Swype isn't the best when you're at the bar

Swype works amazingly
I love it
But when I was at the bar last night I realized its limitation
Not only is it hard to think hard enough too swype when you're buzzed, but holding a cold beet mug really adds viscosity to your fingers and scrolling across the screen really gets tough. I had too resort to touch typing...it was torture

Drinking beets may be the bigger problem here
Maybe coat your screen with a little vaseline before going to the bar? A few beers in you won't notice the blurriness, and you'll be rewarded with super-slick swyping.
My only gripe with swype is the lack of the voice-to-text button. Combine the two, and I might never have to type on a phone again.

Imagine getting too used to using voice-to-text and starting to speak private texts out loud =p

I have to agree w/ OP. Just left Yucatan Taco Stand and after 3 margaritas its hard to show off swype. Voice recognized my slurred speech. Now off to more testing at gingermans over pints off dar beer. Good, I hope my dogs don't poop in the house!

Stop being such light weights!
Or, here is a novel idea, Drink and don't text at the bar!
I've noticed when my fingers are wet it causes issues with the touch screen, but that is a given. That is why we keep wet things away from our phones.

It takes about 1/2 a second to change the input method...problem solved

Haha. Sounds like my night lastnight... Beer fingers while getting bounced around on a Delta flight into Atlanta. Not fun, but the captivate was getting a few peaks from my fellow passengers.

[Q] Eggs; Yoak or Whites?

So what do you preffer The yoak or the Whites lol

Whats one without the other??...........
Gotta be fried, in a sandwich with as much meat as can be possibly squeezed between two slices of thick as hell white bread.........
Poached is good too
I really cant see any reason to seperate the two though
Unless your making meringues.... nobody likes a yolky pavlova
Now Im hungry for sandwiches and pavlova maybe even a pavlova sandwich

I get them sunny and eat the whites (sounds racist) and then plop the "YOLKS" (yes that would be the proper spelling) right on top of my hash browns. mmmmmm........
good day.

Runny yolks all day....use my toast to sop em up

Growing up with chickens I am ashamed to say that I like my eggs fried, but the yolks to be solid. I dont like them burned, just solid. Just past over medium. So I can eat them without having to dip anything in them. But if I go out and they end up coming runny, I also put them over my hashbrowns

Only a fool does not appreciate the full egg.

Full egg, 3 jumbo over easy, with some toast. Perfect.
BTW Brinner is the best.

I had to google for the meaning of yoak and white...
Why would anyone separate that? Unless you are baking a cake or something...
I don't know correct translation for the way I eat them, but I think it's like this:

Runny sunnyside up FTW

Yummy! She says salivating! That is naughty! Whole egg of course! With a pinch of salt. Poached, fried, scrambled with cream, ....nice!

has to be the whites.. you not only get protein (average of 6.6g per egg) but also anti cholesterol agents!
laterz..

Ok ok. So we have this bread right, it's not long but it isn't tiny. It's like a done shape, but its kinda long and we call it samoona, but I don't know what it's called in English. Anywho, you cook the eggs like a normal person, and you take a piece of samon (singular samoona) and you shatter the yolk with it and dip it in, and then you take some of the white with it, so litterally a bite sized sandwich, and ch'yeah. YUMMY!

One hand or two when playing with it?

What's everyone's usual method? Do you mainly use landscape or portrait mode when playing with your phone?
I'm 80% of the time in portrait. Just easier one handed I guess.. you?

Mines pretty big I like to use two hands either way.

I'd keep dropping it!
I have, however, asked many ladies to hold my device for me. They say it has good heft and girth, no flimsyness in the body, just a good solid feel to it. Not too big, not too small either apparently! Quite often they simply refuse to unhand it until they are finished playing.
Yeah, i love my Nexus One

I don't play with it often, but when I do, I use 1 hand. Who uses 2 hands anyway? The only problem is sticky keyboard after that. Anyone knows the solution?

put something over the keyboard, like a wrap maybe

I prefer it in to be in portrait.
And I use my one right hand, it takes skill to do it one handedly.

This is a ridiculous way of getting off topic dirty. Thread closed. Think next time.

Making a full immersion PC; need help and thoughts.

So basically my friend showed me the Reactor PC which is a watertight case with most of the components fully immersed in nonconductive fluid instead of regular closed water cooling and air systems. Even with multiple GPUs and when everything is maximum overclocked while playing intensive games the system didnt go above 70 degrees.
The problem with this little slice of awesome sauce is the big slice it'll take out of your wallet... $4500 for the base configuration! And the motherboards and such are all custom made by the company which means 1) no off the shelf upgradibility and 2) if the company goes down, well hope your happy with what you got.
To circumvent these downfalls, I had an awesome idea! Why not take a small, cheap aquarium (~12"^2), a small motherboard (MicroATX, 9.6"^2), and a few bottles of nonconductive fluid (I call it NCF for short) and make my own?
So that's where this thread comes in. I would like comments, suggestions, thoughts, ideas, etc. on this build. Everything is appreciated!
What I have planned:
Motherboard: MicroATX because a smaller board = a smaller aquarium = less NCF to buy and they still have all the functions and slots I want.​Aquarium: As close to mobo size as possible, again to save on NCF.​NCF: FluidXP+ from articmod.com ($34 / 32fl.oz.), it's made for liquid cooling systems but it claims to be as close to 0% conductivity as possible (.000000000131% the conductivity of copper, which is used to test conductivity). Also they submerged a motherboard in it for 6 hours and it ran fine during and after.​
Problems (I think) I've solved:
HDDs and DVD drives: I'll keep these out in a rack or something.​BIOS battery: Shouldn't cause problems because if there's no conductivity there's no corrosiveness right?​Fans: I'll just not plug them in so i can still have the heatsink, well, sink heat.​PSU: I'll just leave it out, mostly because i don't wanna pry it open to disable the fan.​USB, etc. ports: A couple hubs with long cords should do the trick.​
Problems I haven't solved:
Filtering the NCF: Will it be a problem in a sealed container? (I know aquariums have breather holes but that's what duct tape is for) If so would a standard fish bowl filter system be supplemental, detrimental, or useless?​Keeping NCF cool: I'm sure my setup wont be outputting a lot of heat since I'm not planning on overclocking or anything, but I'd rather not have a bowl of boiling NCF (probably wont actually boil but you get what I mean) and especially not a risk of melting the aquarium.​Making NCF/Cheaper NCFs: $34 is quite a bit for what is essentially 2 vending machine bottles of Dr. Pepper. I know it's a weird thing to buy which means it's not cheap, and it's probably worth the premium for the longevity of the system, but if anyone knows where to get a good NCF for less or how to make a reliable NCF that would be awesome.​And many more I'm sure.​
Again, all input is appreciated!

Good luck, I'd like to see where this goes.

thanks, i go home within a month i hope and im first gonna toss an old motherboard i dont care about in there first just to make sure and ill be sure to upload pics and such

Yeah, I can't help with anything but bump for the thread. I'm no hardware guy. But that sounds awesome. I want to see it when it gets done.

So why do you need to go to all this hassle??
Buy the aquarium and put some fish in it, problem solved and surely much more relaxing.
Just remember to pimp it out with a little "No Fishing" sign and one of those giant clams that opens up every now and then with a mermaid inside and blows a few bubbles.

I would actually like to see him combine the two ideas fully. If he generates enough heat from the motherboard then he could put some fish in the tank before he goes to work and by the time he gets home they would be perfectly cooked for his dinner. He could use CPU overclocking to adjust the heat, and therefore the cooking time.

hardy har-har, har-hardy har-har.
1) proof of concept
2) it would be pretty awesome to have
3) overclocking isnt a requirement for gaming
4) the internals can still get pretty hot at standard clocks
5) community benefit

I have this in mind and i will be making one but not now, maybe after 6 months or so. i will be opening my shop and i wish to keep one such pc fully submerged in liquid with rgb lights. The main goal here is to attract customers...! (so it would be a basic configuration)
i have some thoughts & ideas about it, will share it here in a day or two..

Do you have specific rules when using computer?

I am a computer science student, so I need to spend a lot of time in front of my computer. It is not a secret that my computer most of the time is my tv, and newspaper and mp3 player and so on. What I am trying to say is that I use my computer a lot and I think my eyes are very tired of that. I have dark circles under my eyes for a couple of years now and I can't get rid of them. No under-eye cream treatments work, drinking vitamins doesn't help either. Basically, the fact why I am unable to have a deep conversation with long eye contact with anyone is because all od the time I think how horrible my under-eye's look like.
So, here is the point where I would like to ask you for some information. I guess, most of the people from this forum use their computer a lot, which is perfectly fine. I would like to ask you, do you have any strict rules when using your computer? How do you make sure that you are able to, for example, write code for a long time, and make sure that your eyes are not being tortured? Maybe you have specific routine of exercises that you do every x minutes when using computer? Please, do share that information in this thread.

You can start by not using the computer for everything. Read a real newspaper, listen to songs on your phone or mp3 player and watch a real tv. Games like ingress offer you an incentive to leave the house and take in the fresh air. You should only use your computer for coding and other study/work related stuff.

I would love to watch all movies in cinema, read real newspapers and so on, but since I am a student, money is an issue for me, so I am kind of doomed to use my computer not only for work, but for media purposes too.
Thank you for mentioning ingress, I had no idea that games like these exist. Since I am not a big fan of computer games, maybe this one I will like

Take a dog (probably not because you are an student) or something else that will force you to stand up and walk

I think reading stuff on a screen is probably the worst idea. That's why I hate Ebooks. Also you could have better lighting environments. Draw those curtains and let some natural light in.

i use comp regularly... according my rule of min 3 hrs a day max 8 hrs. then watch tv for almost 3 hrs+.. all i got a bit darkness under eye and increased sensitivity to sun light. i cannot keep my eyes wide open in strong sunlight like other people i know can do...just get a properly sleep after using comp you wont have much problem

I use the computer an awful lot. (Photoshop as a job tends to require such.) I also watch most of my films on it. Reading I do from a book, my tablet or my phone. (I prefer a book, but as I read in English and live in Holland... Buying one from a shop takes about a month.) I also game. A lot.
Some background info: Dark circles under the eyes are a gathering of moisture and vat, usually caused by sleep deprivation, smoking, too many energy drinks, stress, vitamin shortage and/or allergic reactions.
Some general tips:
Sleep. That thing you're supossed to do for 6-8 hours a day. No, seriously. Try it.
Every 15-20 minutes, squeeze your eyes closed until you can feel the stress behind them fade.
Get up and do something else for a minute every once in a while. Get a cup of tea, visit the loo, grab a bite, have a smoke, doesn't matter.
Make sure the screen brightness isn't set too high. A full bright white screen can severely exhause your eyes. (and cause migraines.)
Make sure you get enough vitamin K, B6, B12, vitamin C and Iron.
Cold water/ice. All those expensive creams and all, nah. Pack some ice in a towel and put it on your (closed) eyes for about 5 minutes. Don't do this too often or too long, but it works well enough as a refresher.
Alternatively, black tea's teabag. Some old wive's remedy; just make a cuppa and put the bags on the skin below your eyes (ovbiously don't burn yourself...but they do have to be hot) You will look like a bit of a dork doing this.
