Lol. Did you do this just to prove a point? As it seems strange spending so much on cooling, but virtually nothing on the case...

This is the greatest thread on any forum ever made. Ever!

Lol my mum did that with a flash drive. I felt so sorry for her that I had to pretend I didn't know why it didn't work and "try another port"

Omg yes! I'm not the only one! I can't get enough of the smell of new devices. It's such a distinct, awesome smell

His name is Gigi. And OP, your cat looks like such a boss

Oh god that's awful. DVDs need to die. Well all physical media does. Perhaps then Abbott will see the point in an NBN (for those Aussies that know what I'm talking about)

"Oh, you have that graphics card? How much ram does it have?"
 
*facepalm*

Dear god I hate that thing. I just can't understand why any person with any sort of grain of sense would purchase such a retina explosive vehicle. It is just so ugly! Why must it exist in a world where there are such beautiful things!! Arrgghhhhh

Well i obviously will now. Was just wondering whether that was normal otherwise i wasn't gonna buy it. But hey, it's EA here, they've taken plenty of my money over the years.

This has to be the damn ugliest case i have ever seen:

It manages to combine horrid glossy black plastic with some disgusting wave design. And the name: Soprano- wtf??

After being leaked, HDMI 2.0 has been announced. Looks pretty cool with 18Gbps allowing for 60fps at 4K and 32 channel audio. All this using existing CAT 2 cables. Unfortunately this means the same annoying connector, but at least we won't have to buy new cables and adapters.
Looks like this could replace DVI on the desktop as it can get those exceptional fram rates at high res.

I use it too!  but that graph is wrong about IE

Some of us quite like Win 8 such as myself

Same HTTP problem for me! AARRGHHHH
Also, Linus hasn't tweeted anything about the livestream... mysterious.

Hey! Nah lol not really unless you live on a farm. But most people live in the cities. Having a horse in my backyard would not be ideal (but still awesome)!

Yup. Sexy kidneys and a nice looking pancreas are really what turns me on.

The WD stuff was promotional and you could tell. That was the problem. Obviously it had to be promotional, but there was clearly nothing to talk about and so you knew it was promotional. With all due respect, it was boring and pointless. I didn't overly enjoy it and obviously not many others did.

Hello everyone,
 
I recently read about Windows 8.1 and though- damn, i need this. So i went to download it for my Surface RT from the Microsoft download site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/preview-download
 
 
And i got an error:

 
This annoyed me. A lot.
 
After some Googling around i found that it was an issue with my region. Although i am in Australia, the update is for US only even though i obviously speak English. So i tried this method (found it across quite a few different sites):
 
1. Place and rename the MSU file in an easily accessible place, e.g. C:\8preview\preview.msu 2. open command prompt in administrator mode. 3. Type: Expand –F:* c:\8preview\preview.msu C:\8preview\ 4. Type: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\8preview\Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x64.cab    
But that threw some errors at me after step 3. After a refresh AND a reset (arrghh) i had the same problem.
So i kept digging. Finally i came across this (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windowsrt_1_pr-windows_install/windows-81-surface-rt-installer-says-not/26a0a816-a51b-4b3d-90dc-0ac02b71a2ee?page=4&msgId=6b0a82af-e4fd-4ef4-baa9-73589dc7f6b3):
 
1. Go to Control Panel>Clock, Language and Region>Language
(Can just search for "language" in settings / Win+w) 2. add new language, which is English (United States). 3. Go into the options of this new language and download and install the language pack. A system restart is prompted, BUT WAIT. Not just yet...   4. Go into the registry editor (run regedit,exe) and navigate toHKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language and change the "InstallLanguage" string at the very bottom of the right pane to the value 0409 which is EN-US.   (You can remember what it was originally if you want to change it back after installation)   Now reboot.   5. After reboot, just run the update file from preview.windows.com and voila...  
 
And it worked!! So this should work with anyone trying to install RT 8.1 or just 8.1 on any device in AU and UK. Pretty stupid of MS to make it US only like that, but at least we found a fix.
 
Enjoy!
 

Lol yeah anyone that knows me thinks I am God of computing, because I finally built a PC. If only building one was as hard as a lot of people think. XD
