I place my chips on.

512 MB RAM

126 MB VRam

and

2 GHz Processor.

nah that's from VG cats just a typical gamer comic with a bit of anime tossed in.

edit: I've just always liked webcomics, one of those 15-20 mins a day hobbies. 

I just thought it'd be nice to have this.   truely iconic.

The zombie apocalypse

the 4th of July is more fun than chirstmas.   Family gets togheter, outdoor barbeque(brats, hamburgers, grilled corn on the cob, German potato salad, and other fixings you'd expect to find at a bring your own dish fest), large bonfire, swimming, and explosions.

Now at chirstmas.   Family gets together, crowded indoor thing(cramped, full of smokers, almost-drunk people in one small area(expect feud junk)), junk food and baked junk food, the uncles having the money-peen contest, and others going through the winter/SAD depression stuff.

I wouldn't group with people that can't count...  Much less would I group with people that think they need a contest to win a piece of loot instead of sharing it...

This doesn't pertain to whether or not it should be legal or not.   But rather a very small clause in the constitution that the states would rather ignore and break depending on their views.   This small clause also makes any state ban on gay marriage 90%-100% pointless.   This clause is also so important to our countries well being that it was also in the articles of the confederation(which was an insanely ill planned document, which speaks volumes for the importance).

This clause could be none other than the full faith and credit  clause.   This pretty much means that any contract written in one state is legal in anyother state, even if it would otherwise be illegal to write that contract in that state.  Obviously it's pretty simple to see why this so important to our country, originally each state was 'almost country like'.  meaning that we needed protections for bussinesses, wouldn't be a good idea to have a get out of debt plan be as simple as crossing the boarder(5 miles that way) as the contract wouldn't be legal in that state.

Marriage as far as the government should care is a contract(obviously a contract shouldn't care about who/what the signers are).   So if you want individual states to ban gay marriage rather than the federal govt.   you need to get all 50 states to ban gay marriage.   Otherwise if just one state doesn't anyone could sign the marriage contract there. Requiring the 49 other states to have to respect it due to the full faith and credit clause.

Not following the full faith and credit clause, WILL easily make it to the supreme court after a case or three(makes it into court).

--------------------------------------

As for the only way to truely ban gay marriage, you need to get rid of it at the federal level.   Which is of course insanely difficult to do.  And thankfully so as such steps would really be a major step backwards, the govt. enforcing nonaffecting-of-others morality on the people.

The lyrics are very old(17th centry old).   The artists just changes the melody.

Death penalty should always be an option and should be there.  However anyone who would want to use it shouldn't be presiding in the legal system anyways.

Camatasia should work for you, than any random video camara for when you need to show your kingly mug.  and stop having your antivirus block all your windows componets(forcing you the have to reinstal it), I don't know how you do it since they don't even show up in the scan...

:ker-yawn:

patches are pretty easy to find.   Downloads>patches and you have a huge list of patches right here.

check your drivers since Oblivion should be able to run comfortably on anything.

the investment that took to make EvE  begs to differ, especially compared to it's sucess.

SecondLife is also getting ready to land on your property to boot as well.  This thing really prints out the money.

the very indy game that is WurmOnline begs to differ as well.  if it were an everclone game it would have 15 players online at any one time.

Edit:

I'd be willing to shove Runescape as being sandbox enough as well.   there are no required paths in it at all.  and it's more popular than everclone(s), even if that sucess can be attributed to other things it's still that stinking gorrilla in the corner.   (note players will typically look for games similar to their first)

I've rarely have used alts.  and when I did they weren't related to my other character in anyway, except for a few friends.   Also there is one exception and that would be second life for product debug, testing something you've made yourself goes soo much faster than walking someone through it(and frustrating the hell out of them as you spam small changes every 15 mins).

I'm avidly against alts in any normal MMO.  Players shouldn't be presured to use them at all and sure as hell not be inconvenced by them in PvP games.

If this was a socialist country she would be shared with the community

just couldn't resist myself...  Well she is tr...

private out of world communication.  ruins a lot of game theory stuff.

You do see a lot of hawk and dove type games in PvP games where players can lose time(items, exp, or whatever).

Runescape did release an interesting game math type game if that's what you're into the Fists of Guthix minigame.  Basically one person hunts the other, while they collect points.  at the center they collect points faster than on the outside.  They add special things like a one time teleport to the center, and some other teleports for the hunted.

:oh noes bash him for he mentioned runescape:

My last nightmare was like 3 months ago(after years of not having one).   The only thing I remember about it(now) was waking up with a thick layer of sweat on my skin, in need of a shower, and being very thirsty.

No one of course said you couldn't poke at the game you play

EvE:  88% unpersonalized.

WurmOnline: Survival grind.

WoW, EQ(2), whatever:  Has endgame.

Muds:  you're supposed to type that fast, or program your character to fight for you?

Everything: "Mudflation, or players're just wasting time" leading developers.

Vanguard: Somebody will mess up worse than us someday, that's the day we Strike.

Random F2P:  The cake is a lie.

Guildwars: "I can has PvE people, see there they are", The game talking.

If you're going to spend that much you might as well get two hard drives with raid 0.  While it won't help with gaming that much(since you aren't accessing the harddrive that much) it'll slightly speed up some other stuff if you ever do use your drives itensively.

I'd lean towards the second one I'd like to know the bus speed on the processor, which isn't mentioned.  even if it is worse for some reason it'll be a faster computer if just a small amount.
