DO NOT buy a new Geforce 8800GT
You can't quantify this. The hotter, the shorter the lifespan, yes. But some chips do not care if they're getting above 100

DO NOT buy a new Geforce 8800GT
Another cool surprise (cool in temperature, not performance) for low budget gamers: The geForce 9600GSO+. While the 9600 GT and GSO offered great speed for the money, the new 9600 GSO+ is a strange breed (of evil). It has only 56% of the computing power of a 9600 GSO, but offers 60% more memory bandwith. Because the 9600 GSO wasn't limited by memory bandwith, this is a really strange move, as is calling it "GSO+", and we should expect some serious performance drops compared to the old 9600 GSO caused by the less than halfed computation speed.

ghosts
You're writing. We're trying to understand it. Semantics. Also, stating not to disbelieve is the same as belief is a rather weird semantic. What's not white is black or what? Man, why are you so keen on breaking this topic? Just because you think ghosts == rubbish, people willing to give it some more thought than you care to invest must not continue to do so? That is the case, and this should be clear to you especially as you're the one trying (not very successfully) to use the science club to beat people to silence... To deem everything impossible which you do not have a positive proof for is not scientific at all. And don't come telling us now that in this matter you don't think in terms of black and white...

ghosts
Haha Some great posts here! That is a problem. However, discoveries have been made while looking for something totally different or nothing at all. Take america for example, post-it or x-rays. So, it's not wrong to assume something, equip for that and well, do the research With ghosts there's the additional problem that most probably no one seriously considers this to be a possible source of money*, progress or whatnot, so serious research in this (or any 'paranormal') field is rare if existant at all. We can only hope for amatures to make an accidental discovery. *exceptions: tv shows, estate agents for old spook mansions

ghosts
The most believable explanation of ghost phenomena I heard so far, was the one with infra sound. It can cause all kinds of visual and audible effects due to "interpretation errors" of the brain (or is it the resonance of eyes / mid-ear that really causes it? I don't remember ) The effects are increased by the fear induced by very low noise. It would also explain why old houses, castles and dungeons are the place for ghosts, and why also non-believers can suddenly become convinced they exist (because yes, they can, I know it first hand). If ghosts were any kind of... life, then I would be strongly against trying to break them just to proof them - a typical human approach that yes, Walsingham, in my opinion is much too violent and would cause nothing but greif for all those involved: Ghosts would suffer, humans would likely be haunted or cursed or whatever, if ghosts were any kind of life similar to what is attributed to them.

What you did today
More work on the robot - got the movement phases implemented. Now it only has to move in a sensible way Currently drowning in music - the only drug I need. But oh how I need it...

TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline, READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING.
What you do is accusating a team of modders of hijacking. You suggest, no: explicitly state they are doing a criminal act. You also suggest, no: explicitly state that the do this as a means to the end of becoming famous.So to answer the final question in your post: If someone in a criminal act would bring themselves into property of my work and if this someone would do it to become famous - yes, I'd be angered and I'd be in the position to report this person to the jurisdiction. This, however, is in no shape or way the case with KOTOR2 and TG. As a consequence, I'm doing the same to you now for severe accusation of a non present party without factual evidence.

Shove off, please, you're being annoying. If you don't care, go don't caring on your own. No need to hijack this thread - make your own: "Why TG are unimportant" or something like that, so neither I nor other people who are looking forward to a release of TG's mod must bother reading your posts. Thanks. racofer: Yeah, god save your h and a keys.

trouble with disc drives
Securom trashing your optical drives maybe? Or did you install any mobo-drivers lately? (some via drivers once were known to sometimes cause trouble) Otoh, I never had to install drivers for my drives... Firmware for the burner, yes, but drivers?

New Rig
Yes it could have something to do with these settings. If the jumpers on the hdds are set, the master one has to be put at the end connector, the slave at the middle. There are really, really inexpensive DVD drives with SATA-connections.

What you did today
what? Gotta love this conversation! Went fiddling around with our robot today and found out it's easier to make it walk backwards... Now I really want to try and finally implement our ideas of more interesting gaits, with passive phases for some legs or first and mainly just alternating phases. I want to see it gallop, and bound, and walk carefully, leg by leg. This evening was spent trying to deal with depressions (not mine though, but still... *sigh*) and then some SQL/C#-timerecording application.

Has anyone ever seen a UFO?
The math isn't difficult (just look at the formula) - but knowing what applies to the kind of radar of this kind of aircraft is commendable

Will the economic crisis affect the video game industry?
Wait until some company comes up with the recession as an excuse for even more schemes to control their apparently mindless customers DRMS with constant online validation, secret driver installation and limited number of installations are just the beginning.
