  1. yes, 3-4 years was when I used AHK with SA-MP to make quick binds.
  2. You could try making your own script with AutoHotKey. Don't ask me for help though, I haven't touched it in YEAAARSSSSS
  3. Recommend me a PC

    Do you know what Virtual Memory is, ReGIONALS?
  4. Antec is a shitty buy as they use caps that are made in China, rather than Japan.
  5. Recommend me a PC

    I think you just dislike opinions that differ from yours.
  6. Recommend me a PC

    I agree with Potshot's post except I prefer Corsair PSU over OCZ, but it's all about the fanboy opinion. dual cores are still a smart buy for now, if you think this desktop is going to last a long ass time, maybe you could pump it to a Phenom II X3 at best, but going Quad isn't worth it if you're gaming small time, even the high-end games like Crysis 2 or Bad Company 2 aren't going to push you that hard, but if you want to stay top dog, get the X3 top price. I'd recommend sticking with the HD5770, it's a super amazing buy right now, no fucking joke. Another thing is that Potshot's ram link is currently unavailable. I personally don't think ANYONE needs 4gb ram if you just game, I'm sorry, but it's true. I've been running 2GB for 3 years now and don't think you'll need more than 2-3 if you are just gaming. Dual channeling is nice though.
  7. I love taking showers, the hot soothing water clears the mind and allows me to think. I think of some pretty good ideas when I'm in the shower. I feel like the only place I can really take up things going on in my life is in a shower. My mind is at ease, while still being able to think about things. I could say I've had a few epiphanies about my life in the shower.
  8. I'm not like everybody else during sex The Kinks
  9. When I used XP i used like XPize or whatever, which mostly just fixed some of those Win2000 icons scattered over the place. it looked mucho gracias. I also recommend modding your uxtheme.dll for custom unsigned themes. But a good post either way. I thought vista looked alright.
  10. How much did the 12GB of DDR3 cost? When my friend was building a ESX PC she spent a shit-ton for ram. anywho: Q6600 2.4 Stock, OC'd to 3.2GHz (highest i could get that passed prime95, ive heard people do 3.6 though) 8800GT 512MB (i could OC this as im still under warranty, but OCing GPUs is SO shitty and fruitless) 2GB 800mhz Dual Channel Crucial GA-P35-DS3L Rev 2.0 Motherboard 500GB SATA 3gb/s WD Green (i tried to get the blue ) RAIDMAX Smilodon Dirktooth Green Some stocky 500W PSU Tuniq Tower Heatsink (the 950 series I THINK) Some stocky DVD-ROM drive this was like $400 at purchase a little less than 3 years ago. without the HD at that time, bought the HDD like last year or some shit.
  11. I guess you're right. If you think that you should get a laptop over a desktop because you can save money on shipping costs, then go ahead. But if you want to save money and not make a silly purchase, don't buy a _gaming_ laptop.
  12. Go Corsair and hit up atleast 600W just so you have pushing room if you decide to rebuild you can at least keep your PSU. When you "reup" your pc you'll want to have atleast 600W out there especially with the high wattages that nvidia and ati are dragging out.
  13. Come on guys, his first image was a photobucket account linked image and the second one was a .de site, you guys should've caught this one easier than a detroit ball going down left field.
  14. How much would the laptop cost to ship on UPS? The one you have?
  15. Mac's + Other stuff

    Get free software like GIMP and Paint.net. If you have the cash you might want to get Photoshop. Which you said you are. But you really shouldn't get a mac D: all this software is on Windows as well. There are certainly a lot more apps that you'll want here and there, but from my point of view those are the only ones I really know that are mainstream.
  16. A laptop can range from very heavy to very light. In most cases when you buy a "gaming" laptop it can fairly heavy. Depending on how much your desktop weighs. It can range the same. Desktops and laptops don't usually differ in durability. Believe it or not, a desktop tower is pretty durable. As for your LCD I agree, it would be hard to ship. But the extent of $200? Don't be ill witted. If you wish to bring up small details that can garner the idea of owning a desktop, I shall aswell. A laptop can easily be stolen. I've seen it happen once (airport). And have heard of it many a times. Laptops are also usually the target to more clumsy effects like dropping them, or spilling something on their keyboard and ruining the parts inside. I disagree. Most laptops sold today WILL be outdated in 2 years. In fact, most laptops performance wise are still years behind in terms of performance done by desktop powerhouses. Laptops also have additional costs, like the cost of external fans if you need to keep it cooler, along with having to replace your battery, or in some cases, your A/C cord as well. It's possible also tobreak your keyboard and need to reship to manufacturer. Either way, my recommendation is to stay extremely cheap. Hell you can even get backbone PCs with very tiny cases, get a LCD and attach it to the barebone PC (its not as hard as you think). Most laptop manufacturers use flimsy cases that suffer from overheating, etc Agreed. If a laptop overheats after 20 hours that is your main problem. You think thats a long time but most desktop computers run for WEEKS NON-STOP. I think I've clocked atleast a month at one time on my desktop. Believe me, they overheat too easily. I don't own one. My school owns them and I've used them for 4 years. 2 years I've had them 24/7 for about 200 days straight. They are tablet computers that cost about $800 without the software installed (it's much much much more than that). Laptop manufacturers like HP, Dell, Gateway, Sony, and Apple are NOT what you think. They are not "REALLY GOOD" laptop makers. They use extremely cheap laptops parts and attempt to use poor power supply caps which cause melting in the power supply unit. It CAN kill you and your laptop. Laptop manus are not your friends. There's a reason we build our computers, it's because computer manufacturers fuck you over and we all know it. Gaming laptops are a bad buy. This is from personal experience and years of computer knowledge coupled with computer repairing. Mostly software issues, however. This is probably one of the biggest lies I have ever seen. I work with students on homework each day on our tablets. Our teachers tablets only last about 5 minutes 100%. I can prove that too. My laptop from last year last about an hour or two so I was content but I've seen some just shit poor battery life. Upgrading your battery seems to be the only way to get shit done too. Also PSPs are the shit. Emulating SNES/NES/N64 and being able to play PS1 and PSP exclusive games. Now that owns.
  17. No, this is because you get a gift, then the gifter takes his credit card and files the purchases as fraud or etc, anything that can get the purchase declined. The steam account that received the gift is then disabled. I'm surprised this isn't common knowledge yet either, I've declined quite a few of $1 gifts just because of this.
  18. So I see you are a fan of Moot? anyway, all the cool kids are using reddit now. and doing bacon.
  19. I DO NOT recommend going to this site for help on getting PC parts that you WILL NOT use for overclocking. Most parts recommended on this site are made to overclock. If you wish to use a PC that stays at stock settings, you should consult elsewhere as most of these parts perform poorly at stock settings, and most products there are specifically targeted towards the overclocking population. If you are thinking of building your own PC at this current time, I recommend taking these tips: ATi Graphics cards are currently a generation further than most nvidia cards, even if your nvidia fanboyism kicks in, tell it to shut up. ATI GPUs are the things to buy RIGHT NOW. Even their budget cards and high-end ones are a better buy. Buying new CPU? Make sure to think of what price range you want and how far you want to go. the i7 six core cpus that are 9 series are a definite NO BUY. these CPUs run a socket that will no longer be advanced upon. 1156 socket is the way to go. or the AM3, most tech experts however, think that the AM3 socket will be burned out within the next few years for AMD is going to need to refresh their hardware to keep up with Intel standards. However, the budget CPUs are a buy. Phenom II X4 955 is a must buy for the budget user! Buying a NCI card? DON'T. Most motherboards with built in network capabilities work just fine. Buying DDR2 is currently a recommended no-no. They cost an extremely high amount of money. This is because people are trying to phase DDR2 chips out and sell DDR3. DDR3 is used by any new socket, ranging frmo AM3 to 1156 to 1366. Don't skimp on power supplies, don't skimp on heatsinks. Want to get SATA 6GB/s? Don't bother. Get SATA 3GB/s. SSDs are currently a DEFINITE NONO. DO NOT BUY SOLID STATE DRIVERS. I REPEAT, DO. NOT. BUY. SOLID. STATE. DRIVES. Seriously, don't buy SSDs. Their software and hardware is currently extremely buggy and you will suffer data lose along with poor performance compared to current HDD standards, don't get reeled into new tech hype. Most times it's buggy, and broken. Wait until the dust settles. Don't listen to anyone who had the one case of X part breaking so they must be a shitty manufacturer. Most cases it's case of defective bunch. However, here is a list of manufacturers to definitely buy from: CPU: Intel AMD GPU: MSI EVGA BFG Pretty much any company. PSU: Corsair Cases: Raidmax (These cases are not actually that good, but they work for budget) Antec (extremely well air flow, a must) COOLER MASTERS (same as antec, but even better. these are the best high end cases you will find, if you have the cash BUY THEM) HDD: Western Digital Motherboard: Gigabyte Anything but ASUS really, or Foxconn. Soundcards: Realtek. Anything really, but from experience Realtek works great! RAM: This is a tough one... Corsair G.SKILL (i don't really recommend these. but if you don't want Corsair, this is really the only other option that isn't as shitty as competitors like Crucial or OCZ) But really, I can't stress this enough. DON'T BUY SOLID STATE DRIVES.
  20. Laptops aren't made for gaming. If you see them being labeled as such, just walk right past the product, all laptops overheat easily due to poor airflow and manufacturer parts. They are made to downsize and should never be used for more than a couple of hours at best for web browsing. Gaming laptops end up being a bad purchase. They are not easily upgradable so when you end up paying $1000 for a laptop you are generally not able to upgrade said computer and your piece of hardware ends up becoming outdated in a little more than 2 years. NEVER buy a gaming laptop. There's a reason we use desktops, it's because they are cheap to make, have good airflow, allow you to customize what you want in a PC, and can be maintained to be able to keep up with hardware specifications for atleast 4-5 years without having to upgrade every part simultaneously. Either way, even if you think you are on the go 24/7 (you never really are, are you?), a "gaming" laptop is a bad choice to play games port-ably on. Maybe just buy a DSi or something?
