    Some questions about VirtualBox

    Thank you very much, viranimus. My reasoning for allocating so much of my HD and RAM was that I no plans to actually use my host machine, and from what I hear, the dynamic feature is bad for overhead. This was taking into account allocating a good deal of RAM, so that the host would have less...

    What should we "retake" next?

    Uh, Valve better be workin' on Half-life 2 episode 3 anyway... If they have been putting out those fuckin Left 4 Dead games and Portal 2 instead of actually giving us a satisfying ending to Half-life, then gods help them when they die and go to gaming hell...

    Some questions about VirtualBox

    I have some questions about VirtualBox. If I create a virtual machine, is it sandboxed from the host machine? That is, if I get a virus on my VM, is the host machine safe? Also, along those lines, can I allocate 90% of my harddrive and RAM and use the VM as my normal machine? Can files...

    Recomend me a game for my father.

    I would recommend the Jak and Daxter Series. The first is a platformer with a good story, the second is a platformer with cars, guns and a great story. The third is not exactly my favorite, but still good.

    Should organ donors be put further up the list for transplants?

    Well, considering the fact that I am an organ donor because it was cheaper for me to get my license, I'd say two things about this: (1)It is probably not fair because you will be dead when you give up your organs, so you don't really lose anything. (2)How many other people are organ donors...

    Lets See what our Preceptions are! AKA how racist is the escapist

    I bet I can get some weed from him. I bet I can get some weed from him. Jameson whiskey! Good beer. Crazy. Backwards laws regarding women. Morons. Either (1) we fucked them out of their land, OR (2) Three cans of Longhorn Longcut Straight, please. I know that they are my countrymen, but...

    Does "c**ks*c*ker" qualify as hate speech?

    Don't care. I like to say it, and I like having it done to me, and don't care if what I say offends someone. I generally use racial slurs, but only because I respect gay men and women, and think that, uh, um, "diggers" are stupid. BUT, I lived in a ghetto for a year, and I know that the blacks...

    What are your philosophical leanings?

    I don't have an opinion either way, as I have not studied him. I was going to take a course on existentialism last fall, but the course was at 8:00am, and 40 minutes away from my house to boot. Needless to say, I didn't take the class.

    What are your philosophical leanings?

    You know, I am not surprised that so few people have commented on this, but what I am surprised is that the few posters actually know something. Sidrion, I think that you are right about communism only working if the whole world converted at the same time. I think that the idea of a...

    What are your philosophical leanings?

    Escapists, I would like to know your philosophical leanings. I posted this here in the off-topic forum because I do not want to know about your Religion or Political affiliations. I want to know what ethical system you follow, what your political philosophy is (again, not conservative/liberal)...

    Technical terms that irritate you when misused on the internet

    A better way to say this is not that it cannot be proven true, but that it has not been shown to be false.

    Technical terms that irritate you when misused on the internet

    Temper and heat treat. I swear, on just about any show on tv (yeah, its not the internet, but it happens here too) if they are talking about hardening steel, they say that it is tempering. You heat treat to the max hardness, THEN you temper the steel so that it looses some of its hardness but is...

    Why is marijuana illegal?

    Dude... if you hallucinate when you smoke weed, its laced. And to me, it doesnt matter if it is dangerous or not. It is my right to chose what goes into my body, not the government. I drink, I smoke, and I dip. How is it that I am 21, the government thinks I am responsible enough to carry a...

    Quick question, is this stealing?

    Actually, unless the product in question is released under a different license than games generally are (like if it where released under the GNU GPL), then you are not allowed to alter the code in ANY way. It is not stealing, but it is illegal. Of course, I make a distinction between illegal and...
