Not true, Mythbusters were able to do it with a HUGE piece of paper. :)

    I do have like-minded friends. Most of them from the Vhemt Movement. My parents didn't force any views on me, so please limit your comments to things you actually know. And for the mythology-religion difference, please tell me exactly what IS that difference. Wait, I know: Mythology is harmless, while religion is mythology mixed with superstition, and it really f*cks things up. So there you go, Magic Boy. I'll wait for your blind views on religion against regular mythology.

    I find some of the discussions on Youtube more interesting than the videos.  ;D

    I joined (well, entered the other PC anyway) but I'm not shown yet.
    Don't expect much from it, it's a bit . . . pathetic . . . to say the least.

      Well, I hate to be a quitter and a betrayer:
      Of all my currently backround applications, I do belive that I am going to have to install some of the unused things. (And I am going to remove Folding@Home since it does take its memory.)

      Maybe when Sigmatel gives me a new driver for my sound card, I will install it again.

      Well
      My laptop came with a good Sigmatel sound card
      it also came with Vista
      and it just happens that the driver is only a beta version


      Sooooo,
      When too much stuff goes through, the sound starts "Skipping" like a CD
      Specifically when playing games (graphics card interrupts it)
      and when playing music (Read ahead optimization in WMP11)

        With that new processor and it being over clocked it's already a supercomputer. ;)
