You would never make it old man, that lifestyle is reserved for the early 20-somethings.

I would punch someone in the face if I went 16 hours without eating.

Yeah, Tep knows all.

Got anything constructive to add? Yes, youre wastine your time. Run away. Or, alternatively, you can save yourself a crapton of time by reading the exhausive replies from Wals and 1337 in any of the other 15 threads that all boil down to the same thing.

^And thanks to everyone for the free advise.

^aaaaannd another one takes the bait.

Having just aquired a Win7 64bit system I noticed something. It seems like there are two "Program Files" folders, one that just says "Program Files" and one that says "Program Files (x86)". I assumed the X86 folder was for non-64 bit programs since thats where it put WoW so why is it that people have trouble running 32bit software when it seems the OS takes care of putting it in the right place for you?

So, being the nerd I am I couldnt wait until today and wound up calling Fed Ex and just going to get the package myself from their distribution center on Saturday. All I can say is WOW. The system is lightning fast and quiet as a whisper. The 24" display is a piece of art. I swear to god the damn thing is as big as my torso and its so clear I feel like Im looking out a window. Im still getting used to the size of this thing and its a little odd when I browse online as some sites (like this one) will stretch to fit the entire width while other sites just display in the middle of my screen with lots of unused space to the left and right sides. WoW, which wasnt too graphically intense anyway, is now set to "ULTRA" and looks beautiful. Just having this system makes me more excited for FO:NV so I can really see what this card is capable of.

You and your date have fun!

Incredibly, only two Westerns in the 2000's had commas in their titles.

Im confused. If his total character level is 40 (2 + 38): What does he mean that he reached level 300?

Adding to the 'strange european things' : here in Italy we actually use the comma to separate the decimal points from the rest of the number. Some variation, but the official way of writing "1,500.25" would be 1 500,25 around here - at least according to the style manual of the Helsinki Court of Appeal, which I happen to have. Yes, I believe the official congress(?) of weights and measures determined that either 1 500,25 or 1 500.25 was the appropriate way to write. So 1,235,567.89 would be 1 235 567,89 or 1 235 567.89 and so on... Huh, very interesting. So its more a case of the US being the only ones to use a comma and decimal point much like were one of the last to still use standard vice metric. For some reason it disturbs my brain to see those spaces between the numbers, like youre looking at three seperate numbers.

Silly question. I notice that Europeans use a comma instead of a decimal point when writing numbers, why is that? Also, what do you do in the case of a number that requires a comma and a decimal point, for example: 1,500.25?

= = I had it shipped to work and the 15th is Saturday so I'll have to wait till the 17th.

Ah, self appointed mods, what praytell offends your delicate sensibilities? The post quote from Boo that explains a very select act predominately executed by Asians? Seriously? Careful, Hurlshot may puke on you.

So what makes one "hispanic"? Speaking Spanish? I mean, Mexicans are hispanic but so is Spain. Brazil is hispanic even though the populous is mainly Portugese. And the Columbians, Chileans, Venesualans, etc... So is it if youre brown and speak Spanish, youre "hispanic"?

I wonder whats the percentage of registered hispanic voters. Less than 5%? 1%? It would have been hysterical if this was happening in Arizona and those 200 protesting kids were raided for illegal immigration.

Just curious but why would anyone buy a wirless LAN card for a desktop PC? Arent they slower than wired connections?

Sure, but how do you feel about your mother?

What word?

Agreed. And it will cost $100.00. And Ill probably still buy it.

Very cool, how do you get it? Was the first pic in the LK's chamber? I havent been that far yet.

I think most people feel they are getting screwed over because DRM does almost nothing to prevent piracy yet inconveniences legitimate users. Using your examples above, just imagine if you still had dial-up. Or if the company servers go down and you cant play your game for a few days. Or if 5 years from now they take the server offline and you cant play at all.
