    And it begins...

    The chip itself doesn't get touched just the case standing between the chip and a superior cool. Aside from voiding the warranty (which overclocking manually does anyway) it's safe for the chip. I was mostly joking about lapping now anyway but if you eventually get bit by the OC bug it's a...

    Need a digital camera

    ^ this. For $500 you can get two small digi cams that fit in your pocket and if one breaks there's a backup. If you want to blow 4G on a great camera get a Nikon. I don't know if this is still true in the digital age but when everything was 35mm most Nat'l Geo photographers would have Nikons...

    EvE

    I lost a sweet ship earlier because some war targets were fleet-boosting (juking stats on) some blingbling spaceships in a trade hub. Cunts. Nobody fights fair in EvE, nobody!

    Laptops

    HAHAHA that's so awesome! But yea if laptop has 4GB of RAM just install XP and if hardware is failing I'd look at the HDD first cuz them bitches don't like G-force and portable devices get a lot of that.

    And it begins...

    depends on how solid the contact is between the chip itself and the IHS. Apparently Ivy Bridge has been really shitty about it which is why IHS removal and lapping the top and base leads to good improvement. See here for pics of shoddy Intel workmanship. On my old C2D I was already way past...

    EvE

    Missioning and autopiloting through high-sec is the boring way to play the game. People who want to semi-AFK grind just end up mining. Again, EvE is not a solo game. The learning curve is just too steep for that unless you want to spend all your game time fighting the old preprogrammed NPCs...

    might as well start voiding the warranty now by sanding the IHS down to the copper

    Laptops

    Depends on how old the laptop is. If it's some single-core business with half a gig of RAM then it's probably already running XP and sucks at it.

    Laptops

    Arch Linux is the best for that if you're patient enough to install from the command line. It just gives you the basic kernel with some utilities to start with and you have to build on that by installing the X server first (X gives you a GUI) then all you need after that is a browser package...

    Good ol Windows, forcing you to require a new laptop because just running Firefox has 4x the resource cost of doing the same thing on Linux

    EvE

    bwahaha dance, puppets, dance! that's not entirely true because the EULA allows transferrance of characters as long as they're paid for with in-game currency. a lot of players have additional accounts to be more effective and so there's a lot of buying and selling of accounts with specific...

    EvE

    yay! Well most of the appeal is that it's basically like a sandbox strategy/simulation game. The EvE universe is huge, like really, really huge. Even in the fastest ship it takes hours to cross from one end of known space to the other, and that's not even counting uncharted solar systems...

    Energy Drinks

    i'm guessing the problem is people see the small serving size and mistakenly believe that it can't contain "that much" caffeine and it's cool to just pound a few for an extra lift.

    Majority of Canadian MP's don't care about our Veterans.

    File this under "the evils of capitalism". If you can't work and you got no money then you nobody. It's worth pointing that out since many actually think socialism is just a tool to suck more money out of the working man's pocket. Yeah, as if though we don't already have that going on through...
