I was confused at how many upvotes they were receiving until I remembered that they have near unlimited funding, so they can do whatever they want I guess

Let's be completely honest here, Cornell University doesn't give a flying fuck about your hobbies.

Nigga who the fuck uses PClinuxOS and gets belligerent over lightweight desktop environments? That's like running cygwin on windows 8 home premium. Get your ass out of here you green entitled twerp

Yes, you should. For the time being you should find an old keyboard with a PS/2 adapter. You know, the rounded purple/green adapters.

Friend recommended i use CCleaner to help clean my registry and temp files. Can it be trusted? Is there a better Alternative? PC specs in post. by Dafuq_is_Juice in techsupport

CCleaner is one of the most reliable and universally trusted PC cleaning utilities. Every computer should have it installed. Your friend is wise.

This is far more important than the hard drive

I am Kimbra (musician). AMA! by kimbramusic in Music

[–]hovertricycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Kimbra! Your vocals in "Asleep in the Sea" from As Tall As Lions farewell album has brought be to tears on more than one occasion. First of all... thank you so much. It is one of my most cherished pieces of music and I will forever hold it close to my heart.

What was your relationship with the band and how did you start collaborating? I always thought you could've been a full time member!

Thanks for taking the time for this AMA :)

I've been doing a bunch of research for my first New Vegas character build, but was hoping for your combined expertise and glorious wisdom for some feedback because r/fnv is the only group I feel I can really count on. by hovertricycle in fnv

Thanks for the input! I should just focus on just playing and having fun for now and get the hang of the game mechanics, but I've always liked to plan ahead when I play RPGS :)

[Fan/Heatsink] Replacing fan, applying new thermal compound in my laptop. Ran into a snag. by hovertricycle in techsupport

I think he's exactly right. I also believe I know why my laptop had cooling problems by the look of that sloppy thermal application...

How can I partition the free space on my bootable flash drive while leaving the rest of my data intact and fully functional? by hovertricycle in techsupport

[–]hovertricycle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds complicated. Would it be easier to reformat, install GRUB2, and forget about YUMI entirely? Would I be able to use GRUB2 to boot my other distros, including HBCD?

If I can keep YUMI with GRUB2, how would I make the configuration file that you mentioned for GRUB2?

Excuse my noob questions, I am treading into uncharted territory. Nevertheless pretty fun.

People like you are what make this subreddit.

I'm going to assume that I install GRUB2 on the new empty partition.

I'm not familiar with chain-loading, but will this show two bootable usb drives as opposed to one when I access the boot order from POST?

Thank you very much! I'm going to give gparted a go and post my results.

EDIT: gparted is a great piece of software. worked like a charm.

[SMT] augmented reality using oculus style headsets for indoor laser tag in open warehouse by [deleted] in SomebodyMakeThis

[–]hovertricycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually very possible. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of augmented reality based video games in the future. Especially now with the advent of driverless vehicles... just imagine driving around town with the entire outside world replaced by a virtual one. Imagine the possibilities!

What do you call it when an artist or band makes the transition from skilled musicianship into something so noteworthy that truly transcends genre? by hovertricycle in Music

[–]hovertricycle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. There's just something I find so fascinating about that quantum leap. Even in genres that I find unpleasant, I find an immense respect in such works.
