  1. New PC games are generally ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã35 in highstreet shops, less online - ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã25-30 normally. All PC games work on PCs anywhere in the world - none are region-specific. At least, in ~16 years of PC gaming that's what I've noticed.
  2. Read the rest of the topic, idiot.
  3. On the Channel 4 news this evening (in the UK) it showed that we had video evidence of a GPS system proving our troops were in Iraqi waters (around 1.6 miles shy of the borders), alongside evidence sent from the merchant ship they were boarding and the navigation records. Add this to the fact that the Iranians have changed their story, saying they were at two different locations so far makes it look pretty clean cut. As I mentioned before, the 'confession' doesn't mean squat, since Iran seems to think that a confession under duress/coercion counts for some reason.
  4. The only programs that will work are those in a language like Java. The vast, vast majority won't work without emulation, which takes effort to set up and I don't know anything about it.
  5. If you've got their name, age and location then either they've been breaking the rules by posting them, or you've seen them on some social networking site. In which case they'll have already seen pictures. Why have topics at all? We could just PM everyone our replies. The answer is because it's a huge hassle to PM everyone you want to see something.
  6. More reliable in what way? How have you experienced AMD being unreliable? I'm not arguing either way, I'm just looking for substantiation.
  7. Make your signature smaller. Do you think they'd alter the rules just for your one signature that you couldn't be bothered to make the right size? That took you all morning? :uhh:
  8. The world is full of self proclaimed experts who really don't know what they are talking about. Very true. The thing is these 'experts' don't know that they aren't experts and that's what makes them harmful - if not harming people's machines then just harming the world by spreading misinformation. The real experts will admit that they don't know everything and not give advice on areas they're not informed about. You can't be an expert at everything.
  9. Well-reasoned posting for the win.
  10. And if they deny your claim and slap you with some extra charges, "the FSM works in mysterious ways."
  11. I've got one and it's absolutely fine. No abnormal noises and it performs perfectly.
  12. Since you're getting an 8800GTS you're probably wanting to play some games and games these days are using larger and larger textures, so that extra video memory will be most useful.
  13. I used to use ui.worldofwar.net. Some of the main mods I used were: Titan panel CTMod buttons Can't remember the rest.
  14. That's what I'd always noticed his signature to be anyway.
  15. That's interesting, I can't imagine how that could be against any of the rules. If it's about the word 'believe' then there are plenty of things one can believe in other than religion - equality for men and women, that abortion is wrong, that you don't want to be part of the EU etc.
  16. Read the damn stickies. Particularly: How-to Guide: Protect Your Computer from Internet Threats
  17. If you want any help, read the stickies before posting. They're there for a reason. Particularly this one: ** If you don't give details, you can't expect help **
  18. If you have drives of different sizes RAID 0 (striped) is a bad idea since you'll lose some of the larger drive. What's more, to do it both would have to be wiped. Basically RAID isn't what you want in your situation. If you have two partitions on one physical disc then you can either make the smaller one bigger and the bigger one smaller, or you'll have to copy the items over to the bigger one manually - which will prevent some of the copied programs from working. If you have two physical discs then you can only copy stuff over.
  19. I am intolerant of fundamentalist christian beliefs because I see them to be harmful. I assume you are intolerant of the sort of fundamentalist muslim beliefs that allow the sentencing of rape victims to corporal punishment. I am, however, not intolerant of other beliefs - including more open-minded christian ones. Thus, I am not 'utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief or opinion'. QED

    So true. That's why you see Mercedes on council estates. Why you see plasma TVs in their houses. Why chavs wear Burberry. Wearing expensive clothing doesn't say anything about your socio-economic status. Chavs have already proved that.

    This thread is the maturity epicentre of the boards. I can tell this from the talk of shoes 'owning' other shoes.
  22. You're being held captive by armed people in a country which practices torture. Would you confess to living on the moon if they asked you to?
  23. You are trying to turn this into a flame war. The topic was just fine until you showed up several days later and stirred this up. You called me racist because you are ignorant as to what it means. Now you're just trying to make out like you're right. Hurr.
