I haven't tryed FFXI, but it looks kinda washed-out, although rich in detail, the colors don't look nearly as vibrant and alive as WoW. Hope you're having fun either way. Those screenshots I posted are from a washed-out looking area, devoid of most life. There some absolutely, jaw-dropping landscap...

1000 points per day, wow. Though I wonder what X's machines do. Oh wait, I think my head would explode thinking about it.

Congrats, Ice.

I went and installed the regular version, and it looks like it should be fine. Sets its own priority to Lowest, so any other process should be able to grab whatever time it needs.

Ran a little bit of stuff, and didn't notice any sort of slowness or hiccups.

Just recently (finally!) completed my first unit on my iMac "server". It's a 333MHz G3, so it's not exactly a screamer. I'm looking at what I want to do on my 2400+ desktop, but I hope to at least get the screensaver version running, if the full-time version doesn't surrender enough proces...

The x800 is about twice as fast as the 9800, they are far from the same class. Well, by "class" I meant the general "level" within ATI's lineup. I do see the X800 as in the same "family" (better word for it?) as the 9800. Of course it's a new design, but it's the flags...

Yeah, if anyone would know, it'd be Nagromme. He's usually hooked up. Last I knew, anyway, I've basically been AWOL from the Mac Clan for a long time.

Quit the Mac-bashing, people. I don't care if you were bitten by neighbor's Mac when you were walking by, the blind flaming needs to stop. I gamed just fine on my Mac. I can't play much of anything on it now, but that's more the fault of my 8-year-old computer than "no games are on the Mac"...

I have a Belkin G router that I'm currently using as an access point (signal wouldn't go through the walls well enough). It's okay, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably go with something else. (The signal issue could just be my house, but it's pretty crazy that I can't get a signal ver...

Use middle mouse button to open links into a new tab. Very useful, especially in reading a BB. Just go down a list, middle click the topic you want to read, then tab over and read each one. That's what I like doing. Just middle-click all the topics I want, then read the thread and close the tab whe...

What we should do is to get the elections set up, let the Iraqis choose whoever they want, offer the victor our help (only if they want it) in getting the initial government set up, then get the hell out and see how it goes. But most likely, if the people choose someone our government doesn't like, ...

Heh, they say Firefox is vulnerable, but I tested it five times, and mine didn't show symptoms.

oh, so Toyota is responsible for the "Scion" line?!? Damn things look like shoeboxes on wheels. I guess that would be ghetto since thats what they're going for apparently. Ugly ugly ugly. You didn't know that? Scion is supposed to be Toyota's "teen" line. You know, "hip&quo...

That's pretty odd, why would they care about the DBB?

But there the user is, registered for the past month. Odd.

Well, to some, VW ownership might not be any better than Ford ownership.

Or how about Fiat's ownership of Ferrari? (He's right about Ford's ownership of Jaguar and Volvo, though.)

Um, actually, it's owned by Volkswagen.

Creator would be politically correct and we can't be having that now Plebeian :P "Heavenly Body" forbid.... :lol: No execption....I just view it as another "God of the gaps". Putting God into a spot thats unexplained. Also, even atheists begin to get worried when they get older....

Plebeian

Not true.... He certainly believes in a God, though he makes it clear that it's not the same God of the "big three" religions. Maybe "Creator" would have been a better term, as that may not have quite so many of the same connotations as "God". Interesting to note that ...

I think you were reading a bit much into it. I don't see so much spousal worship as just sincere appreciation for the kind of person she is. When you find that someone who's just right for you, looking back, life without them wouldn't be as... well, I could probably try to argue it, but we'll just h...

laptop > butter!!!1eleventy-millions

So, uh, congrats about the laptop, sucks about the whole "still need butter" thing. Such a useful ingredient and all.

Plebeian

I can vouch for these being pretty decent little laptops. Had a 2145US that I used for a while. Not a bad little "budget"-type machine. :) (I "sold" mine to my sister-in-law as a school computer when I was looking at upgrading to a more heavy-duty notebook.) Good luck on selling ...

This is a very skewed poll. Either you have to support the invasion of korea or iran, or both, or you have to have previously supported the invasion of Iraq. This gives no means for those who would not support any of the above options to express themselves other than by not voting. As mentioned sev...

As for Christmas, that bothers me for the same reason, because it's the same BS, but Christmas actually has very unchristian roots, I learned. It was adapted to "christianity" by the Catholic church.. the tree has it's origins in some pagan practice involving trees (tree worship?). Yep, t...

Finally, I dislike people who consider themselves "Christian", while dismally failing to live up to the least precept of their "Faith". You know who I mean. The Social Christians. The hypocritical, back-stabbing "born again" Sunday School Brigade...Church is NOT High S...

What the "sometimes called" bit is referring to is that instead of people calling it a "scramjet", they'll call it an "air-breathing engine". People don't always use the same terms for things, so this would link the two terms. It's like there's quite a few terms for a &...

I'm still not sure whether I like the original or director's cut better. I think that David Twohy was a complete dork in his little 10-second intro, but I'll ignore that for now. ;) It's hard to say because some of the changes do change the story some (or at least our impressions and thoughts). It's...

As if Engrish wasn't bad enough, here's the Babelfish translation for Ice. (オンキヨー = Onkiyou = Onkyo, but that's pretty apparent anyway.) The オンキヨー first 7.1ch sound card "SE-150PCI" where the large-sized condenser stands close together was sold. As for actual sale price 13,408 Yen - 14,800...

Ooh, speaking of salt, when boiling the noodles, put a little salt and oil into the water (not a lot, just a little bit). The oil will help the noodles not stick together (and add some flavor, so pick a kind you like), and the salt helps add a little flavor to the noodles, as well. (I want to say th...

I know, just Newman's is a better backup than run-of-the-mill Prego, in my mind at least. :D Sauce isn't all the hard to do, so he shouldn't need backup, but it's good to have a jar just in case, or if you just don't have the time to make your own. (Also a good way of seeing what you might like in y...

Yep, this whole immigration thing is seriously broken. People who try to use the system either may be denied access, or given a visa (but not a work visa, so they can't legally work here), while those that jump the border end up living and working here without any sort of penalties. I'm not saying, ...

Firefox is based off the Mozilla code, usually branching off the "last Mozilla release" code. At least that's how it had been. Firefox is the browser component from Mozilla (1.5, I think the latest is based off), just streamlined more. Mozilla is the entire suite (browser, email client, us...

I definitely agree, Birds. I know I could never figure out Kerry, and just couldn't bring myself to vote for him (despite tending to lean toward the Dems usually). He scared me since I could never figure out just what was going on in his head. He seemed like he was too distant from "normal"...

Plebeian

Well, as he's "stepped down gracefully" as it were, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility. May not happen, but I don't see it as impossible. If he fought tooth-and-nail and wouldn't back down until it was driven home that Bush did have the majority win (if that did turn out to ...

It just seems so plausible that he's only trying to set himself up as the super bi-partisan/American of the next election, or whatever else he may be after. That's in the back of my mind, as well. None of what he's said has ever sat really well with me, he just seems almost like a robot or somethin...

Doens't matter who won, Tricord. We still lose. Yep, neither candidate was a really good choice, so we got the fun of voting for who we thought would screw up the country less than the other. At least with another term of Bush (IMO), nothing should really change that much (we already know what he's...
