He registered a couple months in advance, kinda odd behavior for a spambot ain't it? It's probably just some poor bastard waiting for the value of his money to be cut in half by the massive inflation we're about to run into. I'd be pissed too if I had any to devalue. :)
You bond socially while watching a movie? I already know I'm weird, but when I'm watching a movie for the first time, being aware of people around me means it's not worth watching...
If logistics are realistically employed, all you need to counter the killer stack is a proper morale system. When everyone is running away from something, standing your ground is much harder. A massive army of the best troops is so many dead bodies if they break because everyone else breaks. Break one unit, and the battle could be over. Careful use and positioning will then be more important than sheer power, the killer stack of doom could end up costi
Anthony, you confuse the point of a virtual machine. Dual booting gives you one or the other, not both at the same time. You use a virtual machine when you need two machines at the same time. In a perfect world with 16 gigs of ram to play with, you could run a Windows Server with an Oracle database, a clean workstation with your run time development environment, another clean workstation with a compiled testing environment, all on the same system you play games on and litter
Which point would you like, I can come up with dozens. I'll start with this; ice extent is irrelevant because our minuscule record of it says absolutely nothing. So it goes poof and reappears every year, what's to say it wasn't doing the same thing fifty years ago? We started measuring it when people were spelling doom by ice age, remember? The seventies were cold. Of course, his point is probably that scientists are morons just like the rest of
That would be another argument with one rational side and one irrational side. Exterminating people that insist on behaving like animals just doesn't feel right! Arguing with the same idiots over bullshit backed by myth is getting old.
Still in beta, and already clothing discussions degenerate to perversion! We're all going to hell.
While n is supposed to be a massive performance boost over g, that's not your problem. 54Mbits, that's the theoretical bandwidth for 802.11g, in practice it's closer to half that, but unless you guys are downloading around 3MB/s, you're not getting saturation. Browsing and playing games are marginal uses. If the MMO is being played on a cable connected desktop, that limitation is entirely irrelevant. Your router is probably crapping out or set up wrong
Digital camera be just fine. It's film that gets fucked by X-ray machines. Electronics don't care about the piddling stuff at security checkpoints. You need massive radiation to do any thing at all to them. While running, maybe you could corrupt some information in transit if it's one of the more powerful scanners, but even that is more of a better safe than sorry precaution than a likely problem. My suspicion is that the radiation emissions woul
A hell yes on both the throttle control and scheduling suggestions. I have to stay up all bleeding night to get anything large off Impulse. :( I'm practically nocturnal in an attempt to take advantage of the free period Hughesnet has overnight, Hulu in particular has destroyed my sleep schedule.
You guys are bastards. I just couldn't resist picking up the DOW expansion... 4.2 gigs. On my daily capped satellite connection...
I love all the comments over the show turning into a soap opera. BSG started out more of a soap opera than the actual soaps were. They had one hell of an emotionally fubar'd cast from day one. Just because none of you have mothers that watched ABC's big three religiously during the eighties, doesn't make the show anything but a soap. :)
Well... at least one of you got it... Typical shelf life on a major release is a few months. In a specialty shop they can stick around a lot longer, by specialty I mean places besides Walmart. Bestbuy for instance keeps them around much much longer than they do, it's mostly dependant on shelf space. The last time I was in a CompUSA, they had at least two years worth of the big ones. A lot of flash in the pan releases dont even make it a week at W
DDT is an example of the difference between moron politicians and sensible individuals. Instead of making it a restricted chemical with limited use, they banned it entirely. It's an outstanding bug spray, it's just not the kind of spray you should be using for crop dusting the entire continent. Dursban is another good one, the perfect spray for killing off wasp infestation in outdoor shops and warehouses. Just spray a bit around, close up, come back la
I'm using one of their old SOHO file server cases still., side exhaust, latch released panel, four external 5.25 bays, two external 3.5 bays, four internal, with room for another three drive cage underneath, and E-ATX, plenty of room for even the biggest mobo.
I'd just like to point out something hilarious posted by pidgeonhole, that graph showing CO2 concentrations over 400k years, it cracks me up every time some retard does it. Ice Age Cycles. Ok, so maybe it's not funny as much as it is scary, but since I wont actually be alive for the next ice age I guess I just don't give a shit. :)
Proper setting of mouse sensitivity gives you full screen range without moving your arm. :) I occasionally pick it up during gaming, but I never even move my arm typically, it's all in the wrist and fingers, from top to bottom of the screen is achieved by arching my hand, from left to right by rotating my wrist, when running dual monitors I get all the way across them still.
Read it, see nothing disagreeable. As far as I know, a meteorology degree isn't required for the operation of a camera, plotting charts from data, or running a website. Perhaps I'm wrong. That's only one of the links I posted as well, but you knew that, didn't you?
Yeah, open facings on a case are fucking retarded in a monumental way, no matter how much air flow they get. The heatsinks will be plugged solid inside a month, at which point you can put a wind tunnel turbine on top of the thing and you'll bend the fins before you get your cpu's to cool from air flow to any useful degree. Real case designs have all the fans set for exhaust with the intake ventilation filtered with at least a pinhole sheetmetal design, if not an a
VAT is bad. Hidden tax systems are what let congress spend money like crazy. When you can't see how much the thieves are stealing from you to build roads through their undeveloped real estate, it doesn't bother you as much. That will lead to even more complacency than we have now. It also hoses certain types of industry in a cataclysmic way. When you're selling items with huge work related costs and minimal resource related costs, you're fucked.
If they run it like they did GC2, form is free, function costs money. You won't have to worry about having a functional building that looks like crap because you can make it look good without spending extra and ruining your effectiveness. Although I have to admit, some of the lasers were so fugly it hurt to put them on good looking ships...
Ignorance is easy to fix on your own you know, you could say... do a google search? Unreported alternative cause for some of that rapid melting you were talking about. Which, by the way, was replaced at a similar rate. Antarctica has been steadily increasing in size since the late 70's. It's just shy of the size it was in the early seventies, you know, right be
Or we could look at reality. The oceans have cooled off in recent years so much that the sharks are fishing on the shores, and our record high temperatures that likely never existed are a product of our limited, eroneous view being warped by faulty sensor equipment that hasn't been maintained. Antarctica is expanding. The Earth is cooling, even the crazies are starting to replace "Global Warming" with the new buzz words. Everyone get ready for "Climate
My dad uses four occasionally, his typical setup is three though, one large flatpanel on each side of his high def notebook, 5760x1080 is a nice amount of real estate for debugging. I'm not real interested in having the actual game span multiple screens, but having it not fuckup when you try to put it onto a secondary would be very nice. Games that don't have the mouse locked when in full screen are seriously hosed too. It's fucking awesome
The sales tax is a point of sale tax. You are not buying something in your home state, it's dishonesty to tax them. The sales tax from the retailers point of origin on the other hand is an entirely logical addition to the price. That's not happening because they're terrified of taxing locally. When your tax base can theoretically do business from space, you have to treat them fair or they'll use that near limitless mobility and leave your ass holding the bag. &
