Computer Discussion

What do you think? This is from the ground-up... http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/2792/1500wishlist8ip.jpg This will be my first self-bult PC, so if you have any constructive criticism (ie. I'd swap xxx out for xxx), I'd appreciate it. If you have a negative comment, don't bother.

Well in my Careers class some people found a way to get to some blocked sites by going to http://Www.archive.org then searching for a site. We got to ebaumsworld that way. But my school is so gay, that they speed up the music for everything so you cant litsen to it. We found a way around that too with a program called Audacity that the school computers had. Now were trying to break the filter, but its really hard to break. All i need is to get onto myg0t forums, then go here. I can get here using the archive site, but i cant log in cause it says that its Chat. The filter we use is Smartfilter, if anyone knows how to break it, please email me at [email protected] so …

Is it possible to write a (TFC, CS1.6, etc.) hack in C? I'm learning C right now (I'm at I/O commands), and it'd be pretty dope if I could make something (in the future) without learning C++ (after).

I made some demo's of some idiots shouting at me on their mic on CS using Fraps, but the demo's are saved as .avi or something and they have a large filesize. So, I was wondering what a good program is that I can use to convert from .avi to .mpg and also reduce filesize with not too much loss of quality? Thanks

hi, i'm new. im a bf2 rager. mhm. anyway, my school is a pile of extra steamy shit because they enjoy blocking websites, especially porn and warez sites, including myg0t.com. so here's the scoop: anyone know how i could get passed my school blocker? i don't know too much about proxies nor firewall tampering, since my school limits the access i have to the cpu. eh, thanks.

There is alot of flak bouncing around about the Audigy's being responsible for in-game stutters. I just did a system wipe, and I dunno what to do regarding my audigy 2. Should I install the stock drivers (which come with nifty utilities), then update them? Install just the updated drivers (no nifty utilities) or Take a shit on my audigy and use onboard? I just got FEAR and want it to run well.
