Can you please...

[Nupraptor]

Save the banners as higher quality jpegs? They look all blurry!

[DarthPoreon]

I though thtat was the point..

[Nupraptor]

Looking blurry? Why?

Oh, I get it... you want all your enemies to strain their eyes, so they'll go into battle half-blind! Ah ha! I'm onto your little scheme, Viscera!

[DarthPoreon]

Well, if you insist on me explaining, I was thinking it looked like a lightsaber..

[Nupraptor]

Does the text have to look like a lightsabre?

[DarthPoreon]

Get glasses

[Nupraptor]

Sorry, my vision's fine. But, like I explained to DV, it could just be my screen resolution. Between my Optiquest Z90 and my GeForce 2 GTS, I can do some pretty ungodly things. :)

[Khendon Sevon]

It's just your computer, I have a nice lil (god) machine and it looks clear to me... and i'm in 1600x1200!

[Darth Viscera]

Nup's in 1600x1200x32x75hz. I feel so low tech. I usually run in 1024x768x16x85hz, but today I'm running in 1152x768x16x75hz. My Geforce2 MX and ViewSonic A75f PerfectFlat can't handle anything higher, and my eyes go crazy most of the time if I dip below 85hz.

[Nupraptor]

I have a nice lil (god) machineYou're speaking to the owner of the GodBox, aka "Dreadnaught". :)

[Darth Viscera]

Who's dreadnaught? You or your comp?

[Nupraptor]

Erm, my computer. Hence the "Also Known As". :p

[Darth Viscera]

ah, but you also could have been speaking of the owner, which is you.

Why did you change your sig? I liked it before, now it's just creapy.

[Nupraptor]

[Nupraptor]

And DV - I like my sig being creepy. :D

[Delirion]

*sits in a corner and grumbles about having a -DO-NOT-SWEAR--DO-NOT-SWEAR--DO-NOT-SWEAR--DO-NOT-SWEAR-ty machine she doesn't even want anyone to know the specs of - it would be very embarrassing*

[Darth Viscera]

at least you coulda' put a Duron in them!

-Said the modem user.

No way! I like L2 cache! Go download a 50meg file :p

[Nupraptor]

Go download a 50meg file Sure, I've got a few minutes to kill. :)

[Darth Viscera]

I was talking to Adm. Sevon over there. I have a few minutes to kill too, but it would like 3 hrs. for him to download a file of that size. And what the hell happened to your custom title? I didn't change it.

[Nupraptor]

No, I did. :)

[Darth Viscera]

What?!?!? HOW?!?!?

[Nupraptor]

Relax, Viscey. My account got deleted.

[Khendon Sevon]

Nap, my comp kicks yours. I can't get any other form of connection where I am; fiberoptic phone lines (can't get DSL, ADSL, or any variant), no cable modem access, none planned, don't want one way sat. internet, in late 2001 we'll have two way, need to convince dad to let me get that $2,000 T1, might take some time.

[Nupraptor]

Three words: GeForce 2 GTS :p

Try running Win2k

[Darth Viscera]

I got Win2k and 98. Win2k supports like NOTHING, so I justuse it for serious stuff from time to time like Photoshop 5.5 and O2k premium.


BTW, does Win2k support CD-writers yet?

[Darth Viscera]

and how the hell do you run msconfig in Win2k? In 98 and ME, you just go to Run, and type in msconfig, but there doesn't seem to be an msconfig in 2k. I need to disable MSN messenger from starting up automatically when 2k boots up.

[Nupraptor]

I was telling Khendon to get Win2k. It does support nVidia products. Booyah!

Also, for some strange reason, I can now crank my monitor res much higher. I'm running at 2048x1536 now. It seems that everytime I come back from a LAN party, my computer does strange things. :/ Well, at least this isn't something detrimental.

[Darth Viscera]

I know it supports nvidia drivers. Just don't be surprised if you find out that you can't run in hardware mode in some 3d games.


Did you update a video card driver to get that high?

[Nupraptor]

Nope, I didn't do a bloody thing. Like I said, strange things happen when I come back from LANs.

[Director Isard]

*Looks over thread and her eyes fix at one spot...*


Nap, my comp kicks yours...

*Looks at Nup, then back at at that line...*

*breaks out laughing*

Muahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

Oh man, that's a good one....:lol:

[Darth Viscera]

?

[Talth]

Are you ppl all English?

[Darth Viscera]

Well I don't know about you, but I'm bloody well english.

[Talth]

[Darth Viscera]

And what's wrong with that?
