                        I just found out that I personally studie much easier when I'm a bit stoned, as it elliminates all the distractions around me, since I can only focus on one thing at a time when I'm stoned.
And that one thing can be a textbook if I want it to be.

                        I found the game s.t.a.l.k.e.r. in the shops today, bought it, and it's great.
It's missing some minor elements and my pc can't run it very smoothly on anything but low settings, but even then it's still nice.

                        Yeah well I still like to check.
A few years back they had free worldwide phone use via the net connection.
Well, I used the nationwide part, I cannot confirm the worldwide part but the point is, sometimes these scammy type things are real.
I made a s**tload of calls for free.

                        I hope to tell'ya.
Wasn't real hard to fix, assuming you have another pc but it sure through me for a loop when my machine failed to bootup.
If it does happen to anyone, just hook your hard drive as a slave and replace the two files onto C:
It will find them and boot for you, then you can replace the old ones back from the recycle bin.

                        For Nvidia you need two of the same model cards and a board with an SLI chipset and two PCI express 16x slots. For ATI you need a regular card and a 'Crossfire Edition' card of the same numbering, plus a crossfire chipset motherboard with two PCI express 16x slots.
I think a new revision of SLI is in the works that allows you to use any SLI compatible card. The example I saw was something like two 7900's for graphics and a 6800 or 7600 or something for physics.
Nifty stuff.
