And blarg. I uninstalled by drivers so I could use the computer as my sister had to take her ipad to school. It runs alright, but every 10 or so pixels there is a column of 20 or so pixels that are messed up.It makes reading text and comparing graphics card difficult. And I can't move windows because there are massive redraw errors. And the back of my mind is daring me to start up something like minecraft and see just what terror it will cause. I'll do that after ordering something and it's on the way, just in case the card explodes or something.
 I'm also taking a bunch of screenshots to show what this looks like, if it works right.

There is no way I would ever leave something like that in an otherwise working computer.

Meh, The acceptability of grudges depends on the situation, imho.

Spoiler:  strictly speaking this ought to go in the things that made me sad thread (click to show/hide)

 
I'VE NEVER FORGIVEN MY MOTHER FOR FORCING ME TO LEAVE PIANO CLASS, WHICH I LIKED AND WAS GOOD AT, IN FAVOR OF JUDO, WHICH I DISLIKED AND AT WHICH I SUCKED!
AND ALL FOR SOME LAME "HE MUST LIKE SPORTS! AND PHYISICAL CONTACT (whatever that means)!!!" REASONING

 The motherboard doesn't have an integrated graphics card, so if I take it out I don't have internet access. It's finals week and I have a bunch of projects, I need to use this computer. The sooner i order a good card the better. Although my dad was yelling at me to go to Best Buy or something because whenever I offer a solution that's cheaper and better he'll complain about time. If time, money and quality are all good he'll complain about something else petty. Blerg.

Oh noes! The horrific bitch!!!

 I'm looking at another site and each time I go back here and refresh, I see a new post. It makes me happy.

You don't know what a big case is until you see these.

@Duke: Does your (school?) have any sort of contingency plan, or could you borrowsteal someone elses compy?

[scriver]

Well he does have a sister. Isn't that what siblings are for? At least my brother seem to think so, seeming as how every time he's visiting a few more cd's of mine go missing.

 I could probably use a flash drive to carry it to college and work on it whil-
 Wait, shit. Presentation due Monday in the morning. Half my notes are on this computer, which I can access, but I don't have any busses that go down there on the weekend. I'll just pester my sister to make me use her laptop. She's tossed me off some game many times because she had to complete something, it's time to pay her a visit. This is the other sister, not the ipad sister.

Spoiler: I actually can't tell if there are errors on this screenshot or not. (click to show/hide)

 I'm suspecting they are not on it, which is a bit odd but oh well.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Well, it'd be pretty suckish of her to not let you use the pc, good luck in any case Duke.

[ToonyMan]

Borrowsteal one of my computers Duke.  I won't look.  I've got like three anyway.

I am currently on a bus up to Connecticut as we speak.

And yeah, if the promo code still works I'm gonna try getting This. I dunno how long it'll take to ship, so I'll probably buy a cheapass 30$ card from Best Buy or something while it comes.

That's so you can put 1024 processors, 24GB RAM, three sound cards, four video cards, 50 USB slots, and 800 fans in it. You are running Linux, right?

you say that like 24gb or ram is special.

that's only double of what I occasionally run out of at work.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Hmm, I've done the calculations, and catapaulting/trebucheting my laptop to you is out of the question. Sorry.

[Leafsnail]

Well, trying out my new Xbox 360, I've been playing Black Ops.

All I can say is that the story is AMAZING.  You know how most shooter games start with a training mission, where your aim is to pass so you can go to war?

In this one, your first objective is to find and kill Fidel Castro.  Believe it or not, it gets sillier from there on out.
