I was surprised that my 6 year old 3.0 dual core really isn't too shabby compared to what other people are using. Same goes for using a radeon 7750 graphics card.

Another point here... Anyone irritated Harry went for Murphy instead of Molly?

I wonder how much they had to change the script to get USN participation in the show.

Apologies for the long bump, but I didn't want to create a new thread given that I never got around to sending the message. Life happened. I have sent the parts to the posters who put their names out, but given the way BB work, I'm not sure they are even active any more. Any other members here with ...

Wow! It's great to see the update. I recently reread the whole fic after taking a break for a couple years. First fic I've ever bothered to reread. Very enjoyable on the second read. Glad to see you're still plugging away at the story. Please keep it up, this is the most original & good fanfic o...

What the government is saying here is that if your fortnightly paycheque is between $9,500 and $9,999, they should just assume that you are covertly being paid by the Mafia and they should therefore take all your money. Agreed. It's pretty scary. "If you follow the rules just a bit too close t...

I think this is a good subject. A friend of mine was totally sheltered as a child from TV shows and movies. She was allowed to watch rated G movies only & they didn't have cable TV. So at 18 had zero cultural context for a huge number of things. But, she was allowed to read whatever she wanted. ...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try and get stuff PMed to folks in the next couple days.

Australian Navy?
Umm, not it.

Ok, thanks, I missed that. Can my post here please be moved?

@Jub Just a thought from my own perspective of a religion (Baha'i Faith): I was born into the religion and after some doubts as a teen chose to join my faith formally. (It was a choice.) That said, the people who don't grow up in the religion often have large emotional wounds that they are already d...

I'm not sure if I ever introduced myself on here or not - I don't think I did. I posted in 2010 a bit, one or two in early 2012 and now I'm back in late 2013. Forgot how much I liked reading threads here. Also I blocked it from work because I liked it too much. Yeah. ;) I work as a Statistician, and...

I thought Steven Segall was cool when I was 8.

I have a few scenes from a novel that I need critiqued (stuff is certainly wrong on technical/procedural/operational details) by someone who actually is or has served in a national Navy, ideally in a naval vessel. The military people I know are Army (Logistics & Medic NCOs). I doubt it's appropr...

Well this Cataclysm change looks interesting. Thanks for posting!

Minischoles, Darmalus and Ghost Rider thankyou very much for your information. I think I'll just wait it out and see how things are after Cataclysm. Quite frankly, I play the game to be a warrior, not much else. I've actually read psychology papers about this, I think I identify too much with the cl...

So the game is more friendly towards casuals getting high end gear then? That was my one particular beef, was lack of options for casuals. It sounds like a lot of that has been fixed. Like Civil War said, it is friendlier by far. My bit is that if you are using a warrior? Don't. That was my bit abo...

Wow, that does sound like quite a bit of a change, I recall pre WotLK, the best PvPers had a little bit of PvE gear, but not like what you're describing. My issues with raids was the time sink required to complete them and the rigorous schedule required to do them. Battleground and Arena PvP was gre...

Sorry, I've been away a long time, what is BiS? I should elaborate some more: I never got into a serious PvE guild. Or a PvP guild for that matter. I'd like to join a serious PvP guild, but that would require changing servers and I don't know which one has the most/best/serious PvP guilds.

Hey Guys, I played WoW from Jan 2007 to October 2008, and quit right before WotLK. I quit partially do to Real Life and partially because it looked like Warriors were getting Shafted. (It looks like some of that has been fixed) However, the urge to play has hit me again. I thoroughly enjoyed the gam...

I've been following this on several forums on the internet. I have the following "facts" that seem to be verified by people "in the know" so, while not 100% accurate for sure , together they tell a compelling story. Please correct me where necessary if you know more accurate info...

The majority of science students in many universities are biology majors. As I understand, biology majors, MSc's and PhD's have been overproduced in many many subfields for years. I believe Microbiology is the biggest offender. My dad is a Forest Pathologist and can't get hired for the life of him, ...

Cool. Thanks for the advice so far guys. I'll see what I can do for selling them, they're not doing anything for me at all anymore and if I can get say.. $100 for the whole lot (including the foils+ rares) I'll probably be pretty happy.

Hey Guys, I'm looking at ebaying my aging Magic Card collection. I live a mile away from the Canadian/American border (on the canadian side). I'm not sure on how to approach selling my cards and am seeking some advice. I'd like to maximize what I get for the cards, but really dislike the hassle of d...

You know, I'm wondering if the Author is taking this story to its logical/realistic conclusion: Voyager+Crew should have been pwned in the first couple episodes.
