can one play with boobs and SC2?

Well ask Rhyst, I play, but not very well yet.

ヽ(´▽`)/

Boobs are Terrific!

Yes they are :D

For the moment, I am only in the LIT football league. I didn't sign up in time for Basketball or Hockey this year. I may do a Baseball league if I feel inspired in the spring.


And as long as I don't get distracted by boobs! ;)

(o)(o)

unfortunately there isn't much in the way of boobs on this thread (hint, hint nerdy ladies)

I am supplying as much boob as I can! :rolleyes:

You're not bad, and you're getting a lot better.

And your boobs are a magnificent presence on this thread ;)

Edit: And your boobs look more like ( o Y o ) not (o)(o)

I'm trying! Got myself two hard mode achieves on capmaign, but the third to finish off the last achieve of the group is killing me ><

lol Thanks on both counts.
 
OMFG. I went through all the trouble of pulling out the motherboard, reseating all the cables, redoing all the cable management, putting in a new power supply, taking off the heatsink, cleaning the thermal paste off, applying new thermal paste, setting it all up, plugging everything back in to find... that the reason the computer was turning on and then turning off wasn't the power supply.

Someone had spilled something sticky on the power button and the power button was sticking to the case, so it would just turn on and then off as if you held the button down. There's no way to pull the case apart and access the power button, so now the computer is dead in the water until we can get a new case.

DAMMIT.

No way to clean around it with some alcohol and maybe a cotton swab? Guess it depends on what kind of button, but that completely bites. *hugs*

Actually, I did that just now, while waiting for my food to reheat. I actually popped off the assembly that had the power button but couldn't disconnect the button itself. So I used a q-tip and swabbed it around, then dried it with the other end. It works now. It was stupid what I had to do to pop that assembly off, and not at all obvious either.

Still annoyed that I had to do all that work and nobody told me the power button was sticky at all. I didn't notice because when I went to take a look, I turned on the power supply and the computer would just keep power cycling, so it looked like a power supply issue to me. That and the power supply warning light was coming on.
 
it sucks that you went through all that trouble just to fix something that was a problem with the power button, but better that than it being a more serious problem.

good morning to all the nerds out there

had something similar a few years ago... except it turned out to be a bent pin on the mobo learned to never let my uncle in a computer case ever again (and that was AFTER he accidentally set fire to a power supply)
 
*Waves* How is everybody today?
Anybody wants to do my statistics hand ins? I'll give you cookies in return? :D

That is a bit worse than what I did last week. I had to replace a motherboard in a laptop. So I get the thing apart , with no instructions to guide me. Then go about putting it back together. Before I its all together I test to see if it will post and it does. So at this point I figure I am home free and will be done in 15 to 20 minutes. But no it couldn't go that nicely for me. I get everything else put together on it and go to put the harddrive in and it doesn't fit. It turns out someone though the sata and power connector was an adapter and broke/took it off the board. So here I am stuck tearing this thing down again. Though at least at this point I know how to get it apart no problem.

I hate taking apart laptops. I have a broken XPS M1530. (needs a new mobo/graphics card NVIDIA chip bullshit) and a newish Studio XPS 1645 (I would never want to take this one apart)

Just to take out the harddrive in the Studio XPS you have to take off an entire panel on the comp then undo the drive. The M1530 it was just 4 screws.

M1530 had a better screen though 16:10 ratio rather than a 16:9 like is standard now days. FUCKING ASSHOLES I WANT MY 16:10 LAPTOP SCREEN! /end rant
