Back in my day, you unlocked processors with a pencil (or a proper conductive pen <_<).
 

Obviously...his hair style brought me here....

 
SwagFactor = Over 9000!
 
Okay the real reason... I've been doing builds since I was 14 (I'm now 32), I built my own 486, I loved PC's since, and when you find a likeminded fellow..with a awesome sense of humor, you can't NOT love it.
@slickpc is obviously included, when I heard about his OIL-PC and his love of all things tech (that linus couldn't be bothered with) it's a win win situation.
Likeminded fellows = SwagFactor

A few days ago there has been a post about this VIRO phone that, according to its developers, never discharges.
however, that thread was missing a couple important points.
 
VIRO is collaborating with Qualcomm: that's in fact the reason why the phone is supposed to have a snapdragon 810, and that's for me a reason to entrust the project, and actually hope that it's going to be a thing.
 
power sources: the most BS-looking thing of this project is the supposedly infinite battery life, so how did they manage to invent infinite energy? who divided by zero here?
First, they said that they couldn't find any source that could power a phone on its own. Their product has in fact to combine several power sources in order to get enough energy for all the hardware goodies that they want to power.
 
The biggest source, however, is going to be the energy that you spend rubbing your fingers on it: the phone will be able to recycle as much of that energy as possible (heat? pressure? graphene components for the surface seems to play a significan role in this). This could be great, because it means that the more you use your phone the more it's powered, and playing fruit ninja will give your phone a lot of energy, while watching a long video or movie could be much more problematic (as you don't produce movement).
Honestly i don't know if it's going to be the biggest source, i made that up, but well it's one of the sources
 
The battery won't be the same that you would find in your iphone. It will use a different technology, to not wear out because of the continue alimentation and charge-discharge cycles.
 
October, 1st 2014 is the day in which their website will be unveiled, along with the official presentation of the phone.
 
i look forward to the 1st october showoff, come on italians, don't let us down

Pros and Cons of UEFI :D 

How about DVDVideoSoft's youtube downloader? I use it myself and works perfectly. Its totally free too..
www.dvdvideosoft.com

The SSD will support any SATA 2 and SATA 3 data cable, and any SATA power. But nothing else will work. Most new optical drives use those cables however, so you should be fine

Just use Macrium Reflect

hardware info did some testing on it, if you write 10 gigs a day to your SSD it will last you 249 years

Corsair cliams it can only go down to 7v, but I just tested a new sp120 I had lying around and it runs at 28.6CFM and 0.761mmH20 at 5v. Not bad. 

Wont beat mine

Guy's please.

This thread is hilarious man!

so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff. two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it, we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen, so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive. and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.
