Graphics Card & Games
Now, now. There wasn't any need for that sort of attitude. Sure, the OP barely gave us anything to go on but you could try and help, no? http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=74516 <- try this. I'm not familiar with ATi but the more obvious fixes seem to be in there. Lol "that attitude". There's an enormous amount of posts on T&C which just say "help!" without giving more info about their problem/s or what they've tried.

The Metal Thread
Hm, i actually think metal threads pops up every now and then. Personally i haven't been listening to metal for quite a while. I basically only listened to metal from 9-18/19, but not since then. Yeah i fire up a track every now and then, but it's like i over-played metal because i have no interest in it at the moment. I have started to widen my interest and taste in music since then tho. Jungle, drum'n'bass, trance/techno (altho i've liked that for quite long, deepened my interest), 60/70's music (mainly prog, rock, psychedelic), country (altho it's hard to find good stuff, most seems to be about love blahblahblah), haven't listened to much blues lately either. Something which i want to discover is classic music, especially dark/heavy pieces, like Griegs "In the hall of the mountain king".

What movie(s) did you last see?
44 Inch Chest - No points, turned off after 15min, nothing happend. Sunshine Cleaning - An ok movie, 6.5/10. Shrink - I quite liked it, altho that promoter guy (the germ hater) was an annoying character, 7.5/10. Righteous Kill - It was ok, would have expected more from it. The end was a bit "eh", 7/10. The Women - It was a bit too shallow, didn't really get to know much about any of the characters, 7/10. Smart People - God, boring. I tried to watch it, but just couldn't finish it... 2/10. Doghouse - Could have been a bit more crazy, 7.5/10 She's Out of My League - Hm, i liked it. A bit too little between the pair, but overall good. 7/10. There's a few that i've forgotten.

National Man Day
I don't have Facebook so i cant read what it says. I think these "special" days are silly. Everything needs to be celebrated it seems. Just like our national holiday became a public holiday in 2005, but it's just crap since it's just some multi-culture mumbo-jumbo event. If anything, have a national/world day for all those that have been lost in war all over the world since the dawn of time. Altho i gather this is more a sort of joke.

8 Things Gay People Can't Do
Not that i care a great deal about this subject anyways, but there's a couple of points that i agree with.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
I didn't pay much attention to Cameroon - Japan, but my Fantasy guy scored. Go Japan! Holland - Denmark, i have to be honest, didn't pay much attention to it either. Not much happened and i thought Holland would impress more. Italy - Paraguay, good game. However i missed first 40sec of 2nd half, could anyone tell me why Buffon was substituted? I'll ramble it again, god damn horns. And the ball is playing tricks on free kicks A factor people don't take into the calculation is the altitude when speaking scoring. And Tortilla, what do you mean by the fewest goals in CL by a long time? Look at the scoring from 03-04 and forwards.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
Crap. I just realized i'll miss Ivory Coast - Portugal. Gonna be in Sthlm visiting a friend, and i already cancelled the date once so can't really do it again lol. Tonight Australia - Germany. I think 3-0 or 3-1 (Cahill scores) to Germany.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
Even tho i'm a Toffee, i have to give cred to Gerrard. Ok, without Green's mistake they'd won, but they had 50min to make up for it. Not impressed by England from what i saw yesterday and the last couple of friendlies (yes i know how they did in qualifiers). I also think Crouch should be played instead of Heskey, even tho that changes their game plan. And the ball, there's been alot of complaints from players on different positions. I've tried one of those myself, and the ball has a very plastic feel too it.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
My team: [spoiler=Hidden!] I didn't see much of SA game yesterday, was making some home-made pizza so just ran to the tv back and forward. France yesterday, kinda crappy game. But i can't remember too much, had a few too many beers with some friends while watching it. South Korea, watched last 35. They played really good and Park's goal, awesome. Argentina, i am not at all convinced. Lagerbäck is a great tactician and it wasn't easy for Argentina when some time had passed. Nigeria's keeper - best on the field!

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
I mostly agree with you, although I do think that Lahm is about as good as fullbacks come. I don't think the Germans will do terribly well, since as you say Klose is having a terrible time at the moment. If I was to pick the two danger men from the German squad it would be Trochowski and Schweinsteiger. Also, the vast majority of the German squad play in the Bundesliga, and I don't rate that league very highly compared to most other European top flights. I think Germany will go to the quarter finals at least. They have Cacau, if he gets time he will score a few goals. Their keepers are great, even tho Adler is injured. Müller, Kroos and Kiessling have had great seaons. The only slightly weak part is the centre backs. If you go by UEFA then Bundesliga is 4th, however, they will pass Serie A next year and get 4 CL places. Financially it's the most healthy out of all top leagues (might be interesting to know).

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
Signed up to the fantasy. Never played these fantasy games, only FM, so we'll see how it goes lol. E: Why is the tactics [bleep]ing? I want to change some players positions, but when i press confirm it messes all up... Annoying. E2: "Three foreign journalists victims to a armed robbery" http://www.goal.com/en/news/1863/world-cup-2010/2010/06/09/1966342/world-cup-2010-three-foreign-journalists-robbed-at-gunpoint Just the other day there was also a story about a Korean reporter being robbed. I wonder if there will be any murders, wouldn't surprise me. Would be interesting to see how many incidents there was during the World Cup after it is finished.

Depends on where you live. If i had a guess, i would say that if you picked out 100 cars where i live, i would guess about 5 would be auto. It's really unusual here.

Is 00's Music it's own Decade yet?
Ok? I could say that i hate rap and pop too, but it doesn't really add anything to the discussion.

It's not that difficult with a manual. In the beginning when learning to drive it takes a bit of practice, but doesn't take long until you get it and it goes automatic.

Is 00's Music it's own Decade yet?
Not a direct answer to your question, but: 00's metal scene, has as a whole, moved backwards in time, to the 70/80's sound/style. Where's in the 90s, as a whole, it was kinda lost and confused. I will also say that 00's has been great for metal around the world, from being dead and buried to attracting more people to gigs than ever before. Yes, i know goth, industrial, black and death metal also had a good time in the 90s', but again... As a whole.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
Robben injured in Hungary match earlier today, seems like the hamstring. Wonder how many more guys will go before it starts? And for the golden boot i have Cacau (if they start with him) or Villa.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
Of course Spain will perform, it's just how well they'll perform against other equally strong teams like Argentina and Italy. And why would Argentina suffer due to Maradona's coaching ? Because he left out Zanetti and Cambiasso. Check how they did during the qualifiers... And he has used around 100 players since he took over. He is their hero, he is a football god, but he is not a good coach. Drogba seems to be out, more or less. If he plays it will be on shots and half capacity. Dawson is good a replacement for Rio. Gerrard will captain England squad now tho.

Again no. Or yes, if you want the proper words used. Crossfire for using the same card model and CrossfireX for different ones.

British Republicanism
Do you mean as in the question about monarchy? My country has monarchs too, but they only cost 4m per year so there's no reason to remove them. Altho they are imported from France. Or republican as in conservative? On most tests and quiz' i score as neo-con, but, i'm very pro animal&environment. I'm not British, but i chose to answer anyway! Hah! Lol.
