ok. you could look at a replacement fan for the duct, or replacement HSF unit of some sort.

any info on the proper operating temps of your cpu?

i would imagine that most schools would have gaming-related app ports blocked. cant have the edu net used for fun now can we!

My Zelda tattoo is on my back. It shouldn't be odd. and since its done pin-up style, its only obvious to another TF2 junkie that its a "pyro" themed tat. :-) anyways, i actually did the heavy.jpg up as a spray. the problem is that they have quite a bit of detail, and are not square. squar...

i think i may have seen a memory error one time. but thats it.

I'm assuming that under "Temperatures" is at least 1 system temperature, I would have said that there would have been a CPU temp there but thats seperate. there are ususally several temperature sensors on a motherboard. usually one of those is under the CPU. the rest measure ambient temp ...

Zoth, our current PM isn't UNIVERSALLY hated. He's just awkward, what with being a conservative in charge of a liberal country. yea, hes pretty much a huge dork. big, awkward, useless dork. but at least hes nice to cats. http://weblogs.ryerson.ca/roller/f08jrn112s021/resource/harper.JPG is it just ...

MODS: can we make this a sticky thread? I looked at one of the "how do i make a spray" threads this morning and noticed there was a Paint.NET build of Nem's VTF plugin. I figured I should be able to muddle my way through getting this figured out without too much problem. Here are the basi...

I managed to do the spy one, but the others have more height than width so im afraid i might distort them beyond repair. Ill send you the spy spray since i can seem to add it as a file. try using crop instead of resize/scale. edit : while i think about it, there _was_ a "how to make sprays&quo...

I don't know much about Canadian politics, but I'm fairly certain that his guy is the prime minister. he does look a bit like our little Stevie Harper.... the 613 is even the area code for Ottawa. this video immediately made me think of this. yea, thats Tom Green there.... dont watch for long, its ...

anybody use last.fm?

this is me: http://www.last.fm/user/z0th

i listen to some fairly marginalized music, but feel free to add me if you want.

edit: sppeling. speeling.... SPELLING.

im just thinking that possibly you have a map or maps with the same name, but different contents in the bzipped file. this would be due to the author updating the map, but not changing the actual name. ive had this happen a couple of times myself in TF2, as well as other games that use downloadable ...

love the pic of the GG bridge in SF, and the pic of Yosemite is great too. i really like the "up the tree" shot! you mind if i run it thru Lightroom?

whats the story behind the broken car window? robbed?

could it be maps themselves? have you tried deleting the offending maps? or the entire contents of the map dir?

Yea I find that annoying. Also having to restart the machine to apply the changes!! Why Microsoft! Default Workgroup for XP and Vista Home Premium is WORKGROUP. So long as all your PC's are in the same Workgroup then they should all see each other, as for file sharing between PC's on the network th...

memtest86x+ can help you out with memory testing. bootable ISO images at the link. download the zipped image, burn it to cd, or install to USB key and reboot. let the test run for a few hours if possible -- it will spit any errors out to screen. incidentally, the dummies from steam support wanted m...

just at first glance, these dont look to be all that out of the ordinary. are you noticing problems? [[ anyone can correct me here if im off on something, im just going on memory for the most part. ]] first off, dont let the numbers scare you. the Voltages section are what are often refered to as po...

okay why would you want to live out in the fucking middle of nowwhere ugh, guys! Uhh, because I can't stand people. i have a healthy dislike for the bulk of society as well. but i grew up in the country and really have no wish to live/work there anymore. right now, there are a couple of places i'd ...

of the lit up town? i thought it was kinda cool actually. this thread made me re-think a few of my old blurry photos. so thanks! heres a couple i 'shopped this afternoon from the Mono No Aware show in Montreal in may of '08. kenetik_noise_751-mono_no_aware-crop-BW-txt-1024px.jpg kenetik_noise_730-mo...

douchebaggery runs rampant pretty much everywhere. poor driving is one of my pet peeves. I cannot think of an example, but i live in detroit and i can honestly say that we may have some of the WORST drivers EVER! Often people will just slide across 4 lane highways with no warning and cutting 2-3 peo...

ditto! keep it up. the dragon and the snake remind of of some really good graf i recently saw down on Queen St.

you can also use the "img" tags outlined here to link directly to a pic without uploading anything to the forum itself.

its simple really. just surround the url path to the image with the tags.

a collegue of mine had a 5-6 cans/day coca-cola habit -- hes got a stomach ulcer now. his doctor said it was the contributing factor, that and the fact that hes a high-stress individual.

NOTHING INTERESTING EVER HAPPENS AT BAND CAMP.

sounds like you are going to the wrong band camp.

can you disable the onboard sound in BIOS? the onboard and the expansion card might be trying to use the same resources.

OK, W7RC installed and working. I had Kbuntu on my spare HD for awhile but couldn't get my Creative X-Fi gamer sound card to work. You have to compile the drivers and that's beyond me. Couldn't get any help on a linux forum to uninstal but I figured it out. Thought I lost all my recent work but Vis...

if you want into the BIOS, watch the boot up sequence -- it should actually TELL you what key to hit for whatever function. its usually one of the following keys that you need to hit. Delete F2 F10 delete is the most common on OEM or homebrew systems. so if this guy bought from a local pc dealer, or...
