lease?

why would a dog need a lease?

I think he meant leash

ahh, those. The symbol of humanity's slavery of caninekind.

(unless of course, where the leash is used to keep the human from straying too far ;))

no, I meant lease as leasehold, since your dog was mine... "temporarily"

Does someone know why Gangnam Style isn't on the most viewed videos chart on YouTube? youtube.com/charts/videos_views?t=a

The number 1 has like 1/10 the views that Gangnam Style has.

um... it does for me

you sure? for me it has the 1

same ^

For me number one is Dirty Dancing.

use a private session....

that's not even on the list for me

@Ariane have you favorited like, bucketloads of videos or liked

...Don't think so.

The hell. The only way I can see Gangnam Style is if I choose the Music category, and see what happens.

wonder if it's something to do with locale

pff!

Oh no wait I can't get "all time" in music. Of course Gangnam Style isn,t necessarily the most viewed video every week

But doesn't change the illogical order.

what happens if you sign out (or use private mode) and look at it @Ariane?

Aha. Got it. I checked Worldwide instead of Canada and suddenly stuff appeared.

How can I check whether Gangnam Style is still the video with the most Likes?

ahh

@Braiam that has me more confused. You were using my ava? ;p

I was using speedfan for 775socket, using advanced graphing i could tie in every temp senced hot part to every fan that would cool it. Hours of work testing, my HD stays between 25-35C , the chipset between 40-60, the cpu between 40-60. all by juggeling what cools it with the sencor reading.

This new board has Asus "fan Expert" lol in it, every fan in the system reacts to the CPU temps only. fans are going 100% the chipset is freezing , the thing starts lifting off the ground.

All this stuff is supported now with APCI in the os, I think speed fan might NOT supprte the really new stuff. I wonder if there is any "better" software out there that would support the new stuff.

@JourneymanGeek that's the tactic, confuse you to rip you off :P

you can actually set up the fan profiles using fan expert

go poke around, its a LOT better

@JourneymanGeek i have had it do it Auto, and i have attempted to create graphing for them all. But i do not see where the "system" (chipset) or "HD" or "ambient" graphing is. Only making a graph from One shown temperature?

if you want a fixed fan speed, just set your speed profile as a flat line

@Psycogeek: I think the case fans are based off motherboard temperatures

there's no measure of ambient temperatures, there's no sensor in the PC for that

@JourneymanGeek depends on the machine

@JourneymanGeek well that would solve the problem. right now when the cpu goes hot, Every fan in the system goes ballistic , and the "system" is still at 25c

I have two case fans directly connected to the PSU

@Bob: those would have manual speed control tho?

I have those too.

I mean, I have a controller on my case I never use

@JourneymanGeek Only if you attach something inline.

If it's a controller on the case, I imagine you plug that into the PSU and the fans into the controller.

yup

so you have PSU powered fans with manual speed control

@JourneymanGeek the case itself does have a only manuel adjuster. I was thinking about keeping one fan on manuel, then cranking it manually as needed. like when gaming and the video card would like to cool more. But i ended up dropping them all on the board for automated control instead.

@JourneymanGeek Normally, it's as simple as a pot.

@Psycogeek: Mine's set to keep the fans off until it goes over 40 degrees

@Psycogeek You can get manual adjusters as front panel things.

and even then run them pretty slow

newegg.com/Controller-Panels/SubCategory/ID-11

my case fans use molex connectors -_-

ok. Why would anyone need a 2kw psu on a desktop...

no connecting that to the mobo without some kind of adaptor

@Bob: I had one of them lying around

@JourneymanGeek wat

tomshardware.com/news/…

@JourneymanGeek I have one configurations like that, but again on this stupid thing it is only reacting to the cpu getting hotter. The "auto overclocking" software is also 100% lameo compared to the sandy bridge type boards. Could be i have to wait for them to finish.

@JourneymanGeek ...great wall

I have one of those

your typical cheapo chinese psu

claims to be 80+ gold, but I don't think it's actually listed anywhere

it was cheap, though, and it works :P

at least until it blows up and fries everything...

@Bob: until recently, most of my PSUs didn't even have a rating

@JourneymanGeek what, power rating?

and they never fried anything, they just blew up after a few years and got replaced

@Bob: efficiency rating ;p

(currently, have a low-mid end coolermaster on the shared desktop,and a seasonic m12 on my own)

With the sandy bridge like 77 boards, asus put in a whole overclocking benching testing thing, that ran the whole AUTO overclocking gammut. This one you manually set something, it checkes a few things Quick, and then comes up with a terrible setting. Other people are mentioning that the Asus suiteIII is not very good. They did not say "hey its new it will get updated ?"

@JourneymanGeek as I said, mine claims to be certified

@Bob: I didn't even check ;p

@JourneymanGeek the ratings guy indicates that most of the real seasonics are pretty well done, and clean and of the power stated and all.

they were 15-20 dollar PSUs, they're clearly disposable ;p

@Psycogeek: oh, yeah, I basically didn't want to cheap out on anything with this build

my pSU is rated at 650W, but my system only draws maybe 200W under load (according ot UPS monitoring software)

I should get a smaller, better PSU :P

oh wait, it's now 200W idle and 250-300W load with that new card

D:

@Bob you mean video card?

stupid video card is only marginally better (maybe even worse) than the old one, has much higher power draw, and the fans are so freaking loud

@Psycogeek ya

@Bob: my pc makes hardly any noise at all ;p

@JourneymanGeek :(

it was barely audible with the old card

now? not-so-quietly humming in the background

@Bob: asus does pretty good cooling on their video cards

under load, sounds like a jet engine

@JourneymanGeek MSI's Twin Frozr II was good. The Twin Frozr III sucks.

;p

apparently a different fan design... that's loud as all hell

@Bob: I've owned 3 asus video cards. 2 of them were quiet. The other was passively cooled ;p

I had one of these Beasts , hanging off my video card once.

o.O

I am not going to do that again, it worked, but it still wanted a bit of fan when gaming.

eh, my stock heatsink is about that big

with two fans...

@Bob: but a lot lighter, those fins are practially tin foil ;p

I thought it was only this style , with the 6000rpm squirrel cage type fan that was obnoxiously loud and whiney.

@JourneymanGeek which one?

the one on yours look a lot like the oldstyle asus fins

VERY good for airflow, but very little thermal mass.

@JourneymanGeek On whose?

Reply to the message please :P

I'm really confused which one you're talking about..

@Bob this!

Ah.

@JourneymanGeek The cover piece on top is jsut decoration

@Bob: cowls tend to be, I mean the actual fins.

this is my current one

@Bob between the 2 Different frozers is the fan "size" the same?

@Psycogeek Hm. Not sure. I have both cards, but the other is packed away.

thats the old-school asus heatsink

When I get around to fan repair (which I'll probably announce here :P), ask me again

@Bob relative (via the pic) the hub size looks bigger to the fin lenght.

@Psycogeek the frozrii looks slightly different from mine, actually

but I think the fins got shorter in the frozr iii

the design definitely changed

> The TFIII has propeller fans, the TFII has regular shaped fan blades.

@Bob I saw they had only a Few styles where instead of the board being 11" long, they made it "taller" from the socket up. Then put on bigger fan items. I could not afford to be pickey, so i didnt get one, but i liked the idea.

whoops, did I say fins? I means fan blades shorter

Stumpy :-)

o.O

looks like a stock Intel CPU heatsink :P

that one isnt what i was talking about, but the idea

it's only two cards wide. the cards @JourneymanGeek and I posted above are about the same width

it's just shorter, that's all

@Psycogeek: those are getting more common, they're for mini itx boards

hmmm youtube.com/watch?v=r7s_XXuiYmU this yous-tube shows a guy in 2013 doing speedfan still with a newere board UEFI bios type. That might be enough hope for me to try it.

It was a sad sad day when i could no longer use motherboard monitor :-) we need proper funerals and obituaries for these things, so we can honor them, and know they are gone :-)

Here lies Office 2003, it was a good software package, but its time has come. Please pay your respects to the MS family of software on your way out.

@vedantchandra Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.

@JourneymanGeek would you happen to know why printer ink feathers so much, and soaks through the paper? :(

Is there a chat bot implemented here?

@Bob: its very thin, its designed to go in much smaller quantities, and so soaks through more

heh, my Lamy is out of ink

need to see if I can find the blue ink cart it came with

Lamy ink bottles are way better than cartridges, the ink is runnier.

But if you keep your cartridges under a hot lamp for some time, they work the same as an ink bottle

@Jason Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.

I'm looking for a low powered motherboard/cpu for virtualization computer. I currently have a intel atom 330 not virtualized which works well for the past 3 yrs but I would like to run smartos and have two virtualized machines on one computer. Does anyone know if there are similar hardware like intel's 330 atom that handles virtualization?

@Jason: I think you could get a mini ITX motherboard with a 'proper' processor like a core i3

unless you want a SBC of some sort

@vedantchandra: oh, I happen to have one lying around, just want to finish it

What's your thoughts on Atom S1200

@Jason: ooh, the atom servers?

arn't they blade only though?

IDK just ran into them by accident.

basically there's a server atom range

6 watts of power caught my attention

but for most part they're designed for high density datacenters

i3 uses 48 watts idle and 80-90 on loaw

load*

ooh

yeah, there seem to be mini itx platforms based on those atoms

tho they seem to be going for ~600 usd at the moment

forums.servethehome.com/processors-motherboards/… and supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Atom/X10/A1SAi-2750F.cfm if you're interested

ouch expensive

yeah

Also looking at Intel Celeron 847 for Atom

tho, prices may go down, they're still not common

that looks pretty nice

dual core (only), no vtd, fairly beefy memory capasity

thanks

(no one uses vt-d anyway)

@JourneymanGeek :\

how about adding some thickener? :P

@Bob: might need some experimenting

@vedantchandra eh, my carts are runny enough :P

it flows so well

@JourneymanGeek the FD works better, but it's not black enough

maybe I accidentally diluted it a bit

I'd actually try putting it in a bottle, covering the bottle with a little cling film and leaving it for a week or two for water to evaporate.

@Jason I don't recall it being that high.

Though I may be thinking more of laptop chips

@JourneymanGeek the FD or the printer ink?

@Bob: printer ink - cling film will allow evaporation

I really need to find some small bottles :\ (and why cover with a film if the goal is to evaporate?)

keeps dust out

ah

I'll have to give that a shot

the only small bottles I have are those little spray things

hey, actually... no reason they can't be used o.O

@Psycogeek Don't tell me you are so desperate that you are willing to buy videocard just to have that free game.

@Boris_yo hi. nope never bought a video card because of the free game that came with it. I am still trying to figure out morrowwind :-) from the last free item that came with the gpu .

@Psycogeek Morrowind? Is it Skyrim?

@Gowtham What does that teach us?

yes, I played some of it long ago, and it was to mentally challenging for me. They couldnt call people jimmy, and nancy, noo they gotta call them Herbidelgon, and formihjkley. Then the town names couldnt be simple like new haven, or trundle nooo, try to remember that you supposed to go to Freblijet and pick up the fluber fungus from Lenadrorikley

@Psycogeek Seems like german-nordic theme to me. Does Thor's hammer Mjolnir sound mentally challenging to you too?

i got the thor part :-)

I do like to "enter" the world of the game, but on the other hand I am not going to live it for a whole year or a life, I just want to play, till it bores me with repetition.

@Psycogeek Still Skyrim should be played regardless of that inconvenience.

@Psycogeek Skyrim gets boring and repetitive eventually? I know Morrowind does.

@Boris_yo I think that scrim :-) is rated high enough to attempt to go back into the world of things named by klingons :-) yeshsht en dolaki

@Psycogeek Why you compare it with Star Trek?

Cripes i cant even get english straight, no need to be trying to learn Elfen, unless Unicorns make a return.

@Boris_yo Alien language :-)

@Psycogeek What do you mean?

bbbeeebre zzhummnaka orticula

I watched RoboCop 3 movies in a row yesterday. 1 - watch it, 2 - watch it if you want to kill time, 3 - stay away!

@Boris_yo People like me need a universal translater, set it to moran mode and get the info in without the complications. Its like a doctor, "your metcula olimbgada is inflamed", Uhh yes doc i told you that when i came in, thanks for translating a-hole.

@Boris_yo yup robocop 3, and whats it suffer from? just like the other one, marvel superhero rediculoto disease.

@Psycogeek "Little girl takes her laptop toy to droid threatening to destroy her friends, somehow knowing where interface is, she connects her laptop to droid. On laptop appears menu looking like it is 8-bit console graphics and on menu you can see different droid commands you can choose. Little girl tells to her friends that she will make droid as friendly as puppy and types something like "friendly as puppy" into command interface. Droid joins their side telling how friendly as puppy he is."

That was the part I felt intellectually insulted.

"Girl takes control of evil robot wirelessly through her kids laptop, telling him to destroy another evil robot." - Another part I felt insulted intelligently.

Robot obviously had built in Wi-Fi router with discoverable SSID "Joe's free WiFi" and unencrypted for strangers to take control.

ahh so your seeing all the way off computerish things, normal people dont know how most of that would work, so no use in spending 10K of the 30mil budget on a expert :-)

cinema sins does an "everything wrong with" on some movies, youtube.com/watch?v=OjKEcE1mcdQ <--pitch black one you might know. It is sure to destroy any entertainment value of a movie if you begin to Think :-)

@Psycogeek Then I guess I should erase my memory about computers temporary for watching such movies to not get insulted.

@Psycogeek Cinema Sins talks too fast to interpret everything he says.

@Boris_yo (cinema sins) that way you dont think about IT much, to notice that he is also wrong about a few things sometimes

@Boris_yo Its a good thing to watch that, right after you were sitting in a movie saying "no way", "thats illogical", "how did that lead to that?" and "WTF 20 seconds ago they were . . . " and other things you shouldnt be noticing about a movie.

@Psycogeek To fuel the hate of movie to get over 9000+ and destroy every material about it?

@Boris_yo yup. like we say here, if the people didnt act reallllllly stupid in movies, they wouldnt have any action :-) now how much fun would that be?

Good morning guys!

@Overflowh whats up?

@Psycogeek Nothing much. My hard drive is slowly going to die, I should study for the exams.. te usual :D and you?

@Overflowh just customising my computer, to death. Every customisation i have ever done in Years, i want back on install. I need to quit changing stuff.

@Overflowh how is it that you determined the HD is failing?

@Psycogeek To death? o.o seems interesting

@Psycogeek Well, SMART data as much. But also the fact that after a frash new format and installing of Windows (7), it is slower than my fridge

slower than this fridge :-)

@Psycogeek Nice xD which features does it has? It vibrates when it's out of coke? xD

@Overflowh no it just orders more from amazon.

@Psycogeek Hahahaha! And if you are doing some sort of diet, it will locks and let you open it just two times per day. Should be useful

Time to vote \o/

@OliverSalzburg vote?

@Bob Big voting day today in Germany

@Bob So let's say lag is gone but I still experience intermittent drops in frames in YouTube videos.

@OliverSalzburg Ah. Have fun!

@Boris_yo is there any resolution or full screen or embedded or popped out of browser, that it seems to have more or less frame drops? Meaning grafic card speed (more res to render, lager size of video buffer), cpu speed (more interpolations occuring) issue, or disk (more data).

> what resources do I need to download all internet in an reasonable amount of time

ummmmm

Should add a new close reason — who in their right mind would do this?

@slhck including the porn? thats gonna take a while :-)

@slhck: on an adsl line.

;p

Yeah, as if that was the main issue :P

@Gowtham What a bish...

Played GTA5? Anyone here.

Nope. My PS3 is in a box at my parents' – didn't get to pick it up after moving.

lol

I don't own a console

my console crazy friend seems to love it tho

Well, I have a Mac, so I don't get to play games on a computer :P

lol

Okay, it's not that bad. I just found out I could play Half Life, for example.

@slhck: for some reason, my parents have never been fans of consoles, so I never grew up with one

and of course, we used to run our PCs until they broke too, which was a bit of a pain in the ass

@slhck Macs are actually sterling for games! It's a big misconception that you can't play games on a Mac

@vedantchandra I know, I wasn't being totally serious with my remark.

@slhck: I'm only running windows now cause of school

@JourneymanGeek My parents loved consoles.. haha. I remember, some evening when I was already in bed they finished Yoshi's Island without me knowing. I was mad pissed at them.

I may switch back to linux on at least one system once I'm done ;p

Is there any way of attaching a photo here?

@slhck: mine arn't geeky. I think it skipps a generation

@vedantchandra: click on upload?

or just link it on its own line, and let onebox do its magic

@JourneymanGeek Where?

er.. that didn't work out that well

Maybe @vedantchandra doesn't have enough rep

Anyway you can just post the link to an image and it'll expand

lol

maybe, Its not something I remember :/

Okay I'm probably being limited by noobishness/lack of reputation, I only have a send button :-/

yeah, I have send upload and clipboard

nonetheless, just post a link on its own line and send

Its a local file :-/ Doesn't matter, I shall valiantly strive for more reputation :D

@vedantchandra: upload it to the main imgur page, then link it here ;p

Thank you @JourneymanGeek!

no no noooo

Thanks a ton :)

So yeah, mac CAN be used for games

and this is just a macbook pro, way more on a 3.2 iMac

Is that a screenshot of all the games that run on a Mac?

@OliverSalzburg Ha!

:P

No, that's a screenshot of my favorite games that I have :P

anyone know of a site or two that uses those annoying link-highlight-y type ads?

lol

oh boy now I am ticked off. Message to MS "The system update readyness did NOT repair the component store, that YOUR f--king update corrupted to being with"

If i have to read one more lame MS script, after having already done everything in the script, i am going to cut off the head of a MsMPV and shove it down his throat

raymond.cc/blog/… and this? is the solution thing that "worked" for everyone, while the "ms fix nothing ever" didnt. Problem is after hundreds if not thousands of people used that method. nobody told them the "critical" update is still not installed, and whats left of it is still all over the computer.

Stuff is becomeing so bad, that people are just happy to torture the system back into operational status, and give up completly on the original idea that the update would have solved. is like "heck, just give me my computer back broken and unsecure" better than nothing.

--news.softpedia.com/news/… Updates are so badly done (well having that many alone is a problem) there is 3-4 sites now featuring a "weekly" report on what the updates screwed up this time.

Just the facts, MS themselves recomended just hiding them. :-) news.softpedia.com/news/…

--perfect time to push people into MS OS9 :-) if it wasnt for win8 also being effected by the updates .

i Would not be so irritated if i had not already had a list of 21 known updates to check out carefully before doing my meticulous time based install of the 100+ update items. The 2 stuck ones, not anywhere on my list :-( boo hoo.

I see you're having fun on your Sunday :P

@OliverSalzburg Monday now :P

@Bob We only respect UTC here ;D

@OliverSalzburg Boo!

:D

w3m ++

I use a mac full-time with Windows boot-camped, and I'm flabbergasted because every time I open windows (~once a week), it has new updates to install!

How crazy!

Windows = crazy. I find mac way easier to use. The only advantage of windows is that most applications/games are windows-only :-/

That's nice, I prefer Hurd though

;p

OS/2!

It's way easier to use!

I tried Hurd, its great, but highly unstable for me

My 'experimental' OS is Kali Linux

> Made in Austria

Don't see that every day here o.O

lol

yeah

For some reason Reaver never works with my home network.. I suppose that's a good thing :P

Why is ics tag described as iCalendar file format? Why not use .ics or even ical or icalendar for that?

@Sammy Why not?

If ics is used for questions relating to iCalendar, then what tag do you use for ICS? You know, Internet Connection Sharing?... and how come, that so many questions that have already been tagged as ics have nothing to do with iCalendar? Most of the questions tagged as ics actually are relating to ICS.

@Bob How do you deal with conflicts like that?

Sometimes, we separate them into more descriptive tags (e.g. internet-connection-sharing)

Personally, I find it weird to have tags for file formats.

@Bob Did you just create that one?

@Sammy No?

You can format any text as a tag name in chat with [tag:tag-name]

this-is-not-a-real-tag

Interesting... I didn't see that when I posted my ICS question.

I see...

@Sammy Ya, I suppose that is a more correct use of ICS.

You could always ask on Meta Super User about it, and/or suggest retagging.

I wouldn't really like having a dot in a tag name. And I agree, it's a bit silly to have tags for file format, as there are so many formats, and sometimes same file extensions are used for completely different file formats.

Hi guys!

'ello

@Overflowh Hi! Did you fix Windows 7?

@Sammy Unfortunately not. :( HDAT2 and DBAN does not work. They don't start at all, so I cannot try them..

@Overflowh They don't? What error message are you getting?

@Overflowh Did you forget to change boot order?

@Sammy Well, DBAN has a problem with Linux. When I try to boot from the DVD, it returns a black screen with an only line, saying: "ISOLINUX [...] Peter Anvil" and does not go ahead. Is the same screen that appeared some other time when I tried to boot from a corrupted Linux installation. So I assumed that the ISO is corrupted, because I tried to burn in 4 times (on a rewritable DVD).

@Sammy Yes, of course..

It always amazes me just how little space all of SU's info takes. 326 MB as of this month's data dump.

@Overflowh I understand. I think I had the same problem with DBAN.

@Overflowh You did get the DBAN ISO file from DBAN website, right?

@Sammy HDAT, instead, has a different problem, I think. I assumed that it is created to be burned only on a CD-ROM, so when I try to boot from the DVD+RW with HDAT2, it reaches the screen where asks to choose what drivers you need, but then cannot recognize the media (aka, the DVD), and does not go ahead. It leaves you with a DOS-like command line with HDAT2: A:\>, but seems to not recognize commands, neither the command exit

@Sammy Yes, right. It redirected to sourceforce, and automatically downloaded.

@Sammy I also tryed to search a non-beta version, since the one on the site says "2.2.7 Beta", but I choosed to use that, eventually.

@Bob Wow.. really high compression rate?

@Overflowh Get the System Rescue CD ISO file and burn it onto a disc.

@Sammy Does it must be burned on a cd? Or I can also burn on a DVD?

@Overflowh DVD should not be a problem, but to rule that out, if you do have a CD-RW or CD-R then burn it to that. The System Rescue CD can often be very good to have and helpful in many situations.

@Overflowh sysresccd.org/Download

@Overflowh Direct download link for "SystemRescueCd-x86-3.8.0 (420 MiB)": sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/files/sysresccd-x86/…

@Sammy Ok, thank you very much. The problem will be how to find the right tool on the SRCD to use.

@Overflowh Get the ISO file, burn it, change first boot device to CD-ROM, choice A, then DBAN.

@Overflowh Screenshots coming right up...

@Sammy Wow, seems pretty easy :) Nice to head this :)

@Sammy Floppy disk image..?

@Overflowh You will not need a floppy, or a floppy disk drive. Don't worry! :)

@Sammy Great. Never seen a laptop with a floppy disk drive :P

@Overflowh It's just the name of the menu option. I don't know why they call it like that. I'm guessing it's left like that from old days, they were too lazy to change that title.

@Overflowh It's just saying "old boring floppy programs". But they are running from CD or DVD, or even USB actually. There are version of System Rescue CD that can be used on a USB pen drive.

@Overflowh Most of those programs were originally ran from floppy disks. They need to change that title...

@Sammy Yes I red about this option this morning. But infortunately all my (2) usb pen drives are taken. One for Mint that I prefer to not mess up, and another with backups that need to be organized.

@Sammy All programs on one floppy disk? Wow..

@Overflowh OK. I don't think so, it's more likely that back in the old days you had each program on a separate floppy disk.

@Sammy Much more reasonable.

@Overflowh Like Disk 1 is for MEMTEST, Disk 2 is for NTPASSWD, Disk 3 is for GAG, Disk 4 is for DBAN, and so on.

@Overflowh Yeah, so this is more like a modern day "bundle" of several good old floppy disk programs. :)

@Sammy I hope that those floppy disk programs will work for me. :)

@Overflowh I don't see HDAT2 in there though... for HDAT2 you will have to burn a CD/DVD or maybe write it to a USB pen drive (though that's not an option now that all your USB pen drives are populated).
