I once dropped my Pentium right on my motherboard socket! I was worried a pin was bent, but my I5 works flawlessly so it must not be bent enough or at all to cause an issue. I guess I won't argue against MSI's "military grade" wumbo jumbo, because it didn't break anything. The Pentium was probably 3 inches above the socket.

All the pins in the socket of any 1150 motherboard are the same. All the marketing BS about strength has to do with the PCB only.

I know I was just kidding.

 

[tiny voices]

Lol, I see now.

I am so amazed with how small the little H81 boards are.

Yes they are pretty tiny. What I'm planning is when Cannonlake comes out I am unsure if I should get an all white board like the Asus Sabertooth, or if I should go with an all-red interior to my PC. Almost like the blood of the machine.

Also, I go to doctors offices and see tons of those offices still running XP. It seems XP is still alive and strong in the medical and business world.

 

[tiny voices]

I see that a bit too. Mostly only with places where computer technology has nothing to do with my their business. My office is on 10. My GF's office is still on 7 but they are making the switch soon.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Apparently the Navy is still on Xp.. So are a half of our School Computers..

The only thing their software does is just stores boatloads of records on patients, so I guess they don't really need to upgrade. It's basically just text files galore stores in this specialized doctor program.

I was looking at my toaster oven and thought to myself... Wow, that would make one nifty mITX case.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I told you how my teacher put DSL on his toaster right? Almost... He got halfway through the installer or it finished and didn't boot up.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

You know, I just don't get how SUVs appeal to people. To me, any car looks nicer than an SUV. I totally understand for people with large families, lots of kids, or who have large luggage to pack and go on trips, but for just husband and wife, or just a single person, I don't get why people purchase an SUV instead of a car. Does anyone have an answer?

The UBS3 cable in my 300r is so stupid. It is actually 2 cables that meed RIGHT at the connector and weigh a ton. It's terrible. Screwed the pins on my old MSI board all up.

The one on the Raven is ridiculous. It's also the same two gigantic cords that meet right at the end. Only with this case, because of the small form factor, the cables are placed in the front of the case and route to the back where the motherboard is, and is so long that you have to feed it under the PSU cage because of the placement of the mass storage drive. Ugh. If I can find a picture I'll post it because that would be easier than explaining it.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Right now my USB 3.0s on my case are unfunctional since my H81 board doesn't have a USB 3.0 header.

 

[Bossyfins]

my X99 UD$ has a bent USB 3 header pin bent.

Honestly going from a minivan to a civic the next car I purchase with my own money would be a SUV for sure.

SUVs are for people that don't want to crawl into a car, need the space (be it for friends, hauling large or multiple things, camping ,etc.), and want more comfort/visibility.

I guess that's true. Though I don't consider my Accord to be uncomfortable or cramped. I have riden in a 95 Civic multiple times and will admit that it was very cramped, but there are plenty of roomy cars out there, too.

Someone I know has a Lexus RX SUV that I am in frequently, and that's actually quite nice of an SUV. I guess it's just preference.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Or one could be over 6 feet and not be able to fit in cars..
Well, extremely tall.. My head hits the roof of the Acura so.... I'm forced to slouch a bit

 

[RazerZ]

I don't either. I have a friend with a 09 accord coupe that I have rode in a good amount of times.

I just hate crouching into a car and driving at that low position. People that buy a SUV or minivan usually aren't that worried about the aesthetics as much as the practicality. Though the RX does look quite nice imo.

Has anyone ever Installed Windows on a new HDD, but left Windows on the Old HDD. Could you just delete all the Windows files and leave the data there? I feel like that would work, but with two sets of boot files...

 

[tiny voices]

Turkey, has your Accord been recalled for the oil consumption issue yet?

I personally love sitting as low to the ground as possible. If I have to fall into the car so be it. My slammed GLI put your butt about 6" off the pavement. It was an awesome feeling. Like driving a go-kart.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

The core 1100 is 20 bucks on NCIXUS... Only until wednesday...

 

[Bossyfins]

Not bad for 20$.


It seems like that going through the military would be worse. Since the military is moving towards drones and stuff, airlines would have to hire more from regular schools Log correct or no?

 

[tiny voices]

There are still TONS of military pilots around and will be for a long time. Even after the ilitary is doing drones mostly, the airlines will still STRONGLY prefer people with military experience.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

There are relatively few fighter and even fewer bomber pilots compared to the people who fly cargo planes. The combat missions are moving to drones but the people and material carriers will be flown by pilots for the foreseeable future. Even the drone pilots are trained pilots though.

 

[Bossyfins]

My plan was to get my basic certificates then get a job at a cargo airline company, rack up hours, and become more skilled to move over to another airline
