.3 GHz).

    Each time I felt the progress, it's like leveling your character, but the character is you, and the game is real life!

    Maybe the reason was that the war with the axis had nothing to do with stealing resources from third world countries?

    I have a feeling if a genuine evil shows up, with a genuine threat to the american life, then the current generation will become the greatest generation + 1.

    This isn't for college-level calculus teachers....

    This is for those kids that tried your course and didn't understand shit.
    Key concepts that just didn't make it into their brains can now be smoothed out instead of being a huge gap in the course ware.
    Kinda understanding some few key concepts which allows you to grasp the whole better is better than not understanding a few key concepts and getting hung up on it and failing everything.

  11. Love and Tender Care on Ask Slashdot: Best Long-Term Video/Picture Storage? · · Score: -1

    That is the solution.

    It doesnt matter how you choose to backup your data.
    What matters is that you dont just put it there and forget it.

    If this was me, I would get 5-6 drives in a nice little NAS box with a RAID that doesnt let a dead disk ruin the whole thing.
    Look over the drives and replace them as time goes by.

    Every few years, buy a new NAS box to make sure you have newest chipsets etc.

  12. Who cares? on Microsoft Responds To Linux Concerns Over Windows 8 and UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: -1

    Honestly...

    Anyone who wants to use dualboot is not going to buy a DELL computer.

    And anyone buying a DELL computer wont know what dualboot is, much less worry about it being locked out.

    And it uses voice-analysis software to help assess whether the person is truthfully answering questions that include “Are you employed?”

    To get a credit card in the U.S you just write on the application "YES I MAKE $90 000 PER YEAR" and they just take your word for it.

    I think the story to take home here was more like:

    Don't go to England and drive on the wrong side of the road and break your legs in a car accident, if you don't know how to repair your legs, the other guys legs and both cars!

  16. Re:I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 0

    Just know this, Lost's ending was written before the first season started.
    And they did not anticipate the show to be this successful.

    Hilarity ensues as they try to connect the beginning and the end with an extra unplanned 6 seasons in between.

  17. Re:My 2TB hard drive is so big... on 3TB Hard Drives Square Off Against Everything Else · · Score: 0

    When you watch video on your computer, do you watch it in 100x100 resolution?

    My guess is you don't watch it in full bluray quality, but you sure as hell watch it in better quality than they had "back when".

    So don't worry, soon 3TB will be on USB 8.0 drives and you will still need to get the 3.5 TB version to install your favorite OS from it.

    So let me get this straight....

    You - a foreigner, went to japan, stayed with a female teenager and asked the teenager if she or her friends drink alcohol?

    Not only that, but if they drink alcohol from vending machines, which would imply they buy it without adult supervision?

    I'm sure you had a great Vending experience :)

    I think they changed the url in the story, it's weird, I just noticed the login page myself.

    First time I clicked, I didn't get the login page.

    Either that, or it's some funky view once, then pay url in the article.

    Since nytimes requires a referer in order to show the printpage, it's not fixable by slashdot.
