Yep - I was gonna say the same thing. I know Warlock has some issues with spelling (<s>dailysex</s> dyslexia?) so I hope there's not much in the way of English in this test.

So Good Luck! Remember: Wi-Fi + Dictionary.com = pass mark!

Dude: Standard retail price for games in New Zealand is $99.95

Extra-Famous releases are $129.95. And for ****'s sake - if anyone says "Yeah, but that's only NZ money" - I swear, I will hunt you down and kill you!!11 Because $99.95 is $99.95 no matter what you say!

Flip - you and I have same heat sink. And I have my Vantec Nexus panel thermosensor mounted right on the heatsink, about 3mm away from where the die is clamped to the heatsink. I tried different locations for it. No one really cares what temperature the actual CPU is - what's more important is how h...

Hmmmm Jeff - how'd you remember this thread? Bringing old threads back to life is generally considered bad M-Kay! However, because you're behind Ping Plotter (A tool I have used many times and like a lot!) you're excused - and I most definitely will check out the new Beta. I'll probably buy it this ...

PPS is available from F6 - and "Netgame Info".

PPS is shown as X/Y where X is your current packet rate from the server and Y is the server setting. Remember, in Client-Server, the server will drop your packet rate if you get lossy.

Merlin, I'll give you the advice my Dad gave me at 5 years old. Shame your Dad didn't give you the same advice:

NEVER, NEVER cut towards a body part. CUT AWAY FROM YOURSELF!

Better solution: join an ISP who filters all spam mail for you! I was *INCREDIBLY* surprised to get an actual spam e-mail yesterday! It's the first one I've had since November when my ISP started filtering. This one had the subject "sandwich" and uesd taht sytesm wehre teh lttrees aer lal ...

Krom - wouldn't you need Port Forwarding (as well) to do that?

The advertising catch phrase I like is this one:

How to Fix This Issue

Enter PXO. Click "Cancel" which takes you to the Games List. Put a checkmark in "Make this the default screen" (or whatever it says). Exit PXO. Enter PXO. VOILA! Now you can join games!

Direct 3D sound in D3 rocks hard. Playing D3 in plain old stereo (or even mono!) sucks donkey whatsits! The 5.1 3D sound in D3 is awesome. I know EXACTLY where things happen just from the positional sound effects. Don't listen to Krom - he probably plays in yucky software sound! Wearing a pair of $5...

It takes about 40G impact to the head to render someone unconscious (on average) for a short period of time (Only a second or so). Good motorcycle crash helmets reduce the impact by a factor of around 40 depending on the barnd and the fit - if I recall my stats correctly. This means your helmet can ...

According to the bottle, that extra amount is free - so how could I complain even???

If they want to study hits to the head, why not study boxing? DUH!

I would use the BIOS voltage monitor ahead of MBM.

Forgot to mention Quake 3 - that's an OGL game and FSAA works in that correctly too.

The best series would be the Foundation trilogy. Daneel, ruling the human empire either from the front (as Emperor) or through official channels as advisor. Those are great yarns. I liked the way he and Giskard developed the "Zeroth Law". which states: "A robot may not harm humanity, ...

350 Watts is recommended for Athlon XP systems. You are 50 watts short. Don't forget: V=I*R Where V = volts, I = Amps and R = Resistance (Watts) So, this means, as your load on the powersupply increases the voltages drop. It's quite possible that components are smart enough to know when voltages are...

Well, I have Cat 3.10 (Latest) installed on an absolutely fresh install of XP with an R8500 and antialising works perfectly in D3 at all resolutions supported by FSAA. Perhaps you are trying to do AA with resolutions not supported by drivers? Although you said 2X - which should work at any res'. I c...

I believe the maximum weight is around 400 grams - or 1 lb. However, you better make sure that case isn't going far with that much hanging on the motherboard - and ensure ALL motherboard supports are used!

I'm pretty sure that the Israeli civil airline (Name????) already has anti-missile technology on board. However, it's probably a waste of time. Here's why: bringing down a 747 is one helluva task.
