Personal computing discussed

Cooling devices are more "general purpose" noise that's more constant (and thus annoying).mattsteg wrote:morphine wrote:What makes most PC noise? That's right, cooling (which for better or worse is lumped in with overclocking)."Silencing your PC" stuff is probably better in the case forum than in the OC one.
CD drives and hard drives make a good bit of noise too.

(I'm not going to mention the times when I click on the wrong one of those and then back up and try to click on the other ) I run into similar problems if I run a query and get results I wasn't expecting (usually because I forgot to check the "Search for all terms" options) I go back, adjust the query, try to run it again, and get blocked.You know, I really tried, but I still get really annoyed with the stupid flood interval being set as high as it is. Especially when working with IE. *gah*

bhtooefr wrote:One thing that would help is if phpBB cached the egosearch, much like how vBulletin caches the subscribed threads list... that would reduce queries a LOT. But, that's more of a phpBB feature request than a TR request, and I don't know if phpBB 3 has it or not anyway.
