To make something like the construction equipment architecture line you would have to be huffing something.

Got my 2400+ all pimped out now. I'd forgotten why I started using linux. 9x was a pile of dogshit in comparison. I get an unexplainable crash or freeze every 5-6 hours. I'd forgotten the little waving flashlight animation in explorer.

I'm currently not investing stock and AMD is down to 1.67$ per stock. However, I don't feel this is AMD's fault.

I've been browsing the web and checking stock news articles. It appears to me that AMD's stock is being manipulated by these so called articles.

I feel we as a community should file an active complaint against these news sites. Get the SEC on these sites for manipulating such an easy stock as AMD.

Yes I'm aware AMD is struggling, but it's getting from a few ends it doesn't need it. NVidia or Intel can't be manipulated because they are not in a position or even affordable to manipulate at this point. What I'm seeing is that these sites are buying stock while AMD is down and telling people that it's going to jump up so many people buy stock raising it's value. Then Motley Fools' example trades sell even when it's only a quarter high. They're capable of doing this all day. Reaping money from inexperienced investors and AMD itself. It's periodic stock inflation and deflation throughout the day represents that.

http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml

It's highly illegal for these actions to occur. Let's stop it!

i remember when i was in high school we had a LAN party and someone brought a six pack of canned air for the express purpose of shooting the refridgerent at each other


after we depleted a couple cans we started getting headaches and had to open the windows to ventilate the house, lol
i've never bought a can of air because yolo but a few summers ago my dad got one, used some of it and gave me the rest for some reason

idk what actual gas it used but it was covered in DANGER HIGHLY FLAMMABLE DO NOT USE ON LIVE ELECTRONICS OR INDOORS

is that a normal thing for canned air or is my dad just an idiot for buying a really dumb one

i've heard of idiot americans using some convoluted setup involving hammers, nails and balloons to breathe nitrous from cream chargers, apparently sometimes even going so far as rebreathing the same air several times through the balloon because they hate their brains that much

the way i learnt from my friends was to just suck it straight from the nozzle of an empty whipped cream machine thing, a lot less loving about that way

also my intel posting rig is currently running underclocked b/c apparently stock i7 heatsinks don't work in australia or something

i was going to take it in for servicing to see if i could get any of the parts replaced under warranty but didn't at first because i just really really wanted to play whatever dumb ubisoft games i got the pc upgrade for that still played fine with the underclock, and since then i just keep forgetting to do it :effort:

spring tension on the clips of some aftermarket heat sinks was so high that they would occasionally snap the plastic tab off the cpu socket.

some places in the uk councils are moaning about all the spent nitrous cartridges that get dumped in the street. especially behind clubs.

Intel released skylark with 2 overclocking SKUs, they use more power and are a couple percent faster in benches and sometimes slower in games

if amd had any ability to execute this extended pause/end in performance
gains would be a big opportunity, but instead lol
