« on: March 15, 2015, 10:49:29 PM »

Code: [Select]

package test
{
function fxDTSBrick::onRemove(%this)
{
if(%this.isPlanted())
{
%dbrick = %this.getDownBrick(0);
echo(%dbrick.getDataBlock());

}

parent::onRemove(%this);
}
};
When I use getDownBrick it returns null. If anyone can help me out with this more would be nice.

If people being invested in bitcoins means there won't be any drastic price change why did it drop from $950 to $260. Bitcoins are awful at using for anything long term.

I would rather have my money in pesos than bitcoin. God I would even rather have it in rubels.

Yes, it's the cash money. Take into account that pesos (like USD) are fiat money and their value is managed by the government. To give you an idea, in the beggining of 2014, the Ars:USD rate was 5.5:1. Now, it's 16:1.

lol bitcoins price did worse. At the start of 2014 it was about $950 USD now it's $265

This is why we should be using pipelines. The crude oil from fracking and the tar sands are more likely to explode than normal crude oil making transporting it by rail pretty dangerous.

Vice actually did a video on why transporting this new crude oil by rails is pretty dangerous. It's a bit over dramatic but I think it still shows why it's an awful idea.

Couldn't say, but if you can find a powerful gaming laptop or workstation (which almost always) then there's a good chance it uses MXM rather than just being soldered to the board.
This is a GTX 660M for example.

and here's an image of a laptop that has the MXM card easily accessible.

though the companies will probably try to hide it so that you buy their next laptop instead of just upgrading your current one.

Can you buy a mobile GPU without it being torn out of another laptop?

some company called clevo or sagar or something?

You can't change out the parts on either of those. They just have a ton of models you can order with a lot of options.

Most gaming laptops fallible today do infact let you swap out the graphics card with a standard type of PCI-E.

Like which ones? I don't know of any laptops that let you change the anything besides the ram and hdd's.

IIRC, msi IS making a laptop that allows you to upgrade the video card too, along with making it easy to change the ram and storage.

They're making a laptop that lets  you use a docking station to use a discrete GPU. Other companies are working on making a box you can hook up with thunderbolt and it lets you use another gpu which is pretty cool.

If I'm stuffing 8 hard drives into a case, I would buy a case with more suitable airflow options for the drives such as larger in take fans situated on the front to cast air over the drives to dissipate heat.

People cram 6 drives in that without a problem and it only has 1 fan. The NZXT 210 has a bunch of fan mounts I can use if heat is really a problem. Also not all the disks will be spun up all the time so it's not that huge of a problem.

I have an earlier version of this case and it does exactly this. Also space for up to 9 3.5" drives.
...I also paid a lot less for the earlier version one. You might need to look around if you want a non-ridiculous price.

I'm not looking for a case that looks anything like that. I want something super simple with room for 8 3.5" drives, nothing more nothing less. This is also pretty much the cheapest option.

That's my new build I'm thinking of. It got a bit more expensive because of the stuff to make it fit 8 drives but it'll last if I plan to add another 4 drives at some point so it's worth it.

3TB seems to be the sweetspot right now. A green should be alright for media and stuff, I wouldn't want to run programs off of it really. So it's probably the best.
