It is almost surprising when a build works first time, but I've had the experience and it's wonderful :) Enjoy
-
The 'designed for Second Generation Intel Core processors' is really nothing other than a tagline. So long as the voltages are fine, and the speed is supported by the processor, any RAM should work.

This guy on youtube has some great tutorials.

I don't think so. Your biggest reason is that they want to "focus on other products." That would make sense if they wanted their current employees to migrate over to their other games, but that's not really the case. They've been hiring loads of new people to work on other games and continue to hire for RuneScape. If they were trying to kill RuneScape I don't think that would be the case.
While this is true, I'd be surprised if RS wasn't their biggest employer, so has many people working on it.
Their thirst for money is obvious, especially with the new membership points. How much more blatant can you get than that?

That's the spirit!

Seeing the first part i panicked(lol) and went to the reviews thinking it wasn't going to be compatible with my AMD processor(Completely overlooking the last part where it says it's compatible with AMD Phenom II, however that's irrelevant). Someone had posted about how it worked fine with their AMD processor, but people should check compatibility just to be sure(Something i should have done in the first place, i know. But for whatever reason i stupidly, did not). I then went to their website and found out that my Mobo isn't on the qualified motherboard list(Link to the page). Alright so first mistake, right?(If you could prove me wrong please do >.>)
RAM will still work (hopefully) if it isn't on the QVL, it just means that it hasn't been tested as it would be impractical for the motherboard manufacturers to test all RAM on their motherboards. Chances are it will work.
Second thing i do is go on the Gigabyte website and take a look at my mobo. I see this down at the bottom of the page under notes "Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB."(Link to the page). Which also strikes me as an error because i ordered a 64-bit version of windows. The only way i could see this as not being an error, is if the page is out of date and the mobo does support 64-bit.
That's a non motherboard-specific warning about 32bit windows, nothing to worry about.
The only way to find out 100% is by putting it together and trying it.

Maybe setting up a home VPN? or somehow SSH'ing into your PC? I'm not really sure.

I really don't mind people who challenge ideas and comments, so long as they do it in a mature way and not like 'hurr I am right, you are wrong. I wont listen to your arguments at all'. This isn't 4chan, it isn't really good to just totally ignore someone elses point of view.
Just generally though, someone that pushes the boundaries and brings up interesting and somewhat obscure, yet very interesting points or discussions. I especially like people with a strong point of view, so long as debating with them is not like debating with a brick wall :)

Currently doing a prime finding program in java. Brute-forcing is only so good, so I'm using the sieve of eratosthenes and doing a few efficiency tweaks. The program takes an input for the max value of any prime number (ie entering 1000000 would get you all primes under 1 million), and sieves from there. My problem is that it all must be stored in RAM, because if you start using swap it just gets incredibly slow. To generate more numbers then you need to start getting rid of some entries already in the ram (not helped at all by the fact that I can't seem to find a method of storing a boolean value in one bit only, java's "boolean" seems to take a byte). However if you start filling up the ram with more numbers (say you've sieved up to 1 milllion, but want to expand to 2 million), then you need to sieve using the primes already generated again! One thing I can do is get rid of all entries for even numbers though.
I'm not sure if that made much sense.. I don't have the code on this computer but the logic is that data about any numbers prime-ness is stored in one boolean array. The entry in the array corresponds to a number, and the true/false flag corresponds to primality. So for example, myarray[7] would be true because 7 is prime, whereas myarray[9] would be false. (yes I know java starts arrays at [0], I just make the array 1 bigger than it must be and ignore that entry.)

Nope, you just have to go to the router config page, which'll be something like 192.168.x.x, where both x's are (normally) a combination of 0, 1 and 2, eg 192.168.1.1 . It could be entirely different though, mine is 192.168.1.254. Just search your router model and then 'config page address' or something similar. Then look in an A-Z of functions, which your router should probably have, then go to DCHP management.

What type of cable are you using to connect the computer to the TV? VGA? DVI? HDMI?
Clean out, do you mean physically clean out, or get rid of all files? I presume the latter, and for this you could format the hard disk and then reinstall windows (assuming you still have the installation disk)
-
Routers usually have a web-interface, try connecting to that and look for an option to release/renew DHCP.
That works for me, anyway.
That would only change the LAN IP not WAN.
-
Oh, that's an HDMI out socket? Mine does have that, but it has a plastic thing over it. Does that mean I can't use it, then? (it's like the one in the picture you posted)
Correct
-
Are you sure its glitched? Because it could mean you forgot thermal paste or you didn't tighten the heatsink enough or something..
-
It would be really cool to interview Andrew, or maybe Paul, to see what they have to say on how RS is today.. eg bots.

Those 3D renders are astounding :o Really amazing. The only thing is the hedge looks quite 2d, but from what I understand you haven't worked much on it.
What program do you use?

Lets not go there....
Not going to school today. Sick unfortunately :( Ah well, I can catch up on some school work which is good.
School... *smug*
Under 30 days till I go back though :( It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't compulsory to do subjects such as English, which I find utterly pointless, and infuriating. I find myself over-analysing EVERYTHING because it's what you have to do in English lit >.< . When I write essays about poems/books I'm just making stuff up and talking out of my arse.

Anyone saying these riots are going on as a protest or as a way of fighting against the government are talking RUBBISH.
These riots are nothing more than thug youths out rioting for fun and profit. Smashing windows and stealing TVs. The FIRST riot which came after a peaceful protest over the death of a man shot by police stemmed from having a real purpose but right now there's nothing but mindless vandalism going on. I really hope the police throw the book at everyone arrested, this is no way to behave.
Quoted for absolute truth. There may be roots in the working class people (who make up the majority of rioters, it would seem) having little money, but that's just the way life is.
It's all good, I've seen that there are riots, but I haven't seen why. Anyone care to tell me?
Because people want free stuff.
The problem at the moment is that mass public opinion actually seems to oppose the riots. If they grow much larger, I could see them reaching a tipping point where riots against the riots start.
It can and is happening. I've seen reports of 60-70 people going round and beating up the rioters. It can't be good, but it's the police's lack of action unfortunately.

There is a beacon of hope - there is now a NDL - Nando's defence league. Sucks that they got the one near me :/ Also I'm out of the country, so kinda hoping they leave my house the hell alone.

Got a fancy new wireless mouse. So 2012.
Meh, wireless = potential lag and batteries. Each to their own I guess.
The London riots are apparently moving to down the road from me (Croydon) and gotta admit, even though I can't see anything happening yet, it's a lil scary to think a molotov could come crashing through the window for no reason.
Not gonna lie, I was on holiday when it kicked off so I don't really know why it's all happening... Probably like most of the mugs that are doing it.
To all those in and around the London area, stay safe!
Ditto. Those guys in Ealing are really not too far from me, I'm not even in the country so it's even more worrying. It infuriates me that no one knows why they're doing it and they're just doing it for the hell of. Hell, the kids don't know what they're doing, what the [bleep] do their parents think they're doing? There is a whole lack of police presence, there needs to be a massive show of force. At the moment London is a shambles, people are doing whatever they want with no police presence. The whole things is a monumental disgrace.

This is weird. On windows, my speakers on my laptop are terrible quality. On Ubuntu, I just noticed they work really well. Does the software (OS I'm using, mainly) affect the sound of speakers? I imagined it would only be hardware.
Shouldn't do, but it could be the quality of the individual sound files and how the operating system/media program handles the files. IE I think iTunes makes music quieter.

I'm ashamed to say that the 'London youth' applies to me too. The riots are appalling, unwarranted and downright ridiculous. I'm sure a vast majority of the rioters have no idea what sparked the initial riots, as they are too thick to understand, and merely want free stuff. Quote twitter "The Youth of the Middle East rise up for basic freedoms.The Youth of London rise up for a HD ready 42" Plasma TV". That quote basically sums up my thoughts - these people are everything that is wrong with this country.
Why are these riots happening?
An alleged gun trafficker was shot by the police, but now every Tom [bleep] and Harry is rioting in order to loot stuff.
thinkin bout gettin a new cpu..

What's the graphics card on your current system? I'd be willing to bet that that's where your bottleneck is, not the CPU. Personally, spending $100 on a socket that is so old seems like a bad idea.
