Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!

I installed it yesterday, and haven't had any problems. Aside from it pestering me to reboot every five minutes after it finished while I was trying to watch a movie. I would be indescribably happy...

Re: Favorite aspect of 4x games

I like the exploration, and building my own little economic empire. Hell, sometimes I play 4X games with the AIs turned off, just so I can happily go about exploring the galaxy, developing new...

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!

And since as of June, every Dell sold with an XP license will count as a Vista sale for Microsoft, they've even got the "Your old OS is selling better than your new OS" PR angle covered. Ingenious. ...

Re: OT: Soviet Re-Birth

I don't really see how Russia returning to Communism would really be a huge deal, aside from the knee-jerk "ZOMG! Communism is teh opozit of democrasee! Oh noes! They gonna kill us all!"

Re: OT: Soviet Re-Birth

I think one of the big problems facing America right now is the concept that you must chose between Democrats and embrace all liberal ideals, or Republicans and embrace all the conservative ideals. ...

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!

Things they've done better than Linux:
1. Ease of use. Linux is not easy to use for people not already well familiar with how computers in general work, and slapping a GUI on top of it doesn't...

Re: OT: Soviet Re-Birth

Since I'm Canadian, my opinion on the matter is rather irrelevant but if I were able, I'd give my vote to Obama for one simple reason: He's the only candidate not campaigning on a platform of hate. ...

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!

I do have to say though, that other than Windows Update, I've never had any serious problems with any of my Windows machines. I think part of the problem is, and I don't mean to sound like more of...

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!

I tried updating to SP3 a few days ago. Didn't get too far. I created a nice little screenshot compilation of the joys of Windows update, I'll throw it up here when I get home.

Then of course...

Re: OT: Soviet Re-Birth

Renegade: My main issue with Harper is the fact that he seems quite in favour of passing his conservative Christian beliefs into laws. I have no particular issue with leaders having conservative (or...

Re: OT: Soviet Re-Birth

Well patriotism is nothing more than love and pride in one's country. There seems to be a rather widespread belief however, that being proud of your country means you cannot, nay, must not...

Re: OT: Anti-virus / firewall solutions

I use Comodo as a firewall, and haven't bothered with anti-virus in some time. I've used Norton, Mcafee, AVG & Kapersky at various points, and as far as I can remember they've detected two "viruses"...

Re: OT: Hostility in Forums

Re: OT - Sentience

The thing is, self-awareness isn't a wishy-washy concept that can mean different things to different people. It's a well-defined quality with well-defined methods for testing for it. There seems to...

Re: OT - Sentience

Self-determination in the context I used it refers to the actual ability, rather than the right that you are referring to. If you enslave a human, you may deprive him of his right to...
