Moonspell - In and above men

You're wearing a mask Alistair? Cool name The 69 Eyes - Crashing High Fun, fun, fun

So, anything new on SoZ?

Fields of the Nephilim - Psychonaut Lib III Cryptic and great. Good job from Pettit on bass, too Pray now for how long We're falling from ecstasy Like changelings Freedom returned for new souls Here or after Well enrapture me and I'll change...

Blackops anyone?

I found Akachi to be an interesting opponent, because he was partially you, or you partially him, so you were fighting a part of yourself. An anwanted one, but none the less. This is an analogy to Planescape: Torment, and not the least of the reasons I loved the game. It also motivated the strange interest of the Red Wizard, and it presented you a very good reason to play the game through to the end. Really, one of the best opponents from multiple perspectives, even if he as a figure remains unknown until the very end.

Are you the guy with the glasses seen quite prominently? Fields of the Nephilim - Sumerland (whole Elizium album, that's just the current song)

Idiots. Here I was considering one of their mainboards for my next PC, but this project is now officialy dead. Did you know they were manufacturing Intel's mainboards too? Just an interesting bit when combined with your information. Thanks for sharing.

Disable AI, or set all members to puppet mode.

Unforeseen Seed Ship's always coming early, I suppose. Desperate Explosion. "Aarh, what should we do now?" "It's time to explode."

Both Birthday Massacre and Fatboy Slim were huge letdowns live So were London after midnight... London After Midnight - Revenge

I have no idea how two PSUs are synchronized. Never tried, sorry... The efficiency could also be lower if you split it. An example: Let's say your computer uses 150W while surfing, 100W for board, CPU, graphics card, and 50 W for drives and whatever else needs power. Let's say a single PSU of 1100W has an effiency of 75% at 14% load (that's 150W). It will draw 150W/0.75 = 200 W out of its wall socket. Let's say the PSUs of 650W and 550 W have an efficiency of of 75% at 15% load (that's 100W for the 650W PSU) and 65% at 9% load (that's 50 W for the 550W PSU). They will draw 100W/0.75 + 50W/0.65 = 133W + 77W = 210W out of their wall socket. If you use only the 550W one alone, you'd be at 27% load already and thus in a better range for efficiency, nowadays over 80% for good PSUs. So at 80% efficiency it would draw 150/0.8 = 187.5W from its wall socket. The efficiency percentages are fictional, of course, but it should just show that it isn't guaranteed that it'll save power to have two lower rated instead of one higher rated PSU. The good thing about the two is that you can run your PC with only one of them (possibly the 550W one, if it works as demonstrated in the example above) until you upgrade it sometime and you'll need the 650W one, or upgrade it even more until one isn't enough any more and you really need the 1.1kW [edit] Damn, 550W+650W is 1.2kW. But I'm too lazy to edit my na

Imo it is but it's getting better with the first 80+silver psus showing up... I hate the server at work, why does it have to be in that stupid rack? If it was in a normal tower, it could be cooled so much quieter, instead it now has these jet engines of 50mm fans or something. Gorgon: What sherman tank case? Antec's a quality brand, so I'd guess it'll be alright.

Only wizards wear monocle. And what did you expect from a goth party, all distand faces and silence? Today, I worked on two different databases, and I must say, MSSQL may be good, professional and all, but I don't like the syntax additions to SQL the "canon" uses (all the ugly [s and GOs and the documentation). Also I helped my girlfriend fixing feathers on a coat and we looked some FotN DVD. I wish I looked as good as McCoy (no, not Bones), preferably with his voice and presence too. Ah well. Mine must suffice, and does fortunately most of the time.

Well, at least you haven\'t been contradicting youself in such an important matter, that could and would have been used against you... I also still like the same beers (Locher and some czech), and I prefer them cool.

There's already a beer-thread I should know...

It's also too hard for some people to make the camera's behaviour fit their needs / ideas of how a camera should work in a game. Hey, I like dinosaurs, just not in a DnD campaign/game

Gorth's right. To illustrate, some pics of different power connectors: Molex connectors for IDE-Drives (for older HDs, CD-ROM etc.): [o o o o] SATA connector (for newer HDs, DVD burners etc.): ======

Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor (whole album) (also, it's inspired by Morricone...)

Looks that way, yes

How the FSB and the RAM speed are connected depends on the chipset. You'd have to look for a review that covers whether and how it works exactly. For my motherboard, they're completely independent (while the HT-speed - owning an AMD board - is tied to other frequencies), but there are sure to be others where FSB and memory speed must fulfill certain criteria, like 1:1, 2:3, 1:2 or similar relations. Concerning the strange PCI-e numbers: These are the connectors of the PSU. 2x3 is a 6pin, 2x4 is an 8pin connector. The table shows the number of connectors available for each type and how many cards of the type in the title of the table are supported by the PSU.

Gemcraft. Damn it, I shouldn't ever have started that piece of time consuming addictive little thing...

Well actually, they are. At least in my campaign (Ghostwalk setting)... They make good enemies, being strong and intelligent, having natural access to psionics (depending on the rules you use) etc. would like to point out that the ghostwalk campaign produced one product. had some nice notions, (and some bad) and yuan-ti and orcus cults were key antagonists, but you & ghostwalk is proving our point... is not common. Alright, that's true, there's only the setting - but there's no need for more, because it serves as major inspiration for unexpected twists in the storyline (as does Heroes of Horror) and not as 1:1 base Still, the Y-T were one of the few races updated in the Expanded Psionics Handbook (which produced no further offspring either, unfortunate exception is that abomination called Complete Psionics), and they meant something to all the players in my group. Otoh, the may all have played BIS/Obs games... You see, I don't really have a point to defend here In my opinion, they are not overdone in the sense that they are not a usual sight in fantasy games, whereas elves, dwarves (however much attention they deserve), orcs, goblins, undead are much more frequent and, honestly, kind of boring in their "pure" fashion. Unless some twists are added to these races, they are the overdone friends and foes of fantasy games. I for one welcome their role (whatever it exactly will be) in SoZ.

The Maximus Formula does have one IDE connector, see here, for example, or a picture of it.
