I remapped caps lock to control, so I don't really care where the actual key is.

Weird, my G35 was working fine already. Guess I got lucky.

Is anyone else getting this weird dithering effect in shadows? It's really jarring when it happens on Geralt's face in the middle of a conversation. I'm running a 6970 with 11.5b and 1.1 patch at 2560x1600. Shadows are on ultra.

"everyone" should do all. To remove it do chmod -a "<entry>" <file>. You can see the ACL with ls -le <file>.

OSX chflags doesn't seem to have sunlnk. You can try chmod +a "<user/group> deny delete" <file>

I highly recommend the novel. It's actually quite good (Peter Watts is a fairly well known sci-fi author), unlike the usual video game adaptation trash. It doesn't explain everything but it does at least propose semi-canonical explanations.

Not really, but you should. They're both great.

11.4 preview uninstaller flashed my screen on and off while uninstalling until I just reset the system. Ran driver sweeper and installed 1.4 official and now borderlands crashes every few minutes.

I wouldn't use an 8.5 pound machine for school if you paid me, but I guess it's your prerogative. Vim, GCC, and make all work fine on OSX. I do all my development in vim (mvim to be precise, but regular command line vim works just fine too). If weight wasn't an issue I would still recommend an...

Since you mentioned weight, I'd just go with the MBP. There are plenty of other laptops that can match those specs, but I don't know of any that are as light as the MBP. A thinkpad T520 or W520 comes close, the only downside is that it comes with a workstation gpu which may or may not work well...

It would, but he wants a big screen: Maybe one of the bigger 15 inch fusion based laptops? Don't know of any with a decent resolution though...

Let me tell you about replacing the hard drive on my macbook pro. Remove 10 screws on the back Remove 2 screws holding the hard drive in Unplug hard drive and replace Screw everything back in Judging the current model based on your experience 5 years ago is stupid. That said, I'd...

I've heard good things about the HP dm1z and lenovo X120e. $400 is really pushing it, though. Something has to give in either quality or performance.

The new thinkpad x220s are coming this month. If I was going back to school I would get one hands down. My x201t was a lifesaver. Lasts all day with extended battery, light weight, built like a tank. I replaced the RAM and SSD too. Ram is one screw on the bottom, SSD just slides out the side...

Wow, that's really dumb.
