| Mine stopped working correctly yesterday. It's a Samsung syncmaster T220 and has survived for something like 6 years now. I've been using it pretty much every day until yesterday, when the computer just wouldn't recognize the monitor anymore. I have gentoo linux x86 and win7 ultimate 64bit on dualbo... |

| I've never been able to get in touch with someone with the same tastes in video games as mine, so I've played very little online. I've done some Starcraft 2, Quake Live and Team Fortress 2, but there's too many a--holes out there that ruin the game for me. I've played some WoW too, but I don't like ... |

| Arcanum has some pretty stupid balance issues and limitations that can definitely ruin the game towards the end. It's really frustrating, because otherwise, the game is one of the very best crpg's out there. |

| If this is about how hard some games can be, I can distinctly remember NES games like the Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden series, that never failed to punish my every attempt at going through them. DooM games on nightmare difficulty are not even remotely fair, but then again, you get an explicit warning... |

| I disagree with the science vs. religion notion. Neither of them is fundamentally opposed to the other. A scientist may very well be religious, Einstein and Newton are often cited as examples. The problem is not that religion teaches that science of any kind is unnecessary or wrong or anything, but ... |

| I hate missing classes, but this year I'm kind of forced to, because of the way it's organized. We get all the course's material anyway, but we have over 30 teachers, and each of them do their own thing, so going to classes doesn't really benefit me, when I can work on the stuff we get, at my own rh... |

| So how does this work for you? How easy does it get to ignore women and/or the subject itself? Because if I can look at an attractive woman or happy couple and feel little to nothing about it, that would be swell. I'm aware that that's unlikely, but i'll take anything close... As of two years now, ... |

| My tips is that you give Project Euler a shot. On Project Euler there are hundreds of problems to solve, like finding the 1000th prime. Try solving some of them with your own code. If you ever get stuck, you an use Google ( that's what I do ) or ask here. Hey, thanks a lot! Does anyone know of any ... |

| I've always been an outsider as a kid, but I must've realized something's not in synch with other people when I was about 8-9 years old. Before that, I thought the differences between me and others were purely circumstantial, since my parents and me were moving around a lot. |
