    Insane Walrus reacted to ixi_your_face in What if diamond was the most abundant element   
    This thread made my brain hurt.
     
    You people need to learn how do Chemistry. Seriously.
    It's not an element, it's carbon in a particular formation. They're already incredibly abundant, just artificially inflated to seem like there's not many Diamond isn't shiny. It's refractive. Diamond is inherently carbon. That's why it's chemical makeup is C. It's an allotrope Diamonds aren't as strong as you think it is. It's incredibly brittle when in large, non-crystalline forms (like a MC sword)  Sources?
     
    I know how to chemistry.
     
    Also, as a complete side note. Graphite (pencil "lead" and other things) and Diamond have completely different allotropes.
     
    Source?

    Insane Walrus got a reaction from ShearMe in Sennheiser HD 558   
    Most gaming headsets don't have super good sound quality, compared to high end headphones. If you want good sound quality go with headphones and either a modmic or a desk mic. Keep in mind the 558's are open headphones, which means the sound is more natural but the sound also leaks out so others can hear what you are listening to

    Insane Walrus got a reaction from NewAndreas in What smart phone do you use   
    Nexus 4 user here. I love the stock android experience and it gets updates immediately. It is one of the best android phones out there in my opinion and I'm really happy with it.

    Insane Walrus got a reaction from Peopie in New Phone Suggestion?   
    I have the nexus 4 and I really like it. It is a tad fragile, as it has glass on the front and back. The best thing about owning a nexus device is the speed of updates, and the relative low price for an unlocked phone. Even the Google Edition HTC One and GS4 don't get the updates directly from Google once they are released. Before the end of the year I'm assuming Google will release a nexus 5 or similar, since they have been doing yearly releases. If you wanted, you could wait for that phone since it will have better specs.

    The only things I don't really like about the N4 are the lack of LTE and how fragile it supposedly is. I haven't personally had any problems with dropping it, but I take really good care of my devices. It also has a 720p screen, compared to the 1080p on other flagship devices. However, it is only $299 unlocked for 8gb or $349 for 16gb. IMO the nexus 4 is a great phone and a solid choice.

    For a limited time Bundle Stars is offering this game for free, all you gotta do is like the page and you get a free key!
    Here's the URL:
    http://woobox.com/vsxpyw
    It's safe by the way, I got this link on a very cool steam group with about 800 people who have probably all downloaded it and me and a friend have done it to get our codes.
    If you're super paranoid just disable the coupons thing after you're done and unlike the page or just use a fake Facebook account like me. Have fun guys! If this has multiplayer maybe we could get a LTT thing going? Also is there a LTT steam group?
    If this has been posted or is in the wrong area just delete/move the topic mods.
    If you wanna gimme something in return you can like this post, if you feel very very generous you could gift me something on steam!

    Insane Walrus reacted to LogicalDrm in Not enough fan headers on mobo   
    With old mobo, I think you are safe with 2 fans per header. Same goes for most fan controllers. If you don't mind noise and have bit older psu with only molex, then connect straight to it. If it has fan connector and you want bit quieter fans, use rpm recucer between psu and fans. Cheap fan controllers do same thing, but might be messy and hard to get into right speeds.

    Insane Walrus reacted to Lavi in Not enough fan headers on mobo   
    One thing I would warn about with motherboard headers is to attach at most two fans to one header as they aren't designed to power a lot.
     
    If you're using PWM (4 pin) fans you can take a hybrid approach so they draw power from the PSU and the PWM signal from the motherboard. This lets you control them without issues.
     
    If they are 3 pan and too loud you might want to invest in a fan controller. You only need to play with it once to get the right ballence of airflow and noise and then leave it alone.

    It really depends on what functionality you'd be satisfied with. If you don't mind having your fans spin at the same speed constantly, plug them in to the PSU directly. You may also want to consider using a Y-splitter which will allow both fans connected to it to run at the same speed.

    Insane Walrus reacted to MsTrMind in Live Callers on The WAN Show   
    I like the idea but the placement (chronologic) is kind of wrong imo.
    It would be better to do the show as normal, and during the afterparty you should accept callers that can add something or with who you can discuss :-)
