  1. I need a Kova. Cause I use a jerky wireless mouse... And that mouse is beautiful.
  2. Strange to see @RylandJAY 's entry destroyed by the audio of mine in the Afterparty (31:00)... I feel guilty for making it as loud... :wacko: All I wanted is to appear in the Afterparty, although I was in a different group. Guess I have achieved it :lol: :lol: BTW screw autoplay. My indirect apologies :wacko:
  3. LOL that would be nice :lol:. However, that's by far too much trouble to do in Spain. They really don't do anything appart from telling ISPs to censor TPB. Appart from that, for them all the work is done. But this would be the only moment where I would report something like this, as you said. So unethical for a school to be doing it... Shall we compete for who has the worst IT team in their school? Let me start! They pirated Windows, Adobe Master Collection, AutoCAD and Office. WHO WANTS MOREE??? The winner's school gets to hire a phylosopher to teach ethics to their school managers .
  4. Yes, I'm not even joking... Ethics... Not even that. The "IT Technician" they hire just brings a USB Drive with a cracked license to install it. Sometimes the "This Windows Copy is not Original" message appeared. Even Office is pirated. Such a dumb move as a school, but, as little people know anything computer related, As I clearly stated in my post, I am not looking for help. I am not suffering this problem. I just wanted to see if anyone has the same problem, or if it is a known issues. I am a happy Win10 and Ubuntu user. Thanks. So far, the "Technician" has installed Windows over all the affected machines, the only useful thing to do when system restoring is not enabled.. The thing is, barely any software is installed on those computers.4 computers crashed at the exact same time. Plus that other Windows 8 computer I previously talked about (that Windows 8 machine). That last Win8 machine, which suffered from the exact same problem, started to work again a day later. As Windows 8 connects to the network before logging in, maybe it got an update who fixed it? Actually, It's a private school, which, fortunately for them, is not in the district's competence. But nevertheless, Windows, when bought in bulk isn't a huge expense for a school. And I'm sure if an inspector came in and discovered that, they will be in trouble. There isn't a single legal software license in my school (if you exclude the smart board software). From Windows to AutoCAD, passing by Office. Anyways, it's pathetic for the majority of the school's staff to be as not informed as they are. As per the education code in my country reccommends, in IT classes, linux should be "explained". Which distro you may ask? Guadalinex, a variant of Ubuntu 9.04 made by the autonomous comunnity we reside in (with an awful implementation of the GNOME desktop). A 6.5 year old distro. Of course, bugs are a thing. And obviously, who wouldn't think all the rest OSs are better? Who doesn't think linux is crap? No-one. Come on, try to use Windows XP again (do not try Vista, it's worse). It's as old. And, obviously, the man that doesn't know you can use more than 8GB of RAM on a x64 OS tells that no-one should use AMD CPUs because if they overheat, there's no protection and they die. Gimme a break. This is not the way to teach... This is the way the yihad is taught. Of course, for him, a 2.5GHz 6 year old Core 2 Duo CPU with 1MB of cache performs better than an fx8350, because ignorance is a thing. Of course it's not better than a $1k 5960x, but as he is not going to buy one, that is not in his league.
  5. Hi all, So a recent event happened in my school. They are using pirated copies of Windows 7 and wednesday last week, all of them got one of the automatic updates. So the next day, at the time they turned it on, everything went fine. The user login icons appeared, but when you clicked one, a pinwheel appeared and the screen just flashed briefly, coming back again to the login page. Common sense tells that the user server had some problems, but the fact is that there isn't one. Everything is local to each machine. I've got nothing to do with the computer systems, I'm just an student and let me tell you, good for them. They just used a crappy serial list. Even office was cracked using windows loader... :facepalm: It has also happened to a friend of mine who had a pirated windows 8 copy (different network). Right at the same time. So my guess is that Microsoft has thrown that update out. I'm running a legal copy of Win10 flawlessly. It is not a hardware problem. I've even run Ubuntu from my flash drive without any problems. Curiosity is attacking me right now Has anyone had this problem??
  6. In case I win, this box goes to my brother, who's lacking a pc (the one he had broke) and is too young to bother on the cable clutter an atx tower has.
  7. EDIT: Browser lag not loading previows posts.
  8. Does having half drives count??? My Seagate drives sometimes get moody and decide not to work. They blip many times and sound like a DJ scratching a vinyl. Once, one of them decided to F00k up the NTFS partition on it, making me loose 100GB of family photos. Be careful, do not make them angry. Charlie bites... Samsung 840 Pro 128GB, Seagate Barracuda 5400 2.5inch 250GB (from my old laptop), Barracuda 7200 500Gb (from an external video-player-hdd), 1x toshiba 1tb USB3 Drive. The 500GB one sometimes gets lazy and sleeps. So when I need my files, it takes 5 seconds for it to get ready. Couldn't be ghetto-er...
  9. Well, I guess all the people prticipating were inspired by your videos, even if they aren't in your group. It would be great that the rest of the inspirers became as involved with their audience or their "inspired ones", AFAIK they haven't invited anyone else than their finalists. At least yet.
  10. The OS is not bad. Their implementations sometimes are. If you want to get to a lot of people, go for Android. The truth is, you don't get compatibility issues between the same versions of android, independantly of the manufacturers. You may get some problems supporting pre-4.0.4 versions, but the Android IDE itself tells you that. And even starting to code for those versions doesn't mean any hiccups for you. The fact that there are so many Android devices does not mean that all those devices are different.. There's a reason why Android is Android and not something else for each device. The chances of your program not working on other device are just due to their lack of RAM or processing power. The ways of accessing the hardware are exactly the same. Heck, it's linux. And if you've got some pretty crazy ideas in mind, don't go for iOS. You will have quite a hard time coding your application because the architecture is propietary. Don't know something in Android? Someone else knows it. It's open source, nothing is a secret tool you can use but not see. Don't choose to buy a Mac just for developing for a closed platform. Use what you have and start developing for it.
  11. Well, that thing you said is true. Samsung's TouchWith is awfull, specially on the Galaxy S3, their worst implementation. I am currently a Galaxy s3 (yes, 3 years old and no need to upgrade, running 250 apps), but it's running a custom rom (PAC-Rom, a 5.1.1 remix featuring CyanogenMod), and it runs awesome. Try installing more than 60 apps on an iPhone 4S. Good luck. And yes, if you want the occasional network testing tools and all of the greatest, you get to a point where you have these many apps. And why not have them if you can? This is the thing. Samsung has shitted all over android with TouchWith, it is a huge resource hog for the phone. Samsung makes good phones, but not good ROMs. Fortunately all their ROMs and Kernels are open source, so it's easy to port any new ROM to their phones. For Apple users, Samsung = Android. And TouchWiz doesn't always provide the most flawless experience.TouchWiz is the culprit here.
  12. Hey, Sennheiser HD 439 user here. Completely happy. Powerful but not boomy bass, nice very balanced frequency response. Nice for almost all kinds of music. I cannot speak about the HD 429 though. They seem different sounding. May be a good idea to get the Superlux, but mind that those are open headphones. It will get you better positional audio and if sound leak isn't a problem for you, it will be great
  13. +RylandJAY +SquashedGames You guys made a great job, congrats
  14. So a one relative told me if the film appearing in my video was V for Vendetta (it is), and thinking a bit, I realized: Remember, remember, the 5th of November. WHATTT!!! The 5th of November was the deadline!!! That was NOT intended. Actually, someone reccommended that film to me some weeks ago, and I started watching it. This is spooky...! :lol: What a frickin' coincidence...
