Here is the first desktop I built from scratch (back in 2009) and which is still my main machine. Currently the specs are:

I went to a school for a while that had a uniform but there were still ways for students to distinguish themselves. The brand of the blazer, dress shirt, shoes, ties, or other clothes they wore, who untucked their shirts or rolled skirts, all of those may be much more subtle and tame but there was still the…

I had my copy of Window 7 from 2009 to 2012 and the only reason I did a fresh install was to replace my boot drive for an ssd. Otherwise everything was still fine.

I shift+delete myself but there are certain programs that only place files into the recycling bin. This way I can see and delete them immediately without the recycling bin being on my desktop.

Looks like someone needs to download minibin right? :)

Would disabling gpu acceleration in chrome:flags fix that?

I was finally able to sign up. Time to test it while writing the last paper of the semester!

Thanks but it still isn't working for me. Perhaps there's just too much traffic right now?

Didn't work for me and I tried Chrome, IE, and Firefox. :(

Thank you, this is the best comment I've read all day. As a technology lover, I appreciate the intricacies of guns and their design, I do wish that in a perfect world there would be no need for them, and I acknowledge the fact that we do not live in such perfection and that (to me) a compromise that allows some guns…

I remember the first flash drive I got, it was 256MB and I was so happy I didn't have to use floppies or even CS's to move school files around.

Here's the patent for the magazine the P90 uses, it's a rather neat mechanism.

Funny, I bought that exact mill and the aeropress (not the aluminum filter though) before heading off to college. You can make a pretty good cup of coffee, but at least for me, the time to grind the beans seemed rather excessive and I eventually went and bought an electric burr grinder. (Though that does undermine the…

I can't guarantee it will work but I have had upgrade keys work directly when installing windows 8 (using this method that works with Windows 7 http://www.mydigitallife.info/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media-and-product-key-on-formatted-or-empty-blank-hard-drive/) but what you can also do is install windows 8…

I just upgraded my desktop over the summer with an ssd, more ram, and a new cooler.

College internet connection ftw. Is your connection always that good? Mine is like that on off-peak hours only. The rest of the time everybody on campus saturates the connection. :P
