Smoke on the water. . .

No, Swarmy, this isn't about you, but you'll appreciate it. ArcSin, Trid, Axis - you guys will -love- it.



So, you may recall the Omaha Steaks delivery. This means two things: good fucking cow, and dry ice.

You know what came next.



Yes, those are tootsie pops holding the dry ice above the air intakes on my watercooling radiator. Booyah! [spiffy, but not uber efficient - under 100% load, my cpu temp dropped from 102 to 94F, and all the way down to 85F at idle.]

Swarmy = damn near computer illiterate.

I'm a programmer, but I work on a mainframe system using COBOL. Same shit my mother did at my age. I use a PC at work, but I couldn't fool a 12 year old about my PC knowledge. Hell, I can't make McAfee stop with the goddamn "an upgrade is available" pop-ups on my new PC. I thought security software was supposed to STOP evil annoying crap like that - not ADD to it!

grrrrrrrrr......

actually, the original post title was "Smog Chow" - I neglected to modify the body after I changed it.

For MacAfee: Right click the Red M, go to Updates, and click configure. There's an option there to disable automatic updates. The caveat being that you need to remember to update your shit once a month or whatever. [and, yes, i'm fully aware there was an update today. heh]
