I get home from work the other day, and smack my keyboard with my hand as per usual, waking my computer up from its 8 hour nap. I toss my keys on the desk and my vid card fan goes to 100%, my display doesn't initialize and in a panic I flick the power off on my PSU. Shit.
Turns out my voltage regulators are fucked and my computer won't post unless I squeeze the rear of the card (where the VRMs are) against the main heatsink, bending the pcb. In GPU-Z my VDDC Phases are off, sometimes showing #1 and #3 as working fine, with #2 conspicuously absent of any reading. Sometimes #2 is working but the others are gone. When I bend the card toward the heatsink all 3 show up as normal...
Freakin' weird, man. So I got a Sapphire 6870 on the way, should materialize tuesday.- Show previous comments 3 more

Planky, get your head out of the aether: Astrology isn't real and neither are you.
It's a Radeon 4870, Exl.
I don't know a thing about reflow soldering, but it might be a cool project after I get my new card.

This is an example of the defensive stupidity you can have with what might be the typical linux user...or just these two psychos.
DISCLAIMER: I (iori) am just making up random shit here. These guys are feeding off of it.

[17:16] <iori_> tox, when you submit a wad to WIP, is it always in RED for the owner of the wad, or just when its in the approving process>
[17:18] <toxicfluff> Just for the approving process.
[17:18] <toxicfluff> It took 2 days for my wad to get up there.
[17:18] <toxicfluff> But I did submit it on a friday or something.
[17:18] <toxicfluff> Hello, windows lover.
[17:19] * Acid1x gives tox the finger
[17:19] <toxicfluff> hehe
[17:20] <iori_> hehe
[17:20] <iori_> I love windows
[17:20] <toxicfluff> I don't have time to make a fool out of you today, I'm afraid.
[17:20] <iori_> Especially windowsME, its almost FUN to use!
[17:20] <toxicfluff> haha
[17:20] <toxicfluff> ME blows.
[17:20] <Acid1x> make a fool of me?
[17:20] <toxicfluff> I thought you were on 2k now?
[17:20] <iori_> I like the random crashes, it keeps you on edge!
[17:20] <iori_> I am on 2k
[17:21] <Acid1x> I'd say XP now sucks more then ME
[17:21] <iori_> And I just love it when windowsME decides ive spent too much time on the computer, and shuts down! YAY!
[17:21] <iori_> Now I wonder if it can cook...
[17:21] <iori_> XP is marginally better than ME
[17:21] <iori_> 2k and 98 rule them all though
[17:22] <iori_> And Linux is just MacOS with a fancy name
[17:22] <Acid1x> Fedora Core 2 owns all of them
[17:22] <Acid1x> what?
[17:22] <iori_> look at me, I habe a mac on the PC
[17:22] <iori_> have*
[17:22] -toxicfluff- You go, me buddy :P
[17:22] <Acid1x> Linux is completely diff from mac
[17:22] <iori_> Nope
[17:22] <iori_> theyre the same
[17:22] <iori_> Like carrots and turnips
[17:22] <Acid1x> it wasnt until MacOS 10 that mac started to use Linux technology
[17:24] <iori_> No, I read in my MAC ATTACK magazine that Linux was just a cheap rip off. And franky, I believe them. They sure know their stuff
[17:24] <Acid1x> no it isnt
[17:24] <iori_> Yes, it is
[17:24] <Acid1x> mac and Linux have two completely different goals
[17:24] <Acid1x> Mac is a desktop OS
[17:24] <Acid1x> Linux is for server and programming professionals
[17:24] <iori_> Macs have the power of a small nuke in every tower, so says 'mac attack'
[17:24] <Acid1x> they cant be different
[17:25] -toxicfluff- MAC ATTACK ahahaah, you rule.
[17:25] <Acid1x> G5s are overrated
[17:25] <Acid1x> the Athlon 64 FX-53 is just if not more powerful
[17:25] <toxicfluff> Programming professionals.
[17:25] <toxicfluff> pah
[17:25] <iori_> Well macs treat their users like royalty, and come bundled with AOL! Sweet Deal!
[17:25] <iori_> I love the 24 hour tech support
[17:25] <iori_> because when I didnt know how to print my essay, Tech Support was there!
[17:25] <iori_> I love them to bits
[17:26] <iori_> Seriously, If it wasnt for AOL, the internet would be a mystery to EVERYONE
[17:26] <iori_> AOL opened the doors, and made all things possible. Theyre almost like God!
[17:27] -> -toxicfluff- I think hes tired of it.
[17:27] -> -toxicfluff- Too bad, I was having fun
[17:27]* crazyman has joined #legacy
[17:27] <crazyman> hey mofos
[17:27] <iori_> and who art thou?
[17:27] <Acid1x> mac is not a rip off of Linux
[17:27] <Acid1x> period
[17:27] <iori_> Yes it is!
[17:28] <Acid1x> err other way around
[17:28] <toxicfluff> Exactly
[17:28] <toxicfluff> It isn't a rip off.
[17:28] <toxicfluff> Freudian slip.
[17:28] <iori_> Macs came before linux
[17:28] <Acid1x> Linux and Mac are two different OS with two different goals
[17:28] <Acid1x> Linux came out before windows
[17:28] <iori_> Quicktime, AOL, macs have it all
[17:28] <Acid1x> so did DOS 5.0
[17:28] <crazyman> wow whats the argument in here
[17:28] <Acid1x> they are ripped off of Linux too then?
[17:28] <iori_> Dos 5..is that like windows 2 or something>
[17:29] <Acid1x> well these idiots think Linux ripped mac off
[17:29] -toxicfluff- Honestly, he is proof against his own arguments.
[17:29] <crazyman> lol dos 5
[17:29] <Acid1x> no its not
[17:29] <crazyman> lol your dumb iori
[17:29] <Acid1x> lol
[17:29] <iori_> ..IM NOT DUMB
[17:29] <crazyman> LOL
[17:29] <crazyman> this is funny guys
[17:29] <Acid1x> Windows and DOS are two different OSs
[17:29] -toxicfluff- I mean, that there is no dumb linux users. Heh, programming professionals and server stuff.
[17:29] <crazyman> yea
[17:29] <iori_> No theyre not
[17:29] <crazyman> completley different
[17:29] <Acid1x> and Windows didn become an OS until like 2000
[17:29] -toxicfluff- He's too dumb to even realise he's being led on for the SECOND time.]
[17:29] <Acid1x> because it ran out of dos
[17:29] <iori_> and MacOS is better than linux, and linux 3 as well
[17:29] <crazyman> wtf
[17:30] <crazyman> linux 3?!
[17:30] <iori_> My friend has linux 3
[17:30] <crazyman> you have no fucking clue what your takling about
[17:30] <iori_> he said so
[17:30] <Acid1x> I can feel the stupidity
[17:30] <crazyman> dude do yourself a favor and stfu
[17:30] <Acid1x> Linux 3 doesnt exist yet
[17:30] <iori_> My friend works in a library. HE KNOWS THIS STUFF

[17:30] <crazyman> winblows Xetra Penis addition
[17:31] -toxicfluff- Ok, keep going heh. But tell me when you're ready to tell them what dumb cunts they are, so I can join in.

[17:33] -toxicfluff- I bet crazyman is just an anonymous friend acid1x brought in
[17:33] <crazyman> dos was complete shit you moron
[17:34] <Acid1x> its only ability was executing programs
[17:34] <Demis> I think windows rules.
[17:34] <Acid1x> and if you know anything about OSs thats pretty weak
[17:34] <Demis> linux is just for dumbasses and retards
[17:34] <iori_> Anyways, my aunt had windows3.1 on her computer, and she had AOL. It ran perfectly. She even ordered flowers for her husband ONLINE! BEAT THAT LINUX, INC!
[17:34] <crazyman> no
[17:34] <crazyman> linux is for hackers and other SMART people who like choices

Albeit sad, that has to be one of my more humourous IRC chats.
Its kinda cool that in 20 minutes 2 people can get so religeously defensive about an OS. WTF is this world coming to.
