  1. when I have two islands full of devoted nymphomaniac sex slave robogirls and a larger island full of devoted nymphomaniac sex slave girlfriends and a city full of genetically-engineered-to-be-perfect-slavegirls and a totally badass set of PCs?

  2. Who needs the previous image when I have two islands full of devoted nymphomaniac sex slave robogirls and a larger island full of devoted nymphomaniac sex slave girlfriends and a city full of genetically-engineered-to-be-perfect-slavegirls, a totally badass set of PCs, and a large server farm?

  3. My family has had trips around the US before, but my favorite trips were me just walking out into the middle of nowhere when I was 6... (in rural South Dakota you can do it)

  4. I'm getting set to reinstall Windows... Been having a few issues with the OS causing a 6500 ms or higher ping time, and a download speed of less than .35 mbps.

    Let's hope the reinstall fixes the problem then.

    Actually, the problem went away when I left my laptop off, unplugged, and battery out for 2 days... I'm just going to reinstall because I somehow fucked up the system restore files, and now have 20GB of unusable space on my drive. Also, because it now takes upwards of 3 minutes just to start Windows. That's longer than it's ever taken for any other OS I've ever used. (I think it may be because of one too many BSoD)

  5. The original 6 Star Trek movies all used a good combination of miniatures and CGI.

     

    I am anti-CGI if I can notice it easily. (Avatar, Tron: Legacy, Indiana Jones 4, etc.) I am pro-CGI when it turns out like V for Vendetta, or Star Trek.

  6. i'm still debating on going to the army or the marines. only thing stopping me is, in a nutshell, i'm terrified of death. they'll definitely help me with college, if i understand it correctly.

    Navy is better. They have better pay, better food, shorter training times, better schools, and better jobs when you get out.

  7. after reading some reviews i found that he can only sprint for a few seconds. i guess that's one thing i can do that he can't :lol:

     

    edit: you beat the game already? :shock:

    Yeah, the sprint time kinda sucks...

     

    I usually beat the games the day I get them, but in this case I took a couple days. (computer hardware issues)

  8. Battlefield being BFBC2 with extra MP camping and even more dust.

    There is a lot more than those puny things in there... (and why is camping a bad thing, unless you're talking about spawncamping)

     

    Completely destructible environments (BC2 it was just trees, walls/fences, and buildings), more vehicles, more weapons, better graphics, better performance, fewer bugs...

  9. Oh well, while on the subject of weird computers, the peculiarities of mine:

    - One (and only one) BIOS-submenu is broken; the BIOS crashes when I try to access it. Even weirder: the rest works fine.

    - Within that submenu, however, is a switch to disable CPU-fan-checking which needs to be disabled or the computer will make an alarm beeping sound because it believes the CPU-fan not to be running (it does, don't worry).

    - One RAM slot is broken.

    - The other 2 slots have to be filled in a specific order: 256Mb first, then the 1Gb bank, or it will give RAM errors beyond the 1Gb range.

    - I stuck a GeForce FX 5500 in an AGP 4x slot.

    - The PS/2 mouse port failed simultanously with my dad's PC, which is a lot newer.

     

    All in all not bad for a computer that I've been using for almost ten years. It also boots up faster than any other computer in our household (about 1~2 minutes).

    Theriddlen is not entirely wrong, computers do behave better when you treat them better (http://james.hamsterrepublic.com/technomancy/), but it might also have something to do with upgrading from Windows 98 to XP. But as Ross described himself I doubt he treats his computer worse than I do.

     

    Anyway; good luck with your bridge, as you can read, I'm very content with my MSI motherboard.

    Sounds a lot like my old computers... Have you tried flashing the BIOS?

  10. If I can wade into this discussion, it seems like you are arguing different scenarios of anarchy. If you took a city and took away government you would have gang warfare, fighting over necessary (and unnecessary) resources as people tried to cling to the previous way of life. However if you took a rural area with an adequate or abundant amount of food then things would be different, some would probably try to aquire excess food and possessions by force, but most would not as after all it's not in the soldiers interest to fight.

    That is most likely, true.
