  1. One of my friends at school (we're both 16) plays CSGO , Just Cause 3, some horror game (I can't remember off the top of my head) and GTA V all the time, and he is the calmest, most reserved person I have seen in my school, and only gets into fights if needs be, like if someone started trying to fight him. So I agree with you there, that violence in games does not make kids violent. This is the same with multiple people in my school, they have been playing the likes of COD and Battlefield since their initial release, and they aren't violent at all
  2. Hi! So I have on my laptop (see profile for specs) 3 virtual machines, 1 windows 10, 1 server 2012, and 1 pfsense router. No matter what network configuration in the settings I choose, the virtual machines don't pick up my home network. Can someone help please? EDIT: As I was writing this article McAfee informed me that my windows 10 machine connected to the network, and I can see it on my router's gateway, but cannot access the internet from the machine itself. Neither the pfsense machine or the windows server 2012 machines are running. The win 10 network configuration machine is configured at the moment is attached EDIT2: The win-10 machine has started working, can access the internet and appears on my router, but the other machines aren't working still.
  3. I don't know what version of office she is using, but the max space office is taking up on my laptop is like 3GB
  4. I looked at this, and although he is saying it's fast because it has a 4gb card in the system, it can run what he specified, but only at minimum settings. Cities Skylines only needs a GT 260 or HD5670 However, he is saying it is great for under $500 but the graphics card, psu, case, and dvd drive do not have a price linked to them, soooo I dread to think of the games that he is running "amazing", maybe .... terraria? shower with your dad simulator?
  5. I hadn't read your comment under the video when I watched it, hence why I got really confused when he said to "take out your CPU using the two screws", and goes to a shot of the computer with the cooling fan still attached. Had to come back to your comment and realised why he said that Also, this video is so cringe worthy like omg
  6. My friend ordered an i5-4690K and got an i7-4790K from Amazon. I thought he was the only one, but apparently not.
  7. I think so, I just want to be able to show maybe a webpage thats on my phone onto my computer screen
  8. The latter, I want to be able to cast something from my phone to the screen, is this possible?
  9. Hi, I have an old unused laptop at home that I want to use as like a kitchen recipe showing thing that I was going to attach to the underside of a kitchen cabine, and I wanted to make a HTML website that the computer automatically connects to when it starts up and you can stream things to it with like a phone/tablet. Is there any way I can implement the streaming from devices? I have the rest of the stuff figured out like the locally hosted HTML webpage. Thanks!
  10. oh, I thought it was when it was going too fast, thanks for telling me what it really is!!
  11. Ah thanks I thought it was throttling or something silly like that! Cheers!
  12. installed, checked it and still is the case http://imgur.com/ZG12V18
  13. Hi! So I was watching the WAN show on my laptop the other day with no other programs running and decided to look at my CPU Usage on Task Manager. I was surprised to see that the current frequency was higher than the max frequency. I have looked again today and it was doing it again. Same thing, was doing nothing other than watching YouTube. Specs of my laptop: Core i5-5200U 12Gb RAM No discrete GPU other than the integrated graphics A picture is attached of the task manager taken on my tablet (sorry about the shitty quality) Is this a problem? Should I be worried about it? Its under warranty as it's a new laptop so it should be fine if it needs fixing Thanks!
  14. I've got this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/6xFh4D I replaced the SSD with a 2tb HDD because 2 1tb HDD's were £80 and this drive is £56
  15. Hi! So I am planning on building a system for my school work later on in the year. Here is some basic info: 1, I live in the UK 2. I have a working monitor and also fairly decent keyboard and mouse, so that isn't an issue, neither is windows as I just picked up a Windows 10 DVD. 3. I only have 1 monitor at the moment, so multi monitor compatibility would be nice, but not needed at the moment 4. My budget is around £400-£500 5. I need the system to be future proof (I'm possibly going to add a graphics card later on for some light games and for it to last a fair amount of time) 6. I am upgrading because at the moment I have all of my games and suchlike on my laptop, so I need some place to put all of that because I want to take my laptop into school Here is some ideas for the build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/RNyVjX http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/6dj7f7 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/fkhB8d If you could help that would be great!!
  16. On my laptop I have at least 20 shortcuts on my desktop, because A) My steam games are all shortcut-ted on my desktop, and I can't be bothered to go searching through my steam library when its already on my desktop where I can see it layed out, B) A lot of the programs that I use on a daily basis are on my desktop, and if I am just starting up my computer I don't need to search my computer for them, (they also act as a reminder of what I was going to do before I shut down my computer last), C) The folders that I use quite often are shortcut-ted there because they are ridiculously deep into my file-system that it just became a pain to try and find all my work But don't get me wrong, these shortcuts ARE NOT disorganised. I totally agree with you on that. It always really annoys me when people have an unnecessarily cluttered desktop, like seriously, how do you find anything in this mess. Like every time I log onto my nan's laptop to fix something she asks me to fix, there is always dozens of files and pictures on there, and things like a program link to something that opens up eBay's webpage. WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU NEED TO INSTALL A PROGRAM THAT LAUNCHES THE EBAY WEBPAGE AND DOES NOTHING ELSE???? WHAT IS THE ACTUAL POINT? On a side note, my nan is also convinced that there is a virus on her laptop because it is really slow, even though she has an i3-270m, and 2gb of DDR2 ram, running windows 10. It runs sort of fine now that I have turned off all of windows 10's animations and such but there should be a base line of your computers specs before you are allowed to upgrade (I have no idea if this is a thing or not, my laptop came pre installed with windows 10 and have never upgraded a computer to it)
  17. I mentioned to my friend the other day that just got an i7-4790k / 970 / 8gb ram build that I had 12Gb of RAM in my new laptop because I was getting really annoyed at my school's desktops only having 1gb of ddr2 memory, that can barely run anything, and he turns to me and goes: "WOW! 12Gb of RAM!! you could run GTA V on that!" *facepalm* BTW my laptop is nowhere near capable of running GTA V, with a i5-5500U and integrated graphics..
  18. def optionA(): #enter employee details print () print ("Employee Details") print () employeeName=input("Enter the name of the employee you want to find") for line in employeeInfo: employeeName,hireDate,birthdate=line.split(",") print("The employee's name is:",employeeName) print("The employee was hired on:",hireDate) print("The employee's birthdate is:",birthdate) def welcomeScreen(): #welcome message print("#####################") print("Welcome to Caroline's Painting/Decorating Company Program") print("#####################") print() #options menu print(" A | Enter employee details") print(" B | Enter customer details") print(" C | Estimation") print(" D | Price Calculator") print() option=input("Please select an input option: ") if option=="A" or option=="a": optionA() elif option=="B" or option=="b": print("not implimented yet") welcomeScreen() elif option=="C" or option=="c": print("not implimented yet") welcomeScreen() elif option=="D" or option=="d": print("not implimented yet") welcomeScreen() file=open("employeeInfo.txt","r") employeeInfo=file.readlines() file.close() welcomeScreen() I know the input isn't doing anything there but I tried changing the "for line in employeeInfo" to "for employeeName in employeeInfo" but did not work so I reverted it
  19. I think the reason it was coming up was I hadn't saved the text file properly! whoops!! Sorry about that, can you help me with the input though? Every time I try and put one in it I keep getting errors
  20. mine isn't working, using python 3.5.1
  21. Ok, so I am going to start off with the fact that I have been studying Python in school for about 2 years now (Year 11 in UK), and I have come across errors that have been frustrating me for quite some time now. Here it is: def welcomeScreen(): #welcome message print("#####################") print("Welcome to Caroline's Painting/Decorating Company Program") print("#####################") print() #options menu print(" A | Enter employee details") print(" B | Enter customer details") print(" C | Estimation") print(" D | Price Calculator") print() option=input("Please select an input option: ") if option=="A" or option=="a": #enter employee details print () print ("Employee Details") print () for line in employeeInfo: employeeName,hireDate,birthdate=line.split(",") print("The employee's name is:",employeeName) print("The employee was hired on:",hireDate) print("The employee's birthdate is:",birthdate) elif option=="B" or option=="b": print("not implimented yet") welcomeScreen() elif option=="C" or option=="c": print("not implimented yet") welcomeScreen() elif option=="D" or option=="d": print("not implimented yet") welcomeScreen() file=open("employeeInfo.txt","r") employeeInfo=file.readlines() file.close() welcomeScreen() the text document employeeInfo.txt looks like: Dave Newman,11/3/03,1/2/1997 Jonny Stewart,15/12/15,22/5/1990 note, the welcomeScreen varibles inside of the elifs are just temporary, until I put code there the error that comes up: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Z:/Documents/Python/Exam Paper/Task 3/task 3-v1.py", line 45, in <module> welcomeScreen() File "Z:/Documents/Python/Exam Paper/Task 3/task 3-v1.py", line 27, in welcomeScreen print("The employee's name is:",employeeName) UnboundLocalError: local variable 'employeeName' referenced before assignment Also, I need to put an input in there to get the user to input a name and have it check against the document, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Thanks for your help!!
  22. I think he was more referring to the fact he was dunking his components in water to stop static from being a problem
