I've got all his albums (plus an EP I bought. Remarkable.) Have you got Diverse Systems of Throb? I think it's quite new. Or old. Anyhow, I don't think it's very known.

When I was in Chicago, we actually ate at an Outback Steakhouse (mostly due to the proximity of our hotel). Great food, and more importantly lots of it. Then again, American portions always seem huge to us :3. We had a great waitress too. Come to think of it, that's probably one of the best chain-whatever meals I've ever had.
Free education should be the basis of all democracies. Naturally, all education should be free (e.g. tuition fees are universally abolished).
That's always been my firm belief. If it works here, it'd work anywhere.

But nothing this generation will be a "Wii-killer", because the Wii targets a completely different audience.Actually, Natal seems to be targeting the casual audience much more than the regular X360. I don't know about "wii-killer", since the wii already has a fairly solid market position, but it definitely looks cool.
I'd just kill the other family and eat them, especially if they're ugly. You could leave them there, but I hate seeing good food go to waste like that.I literally lol'd. Quite loudly.
...and flooded by n00b entries of the decompilled map.I doubt it, considering decompilation produces next-to-useless results. Regarding the dam idea, outdo this.
You offended me, and my lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Turd.

Everyone on this site is an asshole, including Ant, Penguinboy, Kasperg and you, the person reading this. You suck, and I hate you.

To potatis_invalid: You keep saying "doesn't work without JavaScript". You make it sound like if it's a problemOh boy. Read up on graceful degradation in favour of (and this is important) accessability. Of course, this mandates proper use of web standards for both HTML and CSS (by the way, seperating the layers of a web site is warmly recommended, both in terms of accessibility and maintenance of a site) . Trust me, it will make life a lot easier regarding cross browser computability, error tracking and the ever-so-important SEO in the long run.
I know this might be a lot to take in and consider at first case, but start by learning proper, valid, semantic HTML (it's not hard), styled by valid CSS and the rest will come easy. Especially if you hang around useful help channels like #css and #html on freenode, or read useful tutorials on sites like htmldog.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.aspAvoid w3schools. They're not affiliated with W3 and have been known to advice bad practice as well as using examples containing syntax errors. There're better sources (like the W3 specs).
Because of the nature of a Vent server, there might actually be more activity in it than the IRC chan, which is dead most of the time.The only time #twhl3 is active is during Aussie-hours, which is never.
Needs more web standards. Get rid of tables for layout, for starters, they're old.

Also, TWHL and religion, haha.What, this forum has a great history of religion-debate threads. Well, sort of. Maybe.
Totally, like, religion. Who needs it?
Regarding hell and shit, from what I've read hell is not literal brimstone and hellfire, but is rather a parable for the absence of God. Eg. it's a separation from God according to the choice you made in life. That's how I remember it, anyway.
GJ to satchmo. Luckily, we live in a society where freedom of religion doesn't run so far you can willingly endanger the life of your child. The next logical step is to ban circumcision.

The difference between the Trojan War and the Red Cliff battle is that the Chinese conflict has extensive historical documentation. That single battle determined the course of Chinese history and founded the Three Kingdom era.What does the Trojan War have to do with 300?
The Trojan War was based primarily on mythology.
The Battle of Thermopylae has quite an extensive historical record.
War is awesome.
PCI graphic cards have not been used for more than a decade - the current standard slot is called PCI-Express
Looking up that motherboard, it seems to have an AGP 8x port, which means no PCI-Express graphics for you. Look up graphics cards supporting AGP instead (there are still a few decent alternatives). Preferably, you should upgrade your motherboard, along with your CPU - AGP is getting incredibly old.
The RAM supported for your motherboard is DDR - again, very old technology. The newest stuff today has DDR3 support, a full 2 versions above your motherboard. If you really want to keep the motherboard, look up DDR RAM sticks.

for is like a simplified version of while. You can accomplish for loops easily with a while loop - consider for-loops like a shortcut.
int i = 0;
while(i < 10) {
i++;
cout << "i has value: " << i;
}
[/pre] is EXACTLY the same as [pre]
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
cout << "i has value: " << i;
}
Stop learning useless windows functions and start learning programming for real. Start by getting in-depth knowledge of object oriented programming - make your own classes and instantiate your own objects, and get comfortable with it.
A task we had in programming class while doing basic OOP was make your own simple card deck - start with a Card object with appropriate properties and methods, then move onto a Deck object, consisting of, perhaps, an array of Card objects.
I thought this was a pretty good way to get the hang of what you could do with OOP without the program getting too complicated. Mind, I'm not very good with C++, and I don't think I ever will be. Fucking annoying code. Anyway, if you want my old deck classes for reference or something, I'll poast.
Edit: Oh, and when posting code, use

Haha.
Well sure, it's a nice monitor, but you only have one of them.Staring into a HDTV from 2 feet away all day burns your eyes. Most HDTVs are meant to be looked at from sofa-distance, they're way too strong to sit so close to.
Mass Effect for PC works fine. I've played through all of it personally without any problems.
Unless your like me and the fix crashes your machine.Combo breaking asshole! Plus, erroneous use of possessive pronouns, isn't that a bannable offence?
It's also a good program for mounting virtual discs. Seriously though, I had not heard of this book, but it sounds... interesting. Da Vinci-like thriller involving gaming as a plot twist? Unexpected!
If you like the game, play it and enjoy it. If you don't, gtfo and stfu (or tits?).
Now let's post our steam names so we can all maek frendz and play with each other (in a non-naughty way(?)):

I believe there's a fair amount of people on TWHL I don't have on my list yet. Go go go add!

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a fairly old CPU. If you plan on upgrading, why not go for a CPU upgrade too?
Bought the game yesterday for 22.5E. Me and friends decided to buy it 
. Definitely worth this price.

Or if you can't be arsed warezing a real video editor. Seriously, those things have annoying DRM, especially Adobe products!
I can definitely see the use of this for frequent travellers who need to access relatively large amounts of data from anywhere, when working or whatever. But replace the desktop? Lame exaggeration.
For us gamers it doesn't really change anything - we'll still need both our hard drives and desktop computers.

Used to play (on European realm). Started/stopped playing like 8 times, I've had like lvl 90~ chars of almost every class.
It won't run Crysis on Very HighYes it will. Running Core 2 Duo E8500 here with Crysis nigh-maxed (dropped the AA). Runs fine. Warhead, even better.
Graphics cards are more important than CPUs regarding gaming (I have an 8800 GT).
srry makes a good point. There's no way in which you could defend yourself against corrupt politics with a handgun. The argument is ridiculous.
I'm not saying there aren't consequences to gun ownership, but there's a lot more to the picture than just that.Of course. But increased gun control is one of the factors that will likely bring crime down (again, over a longer period of time).
Do we have to get all touchy-feely about criminals? They get what they deserve, it's called justice.First off, we were talking about insane people, who really don't deserve punishment at all. Second, the death penalty is as unethical as murder.
I made a fat edit to my post but potatis went and ruined it as I was typing. Asshole.
Anyway, yes, the US has a much more violent culture than other countries - and I'm making the case that it wouldn't be as bad if there had been stricter gun control from the beginning. I know you're all very proud of your founding fathers trying to protect their people from the govt., but the scenario doesn't really apply to modern society. We don't have imperial Brits running around trying to take over anymore. There is a price to pay for liberal gun laws; just compare the US to most other western nations in terms of violent crime and you'll notice the difference.

When you commit a crime so heinous--in this case killing your damn parents--, I think the issue should be one of public safety.Closed medical care. I reiterate: insane people cannot be held completely responsible for their actions, but should of course be removed from society as a matter of public safety. The judicial system doesn't really hold up with insane people; our whole concept of justice is based on people being held responsible for their actions. If you've got a mental condition and really can't separate right from wrong, you can't be treated the same as a sane person. The crime is still as heinous, but the criminal is less responsible.
Captain Terror and Luke, you're basically Hitler, fyi.
Also, an unarmed public is just asking for a corrupt government to walk all over them.Give me one example of a modern democracy that's been turned into dictatorship because of a lack of firearms. Mind, most western democracies employ a much stricter gun control than the US. For the rest of your post, did you even read mine? And not just the TL;DR part.
Is it just me or is far cry 2 an incredibly bad game?
The education systems in Japan and China are almost universally superior to those in western countries, if we're to look at just knowledge attained - especially in maths. They have a radically different teaching methodology, as previously mentioned, and it's not because they're "run like strict regimes", but more often because they employ better pedagogics. True, the pressure to succeed in Japanese schools is often much higher than here, and there are of course downsides to their system, but don't be so hasty in proclaiming it's "because they're a bunch of fascists". With that attitude, it's no wonder the western world is slipping up.
Oh, and just about any "the problem with America..." argument in this thread could be applied to any western nation.

If he, himself, can not judge right from wrong, than he can die in jail and I hope he does.No, if he, himself, cannot judge right from wrong he has a serious mental condition and deserves mental care, not jail time. His insanity case basically wrote itself the moment he shot both his parents for not being allowed to play a game.
Everyone posting stuff like "I hope he dies/rots/gets life", whatever, sort of scares me. This is clearly a case of insanity, and being so, the defendant cannot be held completely responsible for his actions. Yes, he needs to be institutionalised and receive some help, but jail time won't solve anything, except getting him off the streets - something institutionalising would do too.
Regarding gun control...
In fact, the FBI's latest crime report shows, that despite gun ownership in the US being at an all-time high, murders are down 43% since 1991, and violent crime has dropped 38%. Also, versus national average, right-to-carry states (states that allow you to carry a firearm in public) have a 28% lower murder rate, 50% fewer robbery incidents, and 24% lower overall violent crime rates.What you need to do is compare countries without a history of incredibly liberal gun laws to the US. I suspect you'll find stricter gun policies go hand in hand with lower murder and violent crime rates.
Outlawing guns now would likely not have much of an effect on violent crime in the US, seeing as how every criminal already owns a gun - there's already an established culture of gun ownership. However, enabling stricter gun control over a longer period of time would probably help... good luck making that case in the US, though.
TL;DR countries with better gun control > the US.
Quite a collection.
That's pretty ridiculous, satchmo. It's not like China exports clean water or even food goods. Sure, a lot of economies'd collapse, but half the world dead within a week? -.-
