    Computer speed

    One of the best ways to keep a computer running like new is to reinstall the operating system every couple of years. Yes, its a pain in the ass, yes you have to backup all of your personal files (pics, music, movies) and reinstall all of your drivers, programs once you're back up and running, but it really is well worth the time and effort. Also you can be confident that all viruses, malware, and other such goodies are completely removed. Other than RAM, hardware wise you could do a processor upgrade, but the jumps are usually pretty minimal, maybe some overclocking but you may do something not so good, or just induce instability. Even something as simple as having a cheap video card (if you're on-board) can take some of the stress off the main chip.
  5. So I heard I we were all sucking each others dicks in here. Fuck ya ! No balls no gay.
  6. More supporting evidence for euthanasia, or at the very least selective breeding.
  7. Doc is the man. Welcome old noob.
  8. I totally agree. I stretched my first lamp to well over 3 years since it was a videogame/movie/sports monitor and not an everyday TV
  9. I use a 100" inch fixed frame Carada screen and an HD projector in a dedicated theater room, with controlled lighting. I highly recommend them if you have the proper environment. For most 'living rooms' its probably not the best choice due to the relatively poor performance in even normal daytime lighting conditions. Modern projectors with high (actual not advertised) lumens will fair better, but it can't really match most other standard tv's most of the time, and generally even less at the consumer-friendly end. Lamp life is a combination of care/luck/use. For one you have to careful not to touch the glass during the installation of a lamp, you also have to hope you didn't get a fucking dud, and you can stretch your hours by using the economy mode in most projectors. In a controlled room, that's not really an issue, but you may need to run the lamp in 'high output' mode to make it more usable in less perfect conditions. Another important factor is the type of screen you are going to use, fixed, pulldown, gray, white, a sheet hung from the wall, reflective paint there are quite a few options, cheap and not so cheap, and they all have ups and downs. Decent screens that look professional are expectantly un-cheap and screen cost needs to be accounted for when shopping for a projector. The cheaper solutions available seem to work just fine, but will not provide the detail of a more expensive option. Also shooting on a blank wall looks like ass. Keep in mind as well that there are DLP's you can buy in the 65" range for about a grand. Heres a mitsu for 999.00 shipped. http://www.buy.com/prod/mitsubishi-wd-65c9-65-widescreen-1080p-dlp-hdtv-120hz/q/loc/111/212443538.html
