In this thread (which will be pinned in the Epic Threads forum when I create it) you can nominate threads for the forum.

Staff will determine if a thread can be moved there, and a link will accompany the thread from where it was moved from. A sizeable member vote can also determine this, but staff can veto a vote if it doesn't fit the category (to avoid dumb posts being voted in).

My first nomination is an introduction thread: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1153110-i-love-the-red-line-for-spelling-mistakes-but/

Hopefully this forum will make for some future Epic and enjoyable threads.

Rules for participation:

  • The topic may not be overly NSFW, and so this rules out The Random Pics thread which is purposely located in a members only area
  • Threads that contain personally identifiable information on the OP (or where the OP works) and are posted in members only areas (such as The Soapbox) will not be considered
  • Images in the OP must be working and appear in the thread
  • Subject to change by staff

My first nomination is an introduction thread: http://www.neowin.ne...g-mistakes-but/

I... I don't even know what to say. :huh:

Anyway, here's my nomination: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1150934-is-the-mall-a-good-place-to-meet-women/

How to clean feces (YES, FECES) off a motherboard

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/386168-how-to-clean-feces-yes-feces-off-a-motherboard/

Well, I just bought my ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe from NewEgg. I had it laying on the floor (on an antistatic bag) ready to install into my computer. I left to go to the garage to work on something and when I came back (10 minutes) I see my baby cousin butt naked taking a dump on my new motherboard. The turd had fallen. I got rid of the solid pieces with rubber gloves, but there is still tons and tons of smears on it. How might one go about cleaning this off? I am definately not going to use it how it is, and returning it to NewEgg is out of the question as they will surely say no.

:angry: I HATE TODDLERS! :angry:

Edit: My god, my room stinks like ****....

The thread has been removed from the public eye (for good reason I suspect), and the member in question is now called 'A. Destroyer'.

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
