Quote from tristancliffe :

XP drivers will become a problem to find in about 8 years. They might not be updated any more, but they will be EASILY available - just as drivers for 98 are still (notwithstanding the same architecture of XP).

Could you find any G25 drivers for Win98?

I mean, no problem in the next 5 years (even more I think), companies will be releasing WinXP specific drivers (I bet most of the Vista drivers also works on XP :shrug. But if you plan to stuck with XP and no taking any newer SO, if you buy new hardware then probably you will have no drivers...

I have had Vista at work for two weeks, then I moved to Kubuntu after being pissed of crashes and low performance (Web development, software designing and some Java coding mostly).
Then I have had Vista at home (new PC) and get some problems too so I moved back to XP and I will stay with it for now . Anyway, most of the time at home I use Ubuntu, so no real problem for me

I also think Vista is the new ME ... let's see if Windows 7 is the new XP

Quote from flymike91 :

When have I ever called myself a man of peace?

Post #111 , let's re-read it:

Quote from flymike91 :

My quick take on morality: The bible preaches love for all, not to say that that always happens, but can you really expect every atheist parent to teach that same sort of morality? They might teach "love everybody, but not those damn mexicans" Nobody has perfect morals, and therefore cannot teach morality to anyone else. It is assumed that the bible was written by people that were above any twisted view of morality. No commandment says "love thy neighbor, except that one"

So a few days ago your mouth were filled with those nice words about "love for all" and "No commandment says 'love thy neighbor, except that one'". Now it seems those were empty phrases or you really want to believe and act behind those lines but you're not able to, so you're a self-called-christian "because I like to but don't expect me to act behinf Jesus's teachings"

Ok let's see that in your own words:

Quote from flymike91 :

If you want to fight with me about the commandments I'll tell you I've been unsuccessful so far in following them. I'm not a virgin, yet I'm not married, I disobey my parents, the list goes on. I try my best do do in my own life what is right. I don't plan to physically go to the Middle East and personally wipe out jihadism.

Ok... just that christian behaviour I like so much...
You christians (and I'm talking now as an ex-christian, baptized and confirmed), really like those philosophy of love to everybody but then you let it to other people and claim to your God forgive for being imperfect :ices_rofl. That's what I call incoherent behaviour, and this was one of the reasons I stop calling myself a christian.

Quote from flymike91 :

I never said that they were guilty I said that they are a threat to Israel because of the brainwashing they have endured. Nice to see that you agree that Palestine sends children to war to die for the cause of eliminating Jews, we agree on something. Oh and again i don't call myself a man of peace, I'm not entirely sure where you got that. I'm also not sure what you think Jihad means. Jihad is NOT mainstream Islam (which I would never suggest eliminating) It is extremist Islam, which this thread has agreed is a threat. They train children and women to suicide bomb Israelis, but Israel does not. Jihadists are terrorists and I value the life of an Israeli citizen over a suicide bomber.

In a war environment the man become a beast (does your God created that for a reason? :shrug. But you are not solving that by bombing the field (as Israel does). Neither by human-bombing the field (as Palestinians does).
But behind your point of view, childrens want to kill Jews and they do it, so they are jihadist and so they might be eliminated (of course not by yourself phisically, you simply don't have the balls if you're not behind your safe computer screen).
Behind my point of view claiming for the elimination of children is nothing but pathetic and inhuman .

Quote from flymike91 :

I'm 17, more than old enough to have opinions.

Yup, opinions .
But you dont have the knowledge of the real facts, neither the history environment so your opinions are nothing more than opinions (and without fundaments they are pointless).
You'll grow up and if you bother instructing yourself you can become an open-mind person yet

Quote from flymike91 :

I think I remember you being an Atheist. PLEASE don't preach perfect Christianity to me unless you are as perfect of a Christian as you tell me to be. I find it more offensive than any of your sarcastic condescending remarks. You seem to love scripture so here's one: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" I think it is acceptable to ask an Atheist not to preach Christianity.

I have a little candy for you when you stop crying

Quote from flymike91 :

One of the main reasons I don't believe conspiracy theorists is because the US government would never kill 5,000 of our own people. Period.

:ices_rofl
But your government thinks that US soldiers dying to "liberate" Iraq and Afghanistan are well worth, uh?

Quote from Hankstar :

Contrast: latest from my current band From The Ashes. Debut album in progress. Pro studio, up & coming producer, pro everything (professional pricing too, oh boy - hope we sell some bloody records :zombie.

Thanks mate, many wasted hours

I really like it!! :wow:

The quality of the sound/production is awesome too
Keep working and let us now if you tour on Spain

Quote from migf1 :

Guys, the cars' limit is also set by the setup. So no, you do NOT have to drive within the 1-2 sec range off the wr in order to get the feeling of the car. Not everyone is using a wr setup (and shouldn't do if he just wants to see the fundamental characteristics of the car).

I absolutely disagree.

With a decent setup it's just in the driver's hands to enter in bench times (103% of the WR). A WR setup just give you the final tenths, but it's the driver the one that pushes the times to a WR pace.

Quote from wark :

Apes are not monkeys.

From Wikipedia:
Because of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are often called "monkeys" in informal usage, though they are not monkeys

I embrace the "informal usage" excuse

Team skin and my personal Helmet :uglyhamme

Quote from Hankstar :

I love Fruity Loops (www.ekranoplan.org - click "tunes", fear the robots)

I like it!
Specially x-lo-fi, nice work!

Quote from flymike91 :

They actively try to kill Israeli civilians, but you only decide to see the Palestinian militants killed (anyone who decides to harm Israel is a militant, not a civilian). Not even children can be given the benefit of the doubt. By voting Hamas as the government, they are no longer seen as innocent. They are not freedom fighters, they are terrorists, their government decrees it. The majority of Palestinians would love to see every Jew dead and Israel wiped off of the map.

Considering children guilty for growing in a field of war (and even worse when they're "forced" to die in that war) it's just the worst thing I've ever heard (even worse for someone who calls himself "a man of peace") .

Quote from flymike91 :

Hamas' mission is to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible.

Quote from flymike91 :

Plus Israel has NEVER planned to kill every Muslim in Palestine unless all 1,000,000 become terrorists and actively try to kill Israeli civilians. you're being ****ing preposterous

Quote from flymike91 :

Given half a chance they would kill them all.
....
Palestine would kill every Jew ....
They will be killed in the streets like dogs....
Hamas and the people of Palestine have vowed to kill every Jew.

Quote from flymike91 :

the people who have vowed to murder every single Jew in Israel

Quote from flymike91 :

They've vowed to kill every Jew in Israel! Its in their charter!

Quote from flymike91 :

who support Hamas, which vows to kill Jews in Israel.)

So your point is that Palestinians "vows to kill Jews in Israel"... but you support eliminating every jihadist...

Can I ask how old are you?

Quote from flymike91 :

I support the elimination of Jihadist, extremist Muslims (not all muslims)

Could you please explain how you can support elimination of people while being christian?
Do you think that part of the Jesus' teaching has no value in the world nowadays?
Do you think there are people who is out of the "You musn't kill" commandment and out of the "we're all brothers as sons of God"?
Do you think you can call yourself "a man of peace" as being a christian that (as you said) it's a religion of peace and love?

That monkey is a chimpance or a gorilla?

I really hate statistics :vomit:
Last subject I passed at my engineering studies

P.S: This is more combinatory than statistic, isn't it?

Quote from flymike91 :

about the post below this: I'm sorry if I sound incoherent, I speak the best English that I can. I read Halo's "other side of the medallion website pretty thoroughly and based my arguments on data and opinions stated on the website. I really don't know what I could say to make my posts more coherent, but its obvious to me that you didn't read what I wrote, telling me that you don't respect anyone's opinion that is against yours. At least I read and think about every post and try to make a serious reply, even if I disagree. ignoring your opponent's argument is not a healthy debate. I would rather you attack my argument rather than my character.

Ok, last chance: You sound incoherent because you're talking about your religion of peace and love and blaming Islam for not being a religion of peace, but then you forget all of those nice words and begin with the "kill the infidels" argument .

So religion is nice to talk about, but when it's time to take real decisions then religion is pointless and you can kill whoever is not on your side, uh?

Other one: You have a complete distorted view of the global problems we're talking about. Your only arguments are Islam being a religion that creates terrorists (in 99%), Hamas controlling Middle East, terrorists waiting to control the earth and attacking the US and Israel being hermed by their neighbours... Although there's some truth in all of this, your view is absolutely distorted, you seem to have no real knowledge of the problems at all and an overrated sense of danger about Islam.

So all of this make me think that your opinions are worthless, and you're not listening to the reasons ALL PEOPLE HERE are giving to you

Anyway... do it at your own, I will have a nice time reading your jokes (because if I take you seriously I would be very disappointed with the human being )

Hehe as you know shipping my own car is not cheap, besides I have no car, I borrow my father´s one
So yes, my idea is to lease a car. Which one? The better one I can afford
It´s just for enjoying driving trough snowy landscapes you know, racing is not necesary for driving pleasure
Of course if the road is safe... I´ll do some rally stages Do you know where can i rent an Evo? XDD
This is a trip I have in my mind and I´d love to make whenever I can :auto:

Hehehe I supposed it

I just wanted to know if you were thinking of a Land Rover type, an Audi 4WD type, or an EVO/Impreza type

Quote from flymike91 :

nice way to avoid my entire point. It tells me you don't care enough to have an opinion.

I don't think I can make a reasonable conversation with anyone like you, so I take your posts as the comic bits between the serious discussion

If you care to read something, get some information about the external world (Did I tell you before that there's a entire world outside the US?) and stop being incoherent then maybe I will start to think of giving you some credit . Until that day your posts are completely pointless

Anyway, I've answered to what I've referred to. The rest of your post will be quoted by halo and Wsinda (in case they think it worth the time )

Quote from flymike91 :

I'm not a perfect christian in any way. I have broken many of the commandments many times. I would give terrorists the same treatment they would give me.

It's show time!!

:ices_rofl

It's nice to see how many christians spread that messages of love and peace and then with the minimum effort they make their own rules simply by saying "Hey, look at me, I can't be perfect"

Dude, I really enjoy reading you!!! Don't give it up, you make my day :yipee:

Quote from flymike91 :

I say that the US is the only country that perceives a threat because I don't see any other country making an attempt to wipe out (eliminate, kill, incapicitate, whichever verb you choose) groups like the Taliban, Al-qaeda, and Hamas.

Could you please explain how this way of solving problems or deliver peace (I mean eliminate, kill, incapicitate, whichever verb you choose) can be supported for christians (like you )?

Take a look at the 5th commandment please. Also take a look at your ancient book and Jesus's words about vengeance and forgiving.

Then look for a retarded excuse and post it here

P.S: I'm actually surprised how much some people at States are over controlled by the media

Quote from flymike91 :

What would your governments do if there was a 9/11 type of situation in your country?

If you didn't know, here at Spain we already suffer a brutal terrorist attack from extremists, being a reaction for our ex-president Aznar supporting Bush's invasion of Iraq

Does that mean we must send the police or army to the mosques and jail or kill anyone who approaches them?

The best way to deal with extremist muslims is not to get involved in their business, but for the greatest nation of the world it seems a really hard job to not pretend to teach the right way to the "poor oppresed infidel people"

Are you thinking of renting a car for the trip or are you shipping your own car?

Can we know what car will be that?

Quote from Hankstar :

the jihadists have nothing the rest of the world wants

1.- Oil
2.- Need for weapons so some countries can make lots of money providing those weapons they need.
3.- Strategic territories.

Quote from flymike91 :

Well I might as well show you my big neo-con brick.

I'm saying that whats happening now is exactly the same as what happened right before WWII. Western Europe (indeed the entire world, including most Americans) is turning a blind eye to what is obviously not a religion of peace and love but one of hate that aspires to be dominant over all other religions and governments. Its called appeasement and it is how Western Europe allowed Hitler to rise to power setting into action the events that led to WWII.

Amazing how we never really learn from history

Damn... youre really starting to scare me

Do you actually think that way at the States? I was thinking you were joking or you were a children with absolutely zero knowledge about the external world (you know, there is a entire world outside the States :nod but know you're scaring me...

You have a complete distorted view of Islam. You're confusing Islam as religion with Islam as a way to control people by totallitary and fanatic governments (and "religious" leaders). Reading your posts feels like if you spot a muslim you will 1.- Run away, 2.- Shoot at him (and then praise to your God of love to forgive him for being such an heretic ).

You also have really weird opinions about WWII detonants... What do you mean when talk about "obviously not a religion of peace and love but one of hate that aspires to be dominant over all other religions and governments"? Are you talking about jews at Germany or about Germans and an unknown religion of their own that makes him want to control the earth?

Quoting you: Amazing how we never really learn from history.
Sincerily, not so amazing if our knowledge of history it's more on the fantasy side than on the real and factual side...

Quote from flymike91 :

you can't say much to that Because it's true. I'm not making a statement about the French I'm stating my opinions on the "religion of peace"

Then I must assume that you have the very truth of things and so your opinions are truth by default :ices_rofl

I give you a Mahou

Quote from flymike91 :

Being French, I would imagine you to be as against Islam as I am, especially considering that they basically waged war against Paris by torching cars and businesses and shooting at policemen.

So... everyday after a few prayers, french muslims burnt cars and kill people

Quote from flymike91 :

I don't want people to think that Christianity is in any way comparable with Islam because in more recent generations, they have celebrated their religion by mass killings of non-believers, which is not true of modern Christians. Think about if the bible had very specific verses in it about killing all non-christians, and they actually went out and killed thousands of them, do you think it would last very long in the U.S. or the U.K.? Thats why I don't see why Islam has lasted so long or is even called a religion because they are blatantly NOT the religion of peace as they would have you believe, but are dead set on having Islam be the only accepted religion and the law in the entire world. Thats why I don't like to hear "religious people believe..."

It's al about interpretation of the texts, and you may know it being a christian

Many of muslims are in the peacefull way as christians are, Islam s not about killing non-believers

I think you have a very, very distorted view of Islam maybe caused by the media at the States after 11-s
