If you don't go for the shitty, restricted version of 7 (i.e. 7 Home "Premium"), then you get a free, licensed XP VM, that still works fine for games. So you don't even need to uninstall, or dual boot anything.

The problem here is the assumption that having a degree in networking means that you're completely aware of every possible thing that goes on with different tasks. And as I love bursting bubbles, here goes. Some of the more complex issues that I've had to fix in my time as a engineer are...

I don't think that "amazing" gets that badly overused. Epic on the other hand. Or anyone who sings the word "Friday" within earshot of me. Fuck those people.

That actually hurt my mind while making sense of it... I think your H and F are broken. OT: Not really. Ely is a pretty small city by all standards, there's bigger pickings to be had in Cambridge for any thugs.

I don't think the issue is with the lethality of rubber weapons vs live ammunition, but with the risk of the confrontation escalating against acceptable force. There's a good reason why the police in both the US and the UK don't deploy live ammunition against rioting crowds. While a rioter...

Personally, I'd get all Eldar up in the world's face. For those not knowing, the Eldar in 40k lore tended to give gentle nudges to the course of the universe. They'd misdirect threats, instead of destroying them, all without giving away that it's actually them behind it. I'd be like that...

Don't you mean a krogan husk? Turians (i.e. Garrus) are more upright. Head at the very top point of their body. Krogans (i.e. Grunt), hunchbacked.

You'll probably find that none of the school staff even wanted to get close to see if it is a gun, just in case it was a gun, and the person holding it was unstable enough to shoot. You'll also probably find that it most schools it'll be standard procedure for anything potentially involving a...

Email or official text? As soon as I get a watertight answer for the person. I have SLAs to stick to, after all, and the less time spend procrastinating means my day goes smoother. Facebook? Yeah, good luck with that, I rarely check it, despite being on the PC most of the day, it only has...

Supreme Commander 2. After playing TA, SC, and Forged Alliance, I stood in line, with my copy of Borderlands (to atone. See piracy thread), and my copy of SC2, thinking "Well, Forged Alliance got a bit meh, because it was just 6 missions, different voices, and not really much else. What if...

And to burst that bubble... NoCD cracks, unless they're issued by the company who either developed or published the game, are classed as circumventing copywrite controls, which is illegal. I'd give you the exact law and code, if I had more than 5 minutes of lunch left.

Moved out when I was 24, to be closer to work, driven on by the fact that the engine on my bike almost exploded. Up until then, I paid rent to my mum, helped out around the house, and paid my share of the bills. Oh, and did all the tech support for her (both at home, and at work... Yes the...

I'd just like to throw this in here. I do have a rental subscription. And it's saved me approximately £2000 in games, just in the last 6 months, yet I still find myself occasionally firing up the Pirate Bay. Why? Because you cannot rent PC games. While this argument probably will just...

People using the word "sheep" or any derivative of sheep to describe anything other than the woolly, lamb-bearing animal. As in using it to describe someone's taste in anything. I believe I stated my feeling adequately in the "Admin of the internet" thread...

I'd only do one thing. Anyone who ever used the word "sheep" to describe anything other than a woolly animal, that grazes, and has young called lambs. Anyone who falls foul of that should be fucking shot down. Not just disconnected, but actually fucking shot. If you want to insult...
