I just realised that it's been so long since I last downloaded something illegally off the Internet, I'm not sure how to do it any more - what with all the new-fangled stuff. What makes me sad about it, is that it makes me feel small, insecure, and a bit scared (of the Big Bad Internet).
This must be what growing up feels like.

I just went out to buy some RAM, since an upgrade to this computer is long overdue... (since my compy is now 1/4 my age). Double checked what sort of RAM I needed, and what my board could handle, and went out to the store. I even brought a stick with me for demonstrative purposes. Snagged a 1GB stick, and brought it home, with the salesman's insistence that it was the right one.

I got home, opened my case, and lo and behold it didn't fit. By all logic, it should fit, since it's DDR2 as I need, but the it physically won't, because of a little raised tab.

Dell apparently likes making hardware upgrades nigh impossible by using custom connectors, etc. My RAEG is palpable.

Get out the pliers, and fix that?

That may explain why he's typing backwards now.

You'd think Toady would have some rule against discussing piracy...

By raised tab do you mean in the slot, there's a little ridge slightly off center?

You probably have a SIMM stick and your connectors are DIMM.

What I'm trying to say is don't follow Akigagak's advice.

I'm pretty sure that only counts for LPs. Or is that SA?

EDIT: Yeah it's just SA. You can't post links to illegal material.

Who's discussing piracy? As far as I can see they are just talking about the application utorrent, which has many legitimate uses.

Like MechWarrior 4.

I know that torrenting has legitimate uses, I used it to download an Ubuntu iso.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, utorrent is perfectly legal, but the discussion is based around someone talking about how he used to download illegal stuff. Talking about that is against forum rules.

e: Goddamn it, coming down with something, probably what my parents had, which means it might well knock me right the hell out. I am not letting this happen. I will kick your ass, flu!

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS.

[ECrownofFire]

I have a strong immune system, the last time I got sick was when I had pneumonia in September 2008

[Gunner-Chan]

Ear infection. And off and on headache and stomachache.

Goodd daaamn... This is annoying. ><

Kick it's ass, Jack! Use those big floppy bunnyrabbit feet! Then help Janet!
