new hard drive
I am seriously considering the 64 mb version of this http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1005/1/ It's about 20-30% cheaper than the competition, although not as fast. Should be a noticeable improvement in load times and boot times though, for the first time in, well more or less ever.

Where are all the cool clan mechs- New Mechwarrior
Did they yank the offending mechs, or is the game still in legal limbo ?- Help me choose a name for a new company
What about her welcome ?- TV: SG:U
First the ship needed air, then food, power, and now water. Stay tuned for the season finale where they all run out of cigarettes and start murdering each other over the last pack.- Happy Samhain to all our Pagan and Wiccan friends!
Probably because wicca experienced a new age revival around the 1960s and hadn't had much of an actual following for over a thousand years prior to it.- Victor Chang's killer released from prison
You generally don't use question marks when you are not expecting an answer.- UK Government drug Policy
I still have an old pair of hemp pants, the fibers are so tough you can weave it into fabric. Too much of anything is a bad idea, and we are already dealing with the effects of alcohol abuse, like Hurlshot said, disfunctional families, drunk drivers etc. But whats to be done about that, bringing back prohibition ?. If we didn't use so many resources policing drugs we could more effectively do something about those secondary effects. As it is we are presenting an easy avenue for people to make money illegally which we do our best to band aid with policing. Making most drugs legal is the better structural choice, but the public does not agree, certainly not those who typically vote.- UK Government drug Policy
I'm not sure I take your point. Excepting maybe drugs that make the user psychotic with long time use, such as meth and ppc, the drugs themselves don't hurt anyone. The majority of the violence comes from users who produce crime to support their habit, as well as the providers who war over production facilities and create political and social instability (for instance south American cartels or the Taliban) and low end dealers beefing over territory. It seems to me one could make a whole lot of criminals of various bent unemployed with one fell swoop. Educators should be tasked with providing medically accurate information about harmful drugs, and there should be a legal age just like there is with alcohol, adults should be left alone to make their own informed choices.- UK Government drug Policy
It's fundamentally undemocratic and contrary to personal liberty that the government has to interfere with what you chose to use as recreational drug. If it wasn't illegal we could use all those resources that are pissed away every year on things like rehabilitation and providing real unbiased information about the dangers of a given drug. The world would not end if you let people be responsible for their own lives.- NBA Officiating Drama
I propose making the 3 point area a little more interesting.- Warhammer 40k: Space Marines
The trailer doesn't tell me what kind of game it is. Space marines look cool on a tabletop, and really stupid up close, and I'm tired of their Warhammer RTSs now.- Movies you have seen recently
Anyone else think the aliens looked a little goofy, the CGI a little dodgy ?. I suppose there is still post production, and that it might not be what it will look like, but still.- FO:NV
you know you had 8 weapon quickslots too right? once i started using those, switching weapons was never a hassle. I didn't. The game controls screen didn't deem it fit to inform me that they existed.- What you did today
Don't you have a bunch of dogs, what are you worried about Coyotes for ?- Movies you have seen recently
That was Sam Raimi... Jeez. If he was a horse they would have shot him.- FO:NV
Switching weapons ought to be improved, the pipboy is just adequate as an inventory, but having only the pipboy to equip weapons, that's just bad design. Since you typically carry dozens of weapons for repair mouse wheeling won't work. How about scrolling through a melee slot, a pistol slot, rifle slot and a big guns slot instead, and have the weapon degradation at a more reasonable pace so you don't have to micromanage repairs every time you fired off a few shots.- MW2 cotroversy (spoilers)
I don't get it, the footage shows shooting civilians, yes, but how do we know the player is playing the mission and not just shooting things to admire the rag-dolling, bored because there is no one shooting back...- new hard drive
I need a new drive as well I, I have several OS, Ubuntu, two different versions of windows, one 64 and one 32 bit installed on the same drive. This is not a very good idea, and will probably end in misery. Whats the best value for money SSD these days ?- Movies you have seen recently
Looks cool, I'd play the game. Maybe this time the person(s) responsible for fundamental functionality and ease of use in design and gameplay won't have quite so many brain hemorrhages.- FO:NV
I just used the basic raider badlands armor, nice skin and theres spares everywhere, until I found the combat armor that gives extra APs, I used that for the rest of the game, although it was 100% damaged several times. Fortunately the merchants have combat armor. In any case you are better off using inventory space on weapons than on armor that's doing to disintegrate regardless. Just use what the majority of the enemy is wearing and toss it when you need the space.- Victor Chang's killer released from prison
I understand it's common to do some damage while doing CPR, theres a rib cage and you really have to hammer away for that pressure to translate to the heart, but can you kill anyone while performing CPR. Say if you haven't detected a weak pulse and respiration.- Just finished MOTB
I thought the spirit eater thing was enormously annoying. I too dislike time trials intensely. Maybe it's the way it was introduced, at the end of the intro dungeon as a wall of text carrying new rules and an annoying addition to your HUD. I would have preferred a conscious choice A, become a spirit eater and accept that you were going to go through the game always looking for the next meal, or B. Resist and never hear of it again. Sure after you had played the game a while you realized that you could resist and suffer only minimal consequences, but first impressions and the first playthrough should be of the greatest importance. - New Mechwarrior
