  2. Re:Spray Paint... on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    wasn't aware it was a law, interesting. the part that i wonder about is the enamel paints tho, like, they dont fume, they're not sprayed, and you only get a thimble-full in the little jar. what could you possibly do with em. =D

  3. Re:Calculator key? on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    gotta agree with you here, somewhat. i dont use ANY bonus keys because they're different on every computer. the only one i use all the time is the calculator button, have this old microsoft internet keyboard (i know i know shaddap) at work and its got a calculator button about a centimeter above the / and * keys on the numpad. couldnt be more convenient to just hit and start hammerin numbers.

    you do, if you go to wal-mart. same goes for model glue and testor's enamel paints, for some reason.

  9. holy crap! on Microsoft Fails to Comply With EU Requirements · · Score: 2

    i know there aren't a lot of microsoft supporters/fans around these parts (understatement of the year) ... but isn't $5M a day a bit, oh i dunno, steep?

  10. Re:Ati video cards on KOTOR II Pushed To Retail Too Soon? · · Score: 4, Informative

    ive been having pretty massive issues on my new setup, and its an nvidia card.

    the most irritating being that everytime it plays an ingame cinematic it changes to 640x480x60hz from the 1600x1200x75hz i'm playing at, which isnt so irritating (except everything on my second monitor gets shifted). the problem is that when it returns to the game engine after the movie its locked at about 5fps. i have to go into graphics settings and change something so it 'resets' and i get my full 75fps back.

    if that bug would be fixed i could almost overlook the fact that conversations seem to break occasionally, people i have high influence with occasionally start hating me for no reason (mainly the handmaiden), and party members start referencing things ive never done.

    almost =/

    its not one of seven available images, you're next door. the pics are as if you were walking up and down the street.

    which is actually pretty neat. in searching for a restaurant in NYC i was able to move two blocks to the left and find a friend of mine's apartment.

    you know i can almost undestand a doop when its some tiny piece of news that someone could have missed, maybe it just had a few comments.

    but holy cow does that ever not apply here.

  13. Re:No offense to the VGmusic people, but... on Play it Again, Samus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    sometimes midi has its uses. i go to vgmusic.com when i need a new ringer on my cell.

    zonk added the link to the midi, not the submitter. the submission ends with the second quotation mark.

  15. Re:Emulation is a godsend on Emulation and the Video Game Industry · · Score: 1

    thought i would mention about the usb controllers, since the previous poster/GP hadnt tried it.

    i use a dual shock plugged into a usb adapter that you can pick up at any gajillions of places, ncsx, lik-sang, even radioshacks have them sometimes. makes the dualshock show up as a HID, no software required. no lag at all, takes multiple button presses just fine unlike a keyboard.

    the adapters usually run like ten bucks and i couldnt recommend it more. its the only way to emulate psx (btw yes i'm actually using real discs, FFT, SOTN, Xenogears). it even works really well for snes emulation, since the button layout is pretty similar. as long as whatever program you're using lets you map joystick problems, it should do the trick for you.

  16. Re:Hahahah on Boot Process Visualization · · Score: 1

    i was wondering what that was about. i'm confused and i think i like it.

    since i could never see any of these bootcharts, i have to assume that this program randomly photoshops pictures while your lin box boots. therefore i need it.

  17. Re:My guess on Sony PSP Defects Reported · · Score: 1

    pretty much true for most of their consumer level electronics, at least at the lower end. i dont think anything i've ever seen of theirs that contains a cd or dvd drive has lasted more than a year. same goes for the car stereos but i assume that could be a florida heat thing.

    that 'want some rye' line, you just awoke a part of my long-buried psyche man, that is awesome. god that makes me feel so old, i'm gonna have to see if i can find that cd tonight.

    the 6600GT's are in the $150-200 range. two of them in SLI according to HardOCP keeps up with and sometimes surpasses a single 6800 Ultra, which would run you $500-600 last i checked.
