    Great, I'm 3 days late to the party... Also, that is definitely either a dead video card, (extremely high likelihood) or the slot the card is plugged into is dead. (unbelievably low likelihood, despite my own experience of it happening on 3 different machines)

    - Holy crap. How many tools do you have!? I have like... one screwdriver and that's it. XD

    It's a $10 kit that I got for free... Tools for computers don't cost very much at all. You should see my 12v electrical kit.

     

    - Nice looking laptop.

    Thanks, but it's not quite what I want. Next laptop (it'll be a decent gaming rig) I'm putting a custom paintjob on it. (dark grey mottled over-all with some kind of black matte design on the lid, possibly backlit)

     

    - I've taken apart my netbook and Alienware laptop before. X3 The most annoying part was putting it back together.

    But knowing how to do it is a big plus for not having to spend hundreds on taking it to a repair shop for every little thing.

     

    - I never really have the patience to be able to do this. X3 I'm also always afraid of breaking it.

    The parts in a laptop are usually built to withstand quite a beating. You'd have to be totally inept/careless, or intentionally try for it to break. Can't really help you with the patience aspect, but rest assured that swapping thermal paste on my Lenovo takes a whopping 8 minutes from power down to power on, (and it only takes 20 for the Dell) so not much patience is required after doing it the first time.

     

    Meanwhile, I have a new pet bird! :D A Consure Parrot!

    Cute bird. :)

     

    X3 Atm, she's on my shoulder eating an apple chunk. Seriously though, just yesterday she was SO unsure of me. And now, SHE WON'T GET OFF. XD

    Once they realize you aren't going to be mean, birds will stay near you indefinitely. They recognize that humans are currently at the top of the food chain, so being friends with them is good for survival.

     

    All good now. My mother helped get her off. X3 Really though, yesterday... I would hold my hand out to pet her and she'd back off, turn her back to me. Now, she'll happily hop up onto my fingers, even fly up onto my shoulder! :D

    Turing away from you is a bird's way of saying "I'm ready to leave if you do anything I don't like". They do that until they're confident you aren't going to harm or harass them.

     

    As for the hair bit, looked like it was preening you. (birds do that to people they like)

    I'm very glad you don't have a significant say in the way the country is run.

     

    Point 1: "a Business man shouldnt be running for president". They said the same about actors, yet we've had one become one of the most respected presidents in recent history. (Reagan) Businessmen shouldn't be excluded in any way, nor should any other demographic. (excluding criminals currently serving time, those with a standing warrant, or those currently on probation)

     

    Point 2: The states are separated in their current configuration for very good reasons. Initially, it was because only the people living in that area ratified a constitution that included an application to become part of the USA. Now, even among very similar states, there are significant variations in laws. (example: legalized marijuana laws) On top of that, you'd probly have mass uprising against any state consolidation.

     

    Point 3: Kicking a state like Texas and/or California out of the Union will probly make the USA drop significantly in military strength, not to mention make just about everyone hate you. Texas contributes to approximately 40% of our national oil reserves, and about 20% of our armed forces. California houses over 60% of our naval forces. You would effectively cut close to 1/3 of our military by removing/alienating them. (which is quite a blow)

     

    Point 4: Obama has done more in the past 7 years to harm this country than all other hostiles combined since the revolutionary war, why would you rather let him continue to destroy the country from within?

    Let us rebel against our fascist leaders of the US!

    Putin came up for me... Can't say I fully disagree, since I do see similarities in our personalities from other sources. (in his recent interview with 60 Minutes, I was actually cheering for him on his deflection of the questions that were obviously aimed at swaying the presidential vote next year)

    As for Lost Coast well that is self explanatory, given how fast is your pace it could take you between 1 to 3 videos to go through the entire thing, so yeah I would recommend avoiding this particular idea since it WILL get longer.

    Honestly, on my first ever playthrough of it, including the dicking around looking at the scenery, it only took me 25 min to beat... I also recently did a slow 'walk' through the game, and even delaying for an extended period still came in under 35 minutes. That puts it at either 1 really long episode, or 2 standard length episodes.

    First, make sure you use thermal grease/paste that isn't included with any part of your system. Then make sure you apply it properly. (

    )

    Recommended grease/paste: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007788%2050012826&IsNodeId=1

     

    The coolers mentioned are all quite good. I personally recommend a few others as well...

    I honestly think you could get by just fine with a fresh coating of thermal grease and the $27 Zalman cooler. Top of my suggested list for price/performance would actually be the $33 Zalman. (ZALMAN CNPS10X OPTIMA - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118099&ignorebbr=1)

    Ignore the lyrics, they're incorrect in multiple places.

     

    I hear the voices echoing around me

    Angered eyes that don't even know who I am

    Looking to kill again (They will kill again)

    As the unknown enemies surround me

    Wicked laughter resonates inside my head

    And I am filled with dread (And adrenaline)

    What did I do? Why do I deserve this?

    So we're different,

    why do I deserve to die now?

    Give my a reason why?

     

    Then it all goes a blur

    Let instinct take flight

    Find my hands on his throat

    Yet hear myself say

     

    Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

    Because it isn't in your blood

    Not a part of what you're made

    So let this be understood

    Somebody taught you how to hate

    When you live this way, you become

    Dead to everyone

     

    A father's pride, my son walking beside me

    I look around and marvel how the children play

    In perfect disarray (So innocent)

    No judgement, pure exhilaration

    Black to white, the colors aren't on their minds

    Nothing predefined (All different)

    There's always one who plants an evil seed and

    Preaches fear to pull you to the other side

    Into a world of lies

     

    Everything is unsure when you've lost your sight

    Can there still be a cure?

    What made you this way?

     

    Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

    Because it isn't in your blood

    Not a part of what you're made

    So let this be understood

    Somebody taught you how to hate

    When you live this way, you become

    Dead to everyone

     

    (You're not anyone)

    Oh

     

    Lost all innocence

    Infected and arrogant

    You burn all your life

    (There's no telling you)

    No deliverance

    Consumed by the pestilence

    Of hate, you're denied

    Deep in your heart does it still remain?

    Do you think you can bring it

    Back to life again?

    Is it still in your soul?

    (No saving you)

    Where's the deviant

    The unholy revenant

    That has made you this way?

    Made you fall for this hate

     

    Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

    Because it isn't in your blood

    Not a part of what you're made

    So let this be understood

    Somebody taught you how to hate

    When you live this way, you become

    (You become)

     

    Tell me now, who taught you how to hate?

    Because it isn't in your blood

    Not a part of what you're made

    So let this be understood

    Somebody taught you how to hate

    When you live this way, you become

    (You become)

    Dead to everyone

    (You're not anyone)

    Again...
