Could be the fan dying, though it sounds like its working just as fine as it was yesterday.
This laptop had always had heating issues. So far, it's melted my charger plug and melted its power button onto the motherboard. Thought, after the power button melting, it's actually been really good at keeping itself cool. Also, today it wasn't hot at all.
I may have to get a cooling pad or something.

I would recommend trying to blow it out also, get a can of compressed air when you get the cooling pad.  Dust buildup is never good for a computer. 

[Lagslayer]

Oh, why can't manufacturers understand that laptops get hot? Why do they insist on putting the fan on the bottom, where is is undoubtedly being clocked by whatever surface it's on?

Or maybe that's the scam.

[MaximumZero]

CoolSense! Haaahahaha!

[RedKing]

That's why I only use my laptop when skydiving. No surface blockage and good air cooling.


My rage for the hour is my co-worker who can barely be arsed to show up for work when she's well, but now that she basically has walking pneumonia, she insists on showing up every day and coughing such as to cover every available surface in a fine mist of lung bits. Oh, and still takes her smoke breaks.

So. Much. RAIN. THE RAIN JACKET! IT DOES NOTHING!!
THE WATER! IT'S EVERYWHERE!!

Water's in my boots, my coat's all wet.
This damn rain is making me upset!
Water's in my pants, they are all soaked!
My socks are so full of water they are practically bloated!
The water's messed up my hair.
It is literally EVERYWHERE!
I am getting very very annoyed at this wet racket.
I wish I had bought a better rain jacket!


(Thanks for the inspiration da_nang.  )

I am currently trying to write chords / riffs for this.

Minor rage, last night: Trying to write something in OpenOffice Writer, trying to figure out how to apply a page style to just one page. No idea. It kept applying the change to the first page and third page, but the second page(which had a table on it) wasn't touched. And that was after figuring out how to create a new page style(more effort than it should have been).

Moderate rage, Wednesday morning/afternoon: Cleaning out my computer(of dust, not porn), which is neccessary every few months since it starts to randomly crash when I don't. Thought the underside of the CPU fan was dirty again. It wasn't, but I nearly broke off on of the mounting pegs trying to get it back in(ruined one fan this way already). Thankfully, I only bent it, and had to bend it back into place(more than once) with a pair of pliers. If I had broke it, I'd have turned the house upside down looking for superglue to fix it because I really don't feel like buying another goddamn fan.

It was most likely dirty RAM cards/slots.


Major RRAAAAAGGGE, all week: Stepdad has pretty much openly admitted that he assumes I'm a source of income for him, and behind my back said he's planning of forcing me to get job to turn over pretty much everything I'd make just so he can live his dream of living in a camper like the piece of trailer trash he's just trying to live as. Considering that if I got a job that pays like he wants, I'd probably have enough to afford my own place, which I'd do at first oppurtunity.

[nenjin]

Your stepdad is the TRUE Scumbag Steve.

[Aklyon]

I was complaining about my computer shutting off.

Make sure your comp's inside isn't caked in dust.

[Nadaka]

I just got proof that the bastard I am working with on AIT isn't testing his shit. There are compilation errors in code the code he handed me. Motherfucker wanted my name on the commit log for that shit.

[Aklyon]

So, are you going to fix it, or just give it back to him?

[Nadaka]

Fix it of course.

If you think he might take it, make sure to get direct deposit.

Trying to write something in OpenOffice Writer

Unless you're using the /old/ OpenOffice, don't do that. Oracle stole the name, and all the openoffice code (same programmers) now work under the name LibreOffice.

That said, I have very little confidence that will fix the issue. But it sounds like you were somehow setting the style to apply to "odd pages"

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Better yet, get a recorder and record all the illegal things he talks about doing.

So a few weeks ago I got the new iphone and I've spent the past few weeks trying to copy some music to it. I've been downloading all sorts of apps and libraries, only to find that none of them work. Then today I realize that the music player I've been using the whole time (Banshee) works fine.

In my quest to find absurdly campy Halloween stuff, I believe I've found the last refuge of the emo kids. They are not campy.
