  1. I think I saw somewhere that either Vista or Office really needed 1 gig RAM for it to run nicely. Although I think you can plug a USB Flash drive into the computer and have that act as extra RAM or something like that.

  2. GTA4 will most likely be a completely new chain of events, maybe only featuring slight occurances (people, places) of the past games. It could be that we use many characters and potentially one could be the protagonist but I highly hope not. I'd much rather something original to restart the sensation all over again.

    Knowing Rockstar, the main character will be male. Otherwise the character would just be accused of not actually wanting revenge, but just being that time of the month.

  3. Same wait time as me then aye Chalk. Thats interesting mate, your lucky getting a few copy and all. Enjoy :).

    Yeah, I'll have to see which PC I will put it on. Although my laptop might run it I'm not sure how good it will run. It says its Vista Capable but it might still be a bit slow.

    I just finished the other modules which means I should also get a copy of Office 2007 and Windows Live OneCare with it.

  4. The concert was pretty good. Muse were great and a few others like The Drones and Kasabian weren't too bad either. Cost me about $120 to go though but it was a good day. I got a little bit sunburnt though. I bought a bandanna as some merchandise to take with me. I initially didn't think about buying anything but I thought I might as well though.

  5. Well I just completed a course about it. Since I work at Target employees that are likely to sell or have to know about it can do this course about it (so Microsoft get people good selling them) and we get sent a free copy of Vista Home Premium.

    I just have to confirm my details over the next 2 weeks and it'll hopefully be sent to me shortly after that. Might have it by March.

  6. I'm about to head off to the Big Day Out. For those who don't know what it is, its a rather large 12 hour concert featuring heaps of artists from all different backgrounds. Theres actually 8 different stages set up and there is about 7-8 on each stage between 11am-11pm.

    I'll post a full list later but the jist of the big names includes John Butler Trio, Muse, Evermore and Jet.

    I'll catch up with you all a bit later when I get back.

  7. Just watched a documentary about the Columbine High School massacre. Its amazingly frightening to think about how simple it seemed to be. They were able to amass sawn-off shotguns, pistols and a about 99 explosives (including booby trap bombs in each of their cars and two 20 pound propane bombs) without anyone suspecting anything. As well as many boxes of ammo.

    Once they were in the building it was like shooting fish in a barrel. An hour later, 12 people had been murdered and another 23 had been injured. They went there with a plan of killing hundreds, but they knew and were prepared to die.

  8. What place were you born and spend the first few years of your life? That would probably be your nationality. Its quite possible that two places could be considered as being the place of your heritage so its likely that that is the case.

  9. I have always wanted to know is American football the same as English Rugby?

    No. In American football you only have to carry it 10 yards in 4 plays and the play stops at the end of each. In rugby its more full on in that theres no stopping of the play every 10 seconds. NFL is mostly about trash talking. Theres actually more violence in rugby and they don't use anywhere near as much 'protection' as NFL teams.

    Also many more players have a short amount of time on the field whereas the rugby teams would have the same 15 players for the match roughly.

  10. I think they would only shoot a short (1-2 second) burst. Enough to just basically knock the wind out of the guy. If you were feeling on fire you'd probably stop fighting so it would probably only be to make them surrender or stop attacking etc.

    From that range though could be nasty. Whats the kind of implications of being able to attack from a point which they can't see and have no idea whats happening.

  11. If the release dates were somewhat close then it may have been a possibility but theres no way they would remake it for PS3. It wouldn't have a big enough market to warrant the time and effort. It'd be nice to see what its like but not really worth it for Rockstar.

  12. They would need to test that there is not long term effects. They say that a 2 second beam is able to make them pull away reflexly, what would happen if someone held it there for say 10 seconds. What kind of affects would there be?

    Either way it seems to be a good method of non-violent resolution, if it works.

  13. Unfortunately no, but we could think of some positives. The extra money they earn from those massive advertising techniques could mean that they are able to do a lot more. More research and design, better models etc. Means that it would lead to an improved game.

    Also, since they don't need to make as much for a profit they might be able to reduce the prices of the game to make it cheaper to the consumer, giving it greater marketability which means that companies would highly value the advertising as its a bigger market.

  14. Well,your nationality is where did you born? You grew up in England or in Dutch?

    Well he wouldn't grow up in Dutch. He's grow up in the Netherlands. Either way most of your legal documents like passports would usually say the correct one.

    Saw Epic Movie today. Its funny if you want to see how they make a mockery of every other movie but pretty ordinary otherwise.

  15. Its not hard to believe that she let something slip when she didn't want to, but its a bit fishy when the cameras are rolling for no apparent reason and that the outcome is like that. The 2nd girl (closest to her) seemed to want to get out but not in a hurry like she would have been.

    Its just that something isn't right there.

  16. I'm guessing you installed a mod or tried to edit the game somehow. Uninstall and re-install it. If that doesn't fix it then maybe try a different computer (if its the PC version).

    If its not a PC version and it actually something like a PS2 copy then you may have real problems. Check that the disk isn't majorly screwed.

  17. I use FF. Mostly because of all the advantages like the safe issues but also started using it when IE didn't support all the features like tabbed browsing and transparent png files.

    Also, I used a copy thats made for a Mac so its especially nice since the buttons are shaped way cooler then the XP version.

  18. I've seen quite a few horror movies but have never really been freaked out by any of them. One of the worst moments though was when watching the ring. Just after they were playing the video (keep it mind we had all the lights off and it was quite dark), the phone rang.

    My brother and I looked at each other, then a few seconds later burst out with laughter.

  19. Wouldn't it be easy enough to set the member ID as 'fake' account. Make one which huge amounts of money (if possible cant be robbed etc) and tell it to use that. Im not sure if you can make 'private' members which no one can see but maybe even tell everyone that robbing (or attempting) is a bannable offence. Then you could check the logs every now and then just to make sure no one has tried to.

    You seem to know your stuff so I'll let you handle it however.

  20. With school vacations where I live we have 10 weeks of school (approx), then 2 weeks vacation, then another 10 of school, vacation etc. We have 4 terms so 40 weeks total (approx).

    At the moment though I have just finished high school so have been on holidays since early to mid November and don't actually go back until late February. Gives me plenty of time to do other stuff.

    I don't really like much soccer apart from international matches with the Socceroos, as well as the Domestic Australian matches. I find them more exciting as its a bit more physical, more attacking game and makes it really good to watch instead of boring 0-0 draws.
