    My favourite has to be my grandfather, I went to visit him a few month's ago to help him put a pole saw (chainsaw on a stick) together and download the manual for it as well, while I'm sitting at his desk I noticed a GPU sitting there, so i asked what's that sitting there for? he then tell's me that his computer stopped working so he called a guy to come fix it, guy came out, took the GPU out, charged him $250 (that's not a typo) and went on his way, I explained to him what the GPU is meant to do and that he likely just had to update the drivers and if he wanted I can put it back in and have it running again in 10 minutes, and he say's "no, my computer guy know's what he's doing, all good" no point arguing with him, stubborn old man he is, so no worries pop, I took that sucker home and put the GPU in one of my folding rigs and set it to work

    The original PlayStation, I grew up in a rural area that didn't even get TV reception, we had a TV and VCR for watching movies though, when we got a ps1 for Christmas it was like opening a whole new freaking world, my brothers and I loved playing gran turismo.

    I actually have another theory on things,  When I did my education stuff I loved building things,  solving problems ect, so I did a boilermakers apprenticeship and got some welding tickets, I worked on some pretty freaking cool projects,  I helped build a Fricken 80 metre tall Ferris wheel,  worked on a 60 billion dollar inland gas project ect ect, followed my passion for building things. 
     
    And now I'm just Meh about it, I'd rather do something I don't hate and keep my passions as hobbies so I don't burn them out so to speak.

    Considering our political system allow's whatever political party that wins the election to change who our prime minister without a new election mid term, which has happened here 3 times in the last 8 year's, no I don't feel like my vote has any impact on my country, the political party can just change who's in charge of the country without consulting our voting populace at all.
     
    I vote for the Australian sex party for that reason, yes that is a legit political party here.
     
    -Edit-
     
    Not to mention that voting in both state and federal elections are mandatory here and you get fined for not voting, which just means all the derro's that couldn't give a shit and have no idea what's going on vote for whoever the hell they want, making it easy for politicians to win by tacking them self onto some highly emotive issue that dumb people care about but makes no difference to the running of the country, I feel really "meh" about voting here in general.

    They're pretty different in person, Koala's live in tree's, eat'a leaves ect, the wombat's live in underground burrow's and can't climb tree's, Kids and countless dogs have been killed chasing them down they're burrow's, they squash the dog/kid/small animal against them and the wall of the burrow.
     
    Koala's can be nasty too, they're claw's are about two inches long and sharp to climb tree's, i hit one in my car once and broke it's leg, so i though hey i'll do the right thing and take it to the Vet, put it in the back seat, and it literally destroyed the entire rear interior of my car, as in the seat foam was like peanut packaging, and clawed my arm's badly enough to need 23 stitches in total when i got him out of the car.

    ttoks reacted to Zyndo in running two different 980Ti's in SLI?   
    My OCD would beg to differ
     
     
    All joking aside they will be completely SLI compatible with one another. There are also other ways to run a multi GPU setup other than SLI. Don't ask me how, I don't really know much about those other ways, but they do exist, and they may be worth looking into depending on what you want to be doing. Sometimes you can even set them up to run independently and do different things simultaneously.

    Looks
    Yea, your client isn't running.  The "Local Connecting - Inactive" status happens when FAHControl can't talk to the client.  You need to get your client up and running before FAHControl or the web control can talk to it.  No idea how using "pause" killed it; likely something else conspired against you ...
     
    Easiest fix is to do a standard uninstall, then make sure you delete the config files for FAH located in the "C:\Users\<user-name>\Appdata\Roaming\FAHClient" folder.  (substitute your account name for <user-name>, of course).  I think the "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient folder is fully removed - delete it if it isn't.  Reinstall and you should be golden.
     
    If that doesn't solve your problem, I'm following this thread and will watch for further issues.
