Loco Moco
hamburger and fried egg over rice smothered in gravy. its so freaking cheap so freaking good and I'm starting to get dangerously close to making KFC like gravy
it satisfies my asian and western tastebuds.
 

Here's a reasonable enough article about why "X" currency has value. That can be bitcoin or the US Dollar.
 
TL;DR - Money has no inherent value. Value is given to currency by the people that use it. That's why economies can have things like inflation/deflation. I can't think of any currency fully backed by a physical good like gold anymore. It just became impractical in "mature economies".

I love to sign up.
 
Reason:
You know, I can describe a lot of reasons why I think I should have it. But honestly, I love to let others enjoy the benefits of a new graphics card. As for myself, I love it also, dealing with low end graphic cards all my life, it's very hard to play certain games that I've always wanted to try out. I don't have a lot of income for a brand new build of a PC. I ran my old Year 2000 PC for almost 10 years, and swapping parts back and forth, and only having 24 GB max. Having a graphic card at that high end would lower the cost of building a new PC dramatically. But I've always been the type to look at the needs of others. So, if there's any body else who would appreciate the card more, and need it more than I, then I am welcome to give up my spot. Other wise, I would also love a chance at it.

Was a Rogue Spear addict!!!

My hopes of getting a remake of the game was almost depleted. Counter strike was no where close to the joy and level of play of Rogue Spear. The game was my first FPS, and the most enjoyed of all times. Finally, in 2016, a remake is on the way. The creators of Rogue Spear, has joined up with Black Foot Gaming, to bring us Ground Branch. A hardcore style game just like Rogue Spear, and some visual updates, at the same time, keeping it very classic. It's finally almost here.

Popularity. More views = more partnership. In return it equals you advertising their new product for them before it's released.

I've read back in 2008-2014 how the first recession was just the hiccup, and the greater recession was yet to come. What are the chances of hitting another recession in 2015 -2016? Also, I find it funny how everything starts back up on the year of the new election. Martial Law anyone?

Yea, I don't like Obama. Never did, never will.

HEY!
 
So, we've recently added webm/gifv support on the forums, and I'm gonna show you all how to convert things to webm/gifv with very little hassle.
 
But why ixi?! Why use webm?! My gif is just fine!
No, it's not. It's huge! 
 
for example : 
ffmpeg -i gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -threads 0 -an -b:v 10M output.webm ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -threads 0 -an -ss 00:00:22 -t 00:00:5 -b:v 10M output.webm

is it laggy at all?

Thanks man, my wish has been answered

I just find most of the skins and themes look really tacky
 
Honestly the only windows UI element I ever see, is the taskbar, I don't even have any Icons or anything on my desktop, just a nice wallpaper

Same here, I like it neat and clean. But that's just probably me who's willing to sacrifice eye-candy stuffs for performance.

Yeah, though I do like some eye candy especially when gaming (as long as I can get a nice 60fps which I normally can on my rig)
 
I just hate having clutter, I barely use more than like steam, comms and  premier, so I dont need icons everywhere cluttering up, and all my files are on my server

Simple individual programs. The icons I replaced manually. And the background animated wallpaper is from Dreamscape 8.

Not at all. With WindowsPager, there's a little usage, but it isn't much for what the program offers. I'm running at 26% Ram usage having two browser open, League open, and Spotify puts it at 28% Ram usage. I'm digging it. But I opted out for the simplier Rocketdock instead of the Objectdock which uses 3D animations.

I'm sure many of you are like me, tired of the default, boring, need something new, and exciting. Some of you don't have much processing power, and don't really want to deal with Rainmeter either. This guide is to help you customize your desktop without using Rainmeter (which I don't know how to use anyways.)
 
Lets get started, and I'll try to keep it as simple as possible. The guide is to help you have an Ubuntu Linux management system + a OS X MAC feel that is organized.
 
Changing Your Windows Icon (This step isn't necessary, just makes it look better.)
- Windows Start Button Changer http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6198-windows-7-start-button-changer.html
Easy way to change the windows start button, download the program, find the icon that you want. Here's a bundle of Windows 7 Start Orbs, http://w1ck3dmatt.deviantart.com/art/Mega-Orb-Pack-150-start-orbs-259940654 Not using Windows 7? Just Google, Operating System + Start Orbs Bundle. Easy enough. - How To Change Your Application Icons and Folder Icons (You don't have to go this route, it's easier if you don't.)
Find a set of icons for your desktop that you want. (I used the light tonken set, which can be found here: http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570*This set is not complete. You'll have to keep searching for the PNG or ICON that you want. This process can take you up to 2-3 hours because it's annoying to find the icon you need for your applications. Once you have your set, this is the easy part. Just right click the "Application > Properties > Shortcut > Change Icon > Browse > "select the icon." *please note* You can only change icon on the shortcut. If you create another shortcut, you'll have to repeat the process of changing that icon also. Inorder to see the change icon on a taskbar application that is pinned (Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer Folder, etc...) You must right click on the pinned application, and the application name will be shown through the menu, right click again through the menu list where the application is, and go to "Properties > Shortcut > Change Icon > Browse > "choose your icon." *Please Note* The icon sometimes will not change instantly. You'll just have to wait, exit the program, or even have to restart your computer. Don't worry too much if it isn't changing instantly or 5 minutes after.
 
The Beginning Process To Changing Your Desktop Appearance
- Objectdock http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/
Gives your Windows a nice 3D looking dock (OS X Mac.) Not only is it nice, it is very well organized. Just drag the applications on your desktop/applications you use to the dock once you installed the program. Once that is completed, go ahead and delete all the short cut applications on your desktop. This is clean up time, everything on your desktop must be cleared out, unless you like it that way. - Rocketdock http://rocketdock.com/download
Same as Objectdock, but instead of having a 3D animation and visual, rocketdock allows you to customize your own looks, and create your own theme. It's very simple, but can be rewarding if you put your time into it. But I recommend Objectdock because ez app ez life. - Hiding All Your System Tray Junk
Really, it's ugly too look it. I suggest to just hide all the icon, apps, and to only show when you press the drop list. To do this: Right Click Task Bar > Properties > under notification area click Customize > under behavior, choose Hide Icon and Notifications. - Managing All The Nasty Programs You Are Running, to make it look neat (Linux)
Download the program call Winroll http://www.palma.com.au/winroll/ This is such an awesome tool, it allows you to manage your browser efficiently, transparent the application with the "press-in wheel button" and to roll up the application to the title bar with right-clicking the title bar. A must have. - Having Multiple Monitors without the actual monitors
Yes, you are downloading another program (it is wurff.) The program is called WindowsPager http://windowspager.sourceforge.net/ It allows you to have 4 multiple monitors up without having those extra monitors. Easy to navigate, manage your applications, gaming on the second tab, and going back the first tab to browse. The third tab is for ninjas, and the fourth tab is for your sister to play Dora The Explorer. Such an awesome program, a must download. Unless you like your sister playing with the mouse as you go take a piss. Causing you to die cause you AFK'ed on the fountain, playing LoL. Download or suffer reportino. #Bunch of toxic !@#!%  
Yes. Yes. We are done. You can mess around to test what you like, what you don't like. Try out new ideas, and customization using different icons, skins, and themes. At the end of the day, if you don't like it, you can always revert back easily or just try out Rainmeter.

Here is mine.

Háu,
 
I feel you my American brother.
 
With the "advancement" of our country I cannot help but feel distant from it. All of the choices that have been made in the past ten years or so have done nothing but plunge our country into the bottom of the garbage can. Instead of moving forward without sacrifice we are compromising with sacrifice. It disgusts me. It should have been expected, this outcome, from the entirety of our peoples because governments should never be trusted.
 
 
....until it is. The Off-Topic section does not prohibit political discussion threads, and if it being a tech forum means anything, then this entire section should not exist.
 
 
Mayálučhaŋtešičapi.

You're worth it.
 
Invest in yourself, invest in your dreams. Life is short, live for what you love, and for what you always desire to do
 
Be willing to accept new ideas, new innovations, new type of thinking, be open minded. But be firm in what you believe.
 
Billionaire isn't just in the form of money, it's how you preceive your own life, and yourself. It could bring life with joy and happiness. Something you don't get always.
 
Be adventurous and be curious (in a good way.)

I'm a little late to the forums, but I'm sure everyone was busy. If not, don't worry buddy, you are still loved. Here's a song for everyone to enjoy while we still have the Christmas spirit around. Praise Jesus, and Amen.

Motherboard APP - had the power at "Power Saving" Mode. Changing it to Standard Mode or Performance Mode allowed the GPU to have the necessary power it needed to run the graphics.
