"As a slashdot reader mentioned, the point is that not many people know otherwise. The average Joe doesn't even know there are alternatives. Also, don't forget that regardless of what Media Player you use, you'll be running it on Windows. How long before MS transfers these functionalities to the OS core? WMP could just be a testbed." If that happens we will finally start to see a rise in Linux releases because people will be deserting windows in droves. I can't wait.

I'm thinking i'll make a clean brake after I extend the shelf life of my box with a year or so with one last AGP card. It's still going to be servicable if not impressive for a long time, so I can always use the old box for LAN battling.

This thread is .... .... long. Anyway I wan't to be able to play as HK47.

I remember reading on Tom's hardware guide that you could salvage ram and CPU in most cases, but you really want a PCI express system with the latest frills, not some AGP combover that doesen't have DDR2 Thats my problem too, unless I choose some outlandish intel mobo with integrated graphics I can't make the transition. Sucks big time.

Great. Should be quite a step up from my radeon 9600 anyway. Those 'enthusiast' cards come with a bonus electric bill. I don't need that. Seriously you can't just leave a box that needs 500 + watt PS on and forget about it without being punished.

Incidentially, whats the word on the power supply requirements for a x1650 I think mine is a 460 - something. I would hate to have to go shopping for a PS too.

I think he used to have a 256x2 dual channel setup from back when ram was expensive as hell and someone took out one 256 stick and exchanged it with a 1g because the board didn't allow 256/256/1G. hte mystary deepens.

Ahh.. I just assumed everything was dual channel these days. I suppose it''s possible that some boards allow that combination.

1.2 gb ram ? Did they change the binary increments Anyway i'm getting a x1650 for nwn as well.

Untill you figured out the ridiculously cumbersome face generator, then they were awesome.

Still, after I spent a good half hour fidgeting with the face and the skill combinations the character really became personalised. Wish I could find Slowpetes pics, he really nailed it.

I hated it too begin with, but then I figured it out through trial and error. You really can create loads of different great looking faces, though it was probably too confusing for most people. They should at least have provided a couple of premade ones.

Paladins suffer from the same personality disorder as Jedi Knights, they are either too good for their own good or the incarnation of evil. I want a gray paladin option.

The faces look kinda bland after Oblivion. Would have been nice if they could have stolen that feature. You never got bored with character creation even after you got bored with the game. Looks cool all around though, the only way is down with expectations like this.

Seeing how Explorer is free, how does that make it corporate driven. And if they buy a browser that has nothing to do with the makers of Windows, how does that advertise the merrits of the OS ?

You guys are wirdoes.

I liked most of the Entreri/Jarlaxe/Drizit stories. The old battle within the battle kinda thing, where the protagonist and the "badguy but in a good way" duke it out. Like hard boiled

What streets are those, Sweedish ones ?

Denmark.

Our flag fell down from heaven when we were battling heathens in the 10th century AD, So they are basically blasphemers. I vote the prime minister call a Fatwah.

Anyone could invade us and win, except maybe luxenberg. Took the Germans about half an hour.

They want a UN resolution as well. lols. does this mean we are about to be invaded ?

It is the company employing her, not the other way around. Company has policies and procedures. If I'm bound not to disclose the details of project I'm working at some company, does it violate my freedom of speech? Personally I think the courts should force companies to adopt a company headscarf as part of the uniform. Thats what they do in Britain, and everywhere else where immigrant comunities have been part of the fabric of society for a century.

It's become a cause the jour for primitives to score a few cheap political points with. Ludicrous, just ludicrous. The original article was about the top ten predjudices we subject muslims to in Denark. A satirical piece. It had this comic where 10 terrorists are waiting to enter paradise and Muhamed goes. "sorry you are just going to have to wait, we are all out of virgins" :D Religious types don't seem to have much room for humor at their expense. That much is universal. The reaction though is stupendous. The artists were subjected to death threats, and Danish export companies have their wares withdrawn from shops across the middle east. Jesus.
