Oh, jeez, that's really unfortunate...Also, i'm not sure which I find more disturbing, the fact that such an event has happened, or the "humorous" comments on this thread making light of the fact that a REAL PERSON JUST DIED.

And how exactly would that happen?  Voltage isn't "drawn", it's supplied/generated.

Just to Clarify:
that post is about dealing with people who still haven't found the light while this post is about stupid things you did before you found the light 

My brother told me someone at his school told him that they use pirate bay a lot, and to avoid getting viruses, they stop seeding as soon as the download is complete  

If it comes with 6GB you will only be able to use 5.5GB.

I still have Xbox original games - even tho I sold my original Halo Edition Xbox.
I have my PS2 slim and gamecube - even tho I sold all the games
My Samsung Tab 2
All my old phones - even the dumb flip phones
and SO MUCH MORE
 
I'm moving so I may finally have to threw the old stuff away to avoid moving costs  

You need to get out more.

My older brother once had a virus on his windows 7 PC. He was into runescape botting at the time so downloaded quite a bit of shady stuff and got unlucky I guess. Anyway, somehow his "fix" for this issue involved deleting some of the files in the C:\windows\system32 folder...I don't know how but he actually fixed it that way and didn't /entirely/ brick the computer. It continued to work for several years with only one issue: it would open about 200 error dialogues every time you booted, but that wasn't a big deal for him. I recently managed to get it to run a windows 10 upgrade and now it's actually fairly decent. Gave it to my mum so she can write emails and print worksheets and stuff for her teaching.

Google dyscalculia, it's basically dyslexia for maths, you might have it.
 
For me basically any creative outlet would be nice. As it is I can't draw, can't write and can't compose music (I can play music, but only by reading it and practicing and at that point it's more work than fun/expression).

To be able to jump more than 6 ft into the air. Shit would be wild

There are children being exposed to actual violence in this world. People as young as 15 or 16 fought in both world wars and most of them were pretty much fine afterwards but you think that a 13 year old can't handle CoD or GTA? Really? Humans are mentally very resilient creatures.

It's still not scripted in the slightest. Ultimately it's just an opinion but I really like it so far. The main change I like though is the longer episodes.

If you leave it to evaporate it should be fine but still, this is why you're not supposed to use the can in long sprays, only in bursts.

You'll need to figure out what's more important to you. Personally, I would prefer the X260 for its keyboard alone, but then I do quite a lot of typing. There aren't many reviews of the X260 at the moment, so it's hard to get a few opinions. You can look at some X250 reviews though. Just keep in mind that the X260 will have more performance, battery life and better speakers than the X250.
 
If you do some graphics work like drawing or watch movies very frequently, the better screen and speakers of the XPS 13 are definitely a big advantage. It's not like the XPS 13 has bad battery life either. Quite the opposite in fact. The difference really is that the X260 is more modular, so you can opt for an extended battery that will get you close to the 20h mark and exchange batteries on the go without powering down the machine.
 
What you need to consider is the fact that the XPS 13 is a consumer notebook, while the X260 is a regular business notebook. That means it will be easy to upgrade and repair, with easy and cheap access to spare parts and very long support. 5-10 years from now, people will still be using the X260. You also get to be part of an incredible community that can help you with almost any problem. Linux support is also excellent.
 
While all that is great, the XPS 13 doesn't have to hide behind the X260. Its build quality is great as well, it has excellent battery life and you can get it with a stronger GPU than the X260, which does make a noticeable difference in games. Some XPS 13's ship with Ubuntu, so it stands to reason that it runs fairly well with Linux as well. Not to mention the superior multimedia capabilities of the XPS 13.
 
Essentially., the major difference in my opinion, and what it boils down to for me, really is the keyboard. I don't know if you've had the comparison or been able to type on a recent ThinkPad keyboard, but the XPS 13 will be put to shame by it. If you do a lot of typing, you will certainly appreciate it.
 
If you are still unsure, then try to get your hands on both machines. The XPS 13 shouldn't be hard to find, but the X260 is only sold by special retailers who don't usually have models on display. If you google a bit you might be able to find a shop not too far from you that stocks ThinkPads.

People get wrapped up in what they paid for things when they're trying to value their used hardware..
 
The used hardware scene is about basically linear scaling as far as "performance per dollar" is concerned, so they don't realize the premium they paid for the "EVGA 1GB" version of the 560 Ti is worth literally nothing a few years down the road..

Just reinstalled windows , so this is my current wallpaper
