What have we learned from movies?

A few thoughts on cars:
You can hide behind a vehicle for as long as you want while a group of terrorists is spraying bullets with ten AKs. You feel totally safe, right? But at the exact same time, all it takes is one single 9mm or .38 spl round to trigger a massive explosion.
Then there's the driving. You can tear through backyards, farmsteads, or open-air markets, smashing through fences, hitting fire hydrants, and slamming into other cars. You can play maniac and blast through six lanes of traffic on a red light, yet somehow, even a tiny little fender bender is enough to cause that same huge explosion.
And let's be honest—is there even a real high-speed chase if a hubcap doesn't go spinning down the road on a sharp turn?

How to handle/ignore users

I honestly think it all comes down to the quota. Every user gets a specific limit on how many entries they can add to their ignore list, and it looks like 🤣 🤣
just hit theirs!

How do I delete my account from this forum??

Well, we finally sorted that issue out, and everyone walked away happy.
Where did my DMs go?

I used to keep my inbox like that for a while, but once I realized nothing was actually changing after a few months, I just hit select all and deleted everything.
Windows XP or Windows Vista?

placidmaker11 said:I honestly don't get why so many of you are hating on Windows Vista. Sure, I know it isn't necessarily an upgrade over Windows XP—it just looks a bit prettier—but man, why is everyone so obsessed with jumping ship already? 😕
It’s not like I’m totally against Windows Vista, but why would I ditch Windows XP just because Vista is the "new thing"? Why bother? My current setup works perfectly. Drivers? No issues. Software? Running smooth. Everything is exactly where it needs to be!

silverorca13 said:then you'll need Aero, but if you don't have at least 128MB of dedicated graphics memory, forget about it.
Not quite.
Integrated graphics from a 945GT chipset with just 8 MB of RAM is actually plenty to run Aero!

placidmaker11 said:So, what do you guys think? Is installing Windows Vista actually a good move?
Nope!
placidmaker11 said:And would it even run properly???
Probably would. At least, as much as Windows Vista can actually handle without choking!

Hey, maybe tone down the intensity a bit? Cut back on the caps lock and let's try to keep things a little more civil.
Thanks!

It’s about 99% there, but I still haven't tracked down that blue neon light I wanted... such a bummer!
What do you guys think..!!
It would look awesome if you did something with that ATA cable going to the optical drive. Maybe zip tie it to something or just grab one of those round cables. Right now, it's totally ruining the clean look of the build.

Joe, how about you whip up some cool custom cases for those extra motherboards I've got lying around? 😬

Joseph Carter9 said:Yeah, sure, you're all talk. It’s easy to just drop a link to some custom case someone else spent hours on. I'm actually curious—what does *yours* look like? You probably have it hidden under your desk, don't you?
My case doesn't even need any PC Modding.
The black version is right here - http://www.coolermaster-europe.com/i...cker%20831
And yeah, posting a link is easy. But at least this case actually stands out! It’s unique. And even if there isn't a massive reason to do it, you've gotta give credit where it's due—if someone puts in the work to build something great, you should acknowledge that effort, right?
On the flip side, cutting a square hole in a sheet of metal, slapping in some acrylic, and screwing on two neon lights and a colored fan isn't exactly something you should be bragging about to the world.

It’s basically like taking a 1979 Chevy Nova, slapping on a cheap plastic spoiler, sticking a Kenwood decal on the back window, and hanging a tennis ball from the bumper, then calling it a muscle car. 😁

Now this is what I call a legit PC Modding project (though honestly, it looks more like something straight out of Fallout than Half-Life)

Joseph Carter9, just like gentlelynx9 mentioned earlier, you really need to do something with those cables. A plexiglass side panel and two LED lights aren't exactly groundbreaking. Since you already have a clear view of the interior, why not make it actually look like something?

Good grief, and here I was wondering how on earth Daniel Morales3 managed to edit Alex Wood40's post 🤣
I guess I shouldn't be surprised when I don't even bother checking the timestamps! 😁

Thurgood Marshall said:Just so everyone knows: Windows Media Player hasn't been my top pick for a while now because VLC Media Player totally blew it out of the water. For most common formats, you don't even need to mess around with DirectShow or ac3filter—you don't even need extra codecs since it comes with everything built-in! Plus, it handles those .flv files from YouTube clips without breaking a sweat. 👍

Seriously, though, what on earth are you even doing while you're gaming? 😁
The only thing I ever did while playing Tactical Ops was burning DVDs. One core would handle the game, and the other would just chew through the discs. Everything ran smooth as silk.
But hey, as for the default settings... I’m gonna pass on that one.

If you’ve got both hooked up, the workload will shift between them—or even hit both at once if the app is smart enough to handle dual processors—depending on how heavy the load is. But, if you set it to run on just one CPU, then that's exactly where it'll stay.

Just open up Task Manager, right-click on the process you want, and then hit "Set Affinity." Easy as that!
