  1. And F.E.A.R. and Battlefield 2
  2. Great game, only thing that annoys me from time to time is that everything takes a bit long to destroy, in contrast to Red Alert series.
  3. You have to get used to being around with her and talking with her, it's much easier if she's something like a friend rather than almost a stranger. This will allow you to get over the shyness and things should be much easier from that point on.
  4. So you're implying that where there are not many Mexicans (i.e. North Dakota), then "Bobby" will get paid $25/hour at McDonald's? If you need the money, you're going to work, period. If not, then welcome to the good life of the bums.
  5. Not for the people who made it, as they can take whatever percentages they desire for "office management" and such. It's gonna take a brawl to bring this bad boy down, and they're not going down without a fight.
  6. Sacramento And some places in Ukraine where I used to live, like Zaporozhye.
  7. If it takes you more than 30 seconds to figure out this advanced mp3 layout, then there's a bigger problem than you think. I was hoping you'd figure out that with a better layout, menus and navigation could be used more efficiently. It would be like Alienware shipping out some Playskool keyboards with their top-of-the-line gaming computers for "simplicity" instead of huge and complicated keyboards. After a while, you'd wish it was not so simple and didn't needlessly waste so much time. The whole point of advanced menus and layouts is for you to get used to them, therefore making it as efficient as possible. That's nice to know. And I program games .
  8. No you can't, no option as high as that would be available. But as far as I know, none of them consist of a single-cpu computer? If not, then don't expect a boost in games. Just as dual-processor computers actually make games go slower, so should these super-computers. That is, until they're made with decent multi-threading.
  9. Do tell me about this research and its sources. Yahoo! Answers is the only thing I came up with . Yes, it's called probability. Edit: I've checked out this site http://innerself.com/content/self-help/personal-growth/astrology/moonlunar/4462-full-moon-a-human-behavior.html and Googled its "reports" and I haven't found exact results (note that I don't have the time to check every single report in this article). If anybody can provide me with anything that's actually credible, I'll be glad to look it over.

    Exiling Religions!

    People need to learn to mind their own damn business. Notice from BuffaloHELP: Although free thinking and speech is encouraged in our forum, please respect our forum by respecting our language rules.
  11. Try something Cesar Millan (Dog Wisperer, Discovery Channel) would do: stop the behavior before it starts. Make it clear to them that that's nothing close to your point of view, and if they still keep at it, tell em to f off and go get themselves a prostie. It pisses me off when I see examples again and again of a society that embraces stupidity and immaturity. Find better friends. Although they may seem like mythical creatures, there are actually few mature teenagers roaming the Earth.
  12. Reservation: There's your list, now point to the number, because honestly, I got lost trying to keep up with your train of though.
  13. I find cellphones that support music, ect. superior to the Ipod. And honestly the Ipod's interface is so damn simple and redundant it's annoying, like it was made for complete retards.
  14. Driving from Sac to Oceanside is a pain since I have to pass through LA. Driving through there 2-3 times a year annoys me, but I can't imagine what it's like to actually live there. Unfortunately, there's not much that can and will be done.
  15. Heh, I though it was just me, but yeah, that's my most watched channels of all time. Most everything else is commercial-filled crap.
  16. So now instead of chemotherapy people will now be prescribed antibiotics that'll be just as ineffective and dangerous? All the cancer societies and associations have spent billions and billions of dollars to say "Oops, sorry, here's the real info." This isn't going to change anything, not by a long shot. Cancer wont be cured, but will be babysat as long as possible to acquire the maximum amount of profit. The monopoly wont be broken so easily. Check this article out: http://www.barleans.com/literature/swirl-sampling-holster-refill-50-eco-tasters-1-holster-litdemo2 Shows how flaxseed oil slows breast cancer growth (and in my opinion the article doesn't tell of its true potency, being as effective as chemotherapy). However, in America, the almighty FDA states that only a drug can cure, treat, or prevent any disease, which is complete bull, so if you were to give any hint of the curing potential in flaxseed muffins, you would break the law, and the FDA would have permission to come to you, armed, confiscate the harmless food, and throw you in prison, and if you're lucky, that'll be it. Therefore, the monopoly will be sustained and this will be held away from most people.
  17. Just people trying to find a place to blame their troubles upon. I.e. you have a bad day, so you blame it on the gremlins. I looked through my huge book of compiled popular questions, and sure enough there it was, disproved by countless studies, as I said earlier. If this debate is to continue then somebody please provide a link with a website that has actual credible evidence to show that the moon affects the mind.
  18. This task would be ridiculously easy if you were to use something like DarkBASIC (or Pro).
  19. That statement already tells me you wont be a game programmer. Most of the successful game maker were never taught anything, they just experimented and learned the tricks. Programming takes a lot of determination, no matter what language you use, unless of course, it's some drag-and-drop program.
  20. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ And I'm positive I've seen a P4 clocked to 10 ghz around somewhere, but I can't find the website... Keep in mind that even though these processors go this fast, they only set ghz records, not performance.
  21. I don't think an integrated video card is worth drooling over
  22. What's the point of maximizing a copying window anyways?
  23. May I remind you that these days the technology you mention is available in Athlons also. Not sure if all of it, but most of it is. Also a simple explanation of Hyper-Threading is basically having the processor utilize its unused resources and there's nothing really grand about it. About the only place you can see improvements are if the programs are actually coded to run better with H-T.
  24. In reality, the Core 2 Quad Extreme will extremely own the crap out of the P4. In fact, this is nowhere near a close match. What you're not looking at is the most important part: the actual architecture of both devices. As AMD first proved, clock speed doesn't mean anything, maybe it might in theoretical benchmarks, but real world performance has shown otherwise. The Intel Core series are basically AMD type cpus Intel had to make because it got its *bottom* kicked by them. There was basically no competition between AMD and Intel because Intellian cpus came nowhere close to what AMD's could do in games, until the Core series came to desktops. What was the cause of this ownage? AMD obviously provided more power per clock cycle, mainly due to superb floating-point calculations vital for games and many other programs, and its onboard integrated memory controller that gave insanely low latencies for its ram. Also, just to throw this out, Intel seems to require faster ram much more than AMD's do, and in my opinion, this is because of the integrated memory controller AMD has.So there you have it, seemingly similar cpus are actually very different. Always be sure to check out techreport.com if you need any more help of which components are better, they're my favorite benchmarking site.
  25. Agreed, RAM can only do a tiny tiny bit of good compared to what a video card can do. Save it and spend it on the card, or maybe even buy another one and run and SLI/Crossfire rig. My experiences of RAM overclocking did not impress me, however, I think this is more because I have AMD systems than anything else, with their integrated RAM controllers and all.
