What are you talking about? There are others who believe evolution is false, and they do not subscribe to the flat earth theory?

I'm playing Ace Combat 4, shattered skies for the PS2. A fun, aerial combat game.

If your upgrading and going to use a used one, I'd say perhaps, $100-$250, for a general or upgrade replacement, though you could find a good one cheeper. Unless you want to perform an extreme overhaul on the computer, and don't care about expense, I'd steer clear of the used ones that are over $300. -
Well? I'm waiting. Here's one idea Take 10% of the national tax, and set it aside to give to those who need expensive medical treatment that is either not covered by their insurance, or who do not have health insurance. send a man or woman, (who is not tied to politics, and who is trustworthy and honest,) for every 500 to 10000 square miles (Depending on population,) and place him or her in charge of justly distributing this money to the needy. Let him or her hire good helpers, as trustworthy as him or her, and have these insure the money is given only to those who need it and that the money is used as such. Like-wise, take 10% of the taxes in each state, and give it to those who can not afford assurance, and wish to do so. Place a honest and trustworthy man or woman in charge of this money, one for every 3-10 counties, again, to be determined by population, and likewise, let him or her hire honest and trust-worthy men and women to over see that the money is given to those who honestly need it and for the right purposes. Let this money be used for things, such as prescriptions, vaccines, and emergency treatments, as well as dental care. Place strong consequences on any who purposely misuse this money, such as to get prescription drugs to sell on the market. For everyone else who can afford it, let them buy their assurance freely, and force them not. Place necessary requirements on companies to prevent them from denying anyone due to per-conditions, and to insure they keep a fair price for their services. Let them compete on the market, but make certain they do not scam their customers. Of course, this is a plan if you want the government to help out, while not interfering with your rights. Using this method might work, but implementing it in a nation with trillions in debt, corrupt politicians, and various other problems would be the challenge, especially if avoiding tax increases, however, it can be done.

I'm not necessarily a fan of everything in starwars, but I used to play that mod on my back-up laptop all the time. (I'd play it on my gaming laptop, but mount and blade seems to b e having a problem with mods in general.) I think it's a great idea! Go for it!

Which of the Three current consoles do you perfer.
Acebopata replied to Acebopata's topic in Other Systems
Forza and Forza three where not too bad, but Gran Trusimo has always had more cars, (I don't know how many Forza 4 has, though.) About the only advantage Forza 3 had over GT5 is that you could customize your cars with manufacture decal and such. And the online auction thing, if you had live. -

I think the video card connects the motherboard to the monitor, if I remember correctly. -

I'm thinking it might be the power supply unit. It might not be able to supply the right power to the computer to reach full computing capacity, perhaps. It is possible for a device to work in part, but not have the recommended power system. I have a small citiuris 5" TV that could charge with a psp cable, but could not run with one because it required 10 volts where as the PSP charger only had about 5.5 volts. If your computer's power isn't what it needs, a similar thing could happen with it's graphics capability. If that is the case, I'd think you'd only need perhaps about 5-15% more power. Of course, I'm no expert on this, so it's best to have someone else check into this, but it's a suggestion. -

GHz, Ram, and hard drive looks fine, I'd guess it's either in the mother broad, power supply, or video card. Tell me, is the processor in your brother's computer a replacement, or the one that came with the computer? -
Meh... too many pages, too many questionable portions, too many inflammatory laws, too expensive... The real problem is that I think my one year old cat could do better. I could do better. Any of us on this forums could do better. Heck, even Hai:)/Lovvie from the WCF could do better.

Thanks! I started with Sim City 2000 or the PlayStation one, then played Sim city 3000 (CD broke, sadly), and after that, Sim City 4. Sim cities societies isn't too bad, but sim city four is better. The sims is pretty fun, but not everyone likes them. currently, I'm having a hard time deciding weather Sims 3 is better on the PS3 or PC. On the PC, I can utilize add-ons form mod the sims and or the sims store, but on the PS3, I don't have to worry about system requirements or a laptop overheating.

I like saying feel old, Mount and blade mods that have patrols (A significant amount I've tried for war band lack those for some reason,) Random comparisons between cats and cat-fish, People who make funny rants without cussing and being nasty, games without any heavy adult and spiritual themes, Church,common sense, Funny spoofs without cussing and being nasty, plotting to write a book about civilized cats that does not constitute a warriors fan-fiction piece and can their for be published, being nice, using automatic spell-check, Ranting about nothing in particular, riding a lawn rider (Blade-less lawn mower) for an hour straight just thinking about new book ideas and listening to music, And praying for rain. (Yes, we do need rain where I live.)

I paid about $26 for them with shipping. If you take the $15 for shipping out, about $11.

Anyways, here are the games: Moon Tycoon The Sims Sim City 3000 Sims Theme park The Sims online Sim city Streets of Sim City Sim Copter Sim Tower Sim Isle Sim Safari

My ultimate gamming laptop project thread
Acebopata replied to Acebopata's topic in Hardware and software discussion
Hmmm.... Building a custom desktop would be easy...but converting it into a kind of laptop...a bit of a different story. For starters, getting the screen would probably be only a moderate difficulty, provided enough study and materials exist. But the battery? That's a tad bit different, if I utilize a desktop motherboard. Alternatively, a laptop motherboard would be more, easier, to utilize a battery with, but it still has difficulties. Additionally, a rig would have to made for the keyboard and mouse, or alternatively, as pwnedbyscope said, a wireless keyboard/mouse, perhaps with a kind of holder rig when setting in a car?. And then, there's other difficulties, such as custom features. One could add a kind of memory card slot to save things like pictures, documents, and such, and a second one for data transfer, but one could add a smaller hard drive at the same time. Then, a DVD rom, would be critical, however, adding a Blue-Ray disk player might be a good option, providing the computer can utilize one and has enough room. At least one USB cord would be necessary. And Wi-Fi would be good too. One might add a floppy drive just for kicks if more room to add hardware persist. -
My ultimate gamming laptop project thread
Acebopata replied to Acebopata's topic in Hardware and software discussion
Part of the reason I prefer a laptop to a desktop is because I like playing my laptop on the couch, and I like the ability to easily change my location without having to take 20 minuets or so hooking up a monitor and keyboard. I'm more comfortable with laptops, also. -
Ok, so I've been wanting to build my own custom laptop, with the best custom hardware I can find. But I have little to no knowledge about how to create such a laptop, but I'm going to give it a try. Basically, I'm going to give it as much graphics and computing power as I can, at the same time, keeping it as cool as I can. Now I have two paths to go on. 1. Get a lightweight mini-desktop case and rig a screen to it. This makes the computer a lot heaver, and bulkier, but will allow me to place more computing power and perhaps an extra battery or two, which is useful when the power is out. 2. Use a regular laptop case, either purchased as a case, or taking from a used laptop. (Not using any that I have currently, BTW). I'm hoping to get anywhere between 6 and 16 GB Ram, 2.9-5.4 GHz, and 500GB-3TB storage capacity. (And yes, I know getting the higher ends is currently out of reach, but I'm taking my time on this project, so the technology may or may not be available at that time.) I'm hoping to have everything planned out in about a year, and to have the new computer build in two years. I'm thinking that I'll have anywhere from $1,000-$2,300 as a budget if the economics hold well.

Currently, I have four games that work for it, Age of Empires II, Gunship, Missie command (It's a remake version), and Casino Collection.

Plotting a defection and looking for some PS3 gaming advice.
Acebopata replied to Vindekarr's topic in Other Systems
My best advice is to take good care of it. The system is durable, but the longer you can keep it going, the better. Don't run the system for more than 20 hours at a time, use a low-powered vacuum once every year in the vents to clean them of dust(That's in the PS3 official online manual, BTW,) and keep the vents roughly 4" from any walls. Even if you don't do this, though, the PS3 is miles ahead of the 360 in terms of durability. -
That's one thing I like about Toshiba, there durable. This is my second Toshiba, I bought my first to hold me over till I could get my gaming Laptop (The one I have the specs for in my profile,) going. I still use that first Toshiba, even though the Acer is more powerful.

Ok, so I went to a flee market and purchased a used laptop for $5. And it works really well to. Here's the spec Toshiba Brand Windows 98 OS 64 MB Ram Intel 266 MHz Pentium Processor 3.81 GB Hard Drive 20X CD Rom Diskette 12.1 Color bright dual scan or TFT Active Matrix color display 56Kbps PC card modem. Of corse, this isn't my first laptop, but I've always wanted a windows 98 laptop, and for $5, it was a very good price.

I have a third party controller for my PS3. The main problem I had with the PS3 original controller is keeping up with that USB cord. -

I'm getting my PlayStation 3 replaced next month, though. But it's defiantly much more durable than the Xbox 360. -

Ace combat assault horizon. It's a combat flight simulator, but it has a lot going for it. You also get to fly a helicopter, AC-130, and bomber on some of the missions. Not to forget that you can give your plains a custom paint job once you finish the game once. And like Thor said, GT5. Battlefield, bad company is an interesting first person shooter, so to speak. and inexpensive. Both the original and the sequel cost at or below $20. -
haha a little weird. may i ask why you dont like Mature games (Mature as in the rating) even when you are of age? Mostly because I'm not too found of adult topics in entertainment, such as massive cussing, nudity, un-called for violence (War is fine if it's at least somewhat realistic) and what-not. Also, my beliefs call me to steer clear of vulgar-ness, but that's something I've been doing long before then and would have continued to do so anyways, so it's really not that much of a factor in the issue, except perhaps in adding a bit to the List of what's vulgar and what's not.
