Convince me to upgrade.
Droid 1 (A855) on 2.2 Froyo.
Cyanogenmod can get you to 2.3.
Otherwise, if all the apps you want work, fuckit. That was the best phone I'd ever owned.

How to get sadpanda on linux FireFox?
>>53333006
Clear all history and cookies.
Go to e-hentai.org, make account, log in on the hentaiverse or something in there and THEN you go to ExHentai.
If the site sees that you're not logged in, that's when you get the sand panda.
>>53333065
Thank you.
>>53333006
Wtf is sadpanda, I see it referenced all the time

What about gimp?
This bitch keeps asking for an upgrade. Should I upgrade from Windows 7? Now, its even scheduled it for me. WTF
>>53331983
Do it, no balls.
Microsoft wants to avoid paying people to "upgrade" if you wait they will start paying you. Microsoft is desperate

Deleted my older, buggy version of Clover, and installed the newest one from FDroid. Why can't I add boards like /gif/? What do I do to add them?
It's a known bug sort of. Try restarting the app.
>>53331967
Still can't.

Compression
Ok so I've built between five and ten pc's over the years and as they age they always get noisier regardless of how well the heatsinks and fans are cleaned. I've gone as far as removing the heatsink from a gpu and caustic solution to remove oxidization and replacing thermal paste. When I put a brand new set of components together they are always nice and quiet, but in a reletively short time that seems impossible to get back to.
What's going on here? Do processors just get less efficient over time or something? Do thermal diodes? Am I developing bat-like senses?
Lube your fans up mate.
>>53330696
Do you know how fans work? They have bearings, and as the run, they get bad and rough, which makes more noise. This happens with anything that spins, especially if it's not lubricated
>>53330724
This.
What are you retarded? Fans use bearings and bearings need lube or else they grind.
In your oppinion, what programming languages offer the highest income, excluding anything IT related?

Rainmeter Thread:
Post your screenshots
Explain your design and goals
Name the skins youre using
Rate other screenshots
Suggest best skins
I'm currently only using two skins because I can't find the ones I like, that is, minimalistic, clean and simple, no clutter, no color, etc.
To the right the default illustro and to the left a skin called Simplic for the clock, since I have my taskbar on autohide.
I'm looking for more clean and minimalistic skins, anyone?

Sure there are benefits to Linux, but if you want to play games and use software on a good build, you have to admit that you can basically get everything you might want on Windows. If this guy's OS is working out to the point where he's asking about customization tips, why waste time complaining about how it's not Linux? Just leave it...
