  1. Desktop Replacement on Killer Mobile Graphics — NVIDIA's GeForce 8800M · · Score: 0

    I don't get Top of the Line laptops for battery life.

    Battery Life? I use it as a regular PC.

    Also for LAN parties.

    Batteries in laptops have always sucked, imo.

    2 hours? 5 hours? 8 hours?

    Whatever. I like my solar powered calculator that can keep going and going.

    The best graphics chip will NEVER win on battery life. Thats a given.

    Graphics need POWER. Its very simple. Not rocket science.

    Really bad part about laptops : They are EASY to steal.

    Desktops : REALLY hard to steal. Big and Bulky has advantages.

    Conclusion : This chip is for desktop replacement laptops. Not the battery powered gaming system.

    If you want portable gaming, get Nintendo DS. I hear thats good.

    Then we collect a full infrared body heat signature [ front, back, both sides, top, bottom ].

    Then we collect your voice signature [ talk into this microphone please ].

    Then we collect a 3D image of your body with this laser scanner [ take off ALL your clothes ].

    Then we keep all this information forever and ever.

    If you pass all these tests, you will be allowed in.

    We will keep you safe.

    On the other hand :

    For sale : information you can't get anywhere else. 100 million per person. Cash only.

    ok...I am gonna get flamed.
    So here goes.
    Addicted to computer games. Games that let you do more than any gov't/religion/philosophy will
    ever let you do in "real" life.
    I've played many computer games. virutal sex, virtual violence, virtual GOD, virtual CEO, etc, etc.
    Did "real" life show me any of these things? FUCK NO!
    "real" life taught me I'm nothing. That I would be better dead, or not born at all.
    "real" life taught me that being "different" is a fucking shit crime.
    "real" life taught me that speaking out against authority is SO evil its called terrorism.
    "real" life taught me that people who drink are more powerful than non-drinkers.
    Real life is a joke. Real life can kiss my fucking ass.
    The computer, aka simulator, aka simulacrum, enables me to do what "real" life would never
    let me do.
    I have learned that everything is possible outside "real" life.
    "real" life is SO limiting. You can't do this without $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Money.
    what? oh? SO you are a fucking dictator.
    I see.
    You can't do this without permission? WHAT THE FUCK? Since when do I need your permission?
    Nothing but power games. Some people think freedom is here.
    Freedom isn't here. It isn't anywhere.
    The prisoners of capitalism, democracy, communism, dictatorships, moderators, religion, etc.
    Humans are prisoners of their own BRAIN.
    Humans are bred to be authority driven. Its so easy to boss people around. Its not enough funny.
    You are addicted to computer games? Oh, so?
    Your addicted to "real" life. Your addicted to systems of slavery that have been here for at least 10 thousand years.
    Your still addicted to food, air, sex, social gatherings, sleep, etc.
    "real" life is slavery.
    Games allow you to do what you want. Period.
    Good or Evil becomes totally fulfilled.
    In "real" life you have to fit in with the society. Be it cannibalism, stupid laws, stupid festivals, stupid mating games, etc.
    Do you want to know the next "real" disasters?
    Nuclear war is one of them.
    Most of California will FALL into the ocean. lol. suckers.
    Japan, New York, South Korea : ALL underwater. Gone. Obliterated.
    War, Famine, Death, Plague : They will return with vengeance.
    I forgot the superbugs. Heh heh. The weak will perish.
    you want "real". You got it.
    Lets see how you handle "real".
    When these disasters become a reality, no one will say "I was right".
    No one will be alive. rofl.
    You can keep your "real" world.
    I'm so glad Washington is on the soviets nuke target list. At least something good will happen.
    ahhhh...no more white house. bwah hah hah.
    Back to the topic :
    addiction to computer games is far superior than addiction to the "real" world.
    Freedom cannot be found when the chains of Man hold you down.
    Freedom is not found in Man, homosapiens, etc.
    Break free of the human brain.

    oh another shooting?

    so what?

    As for modders, I don't give a fuck what they think.

    My mind is not open for debate, discussion, or manipulation. My mind is just fine without you.

    Back to the shooting. Oh well.

    Too bad. Looks like someone else didn't like the gov't/relgious/political bullshit being rammed down his throat.

    Why men? Because women will do anything to fit in. Women will kiss your ass to fit in.

    Men on the other hand will FIGHT. Fuck you. Kiss my ass.

    Women can't fight in wars. Women just want to TALK and TALK and TALK.

    If talking really worked, the world would be in better shape.

    But this man decided to fight back.

    Everyone is afraid of people who fight back. It means they are not going to listen to the garbage being

    promoted by the gov't/religion/politics/etc.

    Atheists are just as guilty as religious people. People will hurt other people, regardless of whether you believe in God, gods, or

    NO god at all.

    Blaming "religion" or "atheism" is just a scapegoat. Humans are the problem. Last time I checked, human beings have FREE WILL.

    Some people say free will doesn't exist. Those people can kiss my ass AND give me all their money,property,etc.

    Fat chance in hell that free will doesn't exist.

    This school shooting is just another example of someone who hates the "new world order", the "American" ONE world order.

    If the USA had their way, everyone would be an american. Too bad for the USA that will never happen.

    China is going to OWN the moon. The USA economy is crashing. Its crashing so bad the Canadian dollar is skyrocketing.

    Conclusion :

    This school shooting is just another shout against the world, and its bullshit. You've seen one hollywood movie, you've seen

    it ALL. You see one corrupt gov't, you've seen it all. You see one asshole at work, you've seen every asshole in the universe.

    This world really is STUPID. SO stupid, they are still on Earth. Nuclear powered ships COULD have been a reality.

    BUT the cold war ended. Too bad the soviet union [ when it existed ] didn't go into space and make a moon colony.

    The cold war had many advantages. It pushed technology to the edge, and beyond. NOW people are just fucking lazy.

    The moon? The USA is too lazy. China wants it. China WILL get it. If the USA hates communism, they sure have love China's

    money. Obviously money is more important than human rights, freedoms, or selling prisoner organs.

    A bit off topic? So sue me.

    One sentence conclusion :

    Eternal Vigilance is the price of FREEDOM!
