A scary thing happened.

I was playing TF2 with my slow, crap laptop which can barely run the game at 20fps and suddenly I started to smell that something is burning. The smell was like a mix of candles and dust and I got really scared and was almost sure that my laptop was burning. I shut the laptop off and looked at the bottom but no smoke or anything was there. I started googling (on my phone) how to deal with possible fire in my laptop. Then I went and asked my mom that can she smell something burning... and then she said: Yes I do. I just "shut down the candle" (I don't know how to say it. Get the fire off the candle... ) and I was like "oh, really?"

 

So yeah... I'm not using my laptop a few hours from now... :D

Soldiers and best suited to combat pyros given their long range and good movement when rocket jumping. When played properly you can stay far enough away to avoid the flame thrower, and agile enough the avoid the flames. The heavy is also a strong adversary to the pyro. Paired with a medic it can easily tank the flames. Note, however, that the pyro may be able to kill you if you miss too many shots.

Is that software compatible with Ubuntu? And I'm not a specialist when it comes to cleaning laptops... :D
