How to run CCleaner on a schedule in the background
If you don't already have CCleaner (it's freeware), you can get it here.


This was something that I stumbled upon awhile ago (/AUTO command, not the Task Scheduler) and thought I would share it with you. The images where made awhile ago for another purpose but I never got around to using them. This will only run the Cleaner task and will not clean the registry.


What this will do

This takes advantage of the Windows Task Scheduler tool and the /AUTO command that is build into CCleaner to run the program in the background on a custom predefined schedule according to the last saved settings. There are various stages in this tutorial you can change the options to suit your needs and feel free to do so, I just did this for what suited my configuration.






Tutorial

1. Configure CCleaner how you would like it.

2. Under Options>Advanced enable the option to save settings to an .INI file

This will allow CCleaner to run in silent mode.
I also suggest you enable 'Only delete files in Recycling Bin older than 24 hours' because well, you never know!
3. Open Task Scheduler

This can be done by typing 'Task Scheduler' into the start menu or via Administrative Tools>Schedule Tasks
4. Create a new task

Click 'Create Task...' in the menu along of the right hand side of the window.

Over the last week or so, after updating from 12.10 to 13.4 Catalyst Drivers my card has been eerily slow, struggling in games like Garry's Mod never mind The Witcher 2.  After a refresh of windows and installing 13.4 again, this keeps occurring, in and out of game.
 

 
Is it the card or the drivers? Anyone experienced something like this before?

Firefox Nightly, cause for some weird reason its more stable then Beta and it is also alot quicker then the full release

It might be a fun project I guess, and an excuse to get a raspberry pi :)
 
 
Ohh that might be something I'd have to look into, especially since I don't pay that bill.

I'd just go with your own domain & raspberry pi - probably easier than finding an email service you trust...

If you host it yourself be careful, your ISP may or may not allow that. They may not care or even notice but they just MIGHT care and MIGHT notice.
 
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Well that's the info they are giving us, they might be giving them much much more!
 

Hiding from the government? You must be a terrorist. :rolleyes:

This isn't a discussion about whatever the US Government is or isn't doing, I just want an alternative email service. :)

I wish people didn't think that way....

100, but I'm in so much pain right now.

I don't think Logan said that....

Grid 2 recently released and here i am showing the first 25 minutes of gameplay played on a GTX 690 With all settings max out and on 1080p. I highly suggest this game if you like race games, it is looking great and the controls are perfect. What i don't know is why i can't turn on the Intel features in the game i need to fix that somehow. Anyway enjoy the video and the gameplay and the lame commentary i give. And don't forget to like and subscibe!  

 

Are you sure this isn't the Radeon HD 8970 OEM card?
Because this seems just a 7970 Ghz (spec wise) with a 8xxx name (8xxx for OEM are already out; they're just 7xxx rebranded) ;)

After comparing the two, this is definitely a 7970 Ghz rebrand so while those spec are official, those are not the cards you are looking for  ^_^

I don't know if it helps you at all, but you can use the 'ternary' operator to neaten the code up significantly.
The syntax below is intended for Java, but it should be fairly easy to convert it to C++.
int pennies = 1; //Set pennies to 1string money = pennies + "penn"; //Convert the int to a string and add 'penn' to the end.money += (pennies > 1) ? "ies" : "y"; //If pennies is greater than 1, add 'ies' to the end of the string to make it 'pennies' otherwise add 'y' to make it 'penny'.//At this stage, the money variable is set to "1 penny".pennies = 2; //Make pennies = 2money = pennies + "penn"; //Set the string to "2 penn".money += (pennies > 1) ? "ies" : "y"; //Do the same as before to pluralise if nessesary.//At this stage, money is set to "2 pennies". Essentially, the code before the ? is an if statement and the code either side of the : is the code executed if the statement is true or false (the code on the left of the : is executed if true, code on the right is executed if false)

This was on cooler masters Facebook page the other day a caused a storm of Intel hate, They took it off after a few hours and put an apology up LOL, sorry if this has been posted already but search did not show anything.. 
 
 

It probably means don't post screenshots of that to your forum... :p Experimental YouTube features?

I'm a huge fan of The New Boston as well.

I started with "learning C++ through game programming" by Michael Dawson and a lot of youtube tutorials. The book and the tutorials don't require any programming knowledge. I would recommend watching some of the tutorials first and then decide if you want to buy a book, which explains everything a lot more in depth.

LG's IPS monitors are great, and reasonably priced.
