    what happens if my playstation dies and I buy a new one? Do I get free replacement disks, or do I go buy a console that isn't a slot machine for games?

  8. Re:a reason for me to change... on Hack in the Box Meets Windows Vista · · Score: 1
    ... providing 6 GB of RAM to the vm and still running slow thanks to aero


    I see 2 problems with your setup. 1: The VM doesn't emulate a 3d card, and 2: the VM doesn't emulate a 3d card. It may seems as though these two points are the same, but i thought it was important enough that I should list it twice.

    Why don't you try to run a high graphic game on that VM as well? From the Virtual Server FAQ:

    Q. Can I run Direct3D applications inside Virtual PC or Virtual Server 2005 R2?
    A. No. Virtual Server 2005 R2 does not support Direct3D. Virtual Server emulates an S3Trio64 video card for 2d video.

    Aero is a 3D GRAPHICAL INTERFACE. It requires a 3d card. You could give it 20 GB of ram, but it will still run slowly because you need a graphics card.

    The Ornithopter isn't the key point to those combos. The Enduring Renewal is. For the Infinate life and Fallen Angel, another cost 0 creature works. A quick search finds Shield Sphere (0/6) and Phrexian Walker (0/3). With the Infinate Mana combo, any cost 1 creature would also work.

    Yes, some buyers hate sniping, but most buyers hate bidding wars even more.
    Excuse me? If a buyer doesn't like bidding wars, then why go to an auction site? The purpose of the site is to bid on items. There are plenty of other places to buy items at fixed prices.
  15. Re:3145 MPG on UBC Engineers Reach Mileage Of Over 3000 MPG · · Score: 1
    The rules:
    The performance run will consist of each vehicle running six laps around a 2.6 km (1.6 mile) oval test track. The vehicle must achieve a minimum six lap average speed of 24 km/hr (15 mph). This means that each vehicle will be required to travel a total distance of 15.5 km (9.6 miles) in a maximum of 38.4 minutes. The vehicle must not exceed a single lap average speed of 25mph (40.23km). This means a vehicle must take longer than 3 minutes 50 seconds to complete each lap. Vehicles must be capable of ascending a 1 percent grade and descending a 7 percent grade.

    In case you don't actually know, the phrase "børk! børk! børk!" indicates that it is being translated into swedish chef, and not actually swedish. The swedish chef is a muppets character that essentially made fun of cooking shows.
