It's true.* I abuse my computer.* I... also never turn it off
   for weeks or months at a time... AND it's a laptop... plugged in
   always,* I keep it on a back porch.* It can't get rained on...
   but... well... it gets hot and cold and humid - not much
   protection from the weather at all. But to be fair, I stay with
   it as much as possible and I give PLENTY of encouragement.* I
   never get mad.* I'm very nice and I think it is happy to work
   hard and feel productive. Oh, I don't know it's name.* I...
   never... gave it a name... I don't even know its gender...*
   wow... I just never thought to check... Pardon me, I know
   perfectly well what overclocking is.* I have destroyed a
   perfectly expensive PC overclocking once.* I do not wish to
   repeat that. :P is quite correct, outside of the overclocking
   comment :P - I save my resources for processing rather than
   appearance.* I use minimal resources for appearance, which gives
   every single computer I run the look of Windows95. It's not that
   I like the look of Win95, I just don't care what it looks like
   :P There's "show", and then there's "go" - and I like my
   computer to go as fast as it possibly can, as efficiently as
   they can. The java processes?* I was rendering 10 Minecraft
   Worlds simultaneously, converting 96GB total of Region files
   into 42,000+ 512x512 PNG files, thank you very much :P* Took 24
   hrs total but it did it.* Now I have to assemble the pieces. and
   the ancient Snipping Tool is unbelievably useful, low resource
   and free.* You should see what I use for my main video/audio
   capturer:

   I also type in Notepad or Notepad++, use ancient Office 2000
   apps for raw speed [only using newer versions when I have to] -
   Libreoffice/Openoffice handles the newer stuff - for images, I
   use Paint.NET - the closest thing to Windows Paint I could find
   - for most things - ImageJ/Fuji for gigantic images (its a
   biomedical tool for brain slices and chemistry but it's
   universal) - and ImageMagick is handy for short projects - and
   my main video editor? Windows Movie Maker..* Yes.* WMM,
   converting to MP4 with Handbrake.* So primitive. [I have ffmpeg,
   VLC for fancier stuff]* Audacity is my sound editor, although I
   really love the new thing that Sony I think came out with [or
   maybe adobe] that auto selects harmonics but I'm too cheap. In
   short, if you want me to turn ANYTHING into ANYTHING, I can do
   it. === yeah overclocking.* I've made computers smoke before.
   Overclocking isn't hard to do; and usually you get a tiny bit of
   wiggle room to do a little overclocking.* [they purposely
   underpower computers a little - it makes them tougher] - but if
   you decide to go too far... well... you'd better have LOTS of
   extra fans in the computer and an extra-beefy power supply.
   Consider water-cooling too.* I made a water-cooling setup once.*
   Copper pipe running around the CPU and video card with a little
   fishing pond pump in a bowl of water with ice and water in it.
   [I'm not really a "laptop guy" - I'm a BIG OPEN TOWER kinda
   guy.* But I like to force myself to "work with less" and "make
   it do more".* It forces me to get creative.* It also keeps the
   screwdriver out of my hand :P ] === From an ancient Resume: :P*
   [the years don't matter - computers are still put together
   exactly the same way :P Boring really.* I keep waiting for a
   change] :) === D&F discount computers entry here === My boss,
   his wife + 3 kids (and dog) and the technicians who worked under
   me made a mess :P Doritos and Mountain Dew everywhere. My boss
   ended up getting sued by Microsoft for installing illegal copies
   of Windows on computers, but thankfully I was gone by then.*
   Before he ran the store, he helped launch a satellite into space
   in his previous job, which was pretty cool.
