There's a place I go to which had to put up a No seperate bills sign up at the front when you first come in. Because it was giving them too many problems. Splitting bills evenly is [cabbage]. You want a $50 meal - you can pay for it. There's no way I'm pitching in to pay for someone else if they wanted to eat big.

Nope - that's spider man 2

sadface. that's a bit of a shame really :-?

true, gambling on tnhings which aren't completely luck based is ultimate. poker is good but it is very luck based. Staking IRL and IRS owns. I wouldn't be so hasty. I'm at a playing level now where, I hope, I can eliminate luck from the game, by bluffing, reading opponents and so on. The other day, it didn't even matter if I was dealt a 7-2 OS, I was still winning pots. I used to play in a freeroll tounry for a long time. Then my friends and I made the jump and started playing at the casino. We've gone back to the freeroll tourny a few times - and we've all ended up on the final table (usually 3 in the top 5) and most times one of us wins. This is usually out of around... 80-130 players. The difference between freerollers and people who play for money is massive. Like literally massive. Once you can read people who buy in for 5K; reading people who haven't put money down is a piece of cake.

Try the Omega drivers. When my 9800 pro was giving me hell, I uninstalled the ATI drivers and installed the Omega drivers and haven't had a problem since.

I played oblivion solidly for about 3 months. You'll get your replay value alright. I keep making new files just to replay the dark brotherhood quests :P

They could market it as "PS2-II" :thumbsup:

If you're chasing a rule over tiny text - it should be more: Do not post entire messages in font size < x Rather than: Never post in font size < x The occasional short statement in small font is fine.

Isn't going to happen. With the way things are going - it looks like it will be an Australia V South Africa final.

Yea, I remember it being word for word: "I would rather die fighting for what I believe in, than live for anything else." It sticks because it's very close to my thoughts which is: "Live for what you believe in - Die fighting for it." Means essentially the same thing; just slightly different wording..

You mean the other way around? #-o In ODI MacGill is a worst version of Warne, he tends to throw the ball up more and doesnt have Warne's defensive capacities. Plus, Magill is a bad fieldman and an pretty ordinary number #11. All of these factors would make his a bad choice for ODI although for test most of these can be covered. Lets no forget both of them are 35+ in age, disapointed that White wasnt chosen for pitch hitting abilites. Although his bowling is very laughable at times..... #-o I did too. This is what happens when you rush posts :P

Quoted for absolute truth. The only thing that's holding Hogg back from being a very dangerous player to any team is his inconsitancy with his spin. It's not that bad; but sometimes it's pretty shocking :| I'm all for having a dedicated spin bowler though. We definately need a fixed spinner in the squad rather that shuffling through the 3 or so which is available :-? Hogg and MacGill could be a nice team. Although I'd throw MacGill around the ODI's and Hogg into tests.

So you based that entire post off images? Right - so remind me why some of the crap that come from $200 sneakers are better than a $30 pair if you only seem to give a [cabbage] about what they look like? :uhh: Those Gucci shoes that viktor posted don't exactly good real grand either. Gucci or not - they look like [cabbage]. Most likely wont be appreatied by anyone who doesn't give a toss about the brand on your shoes though; but each to their own I guess :-? Don't get me wrong vik - Gucci is almost the essence of top quality - just for the sake of argument: unless they can understand that it doesn't come from a factory in asian (like most "designer-name" shoes) they aren't going to care much for it. Take Nike for instance - cost of production is almost identical to that of a $30 pair of shoes. After import taxes and such, and the Nike sales team decides on how much of a markup to give it because it's Nike shoes - that's your final rip-off price. And they know they'll get away with it.

I got it and Raptor: Call of the Shadows on my USB stick for breaks at uni :D

Abandonware is essentially freeware though :( Anyhow - JetPack is awesome. Fairly self-explanitory - collect the green gems, and gold treasure for extra points, then exit through the huge set of doors when you got all the gems. And you even got a level creator if you think the levels that adept software made aren't hard enough for you :P

I'm hardly a sneakerhead; the most expensive pair of shoes I own is my Columbia Bonanza Peak's. Set me back around $130 after my staff discout :thumbsup: I'll tell you now - 8hrs of being on your feet and you always feel like you're walking on air.

That would affect his ability to watch tv - wants to watch it; just got be exposed to all this smut :uhh: Other channels are also an option - but that's not the point. He simply doesn't want to even run the risk of ever seeing it on any channel or whatever.

US$450 sniperas - work with the budget rather than suggesting a move that'll cause a blowout that is most likely to hit 3x the original. While I agree with you on the cpu (if it's possible); a brandnew directx 10 card is going to cost more than the budget unless it happens to fall off the back of a truck - so that's a definate no. In 6 months the directx 10 cards will be near half the cost or close to it.

Stalin was actually correct in having a fair few of political and military figures perged. They weren't just a threat to his idea of commumism - they were a threat to the rest of the Soviet Union in some form. There were a lot of people on the "list of successors" that would've seen the Soviet Union plummet back into the sorry state it was when Stalin came to power; he essentially secured people who would keep the country moving forwards as a super-power rather than let it crumble. Still didn't totally work though; many of his trusted staff ended up being arrested for stuff like treason shortly after his death.

Wouldn't be a suprise if they drop Hodge for Roy. It could[/b] be Watson; but there's like a 80% chance it will be Hodge :P

Unlike Hitler - after Stalins death (like 20-30 years later or so) 1/6 people still thought he was the best ruler they ever had. And that was near 30 million people still supporting Stalin 30 years after his death. That was never going to happen for Hitler.

Williams I'd actually pitch to place ahead of BMW. Possibly even Renault if they're on a good run :-k But the top there are fairly certain. Just that Williams is a bit like McLaren (when talking about reliability) sometimes, and could shuffle the next few finishes up a bit :P

Bowling, Golf and Baseball are my games and you pretty much nailed it :P I always seem to spin the ball in bowling even when I try not to; used to drive me crazy until I worked out exactly where to line it in order for it to go where I wanted it to go originally :lol: Tennis and Boxing I'm not a fan of so I can't really help you there :P

Sounds like a CTF match i played in for the POE XGN ladder. I'd stolen their flag; jumped in the nearest vehicle (big slow troopie) and got back to our flag with 5 seconds to score :ohnoes: I rolled the truck coming down a hill so I had about 10 meters to cover in those 5 seconds and literally put it down with 2 seconds left :| We won the entire game by one point - which most of my clan put down to that capture :D

I play like an hour or two of WiiSports a day :D
