<ManKind> what file
<Luck> its prolly being used my windows or its part of windows xp files
<Luck> what file is it?
<the_doc> it's called Timeless.exe. It's an old DOS screensaver I was trying to get to work. I downloaded it last night, but it p***ed the virus-check
<CoolJoke> well i want a good moble one but has a plenty of power to last awhile
<CoolJoke> 2000 or less or so is how much i think i wanna spend
<CoolJoke> im gonna use it for cl***
<CoolJoke> but it may get other uses
<the_doc> CoolJoke: who are you talking to?
<CoolJoke> [4:46pm] <ManKind> CoolJoke are you looking for a desktop replacement laptop or a more portable solution?
<CoolJoke> :P
<the_doc> ahhh :-)
<CoolJoke> i see ones with mobile pentium 4s
<CoolJoke> but the batterylife concerns me ...
<CoolJoke> these arent centrino
<bofh`> pentium M is the only way to go
<plake> anyone wanna buy a laptop?
<plake> I have an Acer TravelMate 4501WLMi for sale
<Sh4dowcat> nope
<Sh4dowcat> got one
<CoolJoke> is it possible to upgrade a video card on a laptop
<Sh4dowcat> no
<plake> incorrect
<plake> certain Dell XPS machines allow upgrades
<Sh4dowcat> plake: unless it's a dell XPS or Alienware
<plake> exactly
<plake> so a no statement would be incorrect :P
<Sh4dowcat> actually it's correct
<Sh4dowcat> because those "laptops" are technically desknotes
<Sh4dowcat> they weigh more than a child
<plake> bleh
<plake> zzzzzz
<Perfekt> wtf
<Perfekt> you cant do that
<plake> someone please buy my laptop!
<Sh4dowcat> never!
<Sh4dowcat> we know you broke it
<plake> hrm, how am I typing on it right now then?
<Kno> hello?
<Sh4dowcat> external keyboard
<Kno> anyone seen this msn spyware msg floating around msn messenger
<Kno> or if there is a fix to it
<boachan> you meant those popups
<boachan> thats windows messenger
<Kno> Hey you can see who's blocking you on MSN! Download it now www.***.com
<Kno> like when my friend click on anyones name
<Kno> he says it does that
<Sh4dowcat> plake: I know all about Acer laptops, their country headquarters is just down the street
<Sh4dowcat> and that particular model ****s
<CoolJoke> laptop shopping is hard u think one is nice but then theres something wrong with it. may it be the graphics arent good, the thing weighs to much or the price sux
<CoolJoke> for example
<plake> er no it doesn't...
<plake> have you used one?
<CoolJoke> or the battery sux
<Sh4dowcat> plake: I have three acer laptops
<boachan> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Popups.htm
<boachan> try that
<CoolJoke> is acer good?
<Sh4dowcat> as I said, their country headquarters is just down the street
<Sh4dowcat> I vet their models regularly
<CoolJoke> and?
<plake> vet?
<CoolJoke> are they well priced
<CoolJoke> ?
<Sh4dowcat> some acer models ****
<CoolJoke> hmm their site is awful slow
<CoolJoke> lol
<Sh4dowcat> that's because it's in Taiwan
<CoolJoke> what are the good models
<plake> Sh4dowcat: there is absoultley nothing wrong with my laptop
<plake> nor does it ****
<plake> please stop spewwing garbage
<plake> I need a tablet pc for school, thus why I am selling the laptop
<CoolJoke> what are the good models
<CoolJoke> hmm are there tablets that kinda work as both...
<Sh4dowcat> plake: let's start
<Sh4dowcat> ok firstly, it's a 15" laptop with only XGA
<plake> ugh, dude, shut your pie hole please
<Sh4dowcat> that's strike one
<plake> its 15.4"
<plake> so get it right
<plake> and its WXGA
<Sh4dowcat> plake: still ****s
<plake> lol, you amaze me... no shh
<Sh4dowcat> there are acer models with 15", that run in SXGA+
<plake> *er now shh
<ManKind> most manufacturers make models with 15" and SXGA+
<Sh4dowcat> 4600 series I believe
<Sh4dowcat> ManKind: well Acer doesn't do that on all models
<Sh4dowcat> they skip on the LCDS
<Sh4dowcat> 4650 series actually
<Sh4dowcat> 4600 is the successor to the 4500 series, which gives you widescreen
<Sh4dowcat> which drains batteries, and doesn't give you screen real estate
<plake> sh: do your homework... http://www.gen-x-pc.com/lcd3.htm
<plake> my laptop runs for 5+ hours on its 8 cell battery
<plake> again, don't talk about a machine unless you have used it...
<Sh4dowcat> plake: SXGA+ is 1400x1050
<Sh4dowcat> plake: I have
<Sh4dowcat> it ****s
<Sh4dowcat> and you can ask anyweb, I'm the Acer proponent in here
<plake> hrm... your opinion...
<DoYouKnow> plake: what kind of laptop do you have?
<plake> its an Acer TravelMate 4501WLMi
<Sh4dowcat> DoYouKnow: you want a laptop that has the smallest screen with the greatest resolution
<plake> http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=420403
<Sh4dowcat> because what you are after is screen real estate
<Sh4dowcat> no point in having a 15" screen if it only runs in 1024x768 for example
<Sh4dowcat> also look for the amount of battery time
<Sh4dowcat> and no you don't need a fancy graphics card
<Sh4dowcat> you don't game on a laptop
<ManKind> why not
<Sh4dowcat> ManKind: because gaming while on batteries (in cl***) drain batteries
<Sh4dowcat> and batteries are expensive
<Sh4dowcat> you don't want to run on batteries unless you have to
<Sh4dowcat> and when you do, conserve power
<plake> Sh4dowcat: I hate saying this, but please stop talking like you know it all, and know what people want
<Sh4dowcat> that way you get them to last longer
<ManKind> so don't game on batteries
<plake> everyone has different ideas for their laptops etc
<plake> and uses...
<ManKind> Shadowcat btw, using the battery doesnt drain it
<ManKind> mean temperature at storage and % capacity determine battery life
<Sh4dowcat> ManKind: numerous recharge cycles do though
<ManKind> no
<ManKind> not with li ion
<Sh4dowcat> so they say
<Sh4dowcat> still... I know people with the same laptop as me, exact same model
<ManKind> why do you think they say that...
<Sh4dowcat> and they use their batteries liberally
<Sh4dowcat> and after six months my battery is in better shape
<Sh4dowcat> same cl***es, etc
<ManKind> exactly
<Sh4dowcat> but I plug it in whenever possible
<ManKind> the lower charge your battery has the less it drains the life of the battery
<ManKind> if you keep it at 0% for 2 years, it will have better charge than if you leave it at 100% for 2 years
<Sh4dowcat> actually according to tomshardware you should keep Li Ion at 80% if you store them
<Sh4dowcat> hmm...
<ManKind> storage @ 60degrees at full charge = ~40% loss after 3 months
<ManKind> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion
<Sh4dowcat> ManKind: 60 C or F?
<ManKind> C
<boachan> haha tahts hot
<plake> ManKind: answer me :P
<ManKind> ?
<plake> he meant F... check yer pm mate
