  1. Yeah, and working with Nuclear Bomb bullets without their masks down, jeesh people! The spoofed nuclear part I wasn't too concerned about Just the pointing of the pistol, which was an actual working pistol that fires actual working .50 cal BMG rounds, which got under my range-safety skin.
  2. The DVI part shouldn't be a problem, since the card comes with a DVI/VGA adaptor, so you can use your VGA monitor with it just fine. Too bad about the PCI-e dealbreaker though.
  3. Unfortunately, the THG guys didn't think about the various problems involved with fatty-acids, such as polymerization and conductivity/corrosion. Long term, that computer they built is in a HEAP-o'-TROUBLE! THG had a reader-feedback article about that piece, which pointed out the problems and offered various solutions and workarounds. Personally, just adding watercooling would solve the problem even if the case is packed in lint and dust... except for the PSU...
  4. It's an actual gun commercial, I believe! There might actually be a free rock! Either that, or it's a total spoof. I loved it anyway! Here's another spoof, but the pistol, which fires a .50 caliber BMG round, is REAL! The gun is actually fired in this clip. I don't think much of a person who casually points an actual weapon at another, even if he thinks it's not loaded. You just do not DO that. Ever. I'm still kind of boggled that this caliber of weapon can be bought for civilian use! Though the ammo for these is about $2.00 per round...
  5. I particularly loved the video on the right side. The antlers were the best!
  6. Once, when I started getting bluescreens regularly, I opened the case and discovered a solid mat of lint between the fan and heatsink on my CPU! I vacuum out regularly now. The cat-hair sure doesn't help things either...
  7. Rules? You mean those lines of boring text I skipped over, when I hit the "agreee" button? Uh, wait. This post could be considered spam... Uh, is a Cop eating a Donut considered a political commentary, contributing to the stereotype of donut-eating law-enforcement?
  8. I got tired of the Brokeback Mountain theme!
  9. I'M POSTING! I'M POSTING! Please don't DELETE me, Mr. Moderator-Man!!! I imagine that most of those folks were people who registered just to post a "why was I banned?" message...
  10. They just kept egging each other on, till all this just hatched out. *evil smile*
  11. I only play the old DoD every now and then, since I have a lot of buddies in DoDCops... No CS Classic for me...
  12. Holy Moses! The Brokeback motherload! Thx!
  13. What's the difference between oilrig wk and oilrig dj? Never mind. The WK is totally the original map (except for the stinky sea and wind sounds, and inadequate skymap) from 1.6, and the DS is "new" and "improved". I didn't like it. Playtesting at another "all AS all the time" server, I think I prefer Crisis the most, with fleeiraq and Courthouse coming in a close second and third. Maybe Italy is okay, but it sure wasn't with the team I played on!
  14. Unfortunately, once you bulge disk, you're always at risk... Our backs have exceeded their warrantee...
  15. High speed driving over pothole-infested and unimproved/degenerating roads = sitting with your tailbone balanced on the bit of a pneumatic jackhammer. I think he means vertebrae out of alignment or a slipped disk. They're pinching a nerve as a result.
  16. Slithered. The snake SLITHERED away. Can't run without legs.
  17. must. pour. acid. into. eyes! For some reason, that reminds me of the SNL "ambiguously lame superheroes" skitts
  18. The pictures Brittney Spears didn't want you to see! - The Enquirer
  19. I had this very thing happen to me. Twice. Where suddenly any movement is almost impossible, the pain is so bad, and shooting down from the small of the back through the buttock and thigh. It took 4 trips to the chiropractor each time to fix things up for me. After the first session, it all still hurts, but you're mobile again, and after the forth, you're back to normal. The trick is finding a good chiropractor who isn't also into quack therapies. They should just be back-crackers and maybe accupuncturists. P.S. Playing CS:S is a good distraction from the pain, once you find a bearable seating position. I speak from experience...
  20. Sounds like something from my Existential Philosophy course. Just rephrasing it, but in not being able to run the algorithm there is an acknowledgement of the existence of that algorithm. And this is the point of Quantum theory. It's an admission that we don't know. Some have taken this to mean that we do know... that states are on and off simultaneously, but what QM really states is that we don't know, because we can't measure in any meaningful way, without messing things up so much in our measuring attempts that the results become meaningless. Just because a cat might be in a box you open, doesn't mean it only potentially exists in reality till you open the box. It just means you don't know what's in the box till you open it.
  21. Yes, but they already turned Skynet on, by not running it... This just tells me that not even the Quantum Physisists understand Quantum Physics, which is about uncertainty, after all, and so they get lost in the maze of their own words, when trying to describe what they think is happening. It's all just pure conjecture at this point...
