  1. Which is why those gangs are so eager to kill anybody who threatens their share of the transport market in Mexico. Street Prices were at the time of this article $175K (for what you paid $300 in the source country). The trafficking can employ a lot couriers and hitmen and still make some string puller filthy rich.
  2. Good question. Is it on-line configuration? Your OP mentioned dual channel specifically. Edit: I think I found the place. Tried to run a Desktop Studio xps 9000 through the configuration process. Lazy bastards doesn't tell exactly for the configuration. 8Gb is explicitly mentioned as dual channel and 12 + 24 Gb as tri channel. No info whatsoever on the 9 Gb. Any chance you could ask your rep to verify? It does make a difference
  3. I tried to go with the i5 for the Turbo Boost performance but as you've seen there isnt a decent video card option for that config. Ive decided to go with this: PROCESSORS Intel
  4. The End?
  5. Start of old thread End of old thread Zombi Holocaust. Yeah, I'm sucker for those old dead good movies.
  6. I use it on rare occasions, like at gunpoint when no other option is available, and then only the pay without having an account option. Happens once or twice a year. Anyway, Samorost 2 added to the bundle. "Retrofitted" to the bundle for those who already bought it
  7. A permanent residency application I got tired of always living on a temporary business visa that needs renewing. I think I'll stay for a while. Did the two sessions of my medical examination last week. I'm disgustingly healthy. I should do more violence to my body. Got a copy of my police record from Denmark. Waiting for the (similar) papers to arrive from New Zealand and the Australian Federal Police (I'm probably going to regret those speeding tickets).
  8. I haven't played the games, so I didn't have any expectations before watching the first one. Same deal with Silent Hill
  9. Aww... Finished second part of my test today. I think it went well, but reality will knock on my door within the next two weeks when I receive the score. I sure hope they assess the language and not the technical merits of my suggested urban infrastructure changes
  10. Yeah, excuses. Pesonally, I think they should be given their freedom. I can't remember the group verdict on the Resident Evil movies, too lazy to browse backwards in this thread, but I actually quite liked those (bought all 3 on dvd). Sort of sci-fi'ish I suppose.
  11. I wonder if you would think the same way when they come and pick you up in the night, because one of your neighbours reported that there has been a light on in your garage at night the last five days and you get stripped of your citizenship, locked up in a non-disclosed location with no contact to the outside world for an indeterminate period of time.
  12. Heh, nice to know I'm not the only one in the world to have that particular experience. I've sort of got my mind set on this particular type of card though, not to mention already bought cooling solution for it (which wasn't cheap at around 150 Euro including shipping), so I just have to tell myself that it is better to burn out than fade away
  13. Whee, so Powercolor, Asus, XFX, Sapphire, HIS, Gigabyte and MSI all make 5970 cards. That will help narrowing down the selection process... not Only difference seems to be $100 between the cheapest and the most expensive. I seriously considered the Sapphire Toxic, but I wouldn't expect the cooling solution I've ordered to fit the double ram. Added a WD 600Gb Sata3 Velociraptor (10K RPM) to my cart while trying to sort out the gfx question.
  14. Ok, which one of you guys rubbed the lamp three times?
  15. Now that my memory seems to be on a roll, Battle Royale (Batoru rowaiaru) was, if nothing else, something different for my "western perspective"
  16. Your only redemption for reminding me of Star Wars episode III (which I until now had successfully forgotten) was that the list also reminded me of Planet Terror Edit: I guess I can add T3, Underworld and The Island to the list. Those weren't too bad. Monsters vs. Aliens is probably one of those I would like to forget, but sometimes you have to take what you can get on flight entertainment (or watch the 17th rerun of something)
  17. Some realities are better than others >_
  18. Yes. 1999? Damn, time flies >_ Well, maybe it seems more fresh in my memory because it is less than a year ago I bought the Blu-Ray version (it was dirt cheap)
  19. Was that supposed to be related to X-Com somehow? >_ I guess the jury will have to wait until the first gameplay videos appear so we can see the game mechanics.
  20. 28 days later was the only movie I knew from the top 10 list >_ I've probably only watched three other sci-fi movies that were made the last decade, Serenity, Supernova and Dark City. That is, maybe there are more. Will have to check the release dates on dreg like Alien: Resurrection, Matrix sequels etc. that my memory is trying actively to suppress. It seems like the tv series have been more memorable, oddly enough.
  21. Did first part of my IELTS test today. The time between start of registration (7:30) and finally getting out and getting my hands on a supersized cup of Cappucino (13:00) felt like eternity >_ Still have to do second part tomorrow. Waste of a nice weekend.
  22. We gather our pitch forks and torches and seek out the isolated, the different ones and the pariahs and attibute things like tornados, aids and earthquakes to them. From there on, things usually sort themselves out.
  23. Why do I keep thinking "Salvation Army" everytime somebody says "Red Shield"?... >_
  24. I guess I can spare $50 for a handful of games. Some of them looked quite neat >_ Paid through Amazon (as I wouldn't touch paypal with a 10 foot pole)
  25. Your "Sweet Spot" PC looks sweet Gfted1. Can't you ask the boss for a tiny raise? >_
