Ah, yes. The PEOPLE'S Republic of China. Hard at work for the people, naturally.

Technically this trial isn't even over yet, they had court sessions earlier THIS MONTH to decide on what the damages are. I think they still haven't settled it. And I'm not sure where you've heard that Limewire has been shut down, but you couldn't be more mistaken. Last I heard, Limewire has been working on a new subscription program, that is Cloud-based, for quite some time. As if they could ever shut down the Gnutella network. It's WAY bigger than Limewire. Limewire is just a head of one of billions of needles that make up the network. You're telling me they shut that down simply because Limewire's old program is "gone"? Ever heard of Frostwire? Think of it as the Limewire equivalent of what Kazaa Lite used to be to Kazaa. I would wager that not many users will be getting fined or having charges pressed against them, as well. Maybe some more severe cases where the person was acting as a HUB (sharing files) for illegal sharing, but that's about it. You have no idea how big Limewire was. They don't even have enough money or resources to hunt down everyone and search their computers for evidence that might not even be there. This isn't about people sharing music/programs illegally. It's about their money. And they aren't about to waste all of the money they're getting from this case on pennies. If you would have but read a little on the matter, you would know that there is hardly ANY talk of prosecuting ANY users of Limewire. In fact, Limewire has been taking the FULL beating of it's users illegal activities. The prosecution was actually trying to hold Limewire responsible for EACH individual act of illegality that it's users have performed. Meaning that Limewire was going to be sued in place of the individual users, but for the same grand total. Luckily for them, they are only being sued for a single award per each infringed work. Apparently the number of direct infringers will be a factor in deciding how much will be paid from each infringed work. So, basically your whole post was wrong or inaccurate. You can still use Limewire. They ARE still a company. You CAN safely delete data so it can never be recovered. And chances are VERY likely that 99% of all Limewire users will go un-effected by all of this. In the grand scheme of things... NOBODY will be getting fined $3,000+ for this. You spread fear like FOX News. Could probably just toss it into a microwave. >.> Precisely.

That, or, the supposed "Pro" is hacking too, and knows that only his hacks are beatable with other hacks. My skepticism runs rampant.

Properly defragging and cleaning your system registry CAN and WILL definitely make a very noticeable difference to system performance. The registry is a very large and complex place, and having empty registry keys will most certainly have an adverse effect on your system. Microsoft/Windows' tools suck, and so, the built in registry tool, which Windows uses to manage it's registry, sucks as well, and fails to maintain it properly. If your registry becomes cluttered up with too many uninstalled programs, orphaned startup tasks, corrupted drivers, spyware/adware entries, file paths for files that have been moved or deleted and many, many more things, you'll begin to notice a significant decrease in speed. If you fail to keep your registry clean, you WILL certainly notice your PC suddenly crashing, more and more, as your operating system becomes unstable. It's not a matter of whether or not this will happen to your PC. It's a matter of how much time, or use, it will take before it does. If you don't often install things, or you leave them installed, not moving any files around, and things like that, then you likely don't need your registry cleaned all that often. But if you're like any other average computer user, you download things at least on a bi-daily to weekly basis. Installing updates or new games or removing programs/games for extra space on your drive, copying/pasting files to different places on your drive.. all that jazz. Those people definitely should clean out their registry once in a while. Neglecting an over-cluttered, un-defragged registry will certainly make your OS slow to a crawl, and eventually, stop working or break. Regardless of how good your computer is.

Actually, I just went and picked up my 3DS at a midnight release last night. I bought Samurai Warriors with it as well. The system was $250 and the game was $39.99. $42.73 with tax. So the games will be the same price. Obviously there will be better games coming out for it the longer it's out. So the pricing will most likely go up or down depending on the game you want to buy. Personally, I'm waiting for the Resident Evil games and one of the only remakes I'm looking forward to, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. This system is amazing. The camera quality isn't as great as you would expect, but it's fully capable of taking crisp, 3D pictures. REAL 3D. Way better than that crap you see with the glasses, or other 3D devices. Some pictures I've taken have almost made me feel like I'm looking through a small window, or at an extremely detailed pop-up book. The 3D gives an incredible layering effect that actually appears to sink DOWN into the screen. Nothing is actually popping out off of the screen at you, as one might expect with it being 3D and all. Things don't pop out, they sink in. Picture a person standing on screen with a random plain, non-eye catching background. The person would stay right where he is, but as you increase the 3D depth, the background image will sink further and further inward. Depending on your eyes, you may have difficulty seeing 3D. Apparently, Nintendo says, some people may not be able to see the 3D effect at all. I've only played Samurai Warriors, and things are pretty hectic in that game, so having the 3D all the way up often complicates things, and the higher the 3D setting, the harder it is to see the 3D effect correctly. The 3D effect doesn't seem to be perfected yet, but Nintendo can change that with downloadable firmware updates in the future. Basically, there's a "sweet spot" that you have to find to suit your eyes. That spot will display the greatest effect of 3D that your eyes can see. Too much higher than that, and the 3D effect will start diminishing, or make the game hard to see, SORT of like you're looking at the game cross-eyed. This slight issue is entirely dependent on what images you are trying to see in 3D. At the main 3DS menu, I can view the Mii's and all of the animated software display icons on the top screen, in full 3D, without any problems. However, when playing Samurai Warriors, unless I'm playing in my "sweet spot", I find myself adjusting the 3D slider while movies are playing, or things like that. Even when in my sweet spot, sometimes the images/video being displayed call for a little more, or a little less, 3D effect. Playing in full 3D doesn't necessarily mean it's any more "full 3D" than a slider that's raised half way or just a little. Sure, it gives more depth, but it's also a little strenuous on the eyes when playing games and what not. I often play on the lowest 3D setting. The images quite clearly pop "out" at you, while the background and everything still sinks inward, giving a very nice 3D effect, even on the lowest 3D setting. My eyes rarely feel strained or anything like that when playing on the lowest setting. But when the 3D slider is all the way up, sometimes I can definitely feel a lot of strain on them, depending on what's being displayed, and whether or not the 3D is being displayed properly to my eyes, I might have to look away for a few seconds. The strain comes from the 3D giving a cross-eyed effect on screen, because the game uses 2 images designed for each of your eyes to display the "3D". You have to look at it just right to see the full effect of the 3D, and sometimes it's just off because the image is too crowded or polluted with too many objects/movements. Overall, I am very impressed with this system. Nintendo has done something that nobody else has managed to do, yet. Obviously there needs to be some care taken in it's use, but only a complete idiot would stare at a screen that's making their eyes ask "WTF IS GOING ON?!" Seriously... cross your eyes and tell me if it feels okay to keep them that way. I talk about strain and pain on the eyes, but it's not really a strain or a pain so much, to me at least. It's more of...... an annoyance, I guess you would say. You can see the screen clearly, but at the same time it's.... blurry... it's hard to explain. Basically, both of your eyes are getting separate images that ALMOST match up perfectly to one another, but something is slightly off between the two.

So, instead of just blocking or shutting down those websites that we can stream from, they're leaving us with the choice to commit the, at the time, seemingly harmless act (felony) of watching a video online... then getting charged/fined for a felony and possibly sent to prison. If that isn't the freedom to choose, I just don't know what is. I smell a trap.

It's fine! They should just do like the U.S. government and print more money! That totally fixes the problem!

Grats buddy! What did you name her??

She looks too much like her dad. That song stealing bastard.

Nah, man. I am all better now! Thanks for the concern though. I'm glad I don't have that, it sounds horrible. >.< Yeah, sorry about that. I would've been back on ET for a couple days now... but I got Minecraft the day I started feeling better and haven't had spare time for.... anything.. heh...

Here is a site any Minecrafter should know of and use frequently! http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Crafting http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Smelting I told people that I would return to playing ET the other day, but when I started feeling better, I got Minecraft and just haven't been able to stop playing it!

There are a bunch of things you can do, mostly building things. But you can kill monsters and stuff like that too. Make tools for surviving and things of that sort. Tutorial 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK3rGb2a4jk Tutorial 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhBKzwQODt0&NR=1&feature=fvwp Those were made last year, it's had a fair amount of updates since then. The guy is a little ditsy as well. You can just skim through it if you like. He talks a lot and rambles on.

I TOLD you he was holding out on us!

Check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epYmWk9Q3g4&annotation_id=annotation_848610&feature=iv

Same here. I think Dare has been holding out on us. Unless he means the IP.Board Mobile skin, which is like a clean cut skin of IP.Board? Because of this topic, though, I've decided to try out Carbon Blue. I think I'm in love... I believe the answer to this topic would be "No".

I don't usually go for just single scripts. I like to explode my simple 'spur of the moment' script changes into an entirely different config. Which I can exec by clicking Mouse5 on the side of my mouse. My current setup also doubles as my sniping config! Also, unless something has changed in the last 4-5 months, I have an 180 script I used to use. I never found a practical use for it. It was only good for spinning really fast with a flamethrower. It also wasn't very accurate. Sometimes it would spin more than 180, sometimes it would only spin 90 degrees. It was very random. It didn't just instantly look straight to my rear. But like I said, more or less useless because of it's unpredictability.

Hey, thanks man, I'll have to remember that! Silly yoyo. Those 6 hours are plenty enough! Anyways, as if by some kind of miracle, I feel almost perfectly fine now. I'm going to spend the day recuperating and catching up on lost sleep, so I'll probably be back tomorrow. Thanks for the Get Well wishes everyone.

Some of you may have been wondering why I haven't been playing, or why you haven't really heard from me much, other than on the forums. So like, for the last week or so, I've been extremely sick, getting very little sleep, having huge chest pains/cramps, constantly feeling like I have to vomit and doing so. Yesterday it finally cleared up, and I felt fine, mostly. Apparently it has been renewed, though, because I woke up at 1am last night and haven't been able to sleep since, and have had this sickly feeling in the center of my abdomen for well over 15 hours. I feel absolutely miserable, and probably won't make much of an effort playing or checking the forums until this clears up. Happy Gaming, everyone. See ya on the other side of this mess! x__x

No offense meant to anyone. Shitty brand of music. Nice video though. This should be in the Music category.
