I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it still does surprise me to see so many adults using so many abbreviations when typing. I also know that some people will say that grammar/spelling/typing doesn't really matter on a site like this. However, I also see it in professional settings as well. I don't mind the occasional abbreviation, but some people really tend to overdo it.

So, for those who type that way, why do you do it? If I get a message on here full of abbreviations, I don't even bother responding anymore.

What really fkn annoys me is when people substitute letters, like 'is' becomes 'iz'. It's retarded.


I agree. And what is your picture of??
It's one of my pet mice, when he was a baby

I made a really thick potatoe soup with spinach, chicken and spring onions in it, server with garlic ciabatta - tasty!

The Army private who stole all those thousands of documents did it because he was gay and upset over don't ask don't tell.Isn't that grand!These documents had the possibility to ignite World war 3 but would be worth it to gay private who made his statement by putting the entire world into conflict.

How the hell was someone able to walk out with all that info?

It may also be worth noting that a 32bit OS such as Win7 only supports upto 4GB RAM and depending on which Win7 64bit version, you can reach 32GB RAM.


Just a thought :o)


Why in God's name would you need 32GB of RAM?

32bit-Casual user.
64bit-Business.

32bit Windows is sufficient enough to do pretty much anything, when you start getting into programming or something like that you want 64bit pretty much for the memory overhead...even then though, there is absolutely no reason to stuff 32GB of RAM into your PC.
Unless you want to use a RAMDrive. Which is handy for speeding up things like video conversion :)


After 8GB of RAM it becomes redundant, just about every program isn't going to touch more than 8GB's...regardless. Most programs don't use more than 4, always makes me giggle when people stuff their machine with more than 8GB's of RAM. Useless really.
Actually no, it's not. As I said, not if you're using it for a RAMDrive (http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.php).

To quote "The most important difference between a RAM disk and a hard disk is access speed. The time taken for a hard disk to move its magnetic heads over the spinning disks (much like the arm moving over old vinyl record player) is typically measured in milliseconds (thousandths of a second). Whereas a RAM disk does not have mechanical parts and its access speed is typically measured in nanoseconds (billionths of a second). Access to a RAM disk may be 50 times faster or more than to a hard drive."


You're not understanding, the speed is redundant because you can get decent enough speed with 8GB of RAM. Anyone that needs anymore speed than that is just wasting money.

No, you're not understanding, I'm not talking about using it as RAM. I'm talking about using it to emulate a hard disk. THe decreased time in I/O speeds up conversions of video dramatically.


Cool, still a waste of time and money.
no its not, it saves time and as I do a lot of video conversion the title extra cash is worth it.

Battle For The Planet Of The Apes '73- Final sequel in the Ape franchise. Not a bad film, but seems a little anti-climatic following Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes which left you feeling like something big was to come next after the Ape riots and Caesar's speech. Still, always watch it when I'm rewatching the franchise.

Torgo, I have to ask, is your name based on a Futurama episode?!

I cycle for 40 minutes each day, more when the weather isn't crappy. Haven't been to the gym in a while due to time constraints but working around it, can't wait to get back though!

What do u know @ barmuda triangle?

Probably the same amount of things that I know at any other point on the globe.


Why do everything disappers there?

Trolls. They're not just on the internet you know, they're in the water too! *cue Jaws music*

Out of curiosity, have you tried using a different access point (WiFi) to make sure it's nothing as simple as the connection?
