Pineapples periodically prick people pretty painfully.

It's called "An IQ above 160".

Child care.

Sufferin' succotash!

I found this cool little thing, it's an addon that detects pictures and text related to a particular stupid kid's show and replaces it with a caption that says this: "Moronic images or text detected and removed."

4.5 hours of music. On shuffle it is comparable to most Classic Rock radio stations, only no commercials and much better quality audio. (I'm using FLAC)

ThePirateBay is not accessible... 90% of the seeders and leechers on my torrents are using Chinese IPs... So much for censoring.

Pineapples.

Contemplating becoming very active on the forums again.

Link to one of the many articles covering the many issues with this election.

Blocking inspectors from polling places, glitches in the computers, no training of the polling place personnel, having to cover partisan images after polling has started... (should've been covered in the first place) What's next, polling booths having one leg fall off if you vote for a particular candidate?

What do you think?

Humans naturally form small hierarchical groups... (cliques, gangs, etc) The most natural form of governance is actually a form of hierarchy, similar to a dictatorship. (that's why it's so common to see in this world)

ATI cards really can't handle the physics used in real-time gaming, only Nvidia has decent GPU-based physics processing capabilities. (they actually have additional hardware functions that are designed for physics processing)

By the way, something as low as a GT630 will max out Borderlands 2 with PhysX for about $65. (if you get the EVGA GDDR5 version, less without, more with 4GB GDDR3)

Actually, all the heat goes out the side, and I actually timed it going from 68c to 52c... Took all of 8 seconds! (most laptops take 30 sec to do that last time I checked)

Now I'm just having troubles with the video card; memory overclocks, but the shader/core won't.

Just found this nice list of things that Obama and Romney support and oppose...

And that's just the short list for religion only... Obama is very against all forms of freedom if you take a close look.

Yeah, I put Fedora 17 LXDE on it. (I was trying to get Fedora 17 Security Edition, but I don't have any CDs, and USB install doesn't want to work for some reason)

Oh, and a couple days ago I found my thermal grease, so now my temps for my new laptop are 52c-68c. (I did a slight stress test to find out the high temps) Considering the processor and GPU are rated for 100c+, that's not bad is it?

Is that legal?

If the software is no longer supported by the company that holds the copyright it is abandonware, and is legally shared in any form with anyone.

This just in, an new version of ACTA for the Canadians... CETA.

It's not just the gay marriage thing... Obama is forcing Catholic hospitals to perform abortions on the whim of the person showing up. (Obamacare) Yes, I said CATHOLIC hospitals. That's around half of the country's hospital system, which is CATHOLIC, and is entirely unfunded by the government. The government is forcing a violation of a religion, simply because they can and do provide medical care.

Separation of church and state was meant to protect the church from the government, not the other way around. (look it up if you don't believe me)

So in a decent few years, should we tell all the children born after 2012 about "the great alien-induced apocalypse on December 21st" that we barely managed to fight off? And all of us pretend to be war veterans and tell exciting stories about "the fight for our planet" ; how close the world was to ending, but it didn't (thanks to the fighting spirit of the human race etc) and say that people who deny that it happened are just "trying to forget"?

But that would make all history previous to 21/12/2012 invalid.

So?

nvidia make the fastest available cards (for the moment). These great end designs, (9800GX2, 8800GTX), are cost accordingly. They have a lot of different cards available to mix up and bemuse the informal community, and techies in pc shops who know nothing.

AMD(Ati) are no slouches possibly, but really they have got the 3870x2,3870 and 3850 as their present range of cards - with the 48--s arriving up in the long run.

At when I would go for nvidia, they seem to be engaged with almost every game in development, and seem to run better.

 

Have I traveled 6 years back in time or this an advanced spambot with a fallacy?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Just a quick little tidbit...

If you vote for Obama, you aren't Catholic. The Democrats right now support things (diametrically opposite to the standings of the Republicans) that violate too many of the Catholic churches precepts. A true Catholic cannot vote Democrat.

I have a nice family tree of complete alcoholics as grandparents and everyone further back, but my parents almost never drank until I hit 21. The net result is that I have an extreme tolerance for alcohol, but no desire to get smashed. ($300 of hard booze on my 21st birthday, and I only got moderately buzzed)

I occasionally have a nice custom Screwdriver as a sleep aid. (mix about 1/4 shot each of vodka, rum, Black Velvet [Canadian whiskey], and brandy with about 12 ounces of OJ)

Well, I don't know about power to the video card, but the processor does top out at 35w. (exactly as specified in it's specs)

Under load battery time is supposedly around 1 hour.

Damn, can't seem to find my tube of PK-1... Have to look for it later.
