If the guy cannot keep his girl without beating up on the competition he does not deserve her. She has free will and she is not a possession. Beating you up does not mean he gets to keep her. If he thinks that way he is not too far from beating up spouses/gf's as well. That behaviour merits a 911 ca...

I used to switch between ATI and nVidia until a few years ago. I am now firmly in nVidia's camp and have been for the last 2-3 years. The only reason being nVidia's support of stereoscopic displays. I hardly use it these days but every once in a while when a new game comes out I use it on my 3D disp...

AOE 3 sucks, get Civ4 instead. Orders of magnitude better

Serenity followed by Batman Begins, only 2 worthwhile movies to come out this year.

People collect things, for whatever reason that makes sense to them. Think of the guys collecting comics, plastic toys, food, body parts etc..

I had a similar thing happen, paid in full via CC at the doctors then get a note for the entire amount from a collections agency, checked CC bill to find the amount deducted from my CC? WTF? Call the doctor, they reimburse the CC! and bill me the amount again! Call them up going WTF? Tell them to ch...

Security aside, although I do use tabbed browsing on occasion, being able to block ads is my primary reason for using firefox. I prefer my applications not be intergrated into the OS. None of this integrated bloatware that M$ likes. I find it rediculous that IE is required for windows to work. It is...

I keep manuals and a terminal emulator on mine.

I get internet off cable. I am a movie junkie. I get digital cable and HDTV off the air and off cable. HBO, Showtime, Starz in HDTV. I have about a thousand DVD's and watch it all on a plasma screen (480p, it was one of the first models out) I probably will get a new TV soon. Waiting for the FED TV'...

I thought most flu's came from pigs not birds with the 1918 flu epidemic being one of the rare avian flu's that went person to person.

I prefer seperate units. Since I have had to switch out several cable modems due to failure and upgraded my wireless network a few times both at different times.

season 2 will finish broadcasting in Jan, we only got the first 1/2 of season 2.

One thing I have found rediculous is all the "fast" LCD monitors with only 1280x1024 resolution. What is the point of a 19" monitor at that resolution? I play my games at 1920x1200 resolution or 1600x1200. If I get an SLI rig it will be for going to 2560x1600 resolution gaming.

Fans of my PC. Crunch of Ritz crackers as I chew. wind thru the trees, distant sound of cars. Low flying private prop plane

I am stuck with nVidia. I have a $7K 3D display that only works with nVidia stereoscopic drivers. Playing NWN & DSII was awsome on it. Probably order a OMEN system from VoodooPC and an Apple 30" monitor soon. I think I will get it in spite of my reservations about Vista and its built in DRM.

How long before the guys growing the synthetic diamonds for electronics get crystals of that size and what would it be worth?

Usually a good idea to split your data from your windows installation. Changing the "My Documents" to link to another drive is a must. Note however that a lot of the settings for your applications are stored in your "Documents and Settings" folder. Losing your "Root" drive will still result in the l...

Its a question of love and dedication. A artist sees things differently, always looking at things and seeing what others do not. They take apart what they see/hear and put it back together in their minds and then try to reproduce that in their art. If growing up, you were facinated by music, you spe...

I would say I am not an early adopter of M$ os versions. From what I read my original budget of $10k on a new computer system and 30" monitor, for both watching movies and playing games is no longer feasible. I will probably dump my 42" plasma for a 45" LCD get an upscaler and forget about a PC upgr...

LOL! Reminds me of when I was 13 or so. My father told me to get rid of a large trail of ants alongside the roof of our house. I did not have any insecticide, so I built a flame thrower that shot a 20 ft stream of flame. I was going to use it on the trail of ants but my father stopped me after he sa...

Try underclocking your card. If that fixes the problem, its probably heat related.

I have been to the converted IU's. There is a big difference between the original FRY's and the IU's.

Oh, one thing to note. You cannot be in the Silicon Valley and not go to Fry's Electronics! The adult version of Toys R Us

I have been debating about buying a new system myself for the last couple of months. I was interested in going all out with a 30" Apple monitor, THX sound system etc.. About US$10K budget for the entire system. Total entertainment system for HiDef movies and gaming. Since I heard about M$ Vista's CR...

For food; Straits Cafe, Burlingame or SF. There is one in Palo Alto and San Jose but they are not as good.

You will need all new hardware, both GFX card and Monitor. M$ Vista requires HDCP compatible cards and monitors.

I have been pricing a new computer system, I have not replaced my computer in 2+ years, where before I had been getting a new one every 9 months or so. However given what I have been reading about the DRM in the Microsoft Vista, I am debating about putting off my purchases for another year or two. A...

Max damage for Staff is 22. Staff add-on's for +22 health and +5 Armor are pretty good. I do not think I have see higher than +5 Armor. I have about a dozen major Runes, one superior and about a dozen gold weapons sitting on one of my characters. I ran /age and it said I had played about 600 hours t...

Yup, gave up on the series a few years ago. The first book was awsome. It should have ended in book 3 or 4. Dragging it out so far has only diluted the whole series.
