    FAO: Europe and the rest of the world.

    Right, got me there, that does not mean they can still join up as a non-EU member. There's money to be made on both ends after all... But want an example of eurofilia? Our state secretary of social affairs forced a 100-page agreement to send off our pension funds down the government body, to be...

    FAO: Europe and the rest of the world.

    @wcnut: The UK for now still remains part of the Shengen area, since the Shengen agreement is independent of the European union.

    FAO: Europe and the rest of the world.

    "Leaving the EU" would not be of that much consequence for the UK. They were isolated anyway, and have had a pretty strong localized economy and mosts brits I have known, have always done a lot of local stuff... Local products, local pricing. Also, prices really differ when you cross the...

    Non functioning motherboard/new build advice

    You have sent it over to Odyssey I presume? They'd probably just replace the entire socket on the board as standard procedure with a fixed price.. They might also offer you a discount on a refurbished 2011 board if they can salvage your MB for spare parts..

    Non functioning motherboard/new build advice

    Not as heavy into motherboards as I used to be. and more of an AMD guy myself, but that socket looks damaged in two places in the bottom left to me. Maybe someone else around here knows this socket type and canconfirm it? A new replacement board would set you back around €200,- .If you made...

    Non functioning motherboard/new build advice

    That was why we have the 80+ standard.. A power supply will lose some efficiency over time, but if he took at the Powerhungry GPU out and disconnected all other hardware, even a 450 power supply should be sufficient for that rig to start up... Non-80+ PSU's are like the Audio systems from the...

    Non functioning motherboard/new build advice

    - Can you try connect a PC speaker to it so it can give you the beeps? (some boards also communicate through the line-out) - This board has a "memOK!" feature, does the corresponding LED light up? - Have you inspected the CPU socket, that one of the connectors is not bend? There are loads of...

    Bad movie going experiences

    Popcorn is okay, crisps/chips are not, especially the "crackling of the bag", while the atmosphere in the movie is building on a scene that is quiet.

    Bad movie going experiences

    Yes, and ofcourse we all laughed when Hulk beat up Loki in the first avengers.... but only happens when people WATCH the movie. And here's the fun thing about those extra "experiences". You don't have to pay anything extra, the cinema in question is actually targeting the audience, with...

    Bad movie going experiences

    Sounds familiar, and there are numerous theaters popping up, and even starting a countrywide franchise around here who do limited showings for the real blockbuster on special hours, or in a smaller hall for people who "just want to watch the movie", without irritating themselves by housewives...

    Purchasing new laptops

    I prefer to use AMD in a desktop build for myself, because I don't mind tweaking around a bit, and it's more bang for the buck. However, as far as laptops go I'd definitely stick with intel. My last AMD build lasted almost ten years(May 2006/September 2015, only swapping videocards and hard...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    As far as i know, and me tempering with WC2 in the 90's, is that when the audio file is finished, it will continue on towards the next line of dialogue, and skip over animation, even on slow computers. On a 486 with a 40Mhz FSB, thrakhath was moving his lips like "Scatman John", and then cuff...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Instead of trying to fix it, why not try to put "speech"(a single "silent" audio file), onto those dialogues, and point in speechless conversations to that file everytime? It should fix the framerate, and avoid the flying cockpit(That really is CPU speed, or video card speed related).

    star wars rogue one teaser trailer

    "Sarah Connor"(Linda Hamilton) trained for only 6 weeks to get the muscular development you saw in T2(She used creatine, and she has a very slim build). For comparison; Chris Hemsworth trained for four months to get his "legendary fysigue" The media makes more out of it then what they actually...

    star wars rogue one teaser trailer

    Dude relax, there is nothing wrong with a female protagonist. However the "PC" as you, in my personal opinion you correctly call it, has gone too far. Apperantly the character Finn is also gay now, well, good for the writers to try to appeal to another audience. But this pretty much backfires...

    star wars rogue one teaser trailer

    Well, Kyle had no force powers in the first game, where he steals the plans to the death star(what they are going to do in that movie), so no changes there.

    star wars rogue one teaser trailer

    Everybody already did on the rest of the internet. Google "rogue one dark forces" The second "Jan Ors" said her name, and the guy in brown looked up from the side of the screen... All we are missing now is the "Moldy crow".

    star wars rogue one teaser trailer

    I'd say that IF the lead characters are, or are based on the characters from dark forces, they are doing a good job, since they would be bringing in the story from the point of view from Jan Ors(I have yet to see a confirmation of the real spelling of her name, but I'm prette sure "Jyne Ersoa"...

    star wars rogue one teaser trailer

    Well, the internet is hot ranting on this, but untill we know more, the guy in brown, played by actor Diego Luna: Is a lead character in the film, and he might just be Katarn, or a character based on him. We'll probably learn that in the next trailer.
