  1. But it only has a ATI 4330 for the GPU. Hardly meant for more than watching videos. In contrast the ASUS I originally linked to is more than £100 cheaper and comparatively the same or better...well outside of HDD space, and the fact that it's Vista. Although ASUS offers a Win 7 upgrade at a reduced price (not sure how much) after purchase.
  2. My mothers truck can do 45 in 1st gear. :p that's terrible for the economy though
  3. Lies. 10char.
  4. No that's correct but...revs just doesn't sound as good so I'm nitpicking. In my experience the gearing of a Diesel means plenty of power at lower RPM, but in petrol car shifting usually occurs higher. It all depends on how you drive, I can accelerate to 55MPH without going over 2K but it's boringly slow, normal acceleration results in shifting around 3K. Of course in my dads Honda it shifts even higher than that but it also doesn't redline until 7K as opposed to my 5K. What does your car idle at in neutral? I'd say don't downshift unless you're nearing that point. 45MPH is like....really slow. You practically don't even need 5th gear at those speeds.
  5. That was epic
  6. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169125 Specs wise it's smack in the mid-range and great for the price. A friend of mine got an ASUS about a year back and his only complaints were bloatware(unavoidable) and that somehow his hands would manage to hit some magic combo on the touchpad to make firefox go back usually deleting his long ass posts. ASUS does also have a good reputation with motherboards and GPUs and I have an ASUS monitor that's quite nice.
  7. We've actually done the digital frame for my mothers sister and brother in Florida since we hardly see each other.
  8. My truck tends to shift between 2 and 3K, unless I floor it and then it shifts at red line(a whopping 5K :p)
  9. For my Grandma's 80th B-day we made a Photoalbum with pictures of everything she's missed (she's a 20 straight hours drive away). Perhaps something similar would go over well for you.
  10. Now you make it sound like Molly is something fierce that needs to be conquered.
  11. Assuming this statement is correct, and it seems to me that you've been unsuccessful in that goal...that would be the why. What did you do wrong, iunno.
  12. Well, I must suggest Oldboy as well. It's different though like OW said. Flink, you're like the worst matchmaker ever.
  13. RPMs not revs, and yeah 2 grand is pretty low outside of diesels and trucks or granny driving.
  14. >_> <_< >_> SFMV is actually the one of the 3 I haven't seen yet. I want to though. I love Oldboy and really liked SFLV.
  15. I'll just assume you must already have Oldboy.
  16. Isn't it a little presumptuous to tell other people what is life?
  17. You don't really rev to a speed, you rev RPMs which is a tachometer. With a tach you should be able to keep from stalling without knowing the speed.
  18. My sentence was finished, I just trailed off in a way that I looked like I had more to say but didn't.
  19. Fellatio? Oral sex? Not particularly embarrassing, but I used to ride my horse out onto the football field for highschool home games. At the last home game of the season I was running down the field and turned....my saddle started to slide sideways and off I went. In front of 2 football teams the marching bands and an entire stand full of on lookers. I only had one teacher mess with me about it. Inspired by Flink's story, I'll tell a short one I had nothing to do with. My friend was chatting up some girl before a test started, later on he's talking to his friend and the girl comes up and asks what they're talking about, the second guy immediately says Gay Sex....She didn't talk to either of them again.
  20. More like Bohemian Rapesody. No one should cover Queen...
  21. To make another point, draining the tank on a diesel is bad because you'd need to prime it again, and with petrol higher octanes are cleaner which mean less junk floating about trying to clog fuel injectors and whatnot. Nope, you pass the test and you can drive most anything. Additional tests are needed for things like Semi-Trucks and Motorcycles Buses ect, and laws do vary from state to state. For instance, in Michigan (and most places I think) there isn't an MOT equivalent, but in California there is.
  22. Yes. They're plenty fun, you can't drop the clutch but you can still shift manually with them. The simple (and sad) fact is that most Americans don't know how to drive a manual and some(probably most...) are too bloody stupid to even learn how.
  23. I have an automatic...no shifting for me, unless I'm feeling bored.
  24. I literally lol'd when it switched to him playing with Jeane.
  25. True story, my old neighbor was named Bob, and he was always building things.
