I heard there's a character named "Striker". I wonder if he specializes in not letting others to cut him.

It's a mystery.

I've got a pair of Pioneer SE-M290(the over the ear cup type, with bass ducts) I've paid about 30 euro. Best damn bang for buck, I have them since 2012 and they're still rocking. The sound is awesome for the money too. But an audio card can make the difference. They certainly sound better on my Asus Xonar DS( ~40ish euro) than on my onboard laptop sound card.

I'm not an audiophile, just a normal music listener, so take my opinion as it is.

I find this highly subjective.

The new site look is definitely best suited for the dual-article approach. I saw the last article about James Cameron's Terminator 2( which I totally agree was the best film he produced), and the text spanning the whole screen seems a bit tiresome.

There's this modern web style current I don't know to put in words, but your site totally adopts it. In some ways, it's clean and very nice. But for a guy like me that grew and learn about the internet in a time when forums where still heavily used(2007-2010 when the web 1.0 to 2.0 transition kinda was at its end), it seems overly simplified. Don't mean to be a hypocrite, I adopted this theme style on my blog too. Just my feeling that we're having too many websites that are too picturesque but lack that interactive feeling. They feel too...simple. Like having some limited information on the last page of a weekly magazine.
The accent put on the "now" is too damn high. In the past sites used to have more of an archival approach, now it's hard to go through older articles.

This is just some rambling that got out of control and might not be related to your site :)).

A very beautiful map, although I never played RP in Garry's Mod. I really like the balanced spaceship atmosphere, but it lacks sound. It's kind of bland without it.

You have a bunch of missing textures, and I have installed ep1 and ep2. Even the planet that can be seen through the windows has a missing texture.

The architecture and overall texturing is outstanding though.

You could be a great voice actor.

I want to hear you say "We're gonna have Burgers for lunch mate!" in a voice as Scottish as possible.
Then switch to a German accent.

If Android was instead an OS written in Assembly, I would probably be able to compute trajectories for satellites, control space ships, interpret telemeter data and possibly have a local AI that is sufficiently powerful to be able to run a small country - in 2 words, rocket science - on my S4.

But Android is a software developed by humans with the purpose of being useful and practical for as many people as possible.

Your old phone is just a small collateral victim.

Try Cyanogen instead.

Haven't mapped for quite some time but this journal made me think about a thing:

Is there any "NOT" gate in GoldSource? Because if yes, you could build a NAND. And NAND gates are a basis for everything.

That's like saying to a failed bomb explosion that instead only burns "that's what happens when you work with things that are flammable" :P.

Aren't they using reconditioned USSR rockets as old as 60'? If that's the case, I see where the problem is coming.

I've seen Nexus 5 at a colleague of mine. I don't like how it looks, plus you'd think because of its thickness it would have more performance and battery life but that's not the case.
Installing a fresh android(or cyanogen) on this one is just a matter of breaking the warranty, which I'm not sure of how it works yet.
What is Blue Point?
Commented 10 years ago2014-10-25 07:18:52 UTC in journal: #8453 Comment #58456
not really. apps+OS. This is something you can change though.
[EDIT] I think it has a different "System Storage" that is 9 GB out of which 1.84GB is used by the OS and currently installed apps. The other 8-9GB are the "general purpose" ones I guess.

Never mind all the crazy cool stuff it comes packed with, I just stare at the screen absent minded. The colors and the contrasts are out of this world.

I installed Shuttle and it's indeed awesome through its simplicity. Probably gonna keep it.

Can you recommend me a memory card(16GB or 32GB) that strikes a balance between quality/price/battery consumption? I know that the higher performance ones can drain the battery faster.
I need a memory card because the device has 16GB, but I can only use about 8GB because of its custom Samsung apps. I'm also afraid to install a clean Android or Cyanogen mod, I could void the warranty or something.

I will check this out later, I'm at work now. If it's interesting perhaps I will invest some money in buying a couple of cells from dx.com or some site that sells them cheaply.

In the ancient mythology of TWHL it said that DiscoStu got so mad at the heart warming cats that he threw them in the sky. It is now known as the constellation of Lyssa, the embraced kitties in a heart shape.

I have a GeForce 4 on a Pentium 2 lol.(I used to play Counterstrike in multiplayer on this, oh what pain...)
The good stuff that comes with a newer graphics cards isn't only gaming. It has built-in HDMI, so I don't have to complicate myself with DVI-to-HDMI connectors when trying to plug the computer in a TV. It also has some weird "display-port" connector, but what the heck do you use that for?
The hardware acceleration on youtube actually works every time now.
Rendering and editing in hardware-accelerated programs is faster!

The power consumption of the PC also dropped from ~90W to ~55W in idle.

I was just saying Crysis as the good old joke, but I can enjoy a lot of newer games on the bigger screen, games that would only run on my Nvidia 650m 1600x900 laptop. And the older ones run fluently as fuck.

And this isn't even mid-range, I believe it's the higher point of entry-level cards.
