Yes! The CPU is better, go for that one.. BUT. The one you listed is an OEM version. I believe this doesn't include a fan. Unless you want to buy / use a compatible 3rd party cpu fan / heatsink, I'd look for the retail / boxed version instead (should be slightly more expensive, but you get the fan).

I stopped laughing after the 20th, because I was physically unable to laugh any more.

The difference is.. It depends on what kind of applications you're using. The dual core has faster cores, but only 2 of them. The quad core has slower cores, but 4 of them. The latter will prove better with applications which are designed with multithreading in mind, the former will prove faster with older applications, only using one or 2 cores. (didn't know there was a distinction between 2-core and 4-core I5's) Anyway, I'm currently not aware of the state of applications today, if they're making use of extra cores or not.. If you intend to use professional applications, I reckon you'd be better off with 4 cores, if not (and you intend to play games and watch movies or do some surfing), you may be better off with the dual core. This still seemed to be the case when I bought my computer, and looking at the price difference, this still seems to be the case.

Hmmz. Some stuff sounds familiar, although not quite what I remember playing. So.. Dutch games at primarily elementary school: Bulldog (I'm using your name, we called it "overlopie", or "walk-a-crossy" sort of translated) Basically as previously described. It starts with 1 guy who's "it", and all the others on one side of the line. Then you try to get across. If you make it, great, if not, you work together and become "it" with the rest who are "it". We varied the rules with.. Variations. Occasionally you were allowed to get back to the line you started from, but this wasn't often. More often you were allowed to take "one step across the line", not fully making a commitment to running. I think I also remember a variation where the people who were "it" had to form a line by holding hands. We never used rugby tackles though. And I can't recall any injuries from this particular game. Banning this game? Other details: the way we decided who was the first to be "it", was simply the last one to make it across the line on the other side when recess started. Also, this was simply the game that was played, primarily by the last class (senior class you'd call them I guess, to us this is simply "group 8"). Nothing else was played by those people, and there was a big part of the schoolgrounds that was pretty much dedicated to this game. So what did group 1-7 do? I can't remember many specifics. Hang around, a lot of people had specific hangspots I guess. Sometimes play other games, but there really wasn't anything that stuck out. Bully other schoolkids :p. Perhaps one thing that does[/i[] come to mind is: I forgot what you call it, but we called it "anne maria-koekoek" (anne maria cuccoo) Simply the game where someone at a wall is "it", and you have to make it to the wall without being seen moving. "Anne maria koekoek" is what the person who's "it" would say. During physical exercise (what we call "gym"), if we do something that is more "gamey" (since I'm not listing the normal exercises we'd do): Dodgeball We call it trefbal, which basically literally translated means the same. I don't have to explain this. In fact, this is probably the most prominent one, all the other stuff we did was mostly all kinds of gymnastics and some sports, and for the latter, predominantly football. But there was one game, wildy popular, and not listed here (but then again, it isn't something you'd do on the playground. Apenkooi (literally translated monkey cage) We didn't do this as much as we would have liked back then. Basically some crazy variant on tag. Everything that was available, could be used to set up some kind of obstacle course covering the whole gym, so mats, ropes, rings, ladders, hoops and other typical gymnastic stuff.. One person was "it". Nobody (including the tagger) can touch the ground or they are out automatically. If you're tagged, I think you join the tagger. I can't remember the specifics unfortunately, but I loved this game. Outside of school, with friends and neighbour kids: Bussietrap (no idea how to translate this, except the last part, which is "kick") A variation on hide and seek. It sounds a little bit similar to that 40/40 which has been mentioned a few times, but not quite. One person is "it". One of the others kicks a ball, as far as he can (ended up on the road a few times). The guy who's "it" has to get the ball, and with the ball, walk backwards, to the original location (near the tree in my case, on the grassfield in my old street). In the meantime, others go hide. the ball, when returned, is sort of the base in your 40/40 game. The person who's it, has to look for the others, and when he finds someone, it is a race to the ball. If he makes it (he has to yell "buurt <name>"), the one hiding is out. If the one hiding makes it first, he's free. The first person to be found and "buurted", is the next one to be "it" in the next round. Usually there were rules to keep it fair. No hiding at home for example (), and no going to far out of the street. If we were tired of playing that or simple football, we occasionally played Bordjeball (numberplateball) Ah crap, I can't remember the specifics of this one too. A variation on tag involving a tennisball. This one has some sort of obstacle course as well, but always along the wall of our building. They could be specific cars, entrancedoors, lampposts, or other things. These were the safehavens, people could not be tagged when touching these. The one who was the tagger, had to tag using the tennisball, whenever someone was trying to get across to one of the other safehavens. The thing is, he can't simply hold the ball, he had to constantly bounce it against the wall. What I can't remember is where the numberplate (the sign designating the housenumbers) fits in. I think the tagger not even simply had to bounce the ball against the wall, but the numberplates specifically, before he was allowed to attempt a tag. Anyway, those were my games from yonder.

Well, Eddie was a roleblocker, there's nothing that suggests there's something else they can do to stop your report (unless Dannyboy is evil, in which case he can protect your target), except for outright killing you. You just have to hope Dannyboy (assuming he's good) makes the right choice in that case. Jonnas isn't online, so I don't think we'll see the write-up soon, and exatly because you can't talk outside the thread, I suggest you and Rummy decide on a target together, in here, while you have the chance. I think you're better off that way, but again, that is assuming the mafia has nothing left to influence your report anyway, and Dannyboy makes a lucky choice.

Also, perhaps Dazz and Rummy both have to target the same person at the same time. I was actually thinking of these kind of roles, a good-cop / bad-cop routine. You probably should discuss here in the thread who you want to go for, if you want to end up with the same target. I'm not sure if there's anyone left who can stop you now (except Angus). May I suggest me by the way?

Well, no. That is speculation on your part. I don't know why there are little variations in Fierce_Link's notes, but I've always been town, and I didn't change from neutral to anything somewhere along the line.

Why. It wasn't me. You disregard the fact there was also someone protected that night, that must have stopped the kill. Perhaps Dannyboy can tell us if his traps leave any indication of being used on a particular night? If yes, he can shed some light on this. From anyone else I'd say they have a point, but you haven't been involved a lot yourself, especially not in the beginning. You've been only posting since people started asking you questions. I didn't feel like posting a lot anymore after day 1, but I generally posted at least to say how uneventful my night has been, and I have responded to any queries directed at me. You've been saying this a few times and this annoys me. I only state what my PM's tell me, if I ever get one. I mean, my abilities have been confirmed multiple times now. How hard is it to believe I have been roleblocked that night? Nobody has reported anything stolen, and if they did, it was Zell. Off-topic but please stop this. I dunno what to make of that. Perhaps because I'm a thief but haven't succesfully stolen anything. Are there any other details you can give? I honestly wouldn't know why you should get something from me. Ehm, that's weird reasoning actually. Although it's perhaps in my best interest to not point that out, oh well. ########## And I forgot to add: I think Dazz is bluffing, but I consider it good play actually, making himself useful that way. I think between him and Tales, I'd go for Tales (because of his defense of Eddie, and his ridiculous 2nd mafia theory). Although I'm even more inclined to go for Chair. I can understand why I'm slightly suspicious, but he's trying way to hard to get me lynched for mostly the wrong reasons. I should've gone after him last night, although it wouldn't have mattered. Because I was roleblocked again. But oyu probably won't believe it.

God.. Heard this song this morning on the radio. Polish never sounded so lovely before. Anne Maria Jopek - Szepty i łzy

There was no need for me to reveal that.. I could just as well have told you I was "protecting" you and ReZ. The plan was to steal something and reveal what it was here right in the thread before someone yells "I've got mugged!", hopefully contributing more than "sorry guys, no PM". But alas, it wasn't meant to be. May as well sit this one out 'till it's over. As for my targets, I wasn't exactly sure about you.. Nintendohnut didn't confirm having killed Esequiel, which is a strange thing to do. So I chose you just in case, eventhough I was pretty sure it was Dohnut. Then ReZ after his little escapade, but yeah. Oh and people, just ignore Dazz.

What it says. I got tired of getting no PM's, I was sure stealing would be more exciting, and I wondered what I'd get out of it. To this day I still don't know.

[1] steal Dannyboy-the-Dane / failed [2] protect Dannyboy-the-Dane / roleblocked [3] protect Fierce_Link / no PM [4] protect Fierce_Link / Fierce_Link was protected Protection wasn't appreciated, so random targets: [5] protect Diageo / no PM [6] protect The Peeps / no PM [7] protect ReZourceman / no PM PM's were no fun, so started stealing again: [8] steal Dannyboy-the-Dane / jailkept [9] steal ReZourceman / roleblocked I'll see if I can add to your list, but I doubt have anything you don't have.

Also, to mr-paul, welcome back, and nice work, I was in the process of doing that exact same thing, but I wasn't finished.. Couldn't go through the complete thread in one go. I can give you the rest of my targets, but they won't exactly help. As I haven't a single useful PM in 9 nights, I assume there's no trace of my visits to anyone. I can still post 'm if you want.

I have no idea. Nothing changed for me regarding gameplay. Perhaps I'm fed up with sending in actions to no avail. Which was why I wanted to resume stealing again, hoping to get something more exciting, but I've been stopped so far. Perhaps it's Jonnas having a little fun with it and incoporating that. Or he's just having fun with your suspicion and decision to target me twice, and incorporate that in your note.

If you'll need me, I'm at the "gentlemen of questionable usefulness" club together with Dazz and Rummy. I do think it's plausible Dyson had a hidden clause though.

It's an [animated gif]. In Gimp you simply make them by making multiple layers. When you save it as gif, it will save it as an animation.

I assume people who haven't voted will get a PM some time before the deadline. Either that, or the mod will default their vote to something.. Something other than no lynch, or it won't work. Perhaps they'll default to voting for themselves, or someone randomly.

In which case, I'd have prefered a limit on how many Pikmin you could plant. Would've catered to my micromanaging playstyle . I guess you have a point though, but that's something I obviously wasn't concerned with when I was playing it. I got a kick out of progressing with the same army of pikmin since the beginning. Then I realised, I wasn't going to complete the game that way. I guess I'll just have to get over that someday, and treat them as expandable . Progression would be much faster though .

Another tactic could be to have lynches based on majorities instead of absolute majorities. Lynch will go through unless there's an explicit majority for no lynch.

I like how this contradicts itself though .
