The Boredom Thread

Also, the CD I used for that PII-laptop will always use some 500 MB.

I also bet you (that is Collision) haven’t tested your assumption properly, i.e.: same XP CD, same PC but install XP (always select the same options) on a partition which size you vary and see how much space it takes. You’ll see it will be the same size each and every time.

When I set up my P4 next week, I’ll partition the 40GB on it to 30-10 and see how my experiment goes.

Try doing four tests. 10, 20, 30 and 40 GB partitions. Also make sure that things like compressing old files and stuff are off, or at least the same in all tests.

I’m just going to use my XP home CD and do a standard fresh install.

That’s not scientific :’(

Or do it like Freeman. Boost it to 110% 'n shit.

105%. And even then, that was within acceptable limits.

Everyone always misses that the dialogue indicates boosting it by 105%, not to 105% (that would be a pretty measly boost, after all). Technically they’re boosting it to 205%.

Yes, I always missed that :open_mouth: Damn, 205% of rated capacity is… Wow, just wow :stuck_out_tongue: I’d like to see the LHC running at 205% of rated maximum :stuck_out_tongue:

205% atomic collisions?

Are you fucking crazy.

Well yes I am, but I meant particles crashing into each other at 205% the speed they have set as maximum at the LHC =) (obviously)

How fast is the standard velocity they are using?

Dunno, pretty close to light speed, that’s for sure ^^

“Gordon, you’d better buckle up!”

“Buckle this! LUDICROUS SPEED, GO!!!”

Speaking of the Large Hadron Collider, here is a movie that features the LHC:

no shit

Is there seriously someone who didn’t know that?

relax, he’s from china.

Hey, that Viagra salesman is back.

Blue Man Group?

No. The Viagra salesman is not the Blueman group. I believe Master Chef is referring to Satan, you know, the deep voice in the Blink 182 music. From the tracks I heard on Blink 182’s album, Satan is a homosexual and he likes unicorns and poetry. He also has a relationship with Saddam Hussein if you’ve watched the South Park Movie.
