"Christian" values? No need to get religious to describe what you mean Anyway, the logic is laughable. Because of course everyone starts out as Bill Gates with 40+ years and it's his fault when he gets poor

Both too high for my taste.

And what should they believe in? That Georgia was right with what they did? No one can be the right side here.

If it is an adhesive thermal pad, which I strongly suspect, do not apply thermal paste!

So they're making it 6 hours long. WTF? One day of fun? No buy :/ Or did I misinterpret what I read and they aim for 6 hours per level, and there will be more than one level? Or they're randomly generated on game start, including quests etc?

The new ATIs run as hot as the old x1950 The reason is that they're trying to keep the fans as quiet as possible, thus letting them spin at very low speeds. Tweaking the fan speeds or installing a third party cooler fixes this. On topic: A (probably inclomplete) list of crippled graphics cards one should avoid. The article is german, google translation should make at least the list itself intelligible.

Ladytron - Black Cat (on Sanctuary Radio )

Yeah, definitely ruining their own brand. I think the reason isn't competition, or rather indirect. They just sit on many old chips they have to get rid of, and couldn't sell it for a price they can make profit with, now they can produce less complex boards for partially damaged chips or something, and sell it for a higher price than their performance would suggest (i.e. a price close to that of the "real" versions with the same name, instead of close to the cards with matching performance).

Why do the negative emotions seem more convincing?

Neurosis & Jarboe - Within

Unbelievable... These fighting idiots. "Oh, there hasn't been a war between two countries in Europe for some time now, let's start one!" "Yeah cool, let's show them we're still strong!" Animals with "superior" brains used for weapons instead of common sense.

POV is doing the same game on 8600GT. See http://www.ipcstore.net/techdealer/index.h...l&id=105621. It's about the level of a 8400GS...

Ah, too bad. My little (ok, I shouldn't call her that anymore) sister liked what little she heard of VAST. Amplifier - Motorhead I found a hiding place / beneath a dirty blanket of distorted bass Metallica - Fade to black

Vast - Japanese Fantasy It takes three people to make the biggest sound in the UK "Maybe I'd fly free as a bird"

See the NWN2-Boards for the latest iteration of the Securom FAQ. I've directed some people there after their DVD Burner stopped recognizin the NWN2 disc, or in some cases any disc whatsoever.

Tel Aviv: Must be quite the album for you, without vocals and all Cradle of Filth - Cthulhu Dawn

Yesterday: Birthday Girl. Considering that just before that I've seen a documentary about trading female sex slaves in Eastern Europe, it was pretty weird. That documentary again made clear that however ridiculous I find mankind, it is even worse. I mean, married women taken away from their men in the Ucraine and sold in Turkey?! Wtfh is going on? They're drugged and raped and used by pimps to make some money before they (the women, not the pimps) die. I hate humans. Anyway, back to Birthday Girl. I was surprised by Ben Chaplin who played very good, and by the ending that was too happy for my taste. But it was such a relief after the documentary. Also, it's funny seeing French guys and an American woman play Russians. Today: LA Crash. Wow. It's totally Hollywood with great feelings and all, but what intense feelings those are, and totally American with the take on enthnicities and the resolution with that song around the word "free" in the end. Got me quite emotional really, and the "free" song is actually about problems and by a Welsh band. The cast acts great without exception. What did bug me was that the whole film was convoluted with problems. While they were all realistic if taken one by one, they felt overblown when taken together. Nonetheless, a must see in my opinion.

I think drivers for 64bit OSs are not as big a problem anymore with new hardware.

Sometimes it's a good idea to do so. Saves you a lot of stress, tests (if there are any you haven't taken yet ) and money if you can tell the doctor what your various symptoms are, what you think it is, and what you need against it. Tested it, worked. Same for my girlfriend.

Massive Attack - Black Milk

Fields of the Nephilim - Last Exit for the Lost (Live) Still getting goosebumps after the long time it's building up, when it finally reaches the finale (or never actually reaching it... closer and closer...) and people are getting extatic... I can still feel it. Ah, holy [edit: begone swear words ] awesome.

Faith and the Muse - The burning season I'm having a weak moment / a moment that may not end

But to the degree that your DVD drive may be physically damaged. Not mine, because fortunately I have a DVD-ROM drive as well as a burner, but others. If you're interested, check out the NWN2 Tech Section or ATARI's boards and search it for Securom issues
