    Blevins got a reaction from babadoctor in How to get back original windows 10 desktop icon   
    Hit start and type in "Show or Hide common icons". 
    Select the checkbox by "Computer" and hit apply. 
     
    If the icon isn't quite right, hit "Restore default" next to change icon. It's in the same show or hide common icons menu.

    Blevins got a reaction from Misanthrope in [fun]The anecdotal evidence assumptions thread   
    It might have to do with economic background of their families as well, it's more common for a child of a middle class household to be middle class later in life. Poorer families are less able to feed their children well, the poor nutrition being a factor in their shorter stature. While middle and upper class families are better able to provide proper nutrition, so they grow taller. 
    This can also be seen in places like Africa, where the average height is significantly shorter than the average in wealthier parts of the world(IE First world countries).
     
    I don't have any studies or evidence for this, but that seems like a logical conclusion to me.

    I know a guy who used to work for an ISP in California, they threw away hundreds of terabytes of data every month and didn't offer any kind of unlimited plans. Data caps are a joke. One of the 2 ISP's in my area that actually offer broadband doesn't offer any unlimited plans and set their data caps so low that if you watch netflix regularly you're paying like $170+/month because of data. But if you go over your cap they start charging like $10/GB for overages (It varies depending on the plan)
     
     
    And data does cost ISPs something. They have to pay for the electricity used to forward your data packets along.  (It's probably minimal, though)

    Why don't you just use a DVI cable for your monitor and a HDMI for the capture card and mirror the outputs?

    BS. I've lived in Kuwait andDubai and travelled extensively throughout the region and never felt restricted (except Saudi).
    I'm regards to your fish, you are almost definitely overstocked. But depending on the species it will likely be fungal infection. If you have tetras or loaches, neon tetra disease is likely, or a high level of nitrates causing them to asphyxiate.

    Blevins got a reaction from Frankie in SSD Cons?   
    the MTBF (Mean time between failures) is a LOT higher on SSD's in general. my Samsung Pro drive has an MTBF of 1,750,000 hours (199.77 years)

    It's worth noting that if your SSD dies, you can't recover any data off it. With HDD's you can send it out to somewhere like Kroll Ontrack to get data recovered from the platters. With SSD's there's not really any way to do that. It goes from being really expensive to effectively impossible.

    Sales should not equal considerable contributions to the industry, nor a reason to enter a hall of fame at a museum. The only Halo that should go up there is combat evolved, for perfecting the FPS on the consoles.

    Blevins got a reaction from Nup in Data usage for F@H   
    I'm considering doing some folding on my home PC. The issue I have is that where I live the only internet connection I can get is through my cell phone, which has a 20GB/Month data cap (This is the largest plan my carrier provides for mobile users). What I want to know is how much data does the folding use? (Daily or weekly or monthly I can extrapolate from there) 
     
    tl;dr Can anyone tell me how much data usage F@H uses?
     
    Thanks for your help!

    Not quite. Piracy is not theft, it's counterfeiting. You're making identical copies without the consent of the contents owner. That's not theft. Theft removes it from the owners possession and places it in yours.
     
    Every pirated copy of a movie, game, or software  doesn't necessarily mean one copy not sold. A lot of people that pirate software either can't afford to buy it, or just plain wouldn't buy it.
