Use Limewire to download Limewire Pro :p. It has significantly faster searches. Well worth it.

As do I.QuoteI third that.QuoteI agree.QuoteMicrosoft is really mean for releasing Halo 3 when the PS3 launches. There's no other word top describe it; it's really mean. What are they, kindergardners? Oh, and they're also hypocritical. They sais perhaps a year ago that the industry was not about competition. I refuse to buy from such meanie hypocrites.Halo/Halo 2 are the most over-rated games in the world.

Debate Den / Sex before marriage
« on: June 01, 2005, 10:26:46 pm »Quote
And so was I; the result of my parents fooling around. I really have no problem with it. None.QuoteBut it's a sin it stops life from being born. How would you feel if you were an "accident"? This horrible sin. Your parents may had had another kid but nothing like you. It stops life from happening life is God's plan LIKE IT OR MNOT.
Um, I was an accident. Doesn't really bother me.
And really, MiraclrPlz, you have no right telling people when/how they should have sex. This is not currently a debate, it is you repeating how terrible sex is over and over while others attempt useful conversation. This is useless.

Lets see, the origional argument was against dvd playback in the PS2 to lower prices. Well, I can buy the PS2 for $149.99 here, which includes DVD playback, or I can buy the XBOX for $149.99 here, plus buy an XBOX dvd playback kit for $24.99 here.
So, Sony included DVD playback for no more money than the XBOX without DVD playback. Whats the problems now?
The CSS decryptor for DVD playback costs a manufacturer a anual cost of $15,000 a year, no matter how many times or how many products it is used in. So both Sony and Microsoft are paying $15,000 a year. Aren't you a little more pissed off at Microsoft for selling the "playback kit" separately now.

4. Do not flame people based on their beliefs.I must say, after reviewing the Debate Den rules (rule 4 and 5 posted above) moderators do have a right to remove MiraclrPlz posting rights from the Debate Deb, but as I said before, that person is not going to be me.
5. If we feel you do not follow these rules, or are not adding intelligence to the debate, we can remove the right for you to acess the Debate Den.

The AIM protocol does not allow the changing of names (or as far as I am aware it does not) and Gaim does not help with this.
But, does have some benifits. It does not screw up your computer, supports tabbed windows, and new features are always being added. You should give it a look here.

The licensing fees are minimal when a huge corporation is doing it. The price would not be significantly lower without it.

Questions:The three black boxes are Zalman Fan Mates, you can find NewEgg information here. It allows me to adjust the speed of fans. I have never liked flashing, colorful, external fan controllers, so I bought these to "set it" and "forget it" :p.
The 3 little boxes attached beside the hdd area..what are those (very bottom right of pic)?
Is that the 120mm fan Zalman or the 90mm?
I'm gonna be getting the 120...how quiet is urs?
That is the 90mm Zalman fan. I have it set to its max speed and the cpu stayes well beneath 70C and it is wisper quiet (case fans are MUCH louder). The cpu is a 3.2GHz P4C also, so that is quite a bit of heat to remove. Does an excellent job.

Debate Den / Nothing After Death
« on: May 31, 2005, 09:36:46 pm »
After science class, and learning about the composition of living things, I have lost most religious beliefs.
I have always had a fear of the moment I die. I do not believe in any religion; so I have no real thoughts on what happens after death. When I was younger I would dream about the absolute nothingness that consumes everything after death. Does anyone else have similar thoughts?
Also, what do people believe to be outside our solar system, and what is outside that, and what is outside that, and what is outside that, etc. I find it terribly mind-numbing.
Please note: No flaming, trolling, or other forms of spamming the SZ boards. This is meant to be an intelligent display of your thoughts. If you disagree, explain why; if you agree, explain why.

I am not sure; I am generally consumed by a lack of religiouse beliefs, but sometimes I would like for it to be true. Truthfully though, I do not believe in souls.

I just administer the server, I have never undertaken any mod actions on the forums, nor do I plan on starting. I agree that being an idiot is not grounds for banning.
