Yes, he can make things worse for himself...

Krookie: Yeah, the pill is killing a baby... Just like condoms. Real abortions however that are not necessary for the survival of the mother are allowed only for a few weeks (about 2 months I think) after becoming pregnant and for certain reasons. At least that's the law in my country, as far as I know. -
Even if they're not officially out yet, a chinese website broke the NDA and posted some benchmarks. Someone put them into one diagram, see this picture here. As we can see, they haven't included a 9600GT, but seeing the performance of a 3850 and knowing the 9600GT being in the same area of performance, we can conclude that they fit right between the 9500GT and 9600GT. That's a price range of $70 to $120. To make the cards attractive, ATI's partners would have to sell them for less than $90 to not make the 3850 obsolete. So I think one can speculate that for a premium of $20 (over a 9500GT), one can get twice the performance soon Probably a good choice for a gamer on a budget.

Oh man, I can't believe it... This is really bad. "Nah, you're a musilm, no treatment for you", "Infusing someone else's blood? That's immoral! Forget it!", "You 'need' the pill only to kill potential life. Not with me..." If capital G will ever have an accident and should be treated by a surgeon, this doctor should refuse. It's immoral and against any belief in humanity and all that's good in the world to let that source of disaster live. Also, it would be ironic, and that's always good -
Dark Knight. Was good imo, even the story was a bit lacking. The actors rarely let down (probably St. Ledger in the one longer interrogation scene). City isn't dark enough. Those are the only complaints. Hide and Seek. De Niro was superb The ending, though not really foreseen by me, was kind of a letdown, having seen too many evil in movies.

No surprise, doesn't look very demanding. Although... For minimum requirements, these aren't very low.

Yeah, totally... This Ascension - Mysterium (the whole album "Sever" actually)

My awful computer needs an update. Bad.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/07/0...memory-better/5 Crysis (--> min frames). Surprise... But I think other games can benefit, too, not least MMORPGs, or coming stuff. -
Hehe... How about a compromise then: Poor people trying to take their role seriously in such a situation?
-
Yeah well, not that it needs to *shrug* There's only so much you can do for IPC that reflects in games. It's about time Intel took AMD's approach concerning server processor scaling abilities. I speculate however that it's not quite as 'bad' as depicted in the article though as far as gaming speed-ups are concerned.

You did, but have I told you that there's kind of little hope for us? Living on the other side of the world and stuff? :/ Tiamat - Angel Holograms

That's the main point imo: It assumes you, the paying customer, are guilty. Only the paying customer is subject to the DRM. Those who do play it illegaly have removed the DRM and are free to play it the way they like without continuously being watched, having your system checked each time you start the game, having to stay online during play, having to fear for your hardware, having to uninstall virtual drives, cd burning software or whatnot. It actually pays in more than one way to steal a game BECAUSE of the DRM. However I think some of the Stardock "rights" are unneccessary, like this which is only a minor convenience issue, or can be an asset: remember the option to install Tombraider using only 30MB of HD-Space, because most things were loaded from CD? I liked to have that option.This here: isn't too good either. Only patches to issues are to be expected, content updates are a bonus, and nothing else. Because imo, when you buy a game, you buy it as it is, unless updates are promised in some way.With the other points though I wholehearteldy agree.

The functional approach doesn't work for love imo. For survival of humanity, f*** around would suffice, but love has too many drawbacks to be regarded as nothing but a necessary foundation of community.Also, if you view it from your "evolutionary", (sorry, but: pseudo-)scientific angle, why would you differentiate between emotion and chemicals?

Thanks, that's convienient. Oh, nice Poor teachers though :/

Ah, ok, I probably overinterpreted the description of the song in youtube I remember you mentioning that festival once. Die Krupps - The Machineries of Joy

Wait, so you already own a gaming PC (except tri-SLI)? Why does your laptop have to be one for gaming?
-
Tomorrow Never Knows is the one thing for the trippy self... Yay! Your ex looks pretty dead to me, though. Hope it wasn't you Duncan's got a slightly more stern look... Also: Single? Is their CD out ? Kellerkinder - The Cold
-
Yeah, does it have to be a laptop? Because you can get a more than decent gaming system with $1500, but only a laptop that may run your games with ok settings. If it has to be a laptop, you can look for something that has a geforce 8700m or an ati radeon hd3850 mobile or better. Processors are mostly fast enough if they're dual core at 2.2GHz or above with 2GB RAM, but the graphics "cards" are mostly jokes.

Revolver is a very cool album anyway Fields of the Nephilim - Last Exit for the Lost (Live at WGT) The climax is incomparable, after the partially disappointing beginning, this is so just an almost total relief...

I played some trials, some almost made me want to play some more, and those were: 1) Everquest II 2) Dungeons and Dragons Online They were not really "good games", but had some addictive elements. I loved gathering stuff for my collections and my appartment and crafting in EQII, also the faries were pretty, and jumping from high spots being able to sail a little was a good feeling . DnDO was slightly fun, as the quests were narrated, and I came quite far (i.e. Level 2 ) with my rogue. Both didn't seem to force you into a guild or party. Both didn't last over the trial stage however, as I have better things, among them games, to do with my time.

Thanks Walsingham, now I must not bother with the chemical guy "oh look, nice weather!" "bah, it's just some electrical signals transmitted from this cluster of chemical components that are constituting your eye to the cluster of chemical components that your brain consists of via a cluster of chemicals that are your nerves, that are causing chemicals to be emitted that cause chemicals to cause chemicals to cause the chemicals your mouth consists of to produce sound waves by modifying the air exhaled by contracting your lung which consists of chemicals and whose contraction is caused by chemicals emitted by that cluster of chemicals that is your brain that..." Anyway. I now don't have to write this conversation to the end, because you did it in a far more efficient way. Thanks again

Whew, finally back to where my heart and soul - as far as music and certain magic feelings are concerned - currently (and forever?) lies: Fields of the Nephilim - And there will your heart be also (whole elizium album actually)
