  1. And speechmaking is FUN!
  2. Actually, the point of the mascot is to give the soldiers a symbol of the sovereign / administration's authority. A corporeal manifestation of such intangible concepts as honor, glory and respect. Or something.
  3. Don't worry, James Earl Jones had a speach problems as a child ...
  4. I wonder if anyone has to salute the ferret?
  5. Yeah, I doubt whether you could handle all the attention from females that would result from speaking in a foreign English accent.
  6. I actually think he is more dangerous than religious. Maybe I am too cynical?
  7. I remember that Philips said that CDs were indestructible! )
  8. When two cards just aren't enough anymore... www.vr-zone.com <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One problem with that setup: physics calculations require a different hardware architecture. Whereas Video is just huge parallel processing of pixels (bump mapping then multiple shadow creations, a bit like netburst), which are all read-only; the physics calculations requires that the original data be updated as a consequence of calculations, so they are read-and-write (because the thousands of objects will have their momentum impacted by the momentum of all the other objects). So it is much better to have a PPU as well as a dual-card set-up.
  9. Although I wouldn't write-off the Socceroos until the final whistle, and even though my partner fondly remembers watching Totti play for Italy with her father (who died nearly 20 years ago), I doubt even sheer determination and perspiration can get a ball past the most expensive goalie in the world, even if the forwards aren't the superstars they were a decade ago ... Should be a godd game, though.
  10. Growing up? "
  11. Say what you mean,and Mean what you say.
  12. Australia are playing Italy. No, no no! the two scenarios are: England score in the first part of the first half, then desperately try to defend this goal all match, only to be drawn into entra time and lose on penalties, OR Ecuador keep a goal ahead of England the entire match If England had played Mexico yesterday, then they would already be out.
  13. I'm onto you Eldar ... you will just build a new computer for yourself, and recycle the one you have now for your wife ... and take all the credit from her for spoiling her with a "super" computer. I think the real test is whether it can handle Freelancer: Discovery capital ship explosions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haha those lag bad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> they would need two things: a PhysX PPU or similar, a patch to second out the explosions to the PPU. :D
  14. Trampolining is a very demanding sport: I used to have one and believe me it was very good for cardio and general fitness. I read that he did bulk up, though, taking food supplements and doing some weight training.
  15. Metal polish can be used on CDs and DVDs. Until the next gen (double layer and beyond) disks, all the stratches are just in the coating, and can be removed with abrasive cleaners. (Next gen HD-DVD and Blu-ray double layered disks will have the data so close to the surface that a scratch will damage the recording.)

  17. The latest Splinter Cell does a good line in ethical dilemmae, apparently, too.

    How many issues are there of Preacher?
  19. Well now you've given yourself away ... "
  20. Nice smirk, you mean.
  21. But I love you.... :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's okay, I like the new you! You have a soul, and I feel that you are quite the seeker ...
  22. I already can't remember who you were ...
