New computer time
I just chose mine since it's was a little bit cheaper. But you're right, you'll get the money back over the year easily. So yeah, choose it. I'd get this combo instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.319757 Tho the psu is way over the top. Correct harddrive (remember it's just the hd). 8gb memory is not needed. 4gb is plenty. The memory you picked is good.

Hardrock/Heavy metal
Hi. So i'm sitting here, listening to Pink Floyd, playing RS and being a bit bored. I began thinking, why do i still need to get my heavy metal hunger satisfied by Maiden, Purple, Sabbath, Saxon etc? I mean, i love those old bands but i wouldn't mind some new folks also to come along. I mean, the only band i can think of instantly is Dawn Of Silence. But why is it that there's a crapload of black&death metal bands around but almost no heavy metal bands? One thing would be that "it's been done already". But if that is true, then there'd be no new music at all. People still like hardrock/heavy metal, so there should be some new bands out there. Or are muscians only intrested in growling or do all just suck at singing clean? Or perhaps, it's that i've missed a [cabbage]load of bands? Tell me of any you could recommend and also if you want, your point of view on this.

The last thing you wish you didn't eat.
Some school food I've had was delicious. I loved the macaroni and cheese, casadillas, and turkey subs. But yeah, 95% of their other food is blech. Depends on where you go, but the schools i've had have all been very tasty. But the tributing factor is money. If the schools don't receive enough funding the food will be crap since the school has to save money and buy second-hand rate ingredients. And also if the cooks don't earn very good, how fun is it to go up at 5-6 in the morning and be in a kitchen for the whole day.

Yes AM3. When (if) you want help with what mobo to pick, just shout. And 939 socket: If you aren't gonna keep your current parts, sell the mobo. The forums i hang around i see people searching for 939 mobos all the time, won't be a huge amount of money but about 20-30$... There's a big demand for them still. Edit: O, read the next line =P Well anyways, i'll leave it in so you know just in case. Oh right, i hurried a bit when i wrote that. I realize now that it's socket AM2+. You could still buy a mobo that's AM3, but it needs to have both DDR2 and DDR3. Sorry for the error. Here's an AM3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103675 I'd get the Phenom x4, that's me personally. Both the X3 and X4 will work with your game, i feel that it would be worth the extra money. But it's up to you. You can get a Samsung Spinpoint F1 320gb for 50$. Any 4850 with your 4850 works. You can also run it with a 4870 for example.

The last thing you wish you didn't eat.
Huh? I eat that in the morning about 2-3 days a week. Depends on quality tho, the budget marmalades are crap. The worst i've eaten, can't really come up with anything else atm, are: Mushrooms and sauerkraut (not together).

New computer time
I checked the recommended specs for the game. Personally i'd buy this cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471 Very price-worthy in my mind. Real easy to overclock aswell. HD: Get a new SATA. PSU: You'll need a new one. Depending on what build you put together i'd say about 45-60$. I also see that this game want a bit beefier gpu aswell. What's your current one?

New computer time
Link to your current psu or tell specs: Brand, model, amps@12v rail. Do you want a build or do you just want suggestions? Depends on what your are gonna do, the Phenom is top of the line.. So if it's only a bit word, internet and WoW then X3 is plenty. 350w even if it's Seasonic, i wouldn't use it with the 965.

Apologies...
Certain individuals are responsible for the atrocities you've mentioned, but the country as a whole should not be apologizing. WW2 for example, soldiers and civilians didn't know about the experiments and camps that the German government ran. It wasn't until the end people started to know about. And besides, being a soldier in WW2 for Germany's side you didn't have much choice, march to France or be executed.

Graphics Card or What?
GPU is crap. And you'd want about 2gb ram.

GOP
Heh. Voting against the other party just because they are your rivals happens often. Like in my country, a local politician (S) said that they'll never vote for something that SD puts forward, even if it's good. Reason? Reason is because they are a party that will make it into the government this year (thus stealing seats) and because they raise questions that no other party does. And why does FOX suck? The majority of all media in west are left.

Where will it all end for Runescape
Hm. When the founders leave the company, it might not change much but maybe it'll change the feel of the game. But Runescape is very different on many levels from when it started. Of course, when the profits shrink and they have to shrink their worforce down to a dozen, then the game is over since i don't think Andrew&originals will have enough "spirit" left to run the game. But when does happen? Well, if nothing drastic happens i would say in 2015+. For me personally, it will be over when i'm totally bored with it (i stay away from the game a couple of months every year, which makes it feel fresh). Or when i'm banned or hacked to shreds. I don't feel like starting over when i began eight years ago.

Why is this tolerated?
Wouldn't put racism. Americans aren't a homogeneous group. But why is isn't it a problem for people to bash north-Americans? Well, the simple answer is the left. Several western countries have had left-politicians leading the countries for decades (and some countries still do), and they are generally anti-"the American way". And another thing is the media, same there, the majority are lefties. It's a funny thing this, you can bash USA as much as you want but if you dare call one of the arab countries something... People will look crossed to you (well most anyways).

2011/12 Football Season
I'm no Man Utd fan, but his goal celebration was stupid. And not really needed by Rafael to hold Bellamy's shirt, but he let go before the penalty area.

Our Future Professions
Hm well. Soon 22 and going to uni (hopefully) in autumn hehe. I've been slacking a bit too much... Just working and studying here and there. Going for computer course (thinking of network-technician). Building industry is probably great. Since if the estimates of future population will be correct, then there will need to be buildings! Something that is dying, well, atleast in developed countries are industry type of jobs. A huge chunk of such jobs in my country has fled to eastern Europe or Asia. Another thing is auto mechanics, if you look at the development of cars: There will be more specialized into electronics. And another thing is, when the internal combustion engine is scrapped in the future and we go to such things as fuel-cells (yes i know it already exists, but on a tiny scale) there will be alot less work with mechanics. And what developed countries should do is to invest it technology/research/future. Because, "easy" factory jobs will continue to flee.

Australia Restricts Even More Media
Christ sake. I thought Germany were going to start acting like this (since in the last couple of years some fools have been wanting to crack down on violent games/movies). Which is weird, when you think of the weird movies that comes from that country. But Australia huh, hm. I don't really see why everyone like these types thinks a pair of [bleep] (fun bags), a machine gun and a blown off foot will permanently hurt a kids/adults mind.

What's Your Apparent Profession?
A not too long ago retired tennis player, one of the most successful ever from my country. Two NHL goalkeepers, one retired NHL player.

2011/12 Football Season
Great game against Man City. Important win! Uh Liverpool, don't know what's happening with 'em (ok, Gerrard, Torres, Yossi injured.. But still..). Stoke are really difficult at home but i thought Carragher&Co would push on after Reading defeat. This game also highlighted something that i don't like about the premiership; Carragher was the only Englishman on Liverpools side. But as long as Man City doesn't get the 4th spot at the end of the season i'm happy.

Keyboard not working; Can't boot into safe mode
First, try all the different ports. If it fails, do as Laura says... You can get a new one for about five - ten bucks.
