So I guess you can't just ring up at store-opening time and buy them over the 'phone, either?

Did you use babies as fire-breaks?

Hurry up, LC! Get to Neverwinter!

What's stopping the first guy in line buying a hundred consoles?

Wait ... you bought The Sims 2?

Unlikely. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But still possible! He has MADE his own luck ...

Still too good for Clerics. "

I guess it won't be long until the Xmen on Ice Christmas shows ...

I guess I must be a politics/history nerd, because I think of Trotsky ... :

Yeah, those two should be a good mix. :D BTW, has anyone ? I'm thinking that . With someone that has suffered through his past as much as he has, it kind of makes sense. He's unemotional and cold because events in his life made him that way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or maybe he created the events in his past by having the mood predispositions he has. "

The Oxford Concise says it arrived to English from German ... not sure if this supports or contradicts your statement, Maria ... (In other words I'm not sure if the Greeks had much influence over the old Germans).

Thanks, Jimmy!

OIC. I thought you were expressing your own surprise at his singing talents.

You're welcome. As always, read at your own risk: genetic-environmental interaction abnormalities are beyond the scope of the terms and conditions of any warranty, either expressed or implied. "

I getting really annoyed with the memory manager errors that I'm warned by as applications are closed (strangely, only when my laptop is docked): I can't wait to go back to a hardware firewall and ditch this software one.

And it wouldn't be half as annoying if their stuff, you know...didn't suck. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Still, it can work: look at, say, their Project Management application (imaginitively called Project): it started as a easy-to-use featureless toy that sold for almost nothing, and then (via six version iterations) eventually overtook the (originally) much better and entrenched market-leader Computer Associates product. That's when they get it right. Otherwise there is MSN Messenger or their Search, as counter-examples ...

Sure, the issue (apples for apples) would be timing an application that compares, say, moving a codestream from one core to the other (from one distinct L2 cache to the other) versus using a shared L2 cache between the two cores. Lots of fun and oppotunities for engineers to draw pretty graphs.

Hee hee. Yes, documentation is the first casualty of programming. (Or was that truth and war? I always get them mixed up ...)

Do you have a goopy black skin-tight costume?

At certain times, yes. It's alright when you're inside and can close the door, but driving on a sheet of it can be fun to downright scary. And I couldn't post in this thread without adding another ice pic(k? ah forget it), this time featuring daylight! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That one in the background is definitely a potential ice-pick ...!

I have no idea. It's speculation, not a spoiler. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> YOU KILLED HER!

Why not, that's what my CE Tiefling Warlock said to him! :D

Jorian, the point Tigranes was making is that, when you agree to ague with Volo, you have dignified his illogical ramblings, and therefore he has won. Hence his magical qualities. bummer, too, because i have a beautiful samsung 213T sitting at home unused. another on my desk at work though it is only used for development and, i even have a 20" dell on my desk at work. you won't see me run games other than solitaire on any of these. maybe the new 8800s will suffice? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno ... I think the next iteration of ATi (R600) and nVidia (after the 8800) might do it, but there is a big gap to broach. It is certainly giving me pause for thought before I take the plunge on a new PC ... I don't want to amputate a limb for a system that can't wipe it's own bottom.

I voted 50+. I was correct.
