New computer!

Bigger screen, feels good man. :thumbsup:
It's a lot of work getting a computer set up though. Need to copy all my files, install programs, get rid of shitware etc.
The plan is:
*Get everything set up how I like it.
*Wipe my old pc's hard drive.
*Copy the disk image from this new 160gb 5200rpm drive to my old 500gb 7200rpm seagate (8 thousand hours on it so far).
*Party hard

Or here.
And in case you don't have an installation DVD.
I thought you said computer.
There's probably a lot of crapware on it though. Even if you uninstall it, your registry will still be compromised because of it.
DID YOU SAY WINDOWS XP???
I really don't understand why anybody would want to use that buggy, leaky POS OS on a new computer.
"Ooh, but it's sooooo light"
True dat, it's a decade old and made to run on computers with 128 MB RAM. Why don't you use DOS? That's even lighter, and it's also completely useless.
"But it does everything I want it do do!"
It can't even burn a friggin CD without needing a third party application. All security features in the Windows NT kernel are turned off in Windows XP. Hibernation is hidden because it doesn't work. Power management? Try power mismanagement. No such thing as user account control or defense against keyloggers. It's full of known unpatched exploits. It does not support the newest internet explorer (not that I use IE that much, but when microsoft won't even bother porting it's web browser to XP anymore I think it's time to let it go). It has no support for the newest hardware, and nobody is going to bother writing a driver.
Windows XP is like the 98 year old grandma who has died of a heart attack several times but is reanimated and gets a new pacemaker every single time because the fools in this world don't realise it's time to let her go.

Lies, it supports native burning. Besides, I haven't touched a cd in 2 years anyway.

Firefox + Noscript + Adblock + Flashblock ftw.

My ass it doesn't, I just used it last night.

Asus super hybrid engine does a fantastic job.

UAC is fucking annoying, and I'm competent enough to browse the web safely.

Big whoop. I hate IE.

Ain't gonna be putting a PCIe card in a netbook anytime soon.

lol
I want to know also, which netbook did you get.
I have an Acer Asspire One D250, it kicks ass for what it is, I can play WoW on this thing. 8-10 hours battery life, small, light.
I am also running Debian though, windows is for teh fags.
OOOOoooh.
You should upgrade.
See the other thread I just made.
Doesn't make it good.
What you should do is run Linux on it.
I will make you the same deal I made my wife. (she got a new one for xmas)
Interested?
