Anyway, so, I installed Detonator version 30.82 from nvidia.com, the installer says I'm not to install because Windows XP does not like my GF 4 Ti4600. Which version of Detonator should I install, for this card to work properly? 28.32? 28.82? 29.42? 40.41?
Help much appreciated... thanks, Jon
PS. I'm new here so I have no idea what I'm doing or where this post will appear... :)

...okay, this one is the straw that broke the camels back. Not even considering this tweaker's perfectly plucked eyebrows, I'm never going to buy a Mac as long as their marketing assholes are trying to push this message.
"Get out of your Windows world, it's not worth it."
I'm sorry, but I've had XP for around a year now and I can't remember the last time I crashed. Infact, one of the shittiest applications that I dread the most is QuickTime. Installing QuickTime was even more invasive than RealPlayer - why the shit would I want QuickTime to open up a .jpeg or .pict file ?
I really do like the look and feel of Mac, but they are lying and being insulting with their new ad campaign and I feel it is alienating more people than it is winning people. My only guess is that they have seen XP and what's on the horizon for the OS, understand that it is rock solid (at least far more solid than getting a little black bomb icon and a restart button that somehow will not actually restart your trance-lucent Ikea matching lifestyle accessory aka Mac) that there are applications out there for windows that blow iChat (www.trillian.cc), Rendezvous (Remote Desktop), and iTunes (Listen.com's Rhapsody) out of the water and they are scared. They are cashing in on the shortcomings of Win98 before people upgrade to XP.
This advertisement is almost a recruitment piece to attract more self-described "oppressed" misguided psuedo-inteligencia into the great overpriced, poorly supported, and trend driven Jihad that is Apple's advertising campaign.
If there wasn't so much a falsified image (see: Urban Outfitters) attached to a pile of microchips inside a plastic candy coating, I would really be in to buying my friend's tiBook. But as it stands, I want nothing to do with something so heavily attached to identity.

I want to buy a Flatscreen monitor from Iiyama so I called up a couple of places here in Luxembourg to see what they would charge for it.
I called mabye like 12 places and most of them didn't know Iiyama, didn't know the model or basically didn't care :-(
WTF, can't they order it, atleast get some infos about it. I want to give them my money and they apparently couldn't care less. Oh god, typing a couple of infos in a computer to see what I want is work, so no way Mister, we won't do it
So far I got 1 (yes, one !!) answer and they basically told me to go fuck myself:
Yes, we can get it for you, but we won't assure the tech support or even the guarantee if it breaks. You will have to go to Belgium in that case. But we will take you money, thank you

Some dude picked me up, drove me to a tank.. i got of, took the tank and we did a dual Sherman killing spree owning two "flags" destroying one of those big ass tanks on the way (he couldn't decide who to kill). Excellent stuff..
Nothing like getting the flag up, waiting for a few secs and seeing how people start to spawn under the protection of the big old sherman.
Why anyone didn't make a game like this before is.... weird.
Oh and you should all buy it :-)

In the US, nearly the entire country hangs on every syllable President Bush says. They sit and wait for him to make a mistake, and then the following day whatever he slipped up on is on the front page of 99% of the country's newspapers. Many Americans can't understand that along with the leader of the country, he's also an imperfect human being who, no matter how hard he tries, cannot be perfect.
My question is...are other countries like this? Does your population sit and watch their leader speak primarily to hear him fuck up and then blast him/her afterwards? Do they listen to a 2-hour speech but instead of coming away with lessons and a better understanding of the country, do they snicker that he said "an" instead of "a" or "but" instead of "and"? Are all other countries as trivial as we are?

25,000 lines of hardcore C ! how am I supposed to write a report on that?

Not only did they recently chop my bandwidth by about half, they've now implemented some weird thing where if I'm uploading anything, then my bandwidth gets cut down to like 10k/sec.
They didn't even bother to mail me to inform me of any changes.
Blow me, Rogers cable!
The P2P revolution may have been good for free (ahem) music, but it's making ISPs do some stupid shit. My university even went so far as to limit ResNet users to 500mb/week.
