I'm the the same focus isn't there, but they should at least be teaching it. It's far past the days where command line is all you're going to be using in an application.

Every antivirus will basically have a large amount of control over your system. If you have two of them, they may identify things the other ones does as possible intrusions, treat their files as viruses, etc.

Any solitaire game should be pretty easy to reproduce, just google it up. I'd download visual C++ from microsoft, if you have msdn student access it's free. I assume you only had one C++ class, an introductory one? Otherwise they should have taught you gui :?

Good point, my mistake. I won't claim to have researched US manufacturing totals :lol: My point was that despite the large amount of debt carried by the States, they are still the only real world superpower, and that stands.

I'm also a huge Maiden fan (moreso then Metallica) but the influence Metallica had on metal is undeniable. I also still consider MoP to be one of their "good" albums, everything after nothing else matters was garbage.

Try using the speakers/headset/surround sound with something else, and see if that works. That way you can isolate the problem to your pc at least. Oh, and post a HJT log please.

I don't care what side of the global warming fence you're on, but there's no excuse for wasting energy and natural resources.

Romy thinks I'm a jerk ;_; OT: I fail to see what serious negative repercussions there are from a holiday that is a joke. I further agree that no sex or race needs a holiday singularly devoted to that.

On course? Absolutely. Just not quite there yet :P

Fair enough. Way I see it is: Regulations on new buildings are fine (architecturally no, as long as they can be made energy efficient) but I still can't agree with forcing people to upgrade old houses. Incentives are one thing, but forcing....not ok with me, considering the possible financial difficulties. I'll use my situation as an example, though obviously I don't live in Europe: We're in a 40 year old house, obviously it's not particularly energy efficient. My parent's aren't exactly poor but could not afford the money to completely redo the house to make it energy saving. As repairs come a long, we do them, we've slowly replaced the toilets with water saving ones as they break, and most of the rest of the appliances. Same thing for the roof tiles, and a few of the windows, so our house has definitely improved over the last 10 years. Thing is, repairing slowly as stuff breaks is the only way it's economically feasible for us.

I'm waiting for the healer to come back! Oh....... GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

Not all trolling is obvious ;)

While I agree with the "too many resources" statement, I do question the heavy-handedness of forcing people to build their houses a certain way. Bearing in mind as well, many people don't have the funds to upgrade existing houses.

Germany/Argentina should be close. I hope Germany wins though, Maradonna annoys the [bleep] out of me.

The fact that the US has debt doesn't change the fact that they are a world superpower. The fact that they don't manufacture as much as China doesn't matter anyway. Does China have their armed forces in a large number of countries around the world? Is China considered the most important government to have on your side if you want to make any important foreign policy changes? The US has far more clout than China, or any other country. The fact that they have debt does little to nullify that. In the future, this may change. The fact that they have this debt could be detrimental in the future(towards them keeping superpower status) and countries like China and India hold more and more clout on the world stage. This doesn't mean they are currently superpowers with anything near the power held by the States.

Specs of your computer? I'm guessing it's not the best, if that's the case that's basically graphical lag and you're unfortunately stuck with it :(

Tell him he's being an idiot. Not much more you can do than that.

Agreed. Also I heard a reporter on TV in the U.S call it "the only world's superpower" Bullcrap. U.S, stop acting so mighty, and realize the rest of the world hates you. Not everyone hates the States ;) If they did they'd have nowhere near the power they (the states) holds now. And they are "the only world superpower".

Well obviously. The point most people are bringing up here is that, while significant, wouldn't be very effective even if it were implemented.

Besides, you've just stooped to her level - when we said: "get over her" we meant it - period. That means nothing, or else you'll never move on.

The fourth, fifth and sixth all made no sense if you hadn't read the books. It's one thing to leave out things that won't translate into a movie, but another to leave out major plot details to the point that the entire story is corrupted.

I'm glad to see it's in two parts, hopefully at least they can spare the butchery of detail so prevalent in the previous films. I don't have high hopes for it - the only director who really envisioned a good interpretation of the books was Chris Columbus, and the movies he directed were boring. Still, I'll watch it. EDIT: Damn Emma Watson is hot :D And of course it's in 3d. I'll try to watch it in 2D for sure.

I've heard some theories that by 2050 we will have nano-bots capable of repairing and replenishing any tissue in the body permanently - aka immortality.

I assume he means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_(band)

I don't believe normal users have the ability to start multi-user conversations :(
