    Dear UK. WTF are you doing ?

    I'm in scotland, I've heard a little about this law. The gist of it (as my limited legal knowledge has it) is this: if you are being questioned by police for something they suspect you of doing and they either seize a data device from your person or get a warrant to confiscate your computers...

    Help with computer building please :)

    True enough - but I wasn't suggesting you could get an ideal rig cheaper than building it - more low to mid end systems. Sorry, should have clarified that. Quite right about higher spec . dream-pc stuff but for 300-400 quid you can get a perfectly good rig that will run most stuff and...

    Help with computer building please :)

    On a more general note, it's quite often cheaper to buy a PC or laptop than it is to build one of equivelant or better specs - but i love system building so never really done it until recently. Turns out 1k will get you a damn good laptop these days :D

    Help with computer building please :)

    Only thing that sticks out to me (aside from the graphics card & optical drive as others have said) is the CPU - you'd get some more bang for your buck if you went for a core i5 or if you were feeling adventurous even one of the new AMD cpus but I've not used one of those yet so can't really...

    You are proclaimed "Evil Overlord of Earth", what do you do first?

    I would renounce the throne, start a rebellion against 'the system' and conquer the world, country by country. stick it to the man, etc etc. seriously though, I'd cut off scotland from the UK (using very very big saws) then tow it down to the equator, somewhere in the mid-atlantic. then I'd...

    Its a racist day in my neighborhood.

    Being able to walk away from that takes alot of doing, you should be proud. I don't think you *should* have done anything else, although personally I think I would have said something. Maybe not exploded (casual (and even good-natured, however wrong that may sound) racism is par for the...

    Canadian Politician Okays Copyright Violation Because Nobody Cares Anyway

    it's a shame, this guy sounds down to earth but if a fuss is made over what in my view is quite a realistic view of the matter, he'll be resigned and there will be one less reasonable polititian in ca.gov OT gripe: At the end of the day, the only one DRM ever inconvenienced was the consumer...

    Lets make a bet on Skyrim.

    It's posts like yours that make me wish we had upvote buttons. You, sir, win the internet. OT: I'm going to say 15mb. Anyone remember if new vegas had a launch day patch? if not, it wasn't long after

    A side character who was better than the hero

    sykes from crysis. he was 100% more awesome than nomad, and his voice fit. EDIT: actually, he ended up getting his own game so it seems that crytek agrees with me :D

    Random Rant of the Day: Screw fancy restraurants!

    I've been to some 'fancy' restraunts, used to be a chef myself and often cook what might be considered 'fancy' meals for myself, but can quite happily live on beer and pizza until the end of time. I've also been to (and worked in) plenty of pub-food type / 2 star hotels, and through my...
