So is it just my POV, but is the banner at the top of the page gone?

Hm, the top of the page does look a little smaller to me... Might just be imagining things.

My hard drive died.

Then, it was alive again. I don't know what happened, but everything, and I mean everything, was deleted. Thankfully my dad had an old, unused Windows XP service pack 3 disc on his office, and I had to reinstall like, 1000 drivers :/

A fresh install of Windows XP makes me feel like I'm 10 years old again. I should install Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology.
[/Nostalgia]


Also, regarding the shoot out, what kind of perverted person goes and shoot kids? 5-10 year old kids? Bastard. And he also killed his family? Incredible. It's just...
I can't describe how ♥♥♥♥ like that makes me feel.
There isn't enough punishment for those kind of people.

And how did he even get a gun? I mean, he's most probably a psycho, are guns really that accessible in the US?
They should really make some deep changes regarding laws about guns in there.

Technically you're 4 times more likely to be struck by lightning, than to be shot at school. Some idiot was saying the solution was to arm the teachers, I don't think guns are dangerous. It's the people behind guns who kill people. Obviously this guy was ♥♥♥♥ up, but it had something to do with his mom, the kids were in the wrong situation.

This.
In Amurica, if you want to get a gun you can get a gun. Legal or otherwise. Gun Control sorta helps, but there's still gonna be plenty of firearms out there. Also, the guns aren't really the problem, it's the crazy people who think that shooting up a school is a solution.

This just in on the shooting
So far Adam Lanza's confirmed weaponary is two Glock (18?) pistols, possibly a Sig Sauer (P226?) and maybe one more pistol.
He also tried to buy more weapons several days before the shooting but was denied because he was reluctant to have the background check. His brother has also been taken into custody.

People always jump to blame the availability of weapons in these things, but really it's the lack of people caring about their obviously mentally disturbed neighbors. The VT kid's roommate knew he was disturbed, and he had been showing signs of snapping for weeks.
I would not be surprised at all if this guy had been severely depressed and had mommy issues.

I like guns and the right to own guns, but only for recreational purposes like hunting/target shooting. Although the amount of shootings would definitely go down if we had more gun restriction laws, I agree that the guns aren't the real problem.
I don't intend on actually owning any guns in the future despite the fact that I already do. I don't really have a need for one and I don't intend to live in the US all of my life anyway so getting used to having a gun would be pointless anyway.

This shitty integrated Radeon HD4200 can't even run Crusader Kings 2.
Empire Earth stutters.
Team Fortress 2 slows down to 3 fps during intense combat.

Probably because it's an integrated card and you're supposed to have a real one for any given gaming computer.

I'm off to see The Hobbit guys!

It's been six years since I last went to the movies, and coming back with The Hobbit is an awesome plan.

Don't complain, Team Fortress 2 here runs at about 5 frames per minute. During combat it crashes.
I don't even believe it actually runs here.
