The murderer doesn't value life and kills, can the law be put into the murderes place? The law that sentences that person should in theory value life, thats why its law, and therefore death penalty is wrong since when in use, law contradicts itself.The death penalty is a result of the basic human instinct of revenge, some sufficiently advanced societies can overcome instinct. Others don't.

in the root of the C: drive you should find a file called boot.ini, open it with notepad. it should have the variable 'default' set to something, like [br]default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS[/br] in this case partition(1) is the one under the [operating systems] section there will be two lines in your case, remove the line that is NOT the default. Alternatively, a safer approach, change the value of timeout to 0 both should work, the first one may accidentally erase the default OS choice rendering your actual OS unbootable.

Intel is the company, pentium is the cpus they make... Nobody knows about Transmeta, the company Linus Torvalds works for (think he still does) they make reprogrammable CPUs, so you can upgrade your CPU with a firmware flash downloaded from the company webpage ...well, theoretically...

enough with the pentiums actually... they should re-design the darn thing from scratch and give a better name, pentium is becoming the best known brand in the world... yeah, the next cpu from intel will be launching in 2005 I think and its supposed to have two cores on one cpu...

I remember exactly the same topic coming up before, maybe you should have done a search! :Danyways, as before, I demand SMF included in there!

umm, they are pretty dead... trust me...If you have a computer that can't run anything but <98 you would go with Linux anyway, so win9x series are utterly pointless right now.

umm, sorry to dissapoint you but HD-DVD is not gonna be compatible with the DVD we use today.Both formats use a thinner laser beam (its supposed to be blue coloured, hence Sony called their format BluRay) and if manufacturers don't adapt two lasers in one drive we all have to change our burners and readers etc.Basically the situation is that half the manufacturers went for Blu-Ray and half for HD-DVD. Movies are gonna come out on HD-DVD while the next Playstation is going to support BluRay. It may even come to that some manufacturer makes a drive which supports both... time will tell.

wow, looks cool too!I was always a fan of pontiac, ever since the TransAm in Knight Rider! lol

I don't use neither so I can't tell from first hand, but they are good for different things. USB can send a 500mA current to the device so small things can get power directly from the USB line, I dunno if firewire can do that... also USB can power off your device for standby etc...

Intel is the largest (not the oldest though, AMD and Intel were founded in the same year). If you ask why, I dunno... prolly because they founded the x86 architecture and cooperated with IBM to make the PC architecture mainstream. (That was a long time ago ) and until the Athlon came out like 5 years ago AMD cpus were no match. Well, some diehard k6-3 users claim otherwise, but I don't think so, the pentium 2 and 3 still kicked amd's *bottom*. However the Athlon is a complete redesign, especially its floating point unit is way ahead of intel's. Intel cpus just add onto previous versions, the only major revolution for intel was from a 486 to a Pentium. After that they only decreased the size, played around with the bus widths and the cache and added extra instructions but nothing completely revolutionary. Your latest p4 today is still virtually the same cpu as the pentium from 1996.

dude what on earth are you talking about? nVidia is a graphics card company, not a linux distrbution??!? how does it have anything to do with better security?

there is practically no difference between 8x and 4x AGP. Games don't really use it anyways because it is much much much much slower compared to the onboard graphics memory.An 8x card will work on 4x with little to no problems. You won't loose performance because you are running 4x instead of 8.200 dollars is not cheap.Yeah as was suggested you can get a ati radeon 9600 series card for cheaper than 200 and would be a good deal.Whoever said MX440: die That card is ancient and wont run half the games you throw at it because it doesn't have hardware shaders.If you really want to, you can go with a GeForce, but I would only suggest the newest 6800 series and they are expensive.

the way to get the latest and the best drivers is as was said, the manufacturers' websites (or sometimes ftp servers)those driver sites are total crap and are usually hopelessly outdated.

That is very incorrect. Otherwise there wouldn't be thousands of power users using AMD cpus all over the world. (And they wouldn't be the second biggest cpu manufacturer)

I don't agree that it has better graphics actually.Farcry had much better environmental graphics, the trees and the beaches and the water was awesome.Doom 3 was technically superior, it used the lighting much better.HL2 has awesome character grahics, the faces, animations and ragdoll physics of the characters are very realistic.

to give away invites first you need to get them yourself! :Dthey appear below the lefthand menu as "Invite x friends to Gmail"

Get a PCI Express system and a 700 dolar GeForce 6800 Ultradon't have anything better to spend your money on? (taking a look at your specs) Give me the money instead! :DAnd the CPU thingy was discussed here before, search for the thread. Basically both have their pros and cons, if you find one for a bargain get it! And let us know too

Athlon 64 has hardware Intrustion Detection (IDS) if thats what you guys mean, it compares checksums of the hashes of the executed programs on hardware, just like what most firewalls do on software. Its a pretty neat idea actually, and may be the future in combating trojans and worms. Just like AV programs practically wiped out viri.

Integrated wireless and bluetooth, sounds pretty good!And its a small device (unlike the dell x50 for example) so thats a pro.However it only has a 1000mAh battery which means when you are using wireless it will drain in no time.

Red Alert 2 is old? well yes it is, and its crapI just played the original Red Alert again and now thats a great game. Its a classic.

Quake by far, Unreal is no competition.Actually when the unreal engine first came out, (not tournament, first unreal) that was impressive, very impressive. But if you are thinking of online play nothing beats quake 3 deathmatch.

dont worry, I received three copies too and I haven't been inactive. Must have been a mistake.the admins must be playing around with stuff :D

First of all, let me praise you for your correct deduction: yes, you have been living under a rock, very big one too :DHalo and Halo 2 are games developed primarily for the xBox, funded and published by Micro$oft and produced by Bungie Entertainment (their website and press releases are so funny!)At first it was the reason why someone would buy an xBox and due to the growing xBox community, a PC port and some cool online gaming modes it became a worldwide phenomenon.Being an action game more than just a FPS you play as Master Chief shooting through hordes of aliens (or crushing them with your Warthog)I must admit, I just played the single player campaign once and that was it. Didn't like it too much. When it comes to online play I still prefer good old Quake 3 deathmatch.

salt? it will also make you puke... yuk... :Dcan't believe there is so many colgate lovers around... I can't stand it...

Well I would have liked to still use ICQ, however it is beyond my control since all my friends have moved to MSN
