I filled my computer full of milk. runs cooler now.

I once spent four hours trying to figure out why a server wouldn't boot just to find out the RAID card wasn't configured. :/

I only mod when baked as fuck.

I hear you OP. I hear you :)

One afternoon ant went to buy a new cpu cooler, on the way home I smoked a ginormous spliff.
When I got home I ripped my computer apart, installed the new cpu cooler, put it back together, try to turn it on, nothing happened, double checked all connectors, everything was fine.

So I took apart again, put it back together, press the power button, nothing.
I'm like fuck, I fried my computer.
I take it apart one more time, check if the cpu is sitting right in it's socket. It's fine.
Put it back together, turn on the PSU, press the power button

its stuff like this that make tinkering with puters stoned not the best idea. I spent a while recently, in the middle of trying to track down a genuine fault, wondering why the fuck my PC suddenly wouldnt even POST. I had the side off and was checking connections trying different RAM and generally getting frustrated when I noticed I had the keyboard in the mouse socket and vice versa.
on the other hand, you can come up with some inspirational ideas for new cooling solutions.

As long as you point it to the partition the OS is on, it shouldn't. However, backing everything up if possible would be advised.

>That'd be like your car, instead of showing a "check oil" light on your dashboard, automatically starts driving to the nearest oil change place without you being able to control it...

It'd be more akin to "Holy shit, the engine is running out of oil during the oil change! I should turn off the engine against the user's will to keep it from causing irreparable damage."

Well for one, we have a UPS, secondly, this building has a generator, and finally, you can't compare an unavoidable natural problem like a power outage with deliberate inept programming by microsoft. There is never a situation where it's acceptable to automatically and forcibly reboot a computer without any interaction from the user.
By your reasoning I should unplug my computer every night and put it on a high shelf just in case there's a flood...

>...never a situation where it's acceptable to automatically and forcibly reboot a computer without any interaction from the user.

So all this time thermal management is a lie! I should be allowed to run a processor at 475 degrees if I want to without it shutting down for any reason!

I haven't the motivation to list it's bullshit.

Yes, I damn well should be able to. I'm not saying it's a good idea if you want a computer to use in the future, but protecting someone from themself creates users who lack common sense when the "training wheels" are taken off.

Though I do think the "training wheels" should be left on for 99.999% of the users who use comptuers, but they should still be able to be disabled.

uh, you can't store a >4GB file on a FAT32 system.

so no.

What'd you rip them as? A video file?

If your on a mac and theres no copy protection use Handbrake. Windows not so sure.

not all DVDs are built as one giant VIDEO.TS file.

>uh, you can't store a >4GB file on a FAT32 system.

Most ripped DVD's are less than a gig if done properly.
Also, fat32 cannot TRANSFER a file over 2 gigs.

google psp conveter
extract from that and turn to a .avi file

bump again

/tech/ needs moar information.

How comfortable are you with the command line?

>>26113

i can manage myself. i've already tried a bunch of stuff: fsck, gksudo nautilus, etc... Nothing works. Currently I'm upgrading to 9.10 to see if it works.

erm... bump again.

>>26121
Show some patience. You don't need to keep bumping your own thread. The pic you chose makes it kind of easy to find, but it's not as though we spend every waking moment browsing /tech/.

Diagnosing something like this over an image board is almost an exercise in futility, but here goes:

Is it mounted? What does 'mount -l' say?
What do you get from 'lsusb -v' ? (I'm assuming the external is USB).

God dammit why do you niggers always clog up perfectly good services by doing stupid shit like running torrents through TOR fuck you I hope you die

i run it through jon do first then tor. at tops i use 70 kbs per second cuz its coming in through jon do. i upload far more than i download.

im behind jon do ,a filter ,and tor with polipo

i run relay

>keyboard
>scroll bar

my mind is going, I can feel it.

I have this same issue occasionally, and I've found no rhyme or reason to it. Try clicking on the page itself, in a blank area that's just background (nothing that will link) and scrolling.

>>26082

Ive tried that but to no avail. It did work for a long time until yesterday.

I also noticed this doesnt happen in Chrome (Using firefox atm) so Im guessing I played with a keyboard shortcut that messed with a configuration setting.

I installed the Smooth Scrolling application and it somewhat solved the problem, but its still a bit awkward.

And I also meant to say add-on, not application.

sorry for the double post 420cha wouldnt respond

I know CS5 will have a tool to take your flash project and make it ready to be an iphone app

Protips:

• Torrents are slow, torrenting trough a proxy will give you insanely slow speeds.
• Yes, all IPs can be tracked, rather easily.
• To find HTTP based proxies go to http://www.proxy.org
• The best practice for "safe" torrenting is to do it via a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
• HTTP Based proxies are a false sense of security, most are based in the US and server logs can be easily obtained via subpoena.
• See the attached image for further guidance.

As mentioned above, I wouldn't use a proxy to torrent because of how extraordinarily slow it would be. I use Tor for a lot of "questionable" HTTP traffic, but speed is hit or miss (sometimes sites won't even load at all).

Tor is fun, but I wouldn't use it for transmitting any "questionable" content, recently there has been some concern over rogue exit nodes.
