    When I purchased my laptop a couple months ago, I was forced to use Windows 8. The MSI GT70 with the specs I wanted just wouldn't allow anything but win8.

     

    I miss the ease of the Windows 7 because it's a pretty stout OS, but Windows 8 isn't too bad. Although I almost sent the laptop back because of the bugs. Looking back now, I think it had more to do with MSI's shitty software than anything Microsoft did. After fighting with it for a month and finding a way to get my start menu back, I finally came to the point where it was a reliable system. Few hiccups here and there but for the most part I enjoy it. Not sure how it will run on a lesser system tho. I'm using an i7/670mx/16gb pc12800.

     

    lol, as I just try to click the start button, the computer freezes. ha ha very funny,

     

    I am having a slightly annoying problem that I may post tomorrow. I don't think it has anything to do with Win8 though. Just trying to move into the 802.11ac realm.

    Is Zero DR WINKEY?! also thats cool zar! I am glad things are going well and I am too lazy to write more than that! lol Looks awesome and glad your doing well.

    I don't think so . . . Winkey is a chemistry professor working at Renmin University of China in Beijing or something last time I heard. Zero was a person I met up with at Xenoproductions and we found out that we were doing the same meter reading job for the same large power company. I haven't heard from winkey for a very long time.

     

    ^ what were the chances of that. Still blows me away. Not to thread jack your stuff but heard a few new things from good ol' buffet. My buddy that I read meters with was telling me, they now print out a report about your daily activities (every break, every time you take a piss, every time you leave your truck idle for more than 20 seconds, every time you exceed the speed limit) and they lay it out on the table for everyone to see. This is every day. Can you imagine the drama that would cause? Jesus, I miss the pay and benefits but F that.

     

    Yup, I'm just boring old Zero. I don't know how to code or even give any useful input, I had to buy everyone's friendship through rapidshare accounts. haha, not really but... ok maybe a little.

     

    Edit: I can imagine you get the opportunity to take some amazing pictures on a daily basis.

     

    How long are your ventures out into the Alaskan wild?

    Fc3sZero long time no see. How you been? I stopped reading meters for Rocky Mountain Power and very happy I went back to school. It doesn't pay as much as a meterman (my old goal with the power company) but I still get to be outside. How is your family doing? Any new kids since the last visit?

     

    I forget when the last time I was here haha. I have 2 boys now (2 and 5yrs old). Got fixed, so no more kids for me.

     

    Pacific Power and I parted way last February. A bit of a story behind that but it was long overdue. Reading meters was a good job (for those without any college education) but it would have been 7-8 years in March, it became mindless work for me at that point. My sweetheart of a boss (she was like a mom to me) retired and her replacement was an emotionless ex-sheriff with an extraordinarily dry sense of humor. To make matters worse, the company finally went with GPS tracking on all the vehicles right after I left. So things were looking pretty bleak there.

     

    ohhh.... what else. In a raging fury of irresponsibility I took out my entire IRA from JP Morgan and blew it on car parts, a new GT70 laptop, office equipment for my wife, and forget what else. Part of it sorta fell through the cracks. I planned on going to college for CIS but that just never built much momentum. Looking for work currently, luckily unemployment is kicking me $450/week but I'm still unsure what I'm doing. All i know is I need to figure it out quick. Waiting to hear back from a underground utility locating company to see if I did well enough on their placement test.

     

    Ending up here after googling my email looking for places where I left it open for the public to see. Too much spam and it was endless. You have facebook?

    add me on msn, ill help u get ur server up.

     

    Sorry what I meant was "my server" as is the one I play on. I don't actually own it but thanks anyways! :thumbsup:

     

    never have never will ive seen what that game does to you

     

    What the game does to you is entirely your choice. But I can understand if you don't have the mental discipline to hold back.

    Make a profit or receive money? If it was illegal to "donate" I'm sure they would have changed it to "Give me $20 for a full set of t6 gear or kick down $30 for 100g" but they were pretty adamant about it being considered "donating"

     

    But I don't fully understand the laws, so i'll take your word for it.

     

     

    There is still private servers up but they are small and probably not as good as the big ones that were up.

     

    The server i was playing on was thinking about adding Wotk but they said not to hold your breath. It would have been to difficult to implement along with the 3.0x patch. A lot of the other servers were no where near putting that in either since it would pretty much destabilize the whole thing.

    I was hearing about Wowscape making a good amount of money of donations. They were also saying that the server owner was saying they were going to be back up soon just to suck a few more dollars out of people.

     

    I figured that they couldn't shut down all the private servers. Anyone know of any that haven't been targeted?

    A quote from BurningWow. The place I used to play.

     

    We are sad to inform all the community here that we have been served with a DMCA notice and will be ceasing operation of the servers effective immediately.

     

    As some of you may of noticed, a handful of other private servers have also been hit with this notice, so it is not just us and it is widespread. So far it seems isolated to the hosting provider being used by us and those other servers, but other servers may end up receiving the same notice as well.

     

    We are not taking any chances and are going to be cooperative in this time, and will proceed with taking down all our WoW gaming realms. At this stage we have no intention of reviving the servers, as that would be potentially violating the conditions of the DMCA.

     

    For donaters, if you donated just recently and haven't got your reward, contact us about it and we will look at refunding your money. Same will go for very recent donaters. Any longer standing donaters, sorry we will not be refunding that money as you have been using those rewards, and our donation terms clearly state we do not offer refunds, however in exceptional circumstances we will for a very limited range of people.

     

    Sad to see things end this way and so quick, but it has to be done.

     

    We will try to keep at least a main website up and possibly forums aswell running for the time being so you all can stay informed on the situation as it unfolds, and we will try to let everyone know if there are some changes.

     

    For now, its time to say goodbye....:D

     

    Take care and best wishes.

     

     

    A lot of the major Private servers are down now.

    Yeah that car is pretty riced out. Crazy what people come up with to make it look fast.

     

    Although you should probably have a bit more respect for people's vehicles other than vandalize it. Even if it does look that bad. Sooner or later they will grow up and be embarrassed later on in life.

    I would play it on a console but that is something I lack and computers i have in abundance. I don't see myself buying a console any time soon.

     

    Maybe a PS3 becuase blueray players are about the same price.

    I downloaded it and installed it but having a hell of a time trying to get it started up. CD key i guess it no valid. I think i'll try to install it without that EA updater. been awhile since i've played a pirated game... stupid WoW. o.0:stink:

    The words that come out of Palin's mouth scares me. The words that come out of McCain's and Obama's mouth are just typical. If McCain picked another VP, I may have voted for him.

     

    I voted for Obama.

    Ok well I know nigger can be taken offensively by other niggers, but i mean it in this term the origins

     

    ORIGIN from Spanish negro ‘black’.

    Oxford Dictionary ( a reputable dictionary source than dictionary.com)

     

    BTW are you black?

    Because if you are tell me and tell me if "Nigger" offends you. I will stop. And knowing fishie He wouldnt do all that shit without a reason. And i read some of the shit and it was brutal, but there must have been a reasonable explanation for this.

     

    It may have a honest beginning but in this day and age, in this nation the term "nigger" is not acceptable regardless how you mean, who said it or who is was directed to. The swastika is not acceptable but it predated the Nazi's thousands of years ago... so no one uses it. Why is that any different? There are perfectly acceptable ways to refer to African Americans. Why do you choice to refer to them as that?

     

    I am not black but I have enough respect to not use that word and stand up to ignorant people that feel it's OK to use that word. There is no "can be taken offensively" there is no positive way to use that word...

     

    never mind I'm going to bed.

    Also if my usage of nigger to say that Obama, who clearly is a nigger, offended any other "African-Americans" then I am sorry. I meant to say nigger in the way of his colour of his skin as in black.
