You are joking right? You've NEVER seen a guy drive an M3? It's a chick car? Right. Sounds like sour grapes and player hating to me. Not to troll.:) Personally, I overclock everything I own. Hence the reason I'm starting with a galant vr4.
What a way to defend being completely wrong about something and knowing not what you were talking about. Do you have any idea how easy it is to get 400hp out of an e36 m3? Granted, it's a little harder with ODBII, but you end up with a car that will absolutely smoke an M5 or the new M3 for considerably less money. Do some research into Active Autowerke. They have packages for around 16 grand that can push the superb 3.2 liter BMW v6 to 600hp. For that matter, it's ridiculously easy to obtain and install the euro engines and 6-speed from the euro e36 into the american e36. And those additional 700 M5 pounds are there and there is NOTHING you can do about it. There is no way to make those 700 pounds go away. And if you don't understand the significance of that, there really is no hope for you. Next time just admit you had no idea what you were talking about instead of lashing out like a fanboy know-it-all.
Actually, no. I'm talking about a 1997-1999 4 door e36 BMW M3. You've probably never seen one before. The M5 weights 3900 friggin pounds. Think before you post please.
They can handle just as well on paper, but they do not feel the same. I can't stand the way a FWD car feels. I love RWD but absolutely prefer a good AWD setup. I have owned an driven FWD cars when I need something cheap. And I completely agree with you on the open diff. The most fun I've ever had with a FWD car was with a friends souped up integra. But it STILL doesn't feel as good to me as a really good RWD car like an E36 or any of a handful of midship RWD cars do. There are great examples of good, cheap RWD cars like the 240sx that can have all sorts of neat things done to them. I prefer 4 door sedans though. The 4 door M3 is a sweet car. I can't stand something too heavy.
Yup. And it happens all the time. Single selfish issues that a person has will make them pick one candidate over another. Something as universally hated as spam will make people suddenly like you when you vote to stomp it out.
It's all about addressing some huge issue that sways people. I'll give you a prime example.
Lets say that George W. Bush suddenly decided tommorow that he is going to run on the "Hydrogen Based Economy" platform. And he goes NUTS having meetings with all the huge US oil companys. And they start working immediately on all the hard stuff that will need done to get us headed in that direction and it is 100 percent provable that it is not bullshit. I would probably vote for Bush instead of Clark in the next election. Getting us off of oil and on to something we can hold the keys to is an important enough issue for me to vote for rainman the president.
They actually make the car not look half bad. The only problem I have with most modern cars is this insistance on front wheel drive. I simply can not stand front wheel drive. Right now my project car is a 1991 Galant VR4. AWD is very cool. Put AWD in a car with 4 doors, comfortable seats, and a stick. Make sure that car only weighs 3200 pounds and I'm mighty happy. I have the engine yanked and I'm going to rebore and put forged pistons in it so I can increase boost significantly. I like a comfortable 4 door that handles.
I have this weird obsessive need to close windows I'm not using after a short time period. It's incredibly stupid and wastes time, but it's a holdover from my TWM days. And I'm a nazi about cookies.:)
You obviously do not know the history behind Valves problems with HL and the lies they told related to drivers and hardware problems. There have been numerous problems in the past with ATI, NVidia, and other cards with HL and they always said "it's the drivers" or "it's the hardware". Then they silenty release a patch many months later. So unlike every other game company that doesn't care what the problem is, they blame it on something else then fix problems "when they get around to it". I can remember a problem I used to have with rage card that made all walls in counterstrike invisible. It was like a free wallhack from Valve. Everybody bitched about it and, big surprise, "It's the drivers". Well, the drivers never changed but the next HL patch fixed the problem. So yeah, when ID has no problems making Doom3 work fantastic with the FX cards but Valve is having problems and is quoted as saying "ATI cards are just 3 times faster" when ID, who nobody can disrespect says that the FX cards are faster, who are you going to believe? Who is Valve in bed with again? This is the same old shit all over again. Hopefully Valve can learn some lessons from ID and stay around a little longer. Otherwise they will inspire hatred and ire in their fans and their fans will start looking elsewhere.
oh. I'm entirely too lazy to make a fake account. I didn't think that you were trying to pretend to be someone else. I just thought you get like me and didn't want to bother logging in. Try rereading everything I wrote and picture me as a bored lazy guy instead of some dude filled with anger and spite.:) I mean, if you check I am officially "one of your fans" since yesturday. No malice. I was hyperbole to the moon on my "righteous indignation" reply.:) Overreacting to things is amusing to me at least.
That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that a professional company doesn't do what valve has done in the past and say "too bad you are screwed. we can do NOTHING about it". Then repeat that over and over and over again while the most popular graphics cards don't work correctly with their product. Then magically they do something about it 10 months later. A PROFESSIONAL company does whatever they can for their customer. Valve is not that company, or hasn't been in the past. I'm willing to entertain that perhaps they have changed. I sure hope they have. I'd like nothing better than for HL2 to completely rock and give me something to play until Doom3 comes out. But given their recent NVidia problems, it looks like the same old shit all over again.
Might have been more like a month. I'm sad to hear that. The ID guys had a sponsored forum on EnterTheGame and they spammed the server. So I saw the broadcast message and hopped in. It was the first question I asked.
I see where you are coming from. The problem is, Windows also means WORK. And MONEY. and LOST PROFIT. and having a freaking stone tied around your neck. Actually, more like having a TICKING TIMEBOMB around your neck and you have no idea what the timer is set for. So from an employees standpoint, sure. Windows problems employ a hell of a lot of us. It's the companys that are getting royally screwed. And the ticking timebomb for us is when they suddenly wake up and realize that. At that point knowing another platform is going to come in mighty handy.
Well, I'm not on a first named basis with anyone at the Inquirer so you must be right. And I was basing my righteous indignation on the reputation of the Inquirer so I suppose I should just realize they are a sensationalist publication and never trust their biased yellow journalism again. Thank you for opening my eyes. To H-E double hockeystick with the Inquirer for lieing to me and getting me all worked up over nothing. I'm totally going to pass the link to your post to Fark.com because the people over there have been highly pissed off about this developement as it has been reported by the Inquirer. They post a lot of stories from there. That needs to stop.
So it's kinda like the dude at the frat party that gets really wasted and ends up with the really fat girl that nobody else wanted in the first place then.
You totally hurt my head. So like some short guy sells them to another short seller who turns around and sells them to cover interest snowballs that shoot shared trigger cash covers....
SCO had better hurry up and think up some sweet smelling bullshit to keep that stock price inflated. News like this will start a tumble. All you people short selling SCO are about to make a bundle.

You are damn right. :) I've been coming up with all sorts of interesting angles, but not really turning up the heat.

Probably the same way they come up with a list of disqualified florida voters. It's not that hard to make a list.

A diet containing significantly less processed dog and cat meat?
Actually, no. They BOUGHT them. Follow the link and read the story.
You totally hurt my head. So like some short guy sells them to another short seller who turns around and sells them to cover interest snowballs that shoot shared trigger cash covers....
So do you like Bluestar? (obscure reference)
Yeah, I'm lost.
No doubt. Very smart marketing people. The fact that HP did this just made me forget that they recentlylaid off a shitload of people but somehow managed to afford two brand new gulfstream fives that they really needed because their other private jets were 3 YEARS OLD.
You pretty much have to assume he did. It's obvious BillG made a deal with the devil. Hell, it's obvious a lot of people have:
Bruce Willis
Carrot Top
Dubya
Kathrine Harris
Eminem
Downtown Julie Brown
Kevin Cosner
Michael Stipe
etc.
And the Devil totally hooks you up man. You should see my lawn.

e.g., I cant finish this model, I lost the gazorninplat that came with it.
That is from Pseudodictionary.com
But I picked it up from an old ass episode of Garfield and Friends.
