CPU Cooler for E8400
Ahh thanks. The installation looks a bit complicated, especially since they don't offer technical drawings for all the different cards. How do I know what a voltage regulator looks like. Looks like quite a fun little project nonetheless.

In the case of Congo vs Norway
I understand the charge is espionage and murder. There was some mention that they were security contractors, that is to say mercenaries, is this just fabrication. I can't see them working for the Norwegian government though. I mean they aren't exactly known for their adventurous foreign policy, If the Congo(ese ?) were out for money you would think they would demand something that Norway could actually pay. I think there must be good political capital in a high profile case about espionage. Colonial aggression is an easy sell for the locals.

CPU Cooler for E8400
Ah yes, developments since the top of the thread though. What I have now is an arctic cooler 7. It was quite cheap and it works perfectly. The problem is the fan on my radeon 4850.

Oil money, low population. Like one of the Arab emirates.

Check This Out
Yeah that's pretty good, but look at this

CPU Cooler for E8400
So there are replacement (well one would hope superior) cooling units out there guaranteed to work on my card ? I assume this kind of operation would void the warranty as well. I could, I suppose, just send the card back, but I just know that would take forever and a day. I would need a set of tiny screwdrivers as well. I don't have anything like that lying around. Although buying new tools is always nice.

North Korea: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
And yet another definition would be 'one of the two teams you were forced to be on during the cold war'

North Korea: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
It's pretty nice to have a big government tit to suck on during an economic depression though. We are increasing parts of the public sector to keep people in jobs, all despite a record deficit. It's ok though, we saved up enough to keep the silliness up several years more.

CPU Cooler for E8400
So after some trial and error it turns out that it's the fan on my radeon 4850 that is making the howling noise. No sound when it's doing virus scan on quick mode (100% CPU load) How hard is it to replace the stock fan on one of these things. I don't have a lot of modder's savvy.

Awesome/interesting games no one has heard of
Someone should create another thread called "great games no one has ever heard of which have now gone freeware".

Am I being paranoid
Our government is considering putting a cap on on the number of new liquor licenses given out because they think we drink too much, and it's bad for our health. Nanny state indeed.

When is it out ?

Big fun in little Poland
Wow that's a really bad photoshop job.

Israel: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
The Israli soldiers are saying it themselves. Even if they didn't their track record of disregard for civilian casualties is well established. It's a more or less unavoidable result of letting an army loose in one of the most crowded places on earth.

How does that go again, 'tl:dr'

Star Trek online
I was not impressed with the gameplay footage.

What you did today
me too. i think my fever broke, however, as i just started sweating. taks Have they started prepping for the pig flu winter assault in the US ?. My stepmother is a nurse and she is part of the group that's supposed to go out and claim bodies when we all start dropping like flies. I dunno how serious it will be, but they are rolling out the full 'outbreak' countermeasures. disinfectant handspray passed out to all workplaces, big red signs about how to avoid transmission, etc.

What you did today
Yes, quite. I remember when I came to see my dad after he had died and he looked at peace for the first time in months. It all seemed perfectly natural. Everyone else was crying constantly, I didn't until months later when I started having dreams about him. Funny how these things work.

Do you wanna date my avatar?
What would I want with anybody's avatar ?, even this Felicia woman you seem to be smitten with.

FO:NV
Vats is silly, I think most of us agree, only I don't think Obs will be allowed to touch it since it was one of the big selling points for the game. It tries do retain action points and elements of turn based combat, but it doesn't work. It's a free for all, the enemies just stand around and watch their heads explode. I think we can hope that the size of your stimpack stash is not going to be the all overshadowing factor of whether you live or not. Were I king I would replace VATS with a called shot feat. One shot at increased accuracy/crit with a cooldown factor, say 4-5 seconds of actual game time.

I caught my dad with his meat in my GF
I thought it would turn out to be a Geforce card and not some meat thingamajig though.

Nice effort, but I think we all saw that coming from miles and miles.

Favorite RTS and why do you like it
Homeworld, or Homeworld Cataclysm. The homeworld 2 AI punishes you for playing well and rewards you for being a tard. It's called 'adaptive AI' and it completely ruins the single player experience. On the plus side the fleet management works a little better, squadrons instead of single strike craft, easy selection, etc.

Movies you have seen recently
I thought Knowing was a cheesy hack job, but that's just me I guess. Predictable, dramatic high points marred by over acting, no sense of humor about itself. If you like the premise I recommend this instead. Anyway, giant robots > aliens. I don't blame Cage's performance though, I mean he can play a depressed drunk very convincingly. It's more a case of that truism 'never work with kids or animals'. I much prefered trees going apesh.it.

KOTOR MMO new trailer
Yeah, but like the man said, it's got nothing at all to do with how the game will look/be like.
