<0> played that too
<1> Wow, wiki has 100 webheads.
<0> drunk + childrens game == fun
<2> ecstasy?
<0> close enough
<2> Rockstar's table tennis game ships this week
<0> hrm
<0> I need to go buy oblivion
<2> PC or 360?
<0> PC
<0> **** the 360
<1> Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
<2> I <3 my 360, so sweet
<2> But I never pay for games
<0> I borrowed my buddies to give it an honest shake
<0> playing the latest need for speed, I made the ****er crash or hang no less than 7 times in one day
<0> sitting vertical on a hardwood floor
<0> that thing shouldn't have overheated once do to enviornmental conditions
<0> I keep my house around 62f
<2> That's really weird
<0> I'm not sold on it beating my laptop for graphics either
<2> My apartment is pretty warm, standing vertically I have yet to crash
<0> granted it's $400ish and this is a $2500 box
<0> well, I play like a psycho, which may or may not have an impact
<0> I had so many ****ing cops chaising me
<2> The experience on my 42" HDTV + 5.1 surround is much better for gaming, I can't help but think
<2> lol I love that game.
<2> The cops are SO aggressive
<0> yeah but sull, I have 1920x1200 native on this laptop
<0> 17" wide
<2> nice, what laptop?
<0> plus, I can just svideo or dvi out
<0> inspiron 9300
<0> loaded
<0> 1 gig ram, 1.87ghz proc, 256meg geforce go 6800
<2> There are things like Ghost Recon AW that just look spectacular on a HDTV
<0> software overclockable
<2> ahh
<0> yeah but dude
<0> hd is still < than my res
<0> 1080i
<0> or 1080
<0> vs 1200
<2> Nevertheless, there's a 30" screen size difference here
<2> But I usually play with other people around
<0> yeah, but I can plug into your tv ;)
<2> blast!
<0> and, I can go to the bar and play ghost recon with ****ers there
<2> I want to take the Mac Mini I have in my cubicle home for that use
<0> which your huge tv wont allow
<0> this box is great for gaming
<0> I run san andreas pretty much maxed
<0> full res
<1> Damnit, I'm missing an HDTV conversation!?
<0> high detail
<0> 32bpp
<0> 4x aa
<0> 16x antistropic
<1> Apple really needs a tivo like DVR.
<1> Then I could just buy a FS and a bunch of mac mini's.
<1> It would be nice to have a PC on my LCD in the living room, but I think I'll hold off for TiVo v3.
<0> the only bitch I have with this lappy is the official nvidia linux driver ****s up my suspend abilities
<1> Weird.
<0> there are patches, but I'm lazy++
<1> Roger.
<0> I've got almost 4 days uptime on it right now
<0> since I live 4 blocks away, I just shut the lid, put it carefully in the bag, and go home
<1> What are you afraid of? HD problems?
<0> yeah, but only marginally
<0> it's warrantied
<1> Ya, those things are shockable to like 100g's
<2> I completely expected them to release a HD box a few months back
<0> yeah, but while running?
<1> Thats a good quesiton, lemme cehck.
<1> Because I know drives dont 'park' like they used to.
<0> no
<0> they don't
<1> I remember with my 286 w/ 40gb you had to park the drive to physically move it, heh.
<1> Ok got those numbers for ya d.
<0> word
<1> Shock, Operating: 2 msec (Gs)
<1> 350
<1> Shock, Nonoperating: 1 msec (Gs)
<1> 900
<1> 350g's is still pretty hard to hit.
<1> You really have to smash that ****er.
<0> well **** it, I'm not concerned then
<1> Thats for the standard drive specs for segate notebook drives.
<0> ****, I can't remember who makes this drive
<1> Interestingly though... for segate desktop drives....
<3> can you please explain to me what a 350 Gs shock would look like ?
<0> I don't llike it as much as I like my fujitsu that's in the vaio
<1> Shock, Operating: 2 msec (Gs)
<1> 63
<1> Shock, Nonoperating: 2 msec (Gs)
<1> 350
<0> \\sl-out, yeah, the ****ing ****
<1> So, dont kick your PC case or let it fall over.
<0> your ipod + sock == deadhobo
<3> i mean how hard i have to hit it to get a 350 ?:)
<0> and you can still jam your tunes
<0> 350x gravity
<1> Yep.
<0> so, pretty ****ing hard
<1> Though it'd only have to be for a fraction of a second.
<0> put it this way, you would handle maybe 6g's
<1> But ya, you'd have to drop it from quite a ways up.
<0> at very low velocity
<1> Chances are you'd destroy your laptop well before wrecking your drive.
<0> oh no wonder I hate this drive
<0> it's a Western Digital Scorpio 80GB 5400 rpm
<1> Thats not to say you couldnt get read/write errors if you shook the thing up and down.
<1> Its just much less likely.
<1> Lemme check the WD stats.
<0> http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=4622954/fd=1/
<0> 8megs on board buffer
<0> it's a good drive
<1> Very nice for a laptop.
<0> but I prefer my uberpwning fujitsu
<1> Really? I've had just prlbem after problem with the fujitsu's
<0> liquid bearings just make my nipples wiggle
<1> WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. Meets the highest shock tolerance specifications: 250 Gs while in operation, 900 Gs when it's idle. WD's DuraStep Ramp locks the heads in a secure position away from the disk to provide another layer of protection when the drive is not in use.
<0> rad
<1> So I imagine when the drive sleeps it locks it.
<0> yeah
<0> I can make hdparm sleep the drive
<1> Thats one thing I find really silly... in airplanes they use PC's, which in its self is fine, but they use desktop drives.
<1> They have tons of read/write probs so they use solid state mem and then do a very delayed read/write.
<1> WHY THE **** DONT THEY JUST USE NOTEBOOK DRIVES?!
<0> heh
<0> guy here has a toughbook
<0> the drive is in a gel can thing
<1> All those flight entertainment systems use a PC as their brains.
<1> Wow.
<0> it's ****ing silent
<1> Neat.
<1> Those roughbooks are amazing.
<0> you open the drive can, and there's a bunch of gel pads that the drive actually sits on
<1> Very heavy though.
<0> yeah, but you could literally beat someone to death with it, and then blog about it
<1> hahha true.
<1> http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/the_first_water_cooling_unit_for_pc_built_into_power_supply.php <-- wow thats kinda neat
<4> so long as you have a cooler room to exchange heat with
<4> water cooling isn't 'water cooling' it's liquid heat exchange
<4> once you get the heat into the water, you still have to dispose of it - if the room isn't cool enough the heat will build in the liquid
<5> phpbb plz
<4> Not here mate
