Why haven't you switched to uBlock yet, anon?
There's a Firefox version now.

Man that logo takes me back...

That logo, such good times.
Ducken nukem, doom, full throttle and glorious other point and clic games .....
Why hasn't been any good game since then.
Mass effect was ok, but thats it
What extensions do you use for Firefox?
clearly, google reverse image search, noscript, ublock
ABP (I know, I know, I'll check out uBlock today) and Google Analytics Opt-Out. The second could be a complete placebo for all I'd know, but I figured it's worth the hope.
extensions.adblockplus.subscriptions_exceptionscheckbox
Toggle this in ABP and you get rid of the checkbox. It's basically ABE but you can enjoy being on the "official" version.
Or switch to µBlock…

Hi /g/, which do you have? 8GB or 16GB RAM?
Which do you prefer?
good rhetorical question.
Of course 16 GB are better, but I have 8 coz poorfag
>>46699937
4GB, but I prefer 64MB
I prefer 24 gb because why the hell aren't you running 3 distros of leenix and osx all on one computer with windows holding all it together.
>Windows is insecure
>GNU/Linux master race
>OSX has no viruses
Meanwhile in reality... Pic related is an overview of last year's data.

How many hard drives can you fit in your case, /g/?
Using the bays? 5
Haphazardly throwing them in? Dozens
>>46702901
How do you power them, though? Even SATA power cables with multiple connections are hard as fuck to position for different drives.
1x 3.5
1x 2.5

First for how do I get my x60's touch screen to function in Arch Linux?
does anyone know if there is an older thinkpad model that has a slider you have to slide to open it? like when you close it, it locks into place and you have to move the slider on the front to open it again, does this exist?
>>46703531
My t420 has that
Likely most other models
The title may be a bit confusing... but how do you convince someone that their technology problem isn't a result of a particular action that they may have performed etc.
For example, A user at the office I work in believes that when she brought her laptop into work(her own personal laptop) and connected to our WiFi, her computer contracted a virus. Its a particularly nasty virus called cryptolocker I think. It encrypts all the data on the hard drive and then attempts to scare the user into paying some fuck head in brazil or some shit.
Anyway, long story short.....

Counter sue. She brought an infected machine to your office and put your office at risk.
>1981
>not using terminal front-ends
office drones today are morons
>>46695332
You explain how wi-fi works and start to slightly blame her, to then blame her fully.

So /g/, I always wondered "What is the cheapest yet fairly reliable PC build you can make that you can later upgrade to a entry-level gaming one?"
So I've come up with $200 pic related build. Only 120GB HDD, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 300W PSU, 2-core CPU @ 3.2GHz and 128-shader GPU @ 720MHz, WiFi USB dongle, micro atx case/motherboard - the minimum I think that should be allowed for a PC. However the cool thing is that since this is a FM2+ MB it means it is backward compatible with FM2 so you can get all the bang for your buck or a little bit more performance+efficiency...

>price conscious
If you want to spend 150 on gpu, get R7 270. Much better.
>>46690449
>Anti static wristband
>not 5 more dollars into anything else
>>46690590
Problem is the PSU is only 300W so the R7 270, hell even the 260 might not be compatible because of the connectors. I'm very sure the GTX 750 Ti is compatible with a 300W PSU because 2 friends have exactly that kind of build.
Will 2015 be the year of the Windows Phone?
No
Stop shilling.
Sure, also year of leenux desktop
>>46685374

sorry
