Quote from major_syphillis :
These countries despise any form of free speech, free religion, homosexuality, and any kind of media. They are irrational and harbor many terrorists. Why do you think Saddam was hung and by whom?

Saddam was hung because the Americans went in. They were hung by the Iraqi Government, which is being propped up by the Americans.

Quote from major_syphillis :
I agree with you. Very well put. He is an icon. But you don't know how he was raised and who his influences were. Do you know that he followed Rev. Wright for 20 years, attended weekly sermans and donated to his church. Watch this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqbA5c21zrQ Watch Obama trying to denounce Wright.

He was denouncing, not disowning. Two totally different things. To denounce is to criticise a set of remarks. To disown is to totally seperate yourself from someone. I'm no fan of religion but I'm not going to criticise Obama for having a pastor with them beliefs. Obama's beliefs are his own.

Quote from major_syphillis :
Ever hear of Karl Marx and Marxism? Obamas mentour? If you have patience this is a great video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNS_1ZoJWWg

And the Marxism is where? That just looks like a hate-inciting video to me.


Quote from major_syphillis :
Obama is far from being a centrist. He is the most liberal president elect. that we have ever seen. No way that he will ever change.

Liberalism is a hell of a change from the Bush Doctrine.

Quote from major_syphillis :
Many countries in the world like China, Russia, Saudi, Iran, Syria, NK, Somalia, Pakistan, Uganda, Cuba, Venezuela and more are rolling w laughter as the American public has been duped into voting for a weak inexperienced Communist President.

Have you actually seen any coverage from these countries or are you just making that up?

Quote from major_syphillis :
This is an international embarassment.

No, this is an international celebration.

Quote from major_syphillis :
I didn't like McCain, I think he'll do more good as a senator than president. Palin was just a bad joke. But Obama is so far out there it's scary. Become educated about who is going to be your president instead of just watching tv and listening to his empty promises on how he will fix everything

You're scared of someone who is a great presence on the world stage before he's elected? These "empty" promises actually have some realistic chance of happening, now the Democrats have majorities in both the Senate and the House.

Quote from major_syphillis :
Yeah, cause missles pointed straight at America is a great thing. Pretty much clueless. Russia is led by an ex KGB sociopath and communist, Putin. You do not know his next move, remember the cold war? And now we have to deal with Dmitry Medvedev, another commie. He is also trying to pass a 6 year term so he can be in power for 12 years instead of 8. Great news for the world

I'm not going to doubt that. However, I think that if McCain had have got in he'd have been likely to start a war that would annoy Russia even more. Bad news.

Quote from major_syphillis :
Obama has no clue on how to be a diplomat. I assume you know history. Has any president in the past been successful on solving problems with diplomacy, especially with someone like Putin. It ain't that easy, and Obama is going to get a reality check that you can't solve everything with diplomacy. Or the world would have been a peaceful place all along.

Again, I'm not going to argue with the fact that it won't be easy. It's not, but the chances that Obama can pull it off are greater than the chances that McCain could have.

Quote from major_syphillis :
Dude, you're from a communist state.

Just because he is does not make him Communist himself. Stop making judgements you cannot make.



Quote from major_syphillis :
All in all, he is my next President and I hope that he can do what he promises. But his past is really shady and you cannot believe anything a politician says. The popular vote was almost 50/50. The next 4 years are gonna be tough for Obama. But I just hope he gets his head set on straight cause he has no clue what he is getting himself into. Most of the promises he made during his campaign will come up empty, just like with every other president in the past.

I was at the rally for Obama in Chicago last night. And his speech was very powerful, I just hope he lives up to what he promises.

Long live the US and may the world prosper. Love you all

+1 on the hope. I hope he's up to it. Which he is, IMO.

I want nothing. Yes, you heard it. Nothing.

Reasons: Christmas is too commercialised. The reason for it to exist is no longer seen by the vast majority of the country and since I don't believe said original reason I don't see why gifts should be given (or received). Also, it causes SO MANY rows when unequal amounts of effort are put in. Not worth it.

Quote from Shadowww :Wine is Open Source, isn't it possible to rebuild it on PS3?

As I said, differing architectures. Wine Is Not an Emulator. It merely translates system calls. So no, it wouldn't work

WINE: Different architecture (PPC vs x86) The code simply won't run.
Emulators: Simply too slow to emulate both a processor and a 3D card (in fact, 3D acceleration hasn't even been started in emulators). Maybe if someone works out how to use all the cores of the Cell on the PS3 then it would be possible. The emulation would have to be *really* good, however.

Quote from dadge :ok, i have just popped on to see what pinky and the brain have been up to. now i'm running slightly late for work so i will keep it short.
george, what makes you think i was talking about bus width and not bit rate? after all, both are relevent to this thread but yet you insist i have gotten my words mixed up. on what post did i mention bus width?
Do you understand the importance of reading things correctly and understanding them before you comment on it?


bit rate: The number of bits transmitted per unit of time. (the one i was talking about). i even googled it just to make sure i was correct. here's what google says "measurement unit that quantifies the flow of bits per second."
bus width:The number of bits which are carried simultaneously by a bus. 16 for the ISA bus and 32 or 64 for the PCI bus.(the one you insist i am talking about)
and incase you still have not got it.
I was actually talking about bitrates.

No, you weren't. You were quoting a bus width (that is, a number of bits with no time unit). In terms of graphics card and memory bit rate is not a valid phrase for anything. You're looking for "bandwidth". But again, in this case you were referring to a bus width (ie 256, 512 bit). Now, can we all just STFU about this topic and help the OP?

EDIT: I see you've realised you were wrong and edited your post. Nice

Quote from evilpimp :Ouchhhh that sucks really badly for him :S!!

Btw who was the renault that spun was it Alonso or Piquet?

Meh SC in lap 1 surprise surprise. Hamilton handled the pressure well 'nuff in T1 since he didn't dive bomb or die I guess. Looking good for him for now heh.

It was Piquet. Alonso's in 6th at the moment.

Quote from Becky Rose :aha, opting out of real life for a few years. I never did that myself, although I did skip reality (though I had to hold a job down to afford all the drugs). It still amases me where students get the cash for their hedonistic lifestyle from. I hope you have a wild time.

There'll be no wild time here - spent a good chunk of student loans on a new PC (I DID need it...), so now can't really afford the lifestyle of the nutter! It's good so far, although boring - all the stuff we're doing so far is stuff I already know!

Oh I can't complain! Moved over to Hull to start Uni, got free of parents at last () All is good over here!

As for lerts, despite my post I think we should all just ignore his threads. He'll eventually get bored and move on.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Did have a look. Scared and confused me (with the layout and all) so I made a hasty navigation to the 'back' arrow

By the way, what's with the mini-links, such as http://is.gd/EUN. Some sort of network block bypass?

is.gd is a URL shortening service, nothing more, it just forwards to the actual URL. </offtopic>

Anyway, anyone I know well enough to see my Facebook gets added on there. Anyone else gets my Twitter account (or Plurk, depending on which they use) - they use my Second Life name, so noone really finds out too much about me from them.

Quote from george_tsiros :ok, get the tech, give him money...

and what will you get? I mean, for the money that you will give him?

how about... instead of giving money to overclock an already fast enough cpu... you use the extra money to get a faster graphics card, which is just what your machine needs...

I agree. A nice 4850 wouldn't do any harm at all. In fact, it'd do all manner of good. I say get one.

Quote from jonny dank :what do you think my cpu is capable of if i overclock it? 4+ghz?

You said yourself you're not experienced at all with computer hardware. If I were you I wouldn't overclock at all - you're liable to do damage to your hardware if you try and push it too far. It's fine as it is

Quote from Shadowww :Pentium IV 3.2 ghz will get better framerates than this.
Know why? Because LFS don't support multi-cores.

No it won't. The P4 was extremely badly designed - Netburst was a failure for Intel. A 2.4GHz Q6600 is (even in single threaded apps) faster than a 3.2GHz P4, simply because of architectural superiority. Core 2 didn't just multiply the number of cores, you know

EDIT: Tom's Hardware chart seems to back me up (UT2004 is single threaded, too)
