Most geeks don't get enough sun, I have the answer to the problem of how to get pasty faced geeks out under the big shiny thing.
LAN Party In The Park!
Sunshine, a couple of generators, some wireless gear, and a lot of beer would do it.
Somehow I don't think it would ever happen though
with all the monitor glare? you're mad!Originally Posted by GDVS

don't be silly, no one would turn up till it was dark!
but now i do like the idea of a hexus meet up at hyde, laptops, big ad-hoc network, some battlefield, or mabye some starcraft
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
ZOMG ZERG RUSH!!!!
ahem...yer that does actually sound pretty good. But your right no one would turn up.
lol sounds alright to me, a few cans, a barbie and some good games.
Last summer gameon LAN we went to we spent most the night out in the sun beering it up and making drunken fools of ourselves.
Then there was ACON5 before that - Again beer + sun + gamers = Uttoxeter race course fun. Ahh this was the time we kept beeping the carhorn @ Matt and annoying him
Practical-wise - Lanning in the sun would be rubbish due to monitor glare as hexxeh has said, plus the fact that all the sugary drinks would attract bees, wasps and other nasties is also a no-no. Then theres the people that clock the hell out of their shuttles and have exhaust air coming out at 100 degrees.
These folks PC's wouldn't last 3 mins in the sunshine. They are usually the first at a LAN to remove the panels as the airflows hot, and then they spend all weekend with the case off trying to get it running and resort to clocking back a little bit.
Are you crazy i don't want my presscott reaching 60*C, i would rather sit in my room with the curtains shut and some LN2.
Oh god no, I can't do with damaging my fragile skin
Heheh, it does sound fun though... all the bee's getting stuck in the fans on our rigs...
As directhex said though.. the sun glare, would be a bit of an arse.
im very supprised that some of you are think of risking your rigs outside.
Who needs a main rig for a drunken Worms mutilation fest?
dont like sun
weat polarising glases to take the glare off lol
Just don't use a TFT and make any funny head movements
its all fun and games, untill a squirrel chews a power cable
In Britain, with the inevitable rain after 10 minutes...perhaps, but X2's and GTX's are so cheap to replace these days anyway.....
Interesting....bringing your own well trained squirrel could give you a competitive edge in that respect....*goes to find squirrel*its all fun and games, untill a squirrel chews a power cable
Dust filters = bee filters mate
