[QUOTE=AG;17810099]I built a Media Center about 4 months ago and havn't looked back.

Now I have a box that'll do bluray, record up to 4 channels at once (scheduled up to two weeks in advance), has 750GB of storage, and connects to the internet. Just one box.

Yeah, when they're cheaper I'm going to buy a Blu-Ray drive for my mother's computer (pending she keeps it hooked up to our living room TV) instead of a Blu-Ray player. Save me like $100. :D

If I get a nice job then I'll probably build a $600~ build and throw Ubuntu MythTV on it or something for a media center. Haven't really looked into it, but I hear it is good and it is free.

I don't have £70 x 3 though, I wish you could install w7 on multiple computers.[/QUOTE]

Know what you mean, happy I have access to my college's software for (I think) 3 years after I graduate. Got free XP w/ SP3 (my XP computers all came with SP1 or even earlier *cringe*), free Vista x64 Enterprise, and now free W7 x64 Enterprise. <3 <3 <3

It's just not good if you build your own computers to attach the install to a specific part like MOBO/CPU/etc. Stupid Microsoft... *sigh*

In my mind I'm slowly accepting the death of xp.

I didn't really accept the death of XP when Vista was out, even when I was using Vista. Don't know exactly what it is, but Windows 7 feels complete. That and it takes 2 windows updates (I think 15 updates total) to update W7. Instead of the couple of hours to update even XP w/ SP3.

vista sucks balls

i liked xp

xp ftw

though we do have 7 on the computers at school, so far 7 is alot better than vista.


and by the way, windows has the most retarded naming system ever

[i]Not[/i] to get into it, but Linux/Mac > Windows. If I wasn't a gamer I probably wouldn't even run Windows. Sadly the jump in needed hardware from XP to Vista/7 is rather large. I mean x64 W7 uses like 1.5Gb of RAM just running the stupid system. Little less, but fact of the matter is it clocks in at just under 3x what XP idles at.


I really don't see the point in having a big bad-a[size=2]s[/size]s system if you aren't a gamer or video/sound engineer who is encoding/converting video/sound files all day long. Why would I not go for the cheaper routes?


That and I think a basic W7 install is like 10Gb where as a basic Ubuntu Linux install (for example) is 78Mb.

I haven't seen that video in years, always entertained me. :lol:

So yeah, bit pissed off. 'scuse the imminent vent...... In good news, I got fairly decent exam results. In bad news -this new semester is particularly badly taught and some of the lecturers are dicks. Also a particularly useless business module has me doing a ****ton of work because the guys I'm working with in my group are useless. I ask them to research something for me so that I can collate and edit our document to hand in, and they either copy loads of random papers off the net or just send me a couple of links.

so basically I have to do this whole ****ing exercise myself. And these ****ers are going to get the share of the marks as well.

I seriously hate working in groups.

Hah, me too.

I had a group assignment where I basically volunteered to do 65+ hours of photoshop work (because the rest of them are tards that can't work msorafice, and I couldn't be arsed to write any content) and all they did was bitch and moan (as they didn't understand the amount of time it takes to shop).

Anyways - in the end we got a 75% and all of the reductions were on the content, the layout was perfecto.

Ahh well. Just do your best and show the ****ers up,

Cool sneaks,

Fortunately, even though this module is ****, it's actually structured fairly decently - we have individual interviews near the end where you can tell what went down. That'll be my time to shine :P Some fairly decent teaching for once in Newcastle Uni's EE department for a ****ing change....and it's for a useless module. Awesome.

guys, studying is boring.

tis gay indeed


downloaded a bunch of apps for my phone, ill be one of those annoying people that updates useless things with pictures on the go now... facebook/youtube/twitter 1 click uploads... awsome

I think so, but that doesn't help me.
