Perhaps you don't, but others do. Home depot titanium hammer. Changes the hammer pounding experience. And I'm not even mentioning the hammers with tuning forks built into them to reduce vibrations from pounding.
It's true titanium is lightweight and strong. But nothing compares to the striking power of properly tempered S-7 tool steel
The impact strength of the S-7 eliminates the mushrooming associated with standard serrated titanium face hammers
And although the steel tip adds little to the overall weight of the hammer, it does concentrate more mass at the face where it's an advantage
Well, let's all raise our glass to this superior human specimen. Don't have a TV you say? Well I haven't raped any dogs lately. Can I get a golf clap too?
They are multiplier locked. And even then it's only for multipliers above the stock. You can still raise the FSB to speeds above what the chip was designed for.
For example, my shiny new Athlon 64 Winchester (90nm, socket 939) is currently running at 2330mhz (233mhz x 10) from it's stock 2000mhz (200mhz x 10). I can also run it at 2375mhz (250mhz x 9.5).
Nowhere did I say the "moral majority" were "stupid" by any standard. Nor did I call any of them bigots. Maybe you want to reply to a thread a little more in tune with your inferiority complex?
My tongue-in-cheek comment (notice the "Funny" modifier up top) was poking fun at how the seperation of church and state has blurred considerably under this administration. We're seeing more public schools teaching religion as science, funds being cut to programs that are not in total agreement with some religious standards, and the endorsement of a particular religion by a judge in the courtroom.
Actually the Genesis beat the SNES in sales, yet the Game Gear did not beat the gameboy.
Time to show your work. I'll go first:
In 1992, the SNES was released in Europe as the rival to the Sega Megadrive. In Japan, the Super Famicom easily took control of the gaming market. Despite a slow start, the SNES in North America eventually overtook the Sega Genesis, thanks to franchise titles such as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Street Fighter 2, and the Final Fantasy series. In the U.S., the Genesis barely outsold the SNES, however total worldwide sales of the SNES were higher than the Genesis.
So you're telling me you would rather download 5 disks worth of stuff and install it than cart your disk around?
Reaching for arguement won't help make a case. When the content is downloaded on your PC, you can right click on any of the software in the Steam list and make a backup. Being the nice people that they are, Valve even let's you choose to make the backups on CD's or DVD's.
So yesterday when I brought my 4 CD's worth of Half-Life 2 to my friends LAN Cafe, I had my cake and ate it too.
When I buy over Steam I get a few things for my dollar. For starters, the game right now. But that's neither here nor there.
For this demonstration, we'll follow the train of my thoughts with the package I selected, the silver package. At the price of $59.95 USD, I get the following:
The Half-Life 2 game (duh)
Counter-Strike: Source, the multiplayer component
Half-Life (original) Source
Day of Defeat Source
The complete Valve catalogue, including all expansion packs and modifications
And most importantly, the satisfaction that my dollar went towards the actual developers of the game, and not a middle man that printed a bunch of boxes and slapped their name on it.
Sure you may be able to get it cheaper if you are looking at the bottom line. But with Steam I am getting value.
I remember all the previews and special edition magazines that had the same theme, "Who will come out on top: Halo 2, Doom 3, or Hal-Life 2?"
To be honest, I was rooting for Half-Life 2. I always respected Valve's commitment to their community in their support of their game(s). Halo 2 was more of the same (yet somehow more fun than the first). Doom 3 was pretty, but had the personality of a tray of ice cubes.
I guess what I am trying to say in my own biased way, is, I'm glad I was backing Half-Life 2. So far I am not disappointed.
And by the way, has anyone noticed the excessive use of exploding barrels yet? It's like City 17 is a giant nitro nitro plant and they can't seem to keep track of the product.
Of course this particular reviewer may be more open minded. So either we have bias or incompetence in the reviews. Either way, it doesn't add up to great processor reviews.
I saw processors, because that is the only overt bias Tom's can realy be called on.
Because Tom's hardware is notoriously biased towards Intel. Photochopped P4 cores, funky timings on AMD rigs, and of course; editorials like this from staff writers which say the following:
There is nothing finer than raising the hackles of delusional AMD lovers. However, today I do so with a heavy heart. This is no time to take aim at the pompous, self-righteous head-in-the-sand-ostriches of the alternative chip lifestyle. One must embrace them, hug them and wipe away their tears.
I hate to sound like an elitist, but this is fairly common practice for water cooled PC's. Except most people tend to use smaller heater cores. That, and tend to buy them new and clean.
I'm hoping they really plan ahead. Make sure the residents have plenty of lockers full of weapons and ammunition just in case personnel become demonic flesh eating zombies, or disembodied flaming heads.
Oh, and don't forget to hide little closets all over the facility. Who knows when hidden closets large enough for a full sized human will come in handy?
But on the other hand, I never order pay per view. In the extremely rare occasion that I do rent a movie (probably been about 4-5 years now since I have done it, come to think of it) I would rather go out and grab a DVD to watch it in progressive scan. That, and see any extras that are on the disc.
SCrew it. I'll keep recording shows and streaming them to my PC.
And I had no clue that in a time when a majority of middle aged and elderly people using PC's with just enough knowledge to turn them on, an elitist asshole could belittle someone who took time out of their life to learn nuances of security on the internet.
The download servers are already at max capacity, but I have a little hypothesis. Since Half-Life 2 is such an anticipated game, and since everyone and their cousins will be downloading it, Valve realized this will cost entirely too much in bandwidth, especialy on days like today. To compensate, they set a user/bandwidth limit.
What will happen is this. Currently, Steam acts as a peer to peer hub (remmeber Valve hiring Bram Cohen, Mr. Bit Torrent?). Anyone with a sizeable LAN Cafe will know this because empty chairs with a copy of Steam running kills their bandwidth. Once people have the preload completely downloaded, they will begin uploading it and add more bandwidth to the mix. The more people that have it, the more it becomes available. I get the feeling LAN Cafes get a little more sway in terms of firsties since they generally have better connections than Counter-Strike junkies at home.
Not that getting the pre-load at this point is a necessity. There will be waves of preloads with content. This first one just being some static art that won't be changed, like textures, voices, and some models.
Since when is owning a patent ever about actually having a product released or ready for release? Unless of course you can find someone marketing laser pointers specificaly as "kitten workout devices".

So what you're saying is people with $500+ PC's should have to do exactly what a $100-$150 Gamecube, Playstation 2, or Xbox does?
the Futurama cryogenic lab tech.... "Welcooome....To the WOOOOORLD of 5 YEARS AGO!"
I'm curious if they've ever listened to me utter, "bunch of assholes..." while I was waiting for help?

What does ReplayTV have to do with this thread topic?

err.... Money too.
Huh.....I guess many can buy everything.
Well if democracy costs $2.6 million, how much for a quasi-constitutional theocracy?

1. The copy that is available on the internet cannot play online.
Assuming you use XBox Live! to play your XBox games online. And not services like....say...... XLink Kai or XBox Connect.

Heh, with the mod chip, I don't need no DVD drive to play my games!
Hell, you don't even need a mod chip. Just find someone with an Action Replay and a copy of Splinter Cell, 007 Nightfire, or Mechassault.
I'm hoping they really plan ahead. Make sure the residents have plenty of lockers full of weapons and ammunition just in case personnel become demonic flesh eating zombies, or disembodied flaming heads.

Right away I want to cry out that this is BS.
