But can Chuck Norris chuck norrises?

I bet he can...

Finished watching season 1 of Farscape, about to watch season 2...

For the lucid dreamers here, do you guys have like super powers or ability to create / destroy / change stuff? I can only recall being able to do this once in my entire life, and it was to make some girl's boobs bigger. Best. Wet dream. Ever. But usually I try to close my eyes and make stuff appear or disapear in lucid dreams, and it never works...

I think I've mentioned this before, but it's kinda like having the console in most FPS games, and having a mental link to it... Doesn't entirely change the game, but makes it very easy to beat or enhance.

I knew this one guy, who claimed to be able to see auras and such, and he was afraid of me because, and I quote, "I see flames leaping from your hands, and your aura looks like the glow from a blacklight poster, and that's a color that human beings aren't supposed to have."

A little too much LSD...

I like to hamper Capitalism like that.

COMMUNIST!

Not necessarily... Could be an anarchist like me.

Taxman - The Beatles

And now for something completely different...

I shred my own provolone for my pizza now... Bets pizzas EVER!

sorry if this post seems to harsh, I just get really mad about this subject.

It also sounds incomplete, since I saw at least one sentence that was missing half of itself.

Oh, and BTW, "have" =\= "half".

Oscar Wilde ftw.

I think 16 gigs is the limit for modern motherboards anyway. Might as well get as much performance out of it as possible.

Actually the normal max is 24GB, 32GB, or 36GB. Anything lower is an extremely low-end product (no matter it's specs) or obsolete. Anything higher is either a server board, or an extremely high-end board.

Can't imagine ever needing more than 8GB though unless you're doing full-time digital video creation/editing, or multi-tasking a few 64-bit games. (or a whole lot of 32-bit games)

The CoD games sell like bacon crisps though, mostly for the multiplayer I imagine.

Yeah, but that's only because most people don't realize how much better the Battlefield series is for MP.

So what's it like? Based off of the World of Warcraft system, like virtually every other MMORPG?

Yeah, well, he didn't really mean that you... I mean God, was dead. It was related to men loosing their moral base or something

And that's why you shouldn't quote out of context...

Good for you... I'm Chuck Norris BTW...

fixed

At least it's close to the same thing...

Saw someone start a fight a couple days ago over a missing slice of cheese at BK, and it reminded me of how much I love Provolone cheese...

So what's your favorite cheese?

Yes, because if it does crash there is a chance only one tab will, instead of the entire program. This is unnecessary if the program is stable to begin with.

Chrome is stable to begin with. I have yet to have any crashes or errors. Multi-process browsing has never been a bad thing to anyone but the uninformed.

Crysis 1 is good up to the mothership part, then it quickly started going downhill for me.

Yeah, but the lack of a good variety of weapons and upgrades really made it a 1-2 playthrough game. With mods it can double or triple that, but it's still kinda boring after the second run.

My idea of a multi-playthrough game is C&C3:KW only with about 3x the units. (there's a mod for that)

Nope...

Yeah, it does... Crysis 2 barely makes 13 FPS at min settings for me though.

Did you know Nietzsche was going around saying you were dead?

 

Well, he was a wacko anyway... and I guess the joke's on him now.

Saying someone's dead simply because you've never met them is kinda moronic don't you think?

Wait for halloween 2013.

I believe that to be an overly optimistic estimate

Yeah, more like 2015 right? Maybe even on the HL4 engine if they manage to speed up their output a bit.

I honestly hope the world ends in a massive conventional weapons war...

My knowledge of metalworking will allow me to make a nice Ironman-like armor suit, (no hydraulics/pneumatics/servos, but they wouldn't be necessary for me anyways) and I can just pull guns and ammo off the dead...

At the end we all die, and I take my place among the dead. That's the way I want to go.

At least in July of 2009 Chrome was a bloated monster in a disguise. I'm trying to find more recent, similar benchmarks without success. I did however read more recently on another forum that Chrome ate memory like a hungry wolf.

 

Minimalism is one thing, but you can not call something bloated from the UI alone. Programming has a lot of doors to reach the same goals, you can uphold certain priorities while writing your code. Obviously Chrome engineers felt it was worth it to sacrifice memory for speed and stability (Each tab being its own thread, for example, which is a bloat feature in a stable program.).

That is an extremely old and useless benchmark. Chrome is now on version 10.0.648.205, and I can barely make it go to 250MB on Win7 x64 with 30 tabs of this: http://www.nplay.com/BeGone/

Note also, that benchmark was done on a Vista x32 system, which had tons of memory management and allocation problems built into the OS...

Each tab being on it's own is not just for unstable programs, it is just a ton less likely to cause errors. I have yet to see any program besides Chrome be called "bloated" for using multiple processes.

Bioshock 2.

Bioshock 1/2 isn't a very hardware intensive game... Try something a little higher up the hardware level. (like BFBC2, or Crysis 2)

Torrenting Black Hawk Down, and The Hurt Locker. (I own them already, so nothing illegal with my torrenting today)
