The bedroom and kitchen clocks count hours played, not the actual time...

Do you know what happens when the clock reaches 99:99? I do, but I won't tell!

They are pretty awesome.

The only dog I'd ever want to own is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I don't give a forget if I'm 45 years old with a career in manliness and kicking ass, I'd proudly strut the streets walking my Corgi.

Remember to change motherboard ;)

As much as I hate to start a stufffest, is there really any difference in AMD versus Intel?

You know, I used to be a big proponent of torrenting, but now that I'm not 12 and have a job and can buy my video games (and hats) and pay for Pandora One, I just can't say it's that big a deal.

Obviously, the loose wording that allows people to be arrested for singing covers of songs to become felons is ridiculous, and despite being a liberal communist national socialist scumbag I do support weaker (not smaller, just less invasive in terms of personal space) government.

The bill should be trashed, as should any bills like it that give big businesses power to destroy random little people because they want to set an example, but I don't think I can honestly say I support pirating anymore. Having a game on Steam is 100% more satisfying, just because no matter where you go or what you do you still own that game. It's up there in the clouds. You can redownload it at any time without going through a crack process, there's support and discussion forums in the steam community, and knowing that you actually paid money for something you enjoyed (or not, but I don't buy games on a whim anyways) is largely fulfilling.

I like to support developers, and when they do something stupid (Origin, $80/$70 price tag), I let them know they can go forget themselves by not buying their game. My opinion actually matters when I have money.

Not a legitimate ban.
Nothing wrong with his posts.
Should of given him a chance.
A few outragous stuff posts then perma-ban.

Getting a perma after buying a new key specifically to post for making an "I'm new" thread is a bit outrageous. I mean, he's 12. He wants a little attention. That's OK.

Personally, I wouldn't have banned him.

Posted this in another thread, but I really want some input on this build.



Already own 8 gigs in ram (2x 2gig DDR3, 2x 2gig DDR2), not sure if the DDR2 will even work in that motherboard but whatever. If not I'll buy some bigger sticks but I'm not going to go above 8 gigs unless I have a reason to.

Supplied PSU: 600watts. Also don't know if that will support that rig.

I also need to buy a new case. If you have a suggestion (needs to be under 21" tall), lemme hear it.

Why the name Ichverbot? Just out of interest.

Ich = "I"
Verbot = "Banish"

Apparently "Bahnt" is the correct translation for "Ban" in technological terms, but whatever. Verbot sounds cooler.

What do you people have against autism? Jeez. Whenever I see someone acting stupid, you people respond a lot with "you're so autistic" or something else to make autism look bad.

it's cause literally nobody on the bl forums knows what autism is

Symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome comparative to my knowledge of Lord Tony

Not pick up on social cues and may lack inborn social skills.	✓
Dislike any changes in routines.	✓✓✓
Appear to lack empathy.	✓
Be unable to recognize subtle differences in speech tone, pitch, and accent that alter the meaning of others’ speech. So your child may not understand a joke or may take a sarcastic comment literally. And his or her speech may be flat and hard to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent.	?
Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. For example, the child may use the word "beckon" instead of "call" or the word "return" instead of "come back."	?
Avoid eye contact or stare at others.	?
Have unusual facial expressions or postures.	?
Be preoccupied with only one or few interests, which he or she may be very knowledgeable about.	✓
Talk a lot, usually about a favorite subject. One-sided conversations are common. Internal thoughts are often verbalized.	✓✓✓
Have delayed motor development. Your child may be late in learning to use a fork or spoon, ride a bike, or catch a ball. He or she may have an awkward walk. Handwriting is often poor.	?
Have heightened sensitivity and become overstimulated by loud noises, lights, or strong tastes or textures. For more information about these symptoms, see sensory integration dysfunction.	?

Admittedly, I don't know about Lord Tony to affirm "this person has autism," but I do know enough about him, his life style, and his interactions with people to say "there's something wrong with this person".

21 years old, no formal education, no career, no known circle of friends, virgin, spent the last 10 months harassing a 16 year old girl and constantly derailing threads she posts in about how she derails threads that she posts in.

Most people get bored of that stuff in this time. Most people do not have the ability to constantly forget with the same person for 10 months, who long ago lost interest in them. Stocking gets pissed off if I even bring him up in conversation because she's so disgusted by everything he is, from his looks, to his personality, to just how talking to him makes you feel less intelligent.


It could not be autism. It could be that this dude is just legitimately stupid with a rotten personality, but I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt and praying that there is something that can be diagnosed and given a name that is actually wrong with him.


nb4/Any combination of "WHITEKNIGHT", and "NICE ATTENTION SHIFTING BLAME GAME", and "DERAIL! DERAIL!"
