Went to do a job...couldn't get Windows 7 Pro student pricing for him like I thought, my fucking school isn't on the list. When the fuck did video cards start hooking up to the power supply and why don't they use a standard connector? Fucking power supply doesn't have the connector he needs.

**stonehenge** · 09-05-2011, 12:02 AM

A lot of the nicer PCI-E cards have power connectors because of the powah they need. Most newer power supplies have it now.

Manbearpig · 09-05-2011, 05:08 AM

Le interwebz saga continues

if you fools ever need an opinion on interweb service just ask me....i haz tried them ALL

i haz tried sprint wireless internet cards - all service providers for these things cap you at 5gb of usage per month. I used almost a gig in two day and that's with minimal pr0n watching. Wireless thingy has been returned within 30-day trial window

I tried clear wireless internet but the reviews for that one were so bad that i cancelled it before i got it

Pinche at&t wanted me to wait a month to get an installation...FTS

i now haz 18/mbps through charter cable

**stonehenge** · 09-09-2011, 07:36 PM

cable > 3g, dsl, etc
18mbps = sekz

and yeah wireless and satellite both cap you, its ratard

race2c · 10-01-2011, 04:56 AM

Computer folks got a couple questions...

What do I need to take the hard drive out of my Lenovo T61 laptop to turn into a useable hard drive, e.g. hard drive enclosure? Parts, connectors, etc? Also, what do I need to do as far as having the hard drive being able to be read as a hard drive for another computer, e.g. removal of all current stuff on it/formatting/etc?

Cez★ · 10-01-2011, 05:32 AM

just get an enlosure. i think i asked the same questions as you once.

i just got one off newegg, good quality, and i just connected to lappy and then accessing files is easy. nothing fancy to it

**stonehenge** · 10-01-2011, 07:19 AM

Yup, Newegg usually has good deals (and reviews) on enclosures (you'll need a 2.5" one). It should be fairly easy to remove from the laptop, usually a few screws to remove a panel on the bottom or side. As for copying files to/from it, you just plug it in like a flash drive. If you don't need anything on the HD then just format it.
