I went to see a user whose wireless mouse AND wired mouse were both not working. I got there and this is what I found:
- The wired mouse was actually not a mouse at all...it was the wireless mouse receiver.
- The wireless mouse needed new batteries, but it was in denial and kept lighting up properly anyway.

I just got the news that Office 2010 won't be able to be installed with a .MSI file. :wtf: Fucking Microsoft. I thought that they want everyone to use .MSI installations with GPOs to install software. Now the only way is going back to 1985 style...put it in a fucking batch file.

Assholes.

what is it?

stonehenge 01-27-2010 09:09 PM

Its a battery backup. You plug yo shit in to it so that when the power goes out, yo shit stays on :high5:

These little guys can keep a normal computer/monitor going for long enough to make it through quick power outages or long enough to shut down correctly before the battery dies.

BillyJeanKing 01-27-2010 09:34 PM

kewl

so you could still be on da computer pr0n when the powers out?

theholycow 01-27-2010 09:39 PM

Yup. You have to plug your cable modem into it too, though.

BillyJeanKing 01-27-2010 09:39 PM

non-stop fapping ftw

:word: I want to get one at me house, for now all my shit turns off :blah:

theholycow 01-27-2010 10:05 PM

Just get a laptop. Then you only need to power your router and modem. If they have wall warts, you can just replace the AC power adapter with a direct DC line from your truck (if 12v) or from your laptop USB (if 5v).

Actually I would probably have to power a satellite dish to keep my internet working :rofl2: or do they not have power and are just an antenna? hmm

theholycow 01-27-2010 10:21 PM

If they get power, they get it from the receiver the plugs into them.

:hmm: i should get if i remodel room

stonehenge 01-27-2010 10:30 PM

You don't need to remodel the room to add a battery backup wey

Cez★ 01-27-2010 10:31 PM

nah pero is no have free outlets right now with teh way my room is

stonehenge 01-27-2010 10:32 PM

That is what is pimp. You unplug the computer/monitor and plug them into the battery, the battery takes up 1 plug. So you end up with one more outlet in the wall than you started with. :rofl2:

Cez★ 01-27-2010 10:35 PM

ORLY?? score

stonehenge 01-27-2010 10:40 PM

BUT they are expensive and you shouldn't really plug them into surge protectors I don't think.

Cez★ 01-27-2010 10:42 PM

stonehenge 01-27-2010 10:47 PM

stonehenge 01-27-2010 10:51 PM
