  1. If you ever meet someone from Boston, ask them to say, "park the car in the Harvard yard".

    or rather..."paak teh caa in teh haavaad yaad"

    ouch ouch ouch...

    It's one of those like scottish people speaking english: it's really fun to listen to, but really hard to understand...

  2. What, you guys across the pond haven't jumped on the American low-carb bandwagon yet? I'm SO surprised... :)

    Coke C2 is Coke with half the carbohydrates (despite the fact that looking at its name from a purely mathematical standpoint would indicate TWICE the carbs...such is American advertising...)

    Pepsi Edge is the same thing for the other cola.

  3. Aaargh!!

    Not until I understand what makes it so!

    That might take some time, even with the high quality explainers here at MSFN....

    Suffice it to say, that a lot of people can't even understand what people from boston are saying...for instance, my parents were once asked if their automatic transmission car was in the park gear...it came out more like:

    "Is y'r caa in paak?"

  4. I've got a working Child domain, with GPOs enabled with loopback processing. When I add a machine to the child domain, it doesn't detect itself as being part of the group's it's part of...and it doesn't apply the machine policy, and thus, doesn't loop back to the user policy. It doesn't matter whether the computer has correct WINS or DNS addresses, or whether it was added interactively or by hand through the server. Any help? Please?

    I can provide any information you think might be necessary to solve the problem.

  5. My 9600 SE got like a .......  1900 and it was OC'ed a bit

    It lagged through the whole thing 

    That's higher than my 9600SE ever scored by about 200 points (with Duron 1.3 and 384 of PC133 in an MSI mobo) :) You have to love the 0 framerate in the Troll's lair sim :rolleyes: So mebbe I should say that ATI is the best EXCEPT for the SE series...

  6. everything there should say "not configured"

    if it's any value but that, it's been modified, and should be changed back to "not configured"

    alternatively, you might do a spybot/adaware/hijackthis scan of your system to see if you have spyware or tons of processes running.

    Best of luck,

  7. Enjoy:

    So God decides to end the world...and decides that he needs to tell the three most important people on the planet so that they can prepare their empires adequately.

    Suddenly, George Bush, Tony Blair, and Bill Gates find themselves in the divine presence.

    "I'm sorry to inform you that the world will be coming to an end in a few short weeks," says the Almighty, and sends them back to earth.

    So Bush and Blair go on television and speak to the world:

    "We have some good news and some bad news: the good news, there is a God, but the bad news is that he's ending the world in a few weeks."

    And Bill Gates goes to Microsoft and says:

    "I have some good news and some better news: the good news is that God thinks I'm one of the most important people in the world."

    "What's the better news?" someone asks from the crowd.

    "The better news is that we no longer have to fix Internet Explorer."

  8. First, ATI all the way...though the 6800 Ultra seems to benchmark faster than the X800XT, I tend to trust boards made by the designers of said board.

    Excal. Radeon X800 Pro IceQ II VIVO

    (salida de TV, entrada de vídeo, DVI, Retail)    256 MB GDDR3    Radeon X800 Pro    AGP 8x    529,00 EUR   

    ps: if someone wants to make me a present please the last one will be appreciated 

    I'm not sure how much 529 euros are (being too lazy to go find a conversion website, but I got my X800 Pro for $400 US (Which I'm pretty sure is MUCH less, as the dollar has fallen against the Euro) ...and I'll never go back to slow cards.

    BTW, my machine, without optimizations of any kind (e.g. no overclocking, extra cooling, hardware tweaking), does about 7700 +/- 100 3DMark03 points

    EDIT: using Xrates.com, I've found that my card cost 325 Euros, and your price is 651 US dollars...I'd wait :)
