<1> if they do that
<1> because
<1> lotta people dont have net
<0> maybe won't sell
<1> that watch movies
<2> and lots of people pirate
<1> old people an ****
<3> and yeah, it won't sell..who has hdcp capable displays?
<2> >_>
<4> ill bet you good money it wont happen
<0> nobod
<4> ill buy blu-ray tho thats for sure
<3> because otherwise it gets scaled down to 576 lines..rather than 720 or 1080
<4> who doesnt have HD tvs?
<2> me
<4> zomg downscale call 911
<3> me
<4> well get off irc
<0> me

<2> whoes complaning time?
<2> im not complaning:\
<4> RogerRabb is
<4> duh
<0> :p
<3> ...and you don't like people complaining?
<2> thats a retorical question
<3> indeed
<4> i dont care what you do
<4> just trying to help you
<3> kind of interesting though..both formats being very nazi like over their restrictions - eg giving studios the right to destroy or disable your hardware if they see you doing something with it they don't like
<4> it will all be hacked
<3> feels like they're shooting themselves in the foot and trying to take down everyone else with them
<4> and they have blu-ray burners already
<3> there's no doubt in my mind it will be hacked.
<4> xbox360 still isnt hacked very impressive
<4> of course the reason is prob cuz all the crackers didnt want to pay top $ for the out of stock pos xbox 360 hehehe
<3> yep indeed
<3> and still haven't seen any good games released for 360
<3> maybe in a couple of years
<4> hah years im sure they have good games
<4> but i dont like paying alot for each game
<5> ;D
<6> exactly?
<6> lol

<8> I've got an hp laptop... the port for the power cable has some kind of problem with it... is it possible to get something like that fixed? I love the laptop, don't just want to throw it away over this, seems a waste
<8> the cable itself is fine, it's the port it plugs into that has the problem
<9> hello
<9> furious, we only speak in binary here
<9> you might be able to purchase a new ac power unit
<9> but it'll be expansive
<8> dammit :(
<9> and may require soldering
<9> however you spell solder
<8> that's spelled right
<9> k
<8> man, that really ****s :(
<9> take it apart, see if it's a detachable unit from the mobo
<9> i know somebody who replaced his, it was like 150 bucks
<8> hmm, k, I'll try that... I've already got it partly apart, so I could get out the drive
<8> so if I do end up tossing this thing, what should I use to wipe the drive beforehand?
<9> a big magnet
<8> er, not tossing... craigslisting :)
<9> craigslisting?
<8> hmm, I don't know if I have one of those round... there something around the house I can use as a magnet?
<8> well, I figure even if it's not worth it to me to repair, it's worth it to someone, and I'd rather they used it than it went in some landfill
<9> get a 2.5 to 3.5 attachment kit
<9> and use it in your desktop
<8> I've got no desktop... I could put it in an external housing, which I have, but I've already got an 80GB drive in it, and this one's only 30
<10> anyone here from australia?
<8> damnit, and I've already lost a screw from it... whenever I put something back together after taking it apart, it's always missing at least one screw :)
<4> hah
<9> they do have programs that'll erase all the data
<4> i always have one skrew left over
<9> but i've never used any
<9> i got a magnet that'll lift 50lbs
<4> i used this awesome program called giant magnet
<4> hah
<4> 50 pounds is decent
<8> hah, optware, too bad you're not around, I could bum all your leftover screws off you and we'd be even :)
<4> haha for cases and stuff i prob have a whole shoebox of skrews
<9> lol
<4> svc.com sells cool screws for cheap if you realllllllly need some
<4> like UV skrews skull skrews lock skrews
<8> hehe, cool... I think I'm pretty safe for now, I've pared down my network from like 6 desktops to 2 laptops :)
<8> hopefully 3 if I can ressurect this HP
<4> i throw hp's out the window for fun
<8> ok, I've got the case open... I've got the power adapter exposed
<4> ok start chewing on it
<9> is it part of the board, or is it unconnectable?
<8> hmm... this is the only hp I've owned, but it's pretty nice... just an older celeron box but the fit/finish is way nicer than the dell I replaced it with, speakers as well
<4> make sure its plugged in
<8> part of the board :/
<9> new mobo time
<8> dammit dammit
<8> just not worth replacing the mobo for me
<4> hahah gotta love them HP
<4> 35$ foxconn mobo
<8> hmm, really?
<4> YES
<4> I personally recommend
<9> it's not gonna fit in his laptop
<4> faster than 875 intel chipset for buisness
<4> oh its laptop
<9> unless you use a dremmel
<4> sorry im dumb heheh
<4> was zoneing out
<8> well, crap.
<9> whats wrong with the ac -> dc power thing
<9> doesn't work at all?
<8> I'll put it up on craigslist after I wipe the drive... sure somebody can use it, for parting out components if nothing else
<9> i'd sell everything as seperate parts
<8> the cable is fine, but I had to hold it in place _just so_ and the space just so got smaller and smaller over time
<9> on amazon or ebay
<8> til now it just won't work at all
<8> I'm sure it's the port and not the cable tho, coz it didn't matter how the cable sat, just how the head sat in the port
<9> HP pos
<9> they use the cheapest hardware money can't buy
<8> who do you like for notebooks?
<9> sony or toshiba
<4> YES
<4> both those i love them
<4> but people talk bad about sony
<4> so id stay with toshiba
<8> I heard sonys were overpriced and not reliable?
<8> not saying myself, just repeating what I've heard
<4> yup thats what people say
<8> my mom's had toshibas, but she says their support ****s
<9> watch out for widescreen toshibas, some of them stretch the image instead of resize the resolution
<8> well, I'm pretty much on this dell til it dies
<4> toshiba has decent support sent my buddy new laptops cuz his had recall
<4> i didnt see anything wrong with his either
<4> was playing games and everything fine
<4> but they upgraded it for free
<8> that's cool
<9> yeah
<9> last year toshiba had a huge manufacturing ****up
<9> a whole line of their product wasn't working properly
<11> I see a rosewill ram stick that clearly has pqi chips...is there any reason to buy the the $10 more expensive rosewill ram over the pqi ram...
<8> what about dells? that's what I've got right now... this one, and a secondhand ancient one I'm going to run linux on
<4> b***goon for cheap *** ram i get Gskill
<4> dells are scam
<9> they are cheap
<4> they look great then you start to see what you pay for
