Spanks,

What makes sense about Reape's avatar?

[Klocknov]

dark I would say the avatar would suit you better but you go beyond that point.

[darkjedi]

What is this 'point' beyond which I go?

[vuzedome]

You usually hit more targets then intended to.
Hey, that's a good thing!

[Reape]

I'm still not quite sure how is my avatar supposed to look like it needed something.

[darkjedi]

You lack sleep, Reape.

[Reape]

Nope. I just slept for 10 hours.

[vuzedome]

The avatar... looks like you need some love, boy love! Here, let me give you a hug, I'll do it just like how I usually do it to my little brother.

Alright, someone seriously needs to get get those coreavc devs to update, the recent x264 build is shredding coreavc and mpchc's own video decoder.
Though not surprisingly ffdshow is doing fine.

[Xanthic]

Or best e-fun, atleast.

TRUE! i believe last time i was smashed with Xanthic and had to hold the wall to get to my bed. oh and i was playing a killer game of chess until he told me "no dale that isnt your queen, thats your king.. checkmate"  

stfu xanthic! THE WHOLE GAME I WAS PLAYING IT LIKE IT WAS THE QUEEN

I was just as drunk, but I still rocked you at chess.

I just bought a 1.5TB WD Green. Although I got the old, 4 platter version (model WD15EADS - 00R6B0). Fuck. Well, it was the last place which had these drives. From 3 I found, one wasn't getting new stock anymore (they told me it was because some new tax or something like that), in other they were expensive as hell and the last one had 2 in stock (now only 1 ). I hope it doesn't brick with all the anime inside... /me hides under the bed

I love all the people who are coming out to go "Whaa whaa whaaa, I can download faster than I can seed and its your fault that I downloaded 200gb without uploading!"

[Spanks]

After 4 years I think my laptop is at the end of its days. It's getting slow in everything it does and keeps BSOD. Though I think the BSOD is being caused by to many torrent connection.

It still didn't start on fire but it takes ages to format. It's been nearly 2 hours and it's up to only 33%. Is it normal for it to take so long? I didn't select the "quick format" option. Should I turned it on? xD

Depends on the computer it's installed in,
The WD green is a slow drive, if it's also in a slow computer (or in a USB caddy)  then sure, it'll take a long time to do a full format.

[kureshii]

If you're doing a full reformat, then yeah it would definitely take a long time to format and overwrite 1.5TB of blank data... quick format would have sufficed.

[vuzedome]

So if WD green is slow, how about blue?

It's connected by Sata2, the PC is a Q6600, Asus P5Q-E with 4GB DDR2 800 =/

Crap, well it's at 86% now. Almost there. I'll remember that for the next HDD, if it's new => quick format.

The Greens are at 5400 RPM, they are the slowest but consume less power and are more silent. Ideal for storage. The Blacks are the best performers but more expensive, power consuming and noisy. The Blues are all around, they are standard 7200 RPM drives, faster than the Greens but slower than the Blacks.
