There is a project. I'm told it's worthy.Seems
they need a good deal of money, quickly, to actually get it off the ground.

It's not really relevant to my own interests, but perhaps others here would find it more compelling?

One for the writers' reference bundle: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling]10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling.

From the same folks who brought us http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe]How To Use An Apostrophe (from the first illustration, I'm assuming "as a boomerang") and many less-serious topics...

Posted by: Shader - 01-05-2010, 09:57 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (10)

*taps mic* This thing on...

So anyway... over on the official forums there is this nice long forum thread where Posi talks about the expected graphics card requirments for Going Rouge...
over yonder way

Having waded through the upteen pages over there, I'm more confused then ever, and iirc there's an expert or two over here that could help steer me
right... or at least there use to be.

Here's my situation:

My old computer:

  • Windows XP3

  • AMD 64 Processor 3500+ running at 2.21GHz (Single Core)

  • 2 GB Ram

  • nVida GeForce 8500 GT

However the powersupply in the computer in it is in the process of dieing - (it doesn't start up first try, it can take up to 10 attempts to start the
computer)

Hence I recently got the opportunity to get a Dell Optiplex 360 while over in USA and bring it back to Australia. These sell for about $1300 over here, and I
got it much cheaper.

It was going to be my gaming computer, but came in a sealed box and I couldn't check the contents. When I got home, I found it contained:
  • Win 7 Professional

  • Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 with VT (2.93GHz Dual Core)

  • 2 GB Ram (can expand up to 4GB)


  • Integrated Video Intel GMA3100

  • 255W Power Supply
So my question is this: Do I sell the Optiplex (its effectively brand new) and try to save for a better computer, or do I upgrade it? If I upgrade it,
what gets priority? I know the power supply needs attention if I try to put anything into it.

  Looney Quotes
Posted by: robkelk - 01-04-2010, 10:17 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (36)

There's http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?p=908289]a fluff thread over on the SJ Games Forums that started off with the Cartoon Network marathon of Looney Tunes on New Year's. The question posed was "what one scene from those cartoons really sticks in your mind?"

A few folks described scenes, but I think the best replies are the ones that quoted one or two lines instead. How many do you recognize?

"Ho, ha-ha! Guard, turn, parry, dodge, spin, ha, thrust!"

"And now, having re-re-disposed of the monster, exit our hero stage left."

"Sorry, folks, we ran outta gas."
"Yeah, you know how it is with these 'A' cards."

"Would I turn on the gas if my friend Rocky were in there?"
"You might, rabbit, you might."
"Well, would I drop a lighted match in this oven if my friend Rocky were in there?"

"Well, I talk LOUD! And I carry a BIGGER stick! And I use it, too!"

**thub-thub-thub**
"MEEP-MEEP!!"
**pyown-WHOOOSHH**
(somewhat generic, but what can you do?)

"Who? Franz Liszt? Never heard of him. Wrong number."

Sign: "OK Wiseguys. NOW what do I do?"

"This is gonna cause more confusion than a mouse in a burlesque show!"

"Say, boy, you cover about as much as a flapper skirt in a high wind."

"Oh, I'm going to blow it up, it obstructs my view of Venus."

"I am ze locksmith of love, no?"

"Turn out zee lights, darling. I know where everything is."

"Pardon me, but could you out help a fellow American who's down on his luck?"
"Hit the road!"

"Why, it's Mugsy! Don't look at me like that, Mugsy! I'm your pal, Mugsy, your buddy pal! Yeah!"
"It's coitains for ya, Rocky! Coitains!"

"I'm rich! I'm socially secure!"

"Yes, you're next! You're so next!"

"Poor liddle bunny... I killed the wabbit..."

"Pronoun trouble."
(This one was my contribution, and I still can't believe it's so far down in the thread.)

"I wonder if that silly duck will remember he can fly." WHAM!!! "Nope, guess not."

... where's my http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/290.html]android announcer?

(What, you thought I was going to ask for a flying car?)

I'll settle for a licensed release of Android Announcer Maico 2010 if I have to, but I'd rather have a real Maico.
