  1. Just got my fast bird :D I was interested to know if it was quicker to use it to get from Shattrath to Honour Hold than using the gryphonmaster - I timed them, it takes 2 minutes and 50 seconds using the gryphonmaster whereas flying on my own epic bird it takes 1 minute and 50 seconds. I guess because it really is as the crow flies, whereas the gryphonmaster takes you via Allerian Stronghold, which is very out of the way.
  2. 2.1 planets. There are some stupid questions though, like when it asks how far you travel by car the lowest option is 0km, then the next one is 25-100km. Numbers exist between 0 & 25 you clever site designer - and I happen to travel between 0 & 25km per week in a car.
  3. Good post, Herr von Verschuer. Like communism - potentially good idea in theory, but it will never work.
  4. TOCA Race Driver 3. I don't normally like games that deal with serious track racing, but I really liked this. I liked the career mode, being able to start at the bottom in go-karts and move up through Formula Ford, Palmer Audi, etc. through to F1.
  5. 800kb is too big, but what you're saying about dialup users doesn't stand up now that one can disable viewing signatures. They did the huge 'we DO care about you' when they added the option to not view signatures. I am not campaigning for a change in size, I am just pointing out that the 'dialup users' argument is now pretty much invalid. If someone has a big problem with pages taking too long to download they can just disable signatures.

    Don't use a name that tries to make you look: Badass Dangerous Evil If you do, regardless of how creative you are, it will not be original.
  7. I miss Lucky Charms. They used to sell them in supermarkets here for a while, but then they stopped for no good reason. Now one can only get them from specialist importers and they cost ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã7 for a small box...

    What you are describing is not child abuse. If you think it is, well, feel grateful for your sheltered life. Do you think children should just be allowed to do what they want all the time? I'm sure the child knows best. You made an idiot of yourself by saying that to the parent, who is legally allowed to hit their child to correct them. I'm sure people who have actually been affected by child abuse would be pretty annoyed to see you belittling what they've gone through by comparing it to relatively normal parenting. Fortunately I'm not such a person.
  9. Right click My Computer, select Manage. Go down to Disk Management. Find the disc in there and right click it - select "Change drive letter and paths". Change the drive letter.
  10. Since I got to 70 I have found it increasingly boring and I hardly play it now.
  11. So you're another one who hasn't left after they said they would?
  12. Abso-bloody-exactly.
  13. Feeling intellectual. I like listening to a lecture on a really advanced subject and totally understanding it, and realising that I am at the level it is aimed at. Example: today I had a 1-hour lecture on only one of three types of ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest - today's was on Idle Repeat reQuest - IRQ) error control and how it affects the alpha value (transmission delay-propagation delay ratio) of the network.
  14. I ignore leaving threads. Of course I didn't bother to check her thread, since it is just attention-seeking claptrap.
  15. If you're leaving - leave. If you're seeking attention - make a post about leaving. issy2 - you obviously aren't leaving, since you're still reading and replying to posts here.

    When I had my 8800GTX (before I returned it) I was using an OCZ Game X Stream 700W. I would recommend against getting the suggested 550W one simply because the 8800GTX box recommends 600W or higher (at least mine did). Seasonic are a good brand though.
  17. Those aren't problems with XP. They are problems with: 1. Your setup - you have caused sound to not work, this is not an inherent feature of XP. Perhaps you haven't got the drivers, there could be any number of problems but just because the sound doesn't work ON YOUR MACHINE doesn't mean XP 'sucks'. 2. Your hardware. Random restarts are almost always hardware problems, not software.
  18. It seems all the greatest posters are leaving. Oh dear.
  19. I think it was taken out of the game a long time ago, whilst I was still playing my paladin, but before some time you could use both Noggenfogger elixir and a gnomish shrink ray to become a speck. When I did it I had a crusader enchant and the glow from it got so concentrated because of the size I looked like a little star.
  20. Well the car is a Faraday cage so the driver at least would be fine. I remember Richard Hammond in a VW Golf got zapped by a Tesla coil once on Top Gear - I can't remember how the car's electronics fared though.
  21. 2/0/59. Very frosty. Average normal frostbolt damage is 1000, crits are 2200. I've also got the talents that give you +2% to crit chance with each hit and +50% to crit chance on frozen targets, so when I've used frost nova on an enemy I have a 75% crit chance. Another good thing is ice lance - if you've got a target that is frozen, you start sending a frostbolt then the instant it finishes you fire off an ice lance - the game will think the target is still frozen because the frostbolt hasn't reached it yet. This way I can do 3700 damage in an instant.
  22. I do not like thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why, I cannot tell; But this I know, and know full well, I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.
  23. Not exactly related to this particular thread, but I just turned 70 and got a bird - what cool and interesting places that one can only get to by flying should I know about? I have found Skettis, the place on the far western edge of Nagrand and the place in the far northwest of Nagrand, above the Throne of Elements. Where else should I know about?
  24. I'd hate to think how they see daytime television then. Oh wait, they probably don't watch it since it is devilspawn too. The radio is probably too bawdy for them as well.
