Windows 7 is coming along soon too - can't wait to play with the new features. Vista has been very smooth over the past 2 and a half years (with a few bumps, one called Creative *shakes fist at that shitty company*) and if everything I hear about Windows 7 is true, it will be quite fun.

Be glad she wasn't using a real live mouse *laughs* I mean, "turn it over and see if it's a little dirty" and "see if the mouse's balls are dirty and clean them" might have been a bit too much for the little mouse *laughs*.

Blame Steam and Valve. The original price for Steam was $30. Valve raised it. CD Projekt who made Witcher admitted that they had no say in the final price. In Europe, you could buy both Witcher and the Enhanced edition for 25 euros from the day of release. Brilliant game and the fact that the...

Hey what do you expect from the nation that would give a gun to a kid but tell him playing games is evil and seeing a nipple will see him go to hell :p.

Half Life 1 + expansions were amazing games 11 years ago but they *have* aged. The lack of physics, blurry textures, etc. may harm the experience compared to what the game felt like 11 years ago. The good thing is, that the combat is still fun. Don't expect the expansions to last long though.

Wow, it's free here in most schools. Heck, my colleague's son wants to learn to play accordion and renting one for an entire year costs $50. Lessons are free. It's all funded by the government to promote the development of the children even for poor families. Soccer, basketball, swimming, etc...

First of all, the writer deserves a kick for using the word "frugal" so many times - it's like he discovered a new word and wants to break it in *facepalm* Second of all, what a big load of shit. Did you take a look at that list of measures they take? • Biking and walking rather than...

We don't have Netflix here and DVD rental stores are still barely staying in business. DVDs are $6-10 to buy, so why would you pay $4 to rent them? Not to mention that late fees would make it more expensive to rent than to buy and then there's the cost of driving there in the first place every...

I didn't say TTF - I meant fonts in general. Trust me, I work in a printing office and we have over 100.000 designs with thousands of different fonts and we've had MAJOR font issues from day 1. The reason you won't have any problems, is because you're not using artwork made on a different Mac...

Oh, I didn't mean to say he HAD to use DIVs but it's a good practice to at least try to, because of the advantages. And embedded fonts won't happen any time soon. Even in the graphics industry, fonts are still a sore spot. Fonts are ridiculously expensive to buy - you will easily pay...

Interesting question because it makes you consider what you have forgotten in your life and why. My view has always been that you forget things due to lack of reflection. The mind remembers because you remember if that makes sense. If you think back to your childhood a lot, to certain parts...

Ironically, I had a real hard time finding a job because I was overqualified for everything except for the stuff I was underqualified for *facepalm*. Companies didn't want to hire someone who would leave and go for a better job in the future so they don't hire overqualified people. I argued...

More than just influences :p - the swirling sky is a direct HL2 Citadel rip off - the people in white suits use combine sounds ripped from the game - the flying gunship is very very VERY similar to the ships you had in HL2 - silent actor (Gordon never said a word or sound even when shot)...

Being single sucks because society makes it suck. Personally, I was enjoying my life until people started going "you still don't have a girlfriend?" "It's time you found yourself a girl!" etc. I'm sorry, but I realised 10 years ago that my life isn't very compatible with that of the huge...

Heh, so many audiophiles are addicted to placebos. When you reach a certain level, it becomes so hard to even improve the sound just a little it's almost impossible to hear. A colleague of mine at work once got angry at me because I told him he was crazy when he said that MP3s at 320kpbs...

Jesus, it's illegal to ask such info on a job application here! I know the idea behind it - to avoid you having ex-criminals as friends but what idiot would actually list them if he knew?

Overplaying music and constant coverage can kill anything - I agree. Also, Beatles fans tend to be ... quite outspoken about it. I think having respect for a band for what they achieved is all that's needed - not everyone has to love the same music. Myself, I rate Queen a lot higher even if they...

Nicely done with a small budget but some parts really made me cringe. The heavy HL2 influences (or shameless rip offs, really) don't really thrill me that much as it might thrill others.

I've grown to respect the Beatles over the years (used to really dislike a lot of their music as a kid due to it getting overplayed - especially the big ones like Hey Jude) but they're still not really for me. I think a lot of it stems from the fact that I really don't really like Paul...

If your hard drive got fried, it would be quite a miracle if the mobo & cpu were undamaged. In any case, I would never ever connect a new hard drive to a mobo hit by lightning. There's a high possibility of it damaging your new hard drive as well. Not to mention that USB ports may have become...
