Haha, Gerard´s got a new sig
Made that one pretty fast. Looks nice. Reminds me of some game for WinMO.I totally dig the new profile pages. Look like a social networking thing, but done good in this case (as most of the times, those social networking sites simply look horrible).
Just waiting for a width fix now. And I've noticed what I think is a bug. Posting it now.

You just had to bump your own topic?
Anyway
I don't really think the PS3 is outdated, just check out some of its exclusives like MGS4, Uncharted,etc..What I find odd is that developers seem to find the PS3 especially hard to produce games for, some games released for the PS3 have a lot of glitches and stuff like that.
As technology gets better and better, things get harder to code.
e.g., the PS3 is much harder to code games for than the XBOX 360.
Point is, the GPU of the 360 is quite a bit more powerful than that of the PS3.. What do we love more? GT200 chips or Nehalems? I'd bet GT200. Go for the better GPU.
And the RAM is just terrible.. Even id software, with John Carmack, the god of optimizing, fails to get Rage run better on the PS3 than on the 360. In fact, while the 360 is going to run the game at a nice 60fps, the PS3 has to do with 30 (Where's your 'hardware superiority' now, huh?). In the end, the Cell was just a waste of money. They should have kept things simple.

60 EUR for a the PC version...
The console price for the PC version..
We pay thousands for hardware and at least had games just a little cheaper, but Activision loves to screw their customers. Up the price with 10 EUR...
Indeed, what is 10 EUR? Not a big deal right? Point being, developing for PC doesn't cost a thing. No royalties to pay to MS or Sony. No other weird extra fees. Nothing for the SDK (not even sure if that costs a thing, but still), but still Activision thinks we need to pay an additional 10 EUR.
Who bets this game is going to be pirated as hell?
I'm getting the game from Amazon, so no big deal there, but for all the people buying it at just some store... Activision is just putting up their finger to their loyal PC fans.. The people that DO actually buy the game are just being screwed over.
Unfair. I've lost quite a bit of respect for Activision by this.
Forced to buy it.. MW2 is bound to be epic, so yeah..

I wish I couldn't run any application at all.
I wish I could be a dolphin.

I voted porn. Just for the hell of it.
But really, as Chris said, it's about everything. Porn is quite low on my list of Internet activities. Mainly news actually..

Meh, you guys should have heared the guy screaming. Nobody sane screams like that.
It didn't scare me at the time, all I thought was that I should just GTFO, just in case he'd head our way (not knowing he was running at us). But looking back, man am I happy I took action immediately.
Oh, and did I mention that just before I fled (when he was pretty darn f**king close), he said "Don't run from me, boys."
Yes, that'd make you think he was up to any good... you should have heard him say it. I'm happy I went.
Other then that, I think I heard a women being raped that night, a few hours before the man came. Not sure though.. She was just shouting for like 2 minutes and then stopped.
Edit: I totally forgot to tell..
So I was supposed to go to some disco like place today (Hollywood Music Hall, in Rotterdam). I didn't go in the end.. Just because I didn't feel like spending money (as I've got all these fines and stuff). Now it turns out some girl I dig like a motherfucker is there. Really, not just some nice girl. I've seen her as the holly grail of sex for the past 3,5 years now. That's a long time, right? Fuck. She's drunk right now, probably. I envy my friends who are there now. They better now do her.

I quite like it, though it needs some getting used to. My main problem with it, is that after a few minutes of using the new interface, I can't help but feel a little cramped.
Not only because of the width, but also because all the text is just a bit bigger and the buttons are much bigger now.
It looks nice, but it's a little less practical. At least, for me it is.
-
Well, he's right though..
It's about 35% lighter.
But why would you care about weight? Planning to strap the thing around yourself or what?
It's lighter than a pizza

Almost got something'ed to death day before yesterday. Came across some psychopath in a forest. I was drunk, a friend was drunk and sleeping and two other friends were out to get something to drink and would be back within 20 minutes (it was 4:30 AM by the was). And then, suddenly, a man was screaming and charging at us. He was about 200 meters away but I didn't know he was heading for us, so I was just cusually getting all my stuff. I then realized that he, in fact, was getting very near. I beat my friend and told him to get the fuck out. He went, I quickly grabbed my phone, wallet and some other stuff and jumped on to my cycle and took the time just to look back. The guy was just a mere 15 meters away and still charging right at me. Cycled as a motherfucker.
I survived, hurray. I won't be going back there at night anymore though..

Actually Win7 is as fast as XP in benchmarks, way faster than Vista. Especially on low-powered machines like my work netbook, and especially with startup time.
Yes, on low-end ones, 7 is quite a bit faster, but on any high-end computer, it's about as fast as Vista is (which is just slightly slower than XP. Even faster than XP for games.).
Any recent computer is better off runing Vista than XP if you'd ask me..
Just because it can run on higher-end PCs doesn't mean it's better. That just means it's a resource hog. And "recent" doesn't mean "high-end". They are still throwing out insanely low-end PCs, packaged with Vista. I've only seen one laptop in the store with XP since Vista came out.
Just the fact that Windows 7 can run well on practically any system that can run XP says a lot.
Point being, even mid-range computers will be faster with Vista instead of XP. 7 being about as fast as Vista (on average it's just a mere 5% faster if I'm not mistaken).
Mid-range being E7200, 4GB 800 MHz RAM DDR2 (pretty darn standard these days), HD3750 or something like that.

Vuze/Azureus.
Never have used anything else. Is mTorront significantly faster?

nVidia cards can't do that. AMD cards can though (whith some special AMD adapter).
However, there was some pain in the ass way to get it audio on NV cards too... Can't remember how though ):
You do get some cable with the card, yes, but the card won't send the audio through the HDMI adapter (because it's DVI in the first place).
Edit: Soo.. I actually still don't understand what those cables are for anyway
Point being, no HDMI with audio for NV, as it doesn't natively support it.Then why the hell would it come with the cable and have the manual fuck around with me?
Plus, everybody else on the web says that it works fine.
You are such a FUCKING ignorant bitch.
You've got a DVI card right? It's a DVI to HDMI converter, right? DVI DOESN'T DO AUDIO!
Unless you've got some special edition with native HDMI, you just won't get audio off the bat.
Let's make a statement here: If our opinions differ, I am always right.
And I'd like to know who 'everybody else' is. Tomshardware? They're idiots. Go to any other half-decent site. Everybody knows NV doesn't natively do audio over HDMI.
So, let's get this straight, do you have native support for HDMI or are you using a converter?
Converter it is, so there... it won't work.
But as I said, there is some way around this problem, but it simply isn't worth it and above all, I forgot... I knew it a few months back because I had to hook my computer to my TV, too.

The card is fine going to 105C. It will just underclock itself after that. No big deal..
I've gone to 102 myself. The air doesn't get all that hot and it's nothing interesting..
Risking a 2k machine? No, only a 300 USD card... Just do it, nothing will happen.
-
I've got a touch phone. Out of laziness I usually use fingers, but I actually do prefer using a stylus.
Fingers,of course. I have better control on my fingers than a pen.What? The reason people do like using a stylus is because it gives MORE control, not less.
Meh, big deal. Fingers is ok too..

Raybob...
QUIT POSTING BULLSHIT!!
Every single time someone asks for advise, you come up with something that is just FUCKING obvious. Everyone knows that a laptop of 2000 USD is going to outperform a 800 USD laptop. This guy is asking which is the best of that list. Ok, only THAT list, nothing else.
And if you insist to post anything else, then post something in the same price-range.
You're thirteen, so ok.. guess you could act a little immature now and then, but don't turn immaturity into sheer brainlessness..
All you're doing is a little bit like this:
Person 1: Hey guys, I want to buy a car, but I'm not sure which one I can get. You see, I can get is VW Golf for 20k, but I can also get a '02 Fiesta for just 15k. Is the Golf worth the extra 5k?
Raybob: WELL IF YOU REALLY WANT A NICE CAR GET THIS!!111! NOTHING ELSE BUT THIS IT'S THE BEST MAN!
Pretty darn pointless, you see?

I'm not saying Linux is better Gerard, but im not saying that it's worse too.
*cough*
To prove that.I tried to say that MS finally made an OS that can compete with the speed of Linux.Win 7 is about as fast as Vista in benchmarks...
And also, if there's a bug, you can't fix it yourself, unlike Linux, if you're experienced enough you can fix a problem yourself, or report it for future versions.Like my parents would be able to do that... As if you'd be able to do that. Don't think so.
From MS you wait months till you get a patch/update for that.They're pretty fast IMO, and much faster than Apple.
Open source is better that closed source.Any arguments supporting that?

I finally got to installing CoD 4 again and actually finishing the campaign this time. Can't wait for MW2 now ^^
Began on hardened, last few levels cleared on veteran.
bold=lol.
The campaign is easy, after you tried it on hardened(i got that chosen difficulty at the training)everything's easy.
Yeah, well, last time I was at "One shot - One kill", but I started new installation of Vista on a new HDD and never installed CoD4 again. I was bored and installed it a week back or something like that. Quite liked it.
I have to admit that veteran was a little annoying though. Just a bit less fun. Makes the gameplay a little slow..

Bethesda today confirmed that there will NO fifth installment in the series. At least for quite a while.

Another point there, from 10 top companies, 5 use Linux on their servers, 3 use FreeBSD, and 2 use windows.
On servers, Linux rarely crashes, with Windows the server constantly reboots after a day or two.(this is proven)
Also, Vista was an overpriced OS which was crap.
UAC fucks everything up, you have to set permissions with checking, then confirmation to do that etc.
UAC ran on everything i ran at the beginning.(20 sec to run it)UAC turned off=2-3 secs.
MS should remove UAC, pure crap.
Gerard made to point about UAC, so I won't say anything about that..
But the part about servers.. Well, yeah.. I'm not a pro, but as far as I know Server software of MS is pretty decent, but simply not as flexible as Linux is. Big deal.. So Linux is at least good in something.
And by that reasoning. 90% of all users use Windows, so everything else is bad.
I do greatly dislike Microsoft because of how all they can think about is making money (like every other corporation) but I will admit that Windows and MS Office are the only ones I will EVER use.Yeah, like we like working till we drop dead for nothing.. Come on, wake up. Go to Cuba otherwise..
What I really hate is all the fines MS is getting.. 3 billion, at the minimum. Hello, is there a single soul in the world that thinks such fines a reasonable? In the end we're just paying for all of that crap, MS won't change their business model because the EU doesn't like a few things..
Oh, and I like how the website of Steam says that Linux is a bit more friendly than Windows, while Linux is known for only being used by geeks, because, well, isn't that obvious?

Go for the 4736 then.
Edit: Hadn't seen WRX's post. Anyway, just do that, I think it's the best of those.

Five fines in one month..
Great.
Fuck the system.
For what?
For loads of very, very stupid things.
- Cycling on motorway. I know it's stupid, but I was lost and was cycling for the past 3 hours. It seemed to be the only way to find some place I knew before dawn.
- Lost my ticket in Public Transport.. Sucks hardcore. I always have a ticket, but lost it that time. Exactly at the time they were checking... They never check.. ):
- Driving on a road for cyclists.. I used to cycle there every single goddamned day in the past 4 years.. Forgot to turn and just thought "Ah, fuck it. It's sunday morning, nobody is going to be here.." Well, except for police that is..
- Cycling without lights on.. Well, just was a cycleride of like half a minute and my friend had cut his hand open. Was to busy trying to get him fixed up and forgot turning on my light..
- Driving without light. Yeah, fuck, I didn't even have the chance to turn them on. I just started and was immediately stopped..
That's 350 USD down the drain (250 EUR).
On the other hand, I'm now earning 150 EUR a week with my parttime job, which, considering my age, isn't all that bad. You know, just working evening, after school and stuff.
Speaking of library books, I still have one here.. have had it for the pst two years. Guess I can keep it.. they seem to have forgotten. Book is about the Hubble Telescope by the way, and though that sounds about as boring as having a glass of water at 5 AM, it's actually pretty interesting.
PS: yeah, who knows.. Considering the amount of times I'm drunk lately, public indecency might just not be so far fetched.. I'm sure the time will arrive for that, too.

When going to a someone's profile, any empty lines ( <br /> ) even whow up as <br/> at the "interests" section.
Example:
-Computers<br />-Going out<br />-Getting drunk<br />-Gaming<br />
And when selecting text, the BBcode doesn't work, but I believe I already read someone saying that a couple of minutes back.
