Oh, I didn't know you had a laptop. In that case, yes, don't use a vacuum.

Tetsu0, when vacuuming the computer it's absolutely obvious that you shouldn't stick the vacuum to the PCBs. If you don't do that, there's no danger. Also, you can use the brush adaptor.

Oh and if you happen to have a yard, you'd probably own a leaves blower. That's the fastest way you can clean the dust :).

Air cans are a waste of resources.
I admit the vacuum can be dangerous Luke, but I've been using this method for years without something bad happening.
And DiscoStu, you can't compare the economy of money and time of using a vacuum in reverse(if it has that feature) with that of a pressurized can.

That is very nice! I like how old computers are recycled and not wasted to garbage.

I don't know why people throw money on this shit when you could easily use your vacuum.
I've always used the vacuum to dust my computer(it's even better if you have a vacuum which works in reverse).

And you're currently spamming my journal.

People ignore long journals by posting tl;dr. I'd have what to post, but I am a lot of the times ignored.
When there's good material everybody shuts up, but now it's not good that there's not too much material.

[EDIT] Also, posting a couple of seconds later to my reply means you have nothing better to do :D.

"funny Youtube video that has little lasting appeal"
That video went viral.

The shoutbox is for spam&combos these days.

The capacitor committed suicide. It did not think about how this will influence the other parts.

Ok I am sorry, I just posted this because I thought it was interesting.

Well, I have photographs :\.

When I was young, before I discovered I could use a microphone to record myself at the computer, I used to record myself with a cassette player\recorder.
When I discovered "Sound Recorder" from windows, my HDD was literally full of recordings. Then when I got Audacity some time later I got bored. I think that means that imagination is stimulated by simplicity.

Oh, but those were the days... :D.

I think I plated this mod sometime in the distant past. I remember it was one of those evil mods.

You should start talking with your parents Dimbark. Don't worry about these things, you're only 11(or 12?).

And it's very bad to think about everyone as stupid in comparison to you. You will become an arrogant person. You have to accept everybody as they are.
Stop thinking of yourself as the best. You aren't.

"Well, that would have meant waiting for another week by which time I would have forgotten."

Since you have a tidy desktop you could add a folder named "Ideas" in which you would write up your ideas (notepad, images, links etc) so you won't forget them. That way, by next week, you will be able to decide which ideas are good and which aren't.

When having an idea, you can't judge your own idea in the present very well so it's better to note it down and have a look at it later.

I imagined a mod that I want to create but I said this will be a very long term project. Initially I was excited about it and I gathered lots of inspiration links, photos of the place I will be inspired to create it.
Now that I read what you've posted, I'm thinking I will change a little bit the story. If this mod ever happens to see the light of the day, that is.

You see, you just composed a perfect script(well, not really, but a story) for a video. Instead of writing up this here, you could've narrated it in a video showing examples and making it interesting.
It was a vlogging opportunity.

That's if you like to be called a vlogger :).

I have PWM pins on the Arduino :P. And it's more fun because I have total control between the pulsing delays through programming.

Ok, today I bought some transistors and I achieved what I wanted: controlling a DC motor. The only flaw is that I can not reverse it, I need some special IC for that that I couldn't find yet.

Next step: controlling my old HDD steppper motor.

This guy reminds me of a character in GTA4. It's the one always talking near your 2nd appartment( the one where you move after the first one being burned).

Also, I had a scarry encounter with a mental ill women once. She wasn't really scarry, but it was late and I was alone in a train station waiting for the train when she came at me and starting to be sad( I expected her to cry). She called me names and was desperately trying to make me remember her, and she wanted to kiss me. I was at the point of freaking out when she told me that, and when she approached me I had to push her off, in the same time feeling the smell of a 1 year old sandwich coming from her breath.

I don't know man, I felt compassion(she must have lost her son or something) but disgust in the same time.

I also visited a hospital with crazy people several times. It's like prison, with cigarettes and coffee being the main activity of those people, only it's worse. Strange smells and sad faces watching you.

No, this is not good for the economy. From what I know the capitalist economy states that there shouldn't be 2-3 big competitors that cast shadows on everything else(yet the reality proves it the other way).

I mean, come on, steam selling games AND films and music? It's just ridiculous. We clearly need separate services for that. And for music there already are popular services, I don't know about films though.

If will ever move to America, accommodating to American eating style would be the hardest to me. I am used to more natural foods, and meals made at home.
No wonder America is fat.

"Also @Atom: Cos it's fast ^_^"

Slowdowns due to ram only occur when you run so many applications that they eat up more Ram than you have. Adding more if you have sufficient is not going to increase system speed.

I highly doubt 12 gb will be useful. Do you use Adobe After Effects or something? Else, I think 8 gigs are more than enough.

That part of the money could be invested in something actually useful :P :D.

Please do not start a war on Nvidia vs Ati because it is pointless. You are not hardware reviewers.

"Most of the studios didn't reply and the ones that did said they were only interested in professionals and not graduates. "

This fucking system is the fault. It is even hard to blame it, because if I were an organization it'd be natural that myself would request professionals.

I hope you the best.

I went outside today to take a picture. Came back.

With iceblocks instead of fingers.

Yeah, it's oddly damn cold this winter. -10*C in my area. Was -17 2 nights ago.
