The 50 or so commandments Teh fun

"chipmunked"? I like this word Project Pitchfork - Orange Moon

If you have dust covers for your fans, you can easily clean them by taking them out and just brushing the dust off them, no need for an air treatment I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner that allows for this, as all I've seen personally were statically charged. Anyway, one must be careful when using any method involving air not to a) push the dust into the device like LadyCrimson said and b) not to make fans spin. b) is because if they spin, charge is generated and can damage whatever device they're connected to (motherboard or graphics card usually), and also if they spin too fast in the wrong direction it can damage the bearings.

However much I like your posts in this thread, Architect, and I do like them, I don't see how kids play a role here, being nothing short of a romance killer. Of course in the mind of many people it's romantic to "have someones children", but I've yet to see a case where they improve anything about lovelife other than staying together for the kids, which in itself hasn't much to do with romance or love but is a rather poor excuse for cowardice.

32bit is enough to address a whole 4GB. Some of 4GB RAM isn't available to user processes, because the same addresses are used for memory mapped IO and probably other stuff I currently don't think of. If the usable rest is 3.75GB or 3.25, 3.5, 3.1415926 depends on things like amount of memory on the graphics card etc. IIrc, since a certain update, Vista always says there are 4GB, even if it's the 32bit version. Lacking a copy of it, I'm not sure however

There wasn't enough critisism to be read/heard during the olympics on china, the current sport-world etc., at least not here. Some TV newsmags before the games, some minor sideremarks in newspapers... Disappointing really. They probably just felt offended because it wasn't entirely positive.

Reminds me of the NWN-Module creators "feline fuelled games"

there's a smiley, you know...

Pendulum - Granite sounds good imo. Also got me listening to Machinae Supremacy again, thanks to low tech synthie sounds Vast - Dirty Hole

Massive Attack - Risingson

A brush is good too, but it must be of a material that doesnt get statically charged.

Gorgon, regarding "asthmatically pleasing": Great! Walsingham: Clean it. Use an air-spray (can of compressed air? not sure how to call this thing in English) to get dust out of the case and all coolers (be aware though that you will have to clean your room afterwards of that fine layer of dust...) Install a fan that sucks air into the case in the front bay of your case, one at the back that blows it out again, if those aren't present yet. Consider a watercooling-solution for your cpu, mainboard and graphics card. And one more thing: While this will reduce the warmth of your components, it will not really affect the amount of heat that gets into your room because the components still change the same amount of current into heat. If you have some device that uses heat energy to change it into some other form of energy, I recommend to use that

Wow yes, the music (and funny accents) are what I remember about the game Hm, I'll have to look for a way to extract the music from that cd...

Rosbjerg: Didn't all these groups also have a different outlook on romance? And didn't they push you into the "I'm not in a group"-group, because they knew you were in other groups too? And thx for taking me into your group No, I actually think it takes a bit until someone realizes how he/she really is, and in the end this is individual, with smaller or larger parts inside a norm. The same is true for a concept like romance. There is a norm, being what a majority accepts as part of the concept. Then there's what an individual thinks is romantic, part of which is likely to be in the norm concept, but part of which is outside of it. I would be interested in that. Anyone finding going to a fastfood restaurant and sharing a doughnut is romantic? Is having birds at home and caring for them romantic? Or is it just and strictly a consensus on e.g. "sharing something" or "caring for something" that hits the romantic vein? Is only watching sunsets in the arms of the beloved romantic, or is a eating alone at home not minding the sunset while listening to the favourite band romantic too? GuardDog: Well, it's a teenie-thing that's going on right now. What I've seen from it so far: The prejudice-following Emo has an exterior compareable to some (neon) goth, (dark) punk or similar, a hairstyle compareable to Visual Kei, listens to screamy music, has self destructive tendencies because of his uncontrolled emotions, says "I'm not Emo", and calls "EMO!!!" after others while pointing with his finger, all the while being mobbed at school (there have also been progrom-like mobs chasing the teens in the street in Turkey iirc). In the end, they will grow out of it when their not youths anymore, or evolve into something serious, part of which goth has become. Then there are also those who know what emo actually is, but they're an intellectual and music savvy minority

OT, therefore in spoilertags

Woops, it's falling to the right

Just a phase? Attracted to beach bums? Man, you haven't met goth chicks [edit]Realizing you're a bit older than me, that was probably at a time where there was a youth culture that has matured since, and I only know it from that current perspective. What you met must have been members of what is called Emo today. Moatilliatta: I'm not going to point the arguments out that were already uttered, because it would be more work than I'm willing to spend. Just look for all posts that say "girls", "all", "always", "men", "one of the", "xs are y", "xs think y" etc. without saying "most of... I've met", "there was one", "some of" or more specific restrictions, explicit links to personal experience etc.

Fields of the Nephilim - Psychonaut Yeah, at that time my father thought the first time about acquiring a cd player and I was listening to kids singinging on mcd or when I felt a daring boy probably the tamer ones of the beatles' songs... on vinyl

Moatilla: It's just that imo we all should apply more critical thinking (thanks for bringing it up! THE one thing against prejudice ) before posting. Perhaps that's only because I'm online way too often currently so I expect people here to communicate the way I prefer them in RL

Correction: Boring is boring. Stupidity has a lot to do with being boring. Being nice doesn't correlate with being stupid, and not directly with being boring. Also, confidence isn't necessarily tied to arrogance. Often it's shyness that's is misinterpreted as arrogance. I can totally see that, but what do those numbers mean? Please explain :

qt: Why would an intelligent girl be interested in guys interested in dumb girls? If you think about it, the guys interested in good looking but stupid girls aren't worth it anyway, can't be taken seriously, and trusted even less. Be glad you didn't catch their attention *shrug* The generalizations in this thread, that I contibuted to as well, about "the pretty", "the dumb", "women" and "men" are beginning to make me sick. I can identify with parts of the stereotypes represented herein, and some of the conclusions and other parts of the stereotypes are so totally off that I don't recommend anyone really looking for advice and/or opinions to read this thread.

That's because looks is all she has. I wonder what the dumb and ugly girl has... Dumbness is bad for romance, because then the only thing that will be accepted as "romantic" are clich

Rotersand - Rushing (club recut) Too... clubby to listen to while surfing.

Sure, let me know when you do I always wonder how similar to their avatar people really are

I don't think you're missing out much (except me probably ). It's just a city. There are no roman ruins in it, and it isn't in the mountains. You can see mountains in the distance however, and there's a river and a lake, some kind of split old town, shopping for the rich, shopping for the alternative, way too expensive pubs and clubs.
