All right, I'll do that.

 

Using XP after having used Linux for so long is strange, but kind of nice. It's like hooking up with an ex-girlfriend after you've been with other people.

 

That's a really weird comparision, but somehow it makes sense to me. And, no....I'm not fucking my computer.

 

IT'S JUST A COMPARISION. DON'T GET IT TWISTED.

oh, come on, don't say you haven't looked at that sexy ass boot screen and said "damn....microsoft is lookin mighty fine toooooday!! uh!"

 

haha. this is funny. i got bored and decided that my last install was too cluttered. so i format

the drive and reinstall barely naked (nekkid here in the south).

i'm just getting shit back together on it. luckily, i'm awesome and computer knows it.

it's pretty much being my bitch right now. not a hiccup in sight.

 

the main thing i was having trouble with is an old reg value that wasn't going away. it was preventing me from installing "ntune" and clocking my ram and gpu to optimal performance.

i've got some odd amount of ram and i don't like doing the math for the ras and cas shits.

 

so, while business is slow, i'm doing some "fun" junk with the ole' compruter.

Ha ha... well, the Windiz thing didn't work due to some WOW32.dll thing, so I DL'ed it and am now trying to remember where the :plugins directory is. I'm tired, I've been doing this too long....now, spectr's on his way here. He probably needs me to mule some flake over the border.

Wait...I have a Dell. In fact, I'm using it right now.

 

I did buy it at the North Oakland version of Sanford and Son, though.

 

That is a pretty funny prank. Next time you do that, use RockLinux...it's 100% CLI. They'll never figure it out.

 

Oh...better yet, there's a Debian-based distro that's entirely in Nepalese. That will completely blow their minds.

no we are not like that mike what you need is tell us how much you are looking to spend it has alot to do with what you can be in the field of getting

 

how much room do you need on the external harddrive this will be in the gigabyte or terabyte range 1024mb = 1 gb 1024 gb = you guessed it 1 terabyte 1024tb = ??? you tell me, and so on

 

will you be burning movies and things with the new dvd burner if so you might want to get a dvd+_- and we got to find out if yer motherboard will support a new dvd rom or a external hardrive

 

and another thing we need to find out what type a connection yer computer can handle for the external harddrive

 

 

 

and yet again NEVER SHOP COMPUSA

 

 

the sites you want to stick to are *newegg.com

and buy.com (2nd choice)

A friend send me a .WMV file (i think - it was a movie) via MSN Messenger, and as soon as I tried to open it, windows 'blocked' it for being potentially harmful. It is no longer in received files. How do I remedy this?

 

(I run Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security)

dam this was a hard post to make. man my laptop been fucking up since shai touched it......

 

No, that's a side effect for people who threaten to break into my room and put keyloggers on my comp.

 

What's wrong with it? Wait a minute...is Opera running slow for you, too? It went bonkers on the XP install right after you left...then I booted up the Linux drive- same thing. Weird.

 

So, I can't blame you, although it would be nice.

Okay. I dont really know where to begin.

 

Yeah I will be burning massive amounts of dvds.

 

The computer isnt that old.

 

I have around 70g of hard drive space, its getting used up way too quick.

 

I have 5 free USB ports 3 in the back 2 in the front.

 

upon further inspection it looks like i can burn cds with this drive, but there is no program to burn with on this computer. Perhaps my cousin sold that program for crank before i repo'd this machine from her.

 

anywhoWhat info do you need? I could spend limitless amounts of money on this stuff but id like to keep it all around $400-500 if possible.

 

I dont need terabytes. Thats a rediculous amount of space. Maybe around a 300g or so external hd.

I'm back...my roommate, Mr. Funny Guy, thought it would be a hoot to switch my ethernet cable from the router to the wireless hub...thus, resulting in endless dropped packets. Without telling me, of course. It's fixed...but, jeez, I thought both my computers were hosed. Not cool, mang.

 

So, what should I do to get even?
