Prophet says:

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
If you ever came into the building I'm sitting in now you'd probably come in your pants.

Prophet says:

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
I've got a computer.

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
How does this differ from a computer then?

Prophet says:
yeah ? .. how many operating systems are you running ?

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
No cooling fan?

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
I'm at work. Fuck knows.

Prophet says:
the computer is that big white noisey thing on your desk .. this is a sexy little black (or brushed aluminium) box that sits under your tv .. makes no noise .. and records all your favourite programs while your out .. then when you do have time to watch tv .. there's always gonna be something on for you to watch ..

Prophet says:
plus you can pause live tv .. rewind the action .. skip the adverts ...

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
I know the garb. But.... pause live TV. I feel a misnomer hitting me repeatedly round the head.

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
This is technology used in the braodcast industry for years now making it into peoples homes...

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Once I do the BBCs technology vision course I'll be an expert at this shit.

Prophet says:
yeah ... once upon a time there was a little company called tivo .. they had a really great little product .. 5 years ahead of its time ...

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Well, I'll have heard about it.

Prophet says:
but then then sky bought it up and canned its ass cause they felt it threatend their interests

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
aye, but they stand most to gain from it.

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
and its arse, not ass.

Prophet says:
5 years on and every home in america has one and every home in england is still using vhs !

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Not me baby, I watch all my programmes off the transmission server three days BEFORE it goes to air!

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Now that's technology!

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
I'll stick to my PS2 for my home entertainment.

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Where's my blog entry then?

Prophet says:
if you have and xbox you can turn that into a pvr !

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
yeah but no decent titles to play on it

Prophet says:

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
go on then...

Prophet says:
... microsoft fucking the world over ...

Prophet says:

Prophet says:

Prophet says:
Can I not just cut and paste this conversation?

Prophet says:

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Marvelous. Two inernet related activities for the time of one.

Prophet says:
so anyways ..

Prophet says:
the most usefull thing you can do with a PC is put the HD's into caddies

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Go on...

Prophet says:
setting aside the fact that they last 10 times longer cause the live in little air cooled boxes ..

Prophet says:
BTW ..

Prophet says:
if you ever want to see a modded PC ...

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
How interesting...

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
yes?

Prophet says:
i currently have my power supply hanging out the back of the box .. and a aluminium vent porting the CPU heat exhaust via a vortex cooler straight out of the back , where the PSU used to be

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
Fascinating.

Prophet says:
thus the inside of the box is cool and all the heat goes straight out the back

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
LIke all that hot air coming out of your ARSE yes?

Prophet says:
the nvidia FX 5900 is super cooled with heatpipe supersincs .. the HD's as i said are independantly cooled with there own internal fans in the caddies ..

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
I'd love to stay and chat.

Prophet says:
AND I'M HAVING TO SHOUT OVER THE NOISE OF ALL THE BLOODY FANS I'VE GOT IN THIS THING ...

Obi Wan Yacobi says:
But I've got to go and eat my own flesh.

Prophet says:

Prophet says:
