How can I find the product key for my windows 8 on this machine?
What would be the best way to download and install windows 8 for it?
The only other option is to wait "3 to 5" day for them to send me a recovery USB and I need this working before then

"Your system is running older proprietary nVidia video drivers. Steam requires driver version 304.22 or higher" is what I get when I try to run Steam on Xubuntu using my nVidia FX5500 card.
I did sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 in order to fix a bug I was having, and that seems to be the version that nvidia offered me on their website too. Does that mean I can't use steam?

I'll start, SSD's are the biggest snake-oil since HDMI.

Seriously, both get the job done and the difference is nearly unnoticeable. Not worth the massive price hike.

At all.

What kind of shaving technology does /g/ use?

I use a double edge. Lately I have been trying out new brands of blades. Feather is really nice. Just tried some Astra and cut the fuck out of my face with them. Probably the closest shave I have gotten buy damn, my skin is not tough enough for that. But damn, so fucking smooth.

Also Mug shaving soap.

Blades cost around 40 cents or less per blade and last the same length, if not longer, than those ridiculous cheese grader things they are selling these days. Shaving soap is cheap to. Not to mention its far more refreshing. I actually enjoy shaving.

How do you use earbuds with a microphone button thing as a microphone?

I've had earbuds like this for years and I never figured it out.

I searched it and found videos of people talking into headphones but they have no buttons or opening the box they come in and saying they look nice without actually using them, demonstrating them or reviewing them.

What is it for? How does it work?

How do you use it?
