Ditch all the motorola crap like the social networking app (and all the bloatware widgets slowing your shit down). Download Facebook for Android.

Here's a question; Android 2.2 has this cool portable hotspot feature, which I noticed the Droid X had despite running 2.1. It seems this is not a feature of android though and you have to pay separately (at least on Verizon) for data. so whats gonna happen to this when theres a 2.2 update for the Droid X?

Verizon disables the tethering feature in Froyo for their phones? They have control over the OS they ship, don't forget. You could just root your phone and install Froyo yourself.

Probably something I'd end up doing anyway

yea sprint charges 30/mo for tethering but as soon as froyo comes out for evo im rooting it and getting that shit for free

Considering I'm only refreshing either my favorites or friends serverlists, with less than 25 entries in each at any given time, does that still sound like the cause?

I used to get NAT errors in the router's logs when I'd do a masterlist refresh in COD4, but that was querying a lot more servers, and TF2 never did it before now so that's why idgi

I had to do this recently despite it never being a problem before, so I guess something has changed connections-wise

I had the same issue, fixed it by setting the download speed for Steam to 256k/DSL.

Of course, now it's deciding it wants to be unplayable now that I've upgraded to Windows 7.

Stuttering and hanging up the ass. None of the "fixes" I've found have worked.

Goddammit.

Nevermind that, apparently my version of TF2 hates running in 64bit. -32bit as a launch parameter cleared everything up.

Try red and black.
Nice to see you got a replacement so soon!

thankfully this is the only area that has to be re-painted. paint just kind of fell off after a day of drying.

andrae!msMC2JoVUI   10/07/29(Thu)12:28

thats a cool lookin model m but whenever i paint anything i fuck it up 100% of the time so im just keepin mine gross gray colored

>>5683
the real key with spraypaint is to not put it on too thick. its better to do 10 thin coats until you get the right color than put on too much and fuck it up(which i think i did in that pic). Also its better to keep the can further away from the object being painted than closer, as too close and the paint will pool up. Basically, be super cautious and it wont matter how good you are at painting.

Also for small plastic items, dont paint them, dye them! Its super easy and safe too, just take a pot you can afford to throw out, or buy one for dying. i got a 10 dollar stock pot at walmart for this. Go to your local grocery store, and pick up some RIT dye in the color you need. fill the pot up halfway with water, throw in the dye, and boil. Once you have a boil, lower to medium high heat and throw in your plastic bits for about 1 minute. take the pot off the stove, and pour it right into the sink with the water running from the tap. Rinse off the plastic and voila! New, colorful plastics. This doesnt work on dark plastics as well though, you can see in my first picture that the shift and enter keys came out slightly darker, due to them being gray insteay of white keys originally.

all fixed. now for the terrifying part, 4 more coats and then the lacquer to seal it.

>460 SLI

http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-460-sli-review/ SP!oNiiCHanl6   10/07/27(Tue)03:13

um, guys, at least in NA, he absolutely has a valid point

it does require a compatible motherboard and a somewhat more powerful power supply. but when you consider that you're looking at a $400 fucking graphics card, these are not unreasonable requirements by any stretch of the imagination. (i mean, hell, my oldass power supply would be able to do it, and i almost just ordered a motherboard that supported SLI that wouldn't have cost much more at all than the one I went with)
it does add an extra concern to reliability i guess, but as a counter point you could look at it as redundancy, or even an extra graphics card to pawn off or hand down down the line maybe, idk

and with these minor requisites, it will way outperform single card solutions at the same price point. the same thing happened with the 8800gt, two in SLI would outperform any single GPU solution available, like the 8800 ultra. and back then there were a lot of games where it just didn't scale very well, but SLI has really come a longass way since then. instead of being very inconsistant and varying from shit to good it ranges from decent to phenomenal. i am honestly having a really hard time believing some of the numbers on both an guru3d and anandtech.

now that i've looked into it, if i could build myself a new high end system right now i would easily go this route.
(actually the easily part is not entirely true, but for reasons that i am in an extremely vast minority on)

>>5645
i know you were just making a funny pic about SLI but it's worth reiterating that the 460 is not an unreasonably hot power guzzler at all, it is just fine. (i mean, it's not the efficiency beast that the 5770 is, but it's quite alright)

if you can SLI get 2 gtx 460's and get 20%+ more performance for 10 dollars more

>>5653
grayman is in the UK. the cheapest 460 in the UK is £182 i think, wheras the cheapest 5870 is £275 and the cheapest 5850 is £195

460 needs a price drop in the UK to even be worth considering atm

Making a copy would be better anyways
DVD read/write vs harddrive
Though the difference in pcsx2 should be fuck all
Try the most recent build at http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/
If you really want to put effort into it you can go through the trouble of converting it, copying the save to a real memory card, getting past it and then back again

>>5671

I didn't know if you were IMPLYIN.G that he should "use his PS2 because he bought the game."

So I asked him why he didn't just use his DVD in his computer's drive because it occured to me that he probably didn't realize that the DVD plugin used by PCSX2 which you normally map to your virtual drive for mounted iso's can also be mapped to a regular drive and you can read PS2 dvd's with that. Otherwise he would have done that already.

I don't see why you're being so insensitive about it.

I was worried about you gar

seeing you post a wall of text averts that though

>>5678

Every time I give a short answer somebody throws a bitch fit. I don't like giving long answers, I only do it for my adoring public.

haha fag

i want to help but either you are really stupid or not trying hard enough to troll.

>>5630
should've bought cillit bang

if anyone was wondering this is caused by a virus so if this is you get it fixed now

any more info on it? I've since reinstalled anyway, just curious

>>5652
heres some info for ya: don't download and run shit from shitty sources

also install gentoo

but I didn't :/

>response time is irrelevant.
insignificant is the word, not irrelevant

>>5627
i just bought that monitor, it looks really nice

you know when the screen is showing a very dark grey that is actually supposed to be black because of the backlight? led backlights fix that and give you better looking colours

and if 1080p video is choppy then you need a better cpu

Low response times are often spoofed with super high voltages. This leads to a real delay that is actually about 20 ms or so. While the reported figure is correct, sorta, it's only been pushed that high because of a marketing strategy.

The difference between 8ms and 2ms is unnoticeable at best, and you're much less likely to get a spoofed response time at 8, because it's not the questionable front of the market.

>Low response times are often spoofed with super high voltages. This leads to a real delay that is actually about 20 ms or so.
uhhh source please

i know that rated response times are questionable at best but uh what

folder.jpg is working for me with WMP, didn't bother trying with winamp since you don't use that and I don't use foobar

perhaps it is a setting in foobar that you need to check? that is, if you had to reinstall it, otherwise i duno

try renaming one to cover.jpg or albumart.jpg or even albumartsmall.jpg as well

had to define the filename manually in foobar, works fine

Problem solved... I'm an idiot.
I was renaming them folder.jpg but that was making them folder.jpg.jpg
In XP I had file extensions visible all the time so that's probably why I got confused.
Thanks for help tho.
