You can sell anything that's not illegal on ebay. I have been both a seller and buyer, with good results. I've never used Craigs list, but I've heard a lot of bad stuff. Its like the wild west version of ebay.

[quote who="starkers" reply="3" id="3491688"] Frankly, m' dear, I don't give a damn. Ya seen one naked celebrity ya seen 'em all.... what with all the Botox and plasic surgery to remove/hide their flaws/downright ugly bits. I read of one Hollywood star who had her 'pink parts' lifted so it looked "nicer and not so ragged". Hehe, I thought right then and there: "Well if you had looked after it from the start and hadn'

Well the latest victim of the feminist takeover of the gaming industry is Mojang, makers of Minecraft. With the latest update, they changed the default character from male to female, and claim that the new character is unisex. Anyone with an ounce of honesty can tell the new character is female, and not genderless. The right thing to do would be to allow the player to choose their character in the game setup opti

Yea, a long time ago, a hall of fame was suggested LH, but for some reason SD didn't want to do it. So, unless it's put it on the list for 2.0, it will probably never be implemented.

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="6" id="3490576"] Actually, its not ONLY the PC police. The worst offenders are often the folks who put commitment to their ideology (of what ever flavor) above treating everyone as a true neighbor. It happens when people treat other people as a means to an end, and not an end in them selves. Buber (spelling?) summed it up nicely: I > Thou relationships vs. I > it relationships. Don't let

[quote quoting="post"] Have you been getting a bit frustrated in recent weeks about having your well crafted or well-intentioned point mischaracterized as something vile and disgusting? Maybe they just misunderstood right? Nope. You have just run into someone who intentionally chooses to misrepresent your position in order to cheaply gain the moral high ground. [/quote] Yea, this happens all the time. The biggest offenders are the PC police, who go out of their way to find som

[quote who="abob101" reply="4" id="3489868"] Surely there's some pet annoyances or bugs that have been driving people nuts that you'd like to see fixed ? [/quote] Petty annoyances? well how about pathfinding, including friendly units not blocking your path, and auto explore units not walking up to monsters and saying "please kill me"... and monsters attacking the

Diplomacy in its current state is so anemic, that any meaningful improvements (not just added flavor text), would probably require significant coding changes. I just hope the DLC made to pay for the update is decent.

[quote who="WOM" reply="17" id="3488837"] Every year the education is the U.S. is getting worse. They want drones instead of smart citizens. They are not teaching like they did when I was in school. They don't even teach the kids how to cursive write. I asked the teacher why and she said most print or use computers. [/quote] Yea,I got the same answer from the teachers where I live.

[quote who="heft" reply="1" id="3487066"] Unfortunately, you have to research the specs on the cards. Case in point: I had an NVidia GT 120, which came out after the superior 9800. By looking at the specs it was obvious that the GT120 was merely a rebranded 9500. And the 9500 was inferior to the 8800. The only way to know was by looking at the specs. This also means doing research to know what each specification is and why it is important. [/q

With CPU's it's always been obvious. An i7 is stronger than an i5 which is stronger than an i3 which is stronger than a Pentium which is stronger than a 486 which is stronger than a 386 which is stronger than a 286, etc.... But graphics cards seem to have no such obvious indicator. I've been told that RAM doesn't matter much with a graphics card, so how do you tell which is stronger? The descriptions seem to be all over the map with no consistency, so I'm c
