I've been using itunes for awhile now and using the drmfree software.

Lets speak facts here.... Forests are vanishing, logging is at an all time high, forests are needed to convert greenhouse gases into oxygen----- not part of natural cycles Automobiles, factories, power plants produce massive quantities of greenhouse gases that have no where to go but saturate the atmosphere, just think how much each person contributes to greenhouse gases. For instance, leave your car running in your garage for a few minutes, it becomes quickly saturated. ------- not part of natural cycles Ice in the polar regions are melting ------ whether or not this is part of a natural cycle is yet to be seen, however it is alarming. One thing is certain, without white ice reflecting sunlight back into space, the oceans will absorb the extra light rays and warm up. Weather, storms, etc.... which are fueled by heat energy seem to be more intense these past 10 years. If you don't understand how weather works, read a science textbook. Rising warm air can create tornadoes.... heat is directly related to the amount of moisture in the atmosphere over bodies of water which causes precipitation, and so on and so forth... How can anyone argue with me on any of these points stated above? The facts are there for everyone to see. The physics of these processes aren't changing.....

Greenhouse gas production is through the roof, is caused by man and is not part of the natural rhythm. Greenhouse gases are the cause of global warming. I live in Colorado and see firsthand climate changing. I remember it used to rain here every day in the summer, now we go weeks before a good rain. I remember it used to snow like crazy on the hills here so we could go sledding, now it barely snows. This year, not enough snow to go sledding on the same hills I used to as a kid. Further, I seen pictures my dad took here in Colorado and see the streets covered in snow, it hasn't been that way since the late 80's early 90's.

I can only see clockwise too. How the heck are you guys seeing it move counter clockwise lol?

That is really funny, he sounds like an immature kid.

I like playing maps that have vehicles, especially the flying ones

you have a counter strike source server?

I played for a while last night and no crashes

omg I want to play bad, but I won't be able to for at least a couple more hours

Hey guys I had a total blast playing BF2 last night. I got my first promotion too. This game isn't all that unlike BF2142, so it is like I have played it before. I couldn't play it before because I had to be able to bind mouse wheel up to quick select my rifle, and mouse wheel down to zoom, lol I know, but it is just the way I was raised in FPS games. If a game can't allow me to custom bind the mouse wheel, I can't play! I have a total custom setup. Q is my knife, C is my pistol, mouse wheel up is my rifle, caps lock is a he grenade, I use inverted mouse look, etc... the list goes on and on. I change everything around. But I finally found a site where I learned about controls.con and now it works for me, so you should see me playing BF2 more now. Just a couple questions. Are there upgraded weapons with promotions like BF2142? Also last night, I played a little bit of counter strike source with RiverRat, man he is really good at that game! If anyone else plays source too, just go to the find (=A=) players on this site and join up with us when we play.

I am extremely interested in playing 2142, but lately when I have tried to play, it crashes me so bad that I have to do a hard reset! I really hope that becomes fixed. Besides Counter Strike Source, 2142 is the only other game I enjoy as much, especially titan mode.

I guess it depends on the games you like. I like computer for the FPS games like Counter Strike and Battlefield. I used to love Halo on Xbox and now Halo 3 on the 360, but I just always go back to PC because I am so much better there. I do play Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting on the 360 and totally love it. I play that about as much as I play Counter Strike. So right now, it is about 50/50 PC/Console. Of course, I only play with my home made controller I built. http://arcadechamp.net/ctrlface1.jpg I also play Grand Theft Auto IV on the 360 with the stock controller, and that eats up a good bit of time too.

Well I guess it is not a hoax http://auto.howstuffworks.com/salt-water-fuel.htm

I think you guys are being fooled by a hoax

I would love to have this, except I would like to launch from the ground rather than from an airplane. I'd just strap it on right before work, launch to work and be there in minutes woot.

I'm game now. I got the game reloaded and controls re-configured now woot. See ya in game!

Ok Tilly, I got some good news for ya. This thing overclocks good. If you get this mobo, don't trust the mem spd auto adjustment, I found out about 45 minutes ago that was screwing me all up. I adjusted it manually to keep it at 800mhz and everything has been great since. Don't install easytune either, just do all overclocking via the bios, it will save you lots of headache. After doing this overclock to 3ghz, the CS:S stress test is running at 195fps which makes me think that I was doing something wrong earlier because my previous stress test was at 59fps. I didn't change anything on source though, so that is a head scratcher. I only bumped the cpu voltage up to 1.35V. Stock is at 1.325 and I am getting it to run at 3.0ghz. This cooler is awesome too. After running prime95 for awhile, the cpu went up to 115F, after I shut it off, in about 30 seconds it was back down to 88F, and this room I am in is warm too. I am not done with this overclock either. I couldn't seem to change any of the memory timings, loosening them up even and the computer just wouldn't post, so I am doing something wrong there. I should be able to get my mem to 4-4-4-12, it is running at 5-5-5-18. This is the memory I used too, it is supposed to overclock alot better, although I haven't had any luck, but I know I am doing things wrong now too. It is better than the wintec ampo http://www.directron.com/fsx800d2c1g.html So anyway, all I bought was that xfx geforce 8800 gs for $130 but I have the $30 refund so $100 total, 2 gigs of that firestix at about $55, the cpu at $70, the mobo at $90, the cooler at $25, shipping for it all bumped it up almost $30 so $370 total. I reused an old hdd, dvd burner, case and I would have used an old power supply if it didn't crap out on me but thank god it did because I justified getting all this stuff hehe. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/4148/ocmt7.png

So far, I have only played counter strike source with it, no overclock, and it runs it at 60-90fps with all settings turned up to the max. I had a score of about 59fps on the stress test at 1280 x 1024 all settings max. I will say, it is quite a bit more difficult to overclock then my last abit mobo, uguru makes it so much easier. This one, I am going to have to do it all from the bios it seems. I did get an overclock from 1.8gHz to 2.5gHz very easy at stock voltage but I didn't lock up the pci bus yet, so I need to go into bios and lock up a few modifiers before I can continue. Already, that is a damn nice overclock though if I do say so myself. On all the overclock forums, going off other overclocks, I should be able to get this cpu to about 3.2GHz at 1.4V.

Just finished putting it together today, it only cost me $335 because I didn't need to buy everything. I am reusing the HDD, DVD Drive, case, floppy drive. I bought the E2160, the mobo, the cooler, the xfx geforce 8800 gs, and the only thing I changed was to buffalo firestix ram. I found a great deal on it for $48 for 2 gigs of it. I am going to follow their overclock method tomorrow too. I need to get some sleep though now lol. I just finished installing all the important crap. You know whats even funnier though lol? My old computer wasn't really busted, it was just a bad power supply. I must have two bad power supplies here because neither of them worked. I went and bought another PS and my old computer booted right up lol. So now I am giving it to my girlfriend. She was on and old P4 1.9GHz with 768 MB of rdram, that thing sucked to upgrade. So now maybe I can get her into counter strike source or something.

Awesome Tilly. My computer just crapped the motherboard, so I am upgrading woot. Hopefully it should be able to play this game now. I am only getting a pentium e2160 but I am going to overclock it, a gigabyte p35 board, and a geforce xfx 8800 gt and 2 gigs of pc2 6400 ram. I pretty much copied the $500 system from toms hardware.

Its all still way expensive

I am excited and I hope new and useful ideas will come into being because of this collider.

Back in the day when Star Wars Galaxies the MMORPG was a really good game and Jedi were extremely rare, their accounts could go for as high as $2000 too. The Jedi were pretty much unstoppable though, and take out whole guilds by themselves. They were the gods of the game, and there were people with enough cash that would buy the accounts too.

I'll play it as long as it has the same control customizations as battlefield 2142. The only reason I have difficulty playing battlefield 2 is because they wont let me bind certain buttons and my brain is already wired, grrrr!

What is ETQW?
