Bloodsport laptop failure

Sadly tonight, while playing ac, my laptop screen started going pink, then totally died. Unless I can sort something out, I might be down to iPhone access only and no ac for sometime. Gaaaaah!

blah .....somebody mail him one of ther old pc's lol

OMG blood that sucks balls haha i could've sent u an old pc i had before i got this 1 but i sold it lol

BLOOOOOODYYYYYY NOOOO.

Seriously that sucks sooo much, hopefully you'll get a new one soon.

Does that mean this who Thorite thing is going down the drain?

go to the apple store and get it replaced ;p you have an apple right?
pink is rather odd.. I could say red is normal, for a pc that is, even green and purple are able, but then they don't crash.. the screen's just wacky coloured..

When my laptop broke is had lines of greenish/blue. Luckily it was still under warranty

It is a rather over-worked HP Compaq. Luckily it is still under 3 year warranty, but it could take a while to convince them to replace it (something like the 5th time its broken). I will try to get an external screen prior to that so I can get on with nailing thorite. Nobody escapes the wrath of bloodsport

I now have an external screen connected so I have the server running again and hopefully should be ok with AC, but I will be gone again for a while once I get HP to agree to repair or replace the laptop.

ok did this affect the video u are sending in please pm me it if ur done

and yet you still think linux kicks ass... sucks to be you :-(

Yaya Blooodster, That mean you can keep working on THorite?

I've been working on the videos all evening. I've got all the clips I want now, but I still need to work out how to compress them down to a reasonable size without losing all detail, get them hosted somewhere and write the descriptions. Probably another day or so.

download a programm.. can't be hard.. i only need music compressions so I can't help with that..
what size is it atm?

just upload it on youtube or don't, embed it on the site..

Have you tried you AC out yet, is it workable on your new screen?

emm yeah ReSeEs is right.Blood wtf 5 times? what kind of laptop you bought anyway!

AC is workable, but because of the size/position difference, my aim is a bit off and I can't judge knifing distance so well.

The laptop isn't so bad, it's a HP 6910p. The problem is that I run pattern recognition experiments on it 24 hours a day, every day. This puts rather a lot of strain on the fan (gets clogged up with dust), which in turn causes everything else to get a little bit too hot. Also, the power adapter tends to die occasionally and deliver a nasty power surge.

Kimisa: Yes, it is simple enough, but it all takes time. The video files are currently around 10-20 meg each so I need to re-encode them in a better format, but without introducing too many lossy-compression artifacts.

I am well aware of that, but the human eye can only handle 78 fps, suggesting you can lower easily to 25, then run a lossless and everything should do fine.

The video is currently running at 10 fps. It is the compression type and parameters I need to experiment with.
