    $799 LG 34GK950F-B 34" 21:9 WQHD 144Hz FreeSync2 - Amazon

    https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0798Q8KG4/ I've been eyeing this monitor recently and it's back down to $799 on Amazon. 3rd party seller but fulfilled by Amazon so looks like it's covered by Amazon's free return policy? Any predictions for Black Friday deals on this or similar ultrawides or is...

    Time for an overdue upgrade

Current specs to give an idea of where I'm coming from: - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz - 4x 1GB sticks of CORSAIR XMS3 DHX DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600...

    Possible hardware issue, need assistance

    This has been driving me absolutely crazy for quite some time (too long for me to remember when so I can't recall any specific changes). Very randomly with varying frequency (from never in a day to twice within 30 minutes) my system completely freezes without BSODing. That is to say, the...

    just changed my kernel boot logo

    i know this is just a silly little thing but i found it worth while. i managed to change the default 80x80 pixel image of tux that shows up right when the kernel starts loading. i changed it to a picture of my cat. basically, what you need to do is open up the gimp and create an 80x80 image...

    curly vs. straight quotes

    ok, this kinda annoys me. it all started when i was copying faculty bios from my college's old math dept. site to the new site and i realized that most of them probably made their bios in word and emailed them to the guy in charge before me and he just copied and pasted and added html. that's...

    [h] Cms
