    buying art supplies...cheapest and best

    If anyone's interested I have some 2nd hand student oils along with oil and glaze medium, and also some canvasses. It's all in good condition, send a pm if interested. Much cheaper than buying new. :)

    Senior Officer's experiences and account of middle eastern crime

    Interesting stuff. I'd sure hate to live somewhere like Cabramatta or Redfern x.x

    Pixel Pipelines

    This guide is for the 6800's, but if you follow the first few steps you should be able to work out if there are any unlockable pipes on your 6600. http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/aoa-faq/32005-overclocking-your-nvidia-6800-6800le-ddr.html Failing that a volt-mod might enable some higher clock...

    Demotivated

    I'm the same atm - just can't be bothered practising, it seems such a chore. Bah! Last time I was like this, some Rossini got me fired up. So yeah, maybe look for some exciting/energetic music to get you going? Depends on your taste of course. Otherwise relaxation time is always good...

    What games are you playing now during the holidays?

    A bit of Rebellion, maybe some AOE2 if I can get a multiplayer game happening. Oh, and COD once it arrives. :D Old games rule.

    University accommodation affordable without outside help?

    It shouldn't be too hard if you apply for youth allowance. Combined with rent assitance, you can probably get about $200 a week, and you are allowed to earn up to $230 per week (I think), before they start reducing your allowance.

    Do You Think You'll Do A Postgraduate Degree?

    Eh, I'll most likely do Honours in the B. Mus(Comp) and then possibly go on to Masters or Doctorate or something. It all depends on what's involved though - I don't have much of an idea atm. Composition projects would be easy, but I'm not too keen on research/analysis. Being able to get a job...

    Guys with Creativity

    I'm fairly creative with composing music... but there's no way I could compare to brogan's genius. He's Australia's equivalent of Lord Byron, for sure. :P

    Accidnets

    Had two close calls - once I almost ran into the back of someone, after being distracted, and the second time I did a 180 after taking a downhill corner too fast and over-correcting, fortunately not running off the road. Suffice to say I drive sensibly now. ^.^

    hard to find games

    Have a look around the net - particularly, check the whirlpool forums, as they have a list of online game stores. Sometimes you can pick up old games at certain stores - they have old copies that never sold, etc. This worked for me with SW:Kotor.

    The Overclocking Thread

    aye, higher voltages generally allow for faster clock speeds, but there is more heat, and often shorter lifespan. In many cases you can change voltages such as CPU through BIOS, but most nvidia graphics cards need hard mods to change it (ATI's can be soft modded I think). Have a look at BIOS...

    Build a PC - $1000

    I built a decent budget gaming system for about 700-800, monitor excluded. After overclocking it runs very well - gives about 10950 on 3dmark03. Asus K8N4-E (skt 754) Sempron 2800 7600GS 512Mb Corsair RAM 80Gb SATA plus case and psu, and windows.

    The Overclocking Thread

    Ah yes, I was quite into o/c'ing a while back. It got pretty tech - I was doing some voltage hard-mods, soldering pots onto IC's and all that... quite fun. :D As for results, I o/c'ed my skt 754 Sempron 2800+ from 1.6Ghz to 2.7Ghz on stock cooling, after a volt-mod from 1.39v to 1.57v. Ram...

    Question for the ladies?

    lol, my old mates' girlfriend did this a lot (to the point of being considered 'one of the boys'), but then she ended up cheating on him after getting a bit too drunk when he wasn't around. Hm...

    Dead Heart

    Take it easy dodgyfilokid, and try not to be too hard on yourself eh. Sometimes no-one is to blame for these things, as difficult as this is to accept. :( As for those who think it's better to 'act cool and be tough', and not have any emotions, I think you need to grow up.

    Does God exist?

    Just one point I'd like to make. I would like to argue, but it is futile, because the experience of God cannot be articulated, hence the Schopenhauer quote mentioning symbols and signs. With philosophical enquiry one finds nothing, but this does not necessarily mean that there is nothing...

    Dead Heart

    Heh, same here Serius - I'm growing rather indifferent about the whole affair. A girl would be nice, but I can easily live without. I used to have romantic ideas about love, but had a few failed relationships, and now I've just adjusted to the solitude, and prefer it. I often feel...
