Title: Auron's Birthday comes early...
Post by: Rug on July 11, 2003, 07:37:09 PM
Woo. I'm insanely happy.

Why?

Because, while I'm not on it at the moment, I am currently drooling at my Birthday present...

Thats right folks, Auron's got a brand new Laptop. And it kicks ass.

Woo... lets have a look... 3gHz Pentium 4 processor... 512mg Memory... 64mg Radeon 9000 video card (not integrated... very nice) and the now fairly standard DVD writer, ethernet adaptors, FireWire ports etc...

Overall, I'm damned happy... Once the thing is set up, I'll get my NW Duelling arenas done, move all my FoN and NWDune stuff across and get cracking :)

Unfortunately, you still have two edges on my system:

1, Hard Drive. My Laptop has 40gb... amazing compared to what I've been used to, put 1/4 of what you vae.

2, Monitor. Its a pretty big one for a Laptop, but still nothing to write home about. Supports 1024x768 though (Woo!)

Just discovered - this thing actually has a 30gb and a 10gb hard drive... the 10gb one is about to become my music, art and FoN materials one, and the 30gb is for games and applications.

I doubt it.

Last years top-of-the-range PC's are this years middle-range PC's.

Two years ago's Top-of-the-range PC's are this years Entry-level PC's.

It has a roughly 2-3 year lifespan :)

Smart move.

Seeker, I'm not jealous of your immortality. In fact, you should be jealous of my mortality. Why? Because I'll die along with my friends, but you have to watch everyone you befriend wither and die, and you'll be stuck forever, eventually shunning humanity because of your fear of forming a friendship, just to watch them all die. I pity anyone with immortality.

Some butterflies only live for two weeks, but humans do not shun nor fear them.

But Seeker, I wasn't talking about short lives. I was talking about the one who lives forever eventually running off and hiding in a shack because he can't stand to see another companion die. Immortality is not everything its cracked up to be unless all your buddies are immortal too.

Well... I'll take a shot at this...

The Yiff pictures are saved onto digital media, which is unlikely to break down within the next 5 years.

Write them all to DVD just in case.

When a new form of information storage comes along, which replace or surpasses standard Hard Drive's and DVD, simply copy the files across to it.

When THAT is surpasses... repeat the process.

Should make a sort of immortality :)

Happy Birthday...you can now legally watch films which contain:

Quote
Theme
No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds.

Language
There may be frequent use of strong language; the strongest terms (eg ‘cunt’) are only rarely acceptable. Continued aggressive use of strong language and sexual abuse is unacceptable.

Nudity
There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

Sex
Sexual activity and nudity may be portrayed but without strong detail. The depiction of casual sex should be handled responsibly. There may be occasional strong verbal references to sexual behaviour.

Violence
Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain, and of injuries. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief.

Imitable techniques
Dangerous combat techniques such as ear claps, head-butts and blows to the neck are unlikely to be acceptable. There may be no emphasis on the use of easily accessible lethal weapons (in particular, knives).

Horror
Sustained or detailed infliction of pain or injury is unacceptable.

Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but clear instructive detail is unacceptable. The film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug use.
