850 XT here with 5.12 and no probs

EDIT: I dislike the Control Center .NET version with a passion though. The "normal" one was no longer an option :F

Mip bias setting to the far left should fix that. If it does nothing then I can only assume that it's a driver problem.

I don't have an Nvidia and therefore I dont know if there's any quality settings in the driver options panel that could cause it.

There's that. Also 30 threads in half an hour is easier to take care of than 1000 if someone deliberately tries to spam the board.

Yep, we're bunch of rally/motorsport freaks

btw, If you do the same with rally/f1 championships the number will be equally ridiculous if not worse

It's not the same car and it was only made in australia afaik.

Looks like an Aussie Chrysler Valiant Charger, also used as a police car back in the seventies.

Yes, but then if that car gets crushed, and the one after and the one after. You soon learn not to do it.

Precisely.

Matrixi: I don't have any special feelings for the skyline even though I'm a Nissan driver myself like you. Then again if it were a Ferrari I'd even pay for tickets to see it

I got my last ticket over ten years ago so I wouldn't have to worry I think and hopefully you neither

For repeated offenses (like 10 or so in a short period of time) that'd be fine imo. Some people drive without a license, sometimes drunk and nothing seems to stop them for repeating it over and over again. This could help

It works if you disable "block popup windows".

EDIT: that wasn't it. However if you change the prefs, click ok and reload the page then it works. Strange bug
EDIT: apparently even this doesnt work always

Are you using USB to connect the ADSL modem? It seems better to use a network cable from what I've seen and heard.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

350mb... I use that much if I have a lot of unnormal stuff open (like right now I have a lot of development programs open and am using 320mb). My normal useage is only ~210mb o_O

Yes it was just for the comparison. I had lot of apps open at the time

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

The most resource hungry stuff on there is the Windows theme poorly added using retro code, much like the rest of Windows. Right now there is software on your PC that was made for 95, but then dropped for 98. Just never removed. Which is why Windows XP is so bloadted (2000% bloated, I read on a webby, so not too sure if it is that bad)

Classic theme (barebone w2k style) uses 2MB less memory than the "bloated one". (mem usage 353 vs 355 here) Displaying few bitmaps don't really use the processor either so I don't see the problem really Menus and and such may use the cpu a bit more but then again that's why the cpu is there. And it doesn't matter if youre gaming.

3rd party theme programs and such are different thing though.

Vari, scroll up to Post #3

Oops, didn't see that

Quote from Fonnybone :

Who ever though that certain materials, when
applied current, would create a temperature differential between the
poles where current is applied ?!

In 1821, J. T. Seebeck (1770-1831) discovered that dissimilar metals that are connected at two different locations (junctions) will develop a micro-voltage if the two junctions are held at different temperatures. This effect is known as the "Seebeck effect"; it is the basis for thermocouple thermometers.

In 1834, a scientist called Peltier discovered the inverse of the Seebeck effect, now known as the "Peltier effect": He found that if you take a thermocouple and apply a voltage, this causes a temperature difference between the junctions. This results in a small heat pump.

Vrooom got a permanent ban quite some time ago, after a few shorter bans and a bunch of warnings. Permanent does indeed mean permanent, the ban wont be cleared when someone's hostmask changes.

I thought that at least this much was understood but oh well

Thanks

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he dropped in on one of the
classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their
meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the
discussion on the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked the
class for an example of a "tragedy".

One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a
farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him
that..... would be a tragedy."
"No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove
over a cliff, killing everyone inside that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained the president. "That's what we would call a
great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
Bush searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?"

Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised hand. In a quiet voice he said:....

"If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs. Bush was struck by a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?

"Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a ****ing accident either.
