I'm a moral nihilist. I don't believe in right or wrong.

PS: It's not snobbery to dislike swearing. There's so many other ways to express your disdain than to reduce yourself to such impotent, over-used and meaningless words. Swear away, if you think it makes you "right". Go for it. You're as stubborn as me - admit it. I do. I am. I said sorry! I didn't ...

Gasbag gurus are the worst.

It takes two to tango mate. You are enjoying this, else you'd have held back and not replied... so why not do just that? Shall we agree to mutually disagree? See, amicable agreements can be made without reducing yourself to cursing. I have nothing else to do tonight. So that might give the allusion...

I forgive you for that. Who wants a fight? I don't. Chill, you'll have a heart attack. If I'm of no consequence to you, why are you acting in such a reactionary, childish manner? Dude, let it drop. I will - deal? Same applies for everyone else :) I'm not fighting. I'm pointing out the obvious. You'...

Very adult of you, Brian. Super. Just the way to "show me" how to behave :lol: Little boys in men's bodies... bless. How about you just drop the tantrum and drop it. Period. Who wants to perpetuate this nonsense? I think I don't. Grow up, let it go. Drop anchor in the harbour, Brian, and rock my bo...

Compared to what? Your childish "I am rubber, you are glue, words bounce off me and stick to you!". Again. Shut up you irritable little cunt.

I forgive you for acting in the wrong manner towards my un-thought-out posting. Let's move on, shall we? :) Sorry if offence was caused, it wasn't meant. It takes one to cause an argument, but one to refuse to react. All you have to do is hold off with the pride, and avoid the avalanche of childish...

So has anyone been doing any reading lately? Me, I suffered a slight Asimov addiction the past year and have been reading most of his books, including Foundation and the Robot series. Not sure which book is my favorite. Possibly The Gods Themselves or the End of Eternity. Not literature, he told th...

When I was ~15 I was really into a video game called Freelancer ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game) ). I learned typing in completely free form just by typing a lot on that video game, I never enjoyed having the standard positions on the keyboard and doing exercises, I just learn...

So, I finally got moved into my new place late last week and have been doing nothing but unpacking crap I know I don't need, but can't bring myself to get rid of, since. While I was stashing stuff in the attic, I happened to come across this stashed away back in one of the corners under the wrapping...

From the preview picture on the front page I thought "oh wow, that's a pretty cool pedal board setup".

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Citroen2cv6.jpg/800px-Citroen2cv6.jpg A second cousin of mine had a 2CV, must be 12+ years ago now. It was so so so bad. The suspension was hilariously soft, so much so that in a cross wind on the motorway the whole car would start to lean an...

Can't go wrong with Japanese for second hand reliability. Lately I've been looking at Honda Legend's with LPG conversions. You can get late 90s / early 00s examples for under £2500. Everything is leather and electric with enough space for someone like me that's 6ft 6 (I don't do hatchbacks very well...

Get another second hand car, drive it for a couple of years, dump it. Repeat. Me, I don't care much about cars, there's slow traffic anyway, it just needs to get me from A to B. I second this motion. Buying a second hand car is an art. A lot of people are afraid of buying relatively new cars with h...

I prefer protopunk bands like MC5 and Iggy & The Stooges. I don't get the hype around the Ramones. Not a fan of the Sex Pistols either.

He was referencing the stereotype that the Chinese like to eat dogs. Not that the Chinese are dogs. It would be like making a sub forum for Irish users (such as myself) and calling it the potato sub forum.

As for the Americans...

So while looking into bank transfers and associated fees the other day, I came across this website called Transferwise. Anyone use or used it?

Neither look pretty to me. Overall, or the backlight colours. If I had to choose, I would probably go with the blue because I prefer the blue switches over red on plate mounted boards.

I think Hazro do some of the cheapest 2560x1440 resolution LED monitors. Can be had for £400 ($600 or so) for the 8 bit panels. No sign of them on Newegg though and they only seem to be on the OCUK and Scan webstores in the UK at the minute as well. Scan.co.uk has the more expensive 10 bit panel at ...

I struggled to play TF2 on my i5 when I tried, even when I lowered settings and res :/ One of the reasons I'm now building a llano rig, so I can have a LAN rig without the need for a dedicated gpu :) Brian's suggested build isn't bad, although I'd fork out a little more to get a quad llano chip :) ...

I'd probably go with something like this; http://i.imgur.com/WEoh9.png The HDD really jacks the price up though. I remember when 500GB drives were going for 30-35 quid in the UK. The A6 APU is a tri-core by AMDs usual method of locking a core, so future boards could provide core unlocking. £427 work...

Yeah. AMD Drivers have a reputation for being poor. But I don't think they're anywhere near as bad as people like to make out. I've got a 5670 and I have never had any driver issues with it. I think the amount complaining about drivers compared to the amount who actually buy their cards is a pretty ...

mintberryminuscrunch wrote:can't you run tf2 with the integrated grphics of the i3/i5?

You can. But the AMD Llano chips are cheaper and have much better integrated graphics compared to Intel.

I would skip the Phenom II 965 and go for the cheaper 955. Reason being I would overclock the 955 to 965 speeds with no more than an adjustment of the multiplier (should be no need to mess with voltages). That is unless I didn't want to overclock myself and the 965 was the same price or less than th...
