What exactly is a "forcible rape"? I would've thought that was implied, unless they mean violent?

What exactly is a "forcible rape"? I would've thought that was implied, unless they mean violent?

Like statutory rape isn't always really a 'rape'- sometimes its an 18 year old that sexed a 15 year old and got busted by the cops and charged regardless of if consensual.

Forcible rape is the kind of rape most people think of when they hear the word.

 

[Bad^Hat]

You mean because it's the definition?

 

[Dynasty]

Its never rape, it's surprise sex.

 

[Bad^Hat]

That joke knows all about rape, it's been used so much.

My new case (Coolermaster Cosmos S)

Got it for £55 including postage on ebay, used, missing front panels - but it retails for £140-160, so I just used foam

It stands 60cm tall, so only just fits under my desk. Hoping to get some water cooling gear for overclocking my ageing hardware.

[Pi Mu Rho]

Pretty self-explanatory!

 

[Bad^Hat]

This "Collin" fellow doesn't sound particularly oriental.

 

[morgs]

Well he's sold over two million copies...

 

[Druckles]

I'm more worried about the Open University. There are far too many dangerous people around these days.

 

[Raziaar]

Pretty self-explanatory!

Trying to horn in on my girl, are you Pi?

Trying to horn in on my girl, are you Pi?

Yes, that's my sole reason for learning Mandarin.

Actually, I want to learn Cantonese, but there's less resources available, so I'm going with Mandarin for now.

I bought a second copy of Watchmen, but I won't see it for another few weeks so there are no photos. Just imagine what it looks like. Then imagine reading it.

Love this thing. Worth the 350$. Great upgrade from my dual 9800 GTX+s, you can practically run any game on high settings with 16x AA/AF and still get a constant 60 FPS. EVGA also has a handy tool to adjust clock speeds and fan speeds on the fly that comes with it.

But can it run Crysis?

 

[arch5]

But can it run Crysis?

[strike]Yep. Tried that, it got a constant ~40FPS with everything on High (and textures on Ultra High) @ 1920x1200. Crysis is now a pretty old game, to be honest. Any GPU that is GeForce 9 Series+ can run it at Medium.[/strike]
Turning off my 2nd monitor while I play it, it managed to maintain 50 FPS with everything on Ultra High, but temperatures jumped to 62C very fast.
EDIT: And, it can get a constant 60 FPS on Starcraft 2 with everything on Ultra.

Enjoy your huge resource drop with zero benefit.

 

[arch5]

Well, I guess it's not that noticeable past 4/8x AA. But honestly, the AF (anisotropic filtering) and the FPS increase makes it worth the money.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Check those corners...

 

[morgs]

Oh my God... I'd be too scared to turn it on in case I started hearing beeping

 

[Danimal]

You would've had to have beaten a lot of nerds to get that.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Many, many nerds were beaten.

 

[Barnz]

that's awesome.

 

[YROC]

What's that lego model on the left side of the case?

 

[Shakermaker]

Looks like a TIE Interceptor.

 

[YROC]

That's what I kinda thought, but it was turned on it's side.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

it's TIE Defender, slightly tipped over.

 

[Unfocused]

Impulse buy. I think the movie is great and considering the price a special edition like this was just too good to pass.

 

[MJ12]

 

[YROC]

Man, that's awesome.

What line of figures is that from? Looks way bigger than your normal collectibe figures.

 

[MJ12]

Wurd, best Star Wars figure purchase I have made. It's a Sideshow collectable (12 inch figures). They are basically the slightly lesser quality, but cheaper forms of Medicom Figures.

Usually sideshow collectables are like 60-150 bucks, but no one likes Princess Leia as a creepy bounty hunter so this was on sale. (People usually want Hair buns Leia or Slave Leia)
Medicom figures on the other hand are like 300 bucks..

One of my favorite moments in star wars.

may I ask how much you paid for that?
I was gonna order some Star Wars Legacy action figures today...you know the ones for like $15 but that looks like mighty awesome.


oh and on topic...I bight the digital version of SC2 the other day and its pretty fun sofar.

 

[MJ12]

It was 35 bucks, 40 with shipping. Well worth it for the quality compared to the regular hasbro figures.

Each figure varies in price though on how rare they are. I hope Sideshow makes a Boba Fett at least somewhat as good as Medicom's. But that is unlikely. God I wish I had this figure-

Sideshow also did Jabba's throne room. It would make an awesome piece on a fireplace mantle-

**** that, you can keep your tacky, gold-trimmed, barely-clothed piece of flesh and your croissant-headed ghost-like apparition. I'd take hot, killing-machine, disguising-as-a-bounty-hunter, I'm-going-to-take-my-mask-off-and-do-the-hair-thing-now Leia any day.

Now power supply for my PC. SeasonicUSA X650

* >90% efficiency in typical use
* Silent in typical use
* Electrical performance is tops
* Semi-passive cooling really works; fan runs only when needed.
* Clever, innovative engineering
* Great quality components & build
* All modular cables

It takes the crown in every significant category we can think of — except sheer output capacity.

It's hard to imagine how this power supply could be bettered in any significant way.

650w 54 amps single rail. (abusive tests up to 800w and still >80% efficient at up to 54C!)

+$20 off w/ promo code EMCYVNV28, ends 8/2 ($119.99) (+free shipping) List price in October 2009 was $179.99

$119.99 to my doorstep. Get one!

Holy shit this thing has some serious balls. All the lights in the case used to get really dim on power up. Not at all anymore. My old 500w PSU was just getting dogged - just turning on, even - plus it had 2 small fans that made a lot of racket and heat. I haven't tried gaming on it yet, but some are reporting that the fan doesn't even come on during gaming - even then it's like the quietest fan in the world.

Aslo, my old PSU was only 70% efficient. This thing should last forever. Very happy with it.


Also, I bought groceries.

Not really much to talk about except that I believe in God after tasting these eggrolls.

Indeed. Boushh Leia is for real men.

 

[morgs]

Oh yes, when she takes the helmet off. That's m favorite Leia moment.

 

[YROC]

I looked at some other sideshow SW collectibles and they're just as expensive as medicoms.
