    gx2 and e6600, not even 1mhz overclock

    The only thing I can suggest is that your power supply isn't good enough? With a hefty overclock and the GX2, I would imagine the power requirements are quite high. What other bits do you have in your computer?

    What Martial Arts do you do, and why?

    Meh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taekwondo Down a bit it mentions orange and purple belts. http://www.raynerslanetkd.com/COMP_RESULTS_MAIN.html References to purple belt as a category. Not that I have personally come across many. I like the white/yellow/green/blue/red/black...

    What Martial Arts do you do, and why?

    ITF has smaller organisations within it which give out colours other than the ones stated above. I have regularly heard of taekwondo brown, orange and purple belts in America (maybe to run parallel with people's familiarity with Judo belts?) I know that UKTA and TAGB follow the...

    Never realised it hurt SO much!

    And probably due for a change from the ball busting lifestyle :P

    What Martial Arts do you do, and why?

    I've never been sure whether you should write 'study martial arts', 'train in martial arts', 'compete in martial arts', 'participate in martial arts' Anyway, I was reading the Bruce Lee vs All threads and the self defence concealed weapons thread, and given some of the advice, I wondered what...

    If thats the case, I would get them checked out dude, I don't think they're working properly

    Never realised it hurt SO much!

    Oh goddamn I know how that feels. One time my groin card cracked due to the force, leaving really really nasty purple bruises around the nads. The last time I got properly kicked in the nads (as opposed to half/narrowly avoiding due to painful experience) was when I was young, I believe I...

    Recommend me cheap stuff!

    The DVD-Writer is not for me, so while I'm purchasing I'm using it as a bit of an excuse to buy something small and useful (so next week I don't accidentally buy a £400 graphics card or something) I will probably be buried with my IBM Model M Keyboard. Primarily because it doesn't have the...

    Recommend me cheap stuff!

    Right, I'm in the situation where I must buy a DVD-Writer, and paying delivery for just that seems like a huge waste of money. So I'm looking for something between £10-30 so I don't feel terrible about paying 8quid postage for a 19 quid DVD writer. My computer is in my sig, the...

    DVD Writer not shown in windows

    All the cables are installed correctly, detected in bios fine. It reads as its supposed to on bootup every time, but half the time doesn't show on windows. I have noticed that the DVD player vibrates more than I'm used to, so it might actually be on the blink. I'll have my credit card on...

    DVD Writer not shown in windows

    Aghh hows this for frustrating? A computer that I built seems to have the tendancy of not showing the DVD writer half the time. Sometimes I start the computer and its there, and sometimes its not. When it does work, it works perfectly for data, music and dvds. When it doesn't work, nothing I...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA for Conroe (Core2) with both AGP/PCI-E and DDR1/DDR2 support

    I think the overwhelming opinion is 'It'll do for now until next gen boards and DX10 comes out' I got my FSB at around 290-300 for a HUGE 200mhz increase. hahah Considering my RAM is rated at 400mhz cas4, I'm not doing either the E6300 or the Geil ram any favours. My next purchase is a...

    How can my girlfriend legally repel an attacker besides using a rape alarm?

    No offence intended :P As you assumed that I was a non-martial artist, I assumed you were an idiot. Lets just say we were both incorrect hmm? I agree that high heels make an inordinate amount of noise. If a girl has been out clubbing, then it is likely they are wearing clothes that are...

    I think thats about as useful as your advice.

    How can my girlfriend legally repel an attacker besides using a rape alarm?

    Spoken like a true idealist. Frankly the kind of awareness matters very little (except in actual combat) when a couple of thugs get off the bus in front of you as you're walking down the road and start waving a knife in your face. When you're in a club, talking to someone, and someone comes...

    Shoot them down with your far superior sense of fashion and style :P

    How can my girlfriend legally repel an attacker besides using a rape alarm?

    I'm not saying that if you connect, I'd still be standing. I know the nausea that feels like you're about to pass your entire digestive system. I've been kicked so hard that my groinguard snapped (thank christ I had one on) All I was suggesting was that connecting was nowhere near as easy as...

    Recruitment Agency - Payments

    You have the choice to do anything you want. Whether or not you do it or not involve your principles. Tweak_1984 has the option of staying at home. I'm sure if he didn't have this option, then he would have no option but to work some horrible, intelligence insulting job. If the job is demeaning...
