Got the same score as Travis.. I fell for most of your trick questions, I'll admit

You WOULD wait for that rock to erode!

Yay, Firefox. I use it for everything and have no problems

Atom · Reply #27 - 06 March 2005, 21:01:44

I use Firefox for everything except Hotmail, because that doesn't work on non-MS programs.

Hehe, I got the same score as Atom. Did you all get the first question wrong too?

No, I got that one right, coz I know free has two names, so that wasn't his full name there

Besides we all know he's a
private man, when it comes to his identity

A quite funny quiz.
I also got 50 points.

DocHoliday · Reply #30 - 07 March 2005, 14:46:38

hehe, maybe I'll make one myself

freespace2dotcom · Reply #31 - 07 March 2005, 20:58:12

...And Atom remains on the top with a 50%

Maybe Dan will take it and show you suckers.

DocHoliday · Reply #32 - 07 March 2005, 22:13:03

yeah, at least he can CHECK when you registered on the forum!

Krytom · Reply #33 - 07 March 2005, 23:22:05

Free, did you time it so you entered on that 'nice' date, or did you come across the forum on that particular day and
join for the sake of it?

freespace2dotcom · Reply #34 - 08 March 2005, 13:52:38

To be honest, it was quite a coincidence.

Anybody who can remember that far back will remember that my first post was under the thread "solar system blues"
and I was frustrated at the fact that I couldn't (and still can't) get two planets in a solar system to revolve around
each other while orbiting around their star. That fact that it was on the day it was was largely a coincidence and I didn't even realize it at the time. (when making the quiz, I went back to that thread to find out what day it was.) I still have that system somewhere on my PC and not one bit of work has been done on it since.

I'm a man of priorities, I am.

Sheesh I sounded like a post-doctorate in that thread

And most of it was probably dead wrong, anyway. I didn't
realize it was you first thread/post though at the time.

freespace2dotcom · Reply #36 - 08 March 2005, 14:22:09

So when was *you* first thread/post, doc?

DocHoliday · Reply #37 - 08 March 2005, 15:07:00

No idea

And it's "youR"

Atom · Reply #38 - 08 March 2005, 17:14:20

The first Atom post was in GUPT I [04-27-04]. Not sure about the Krytom post though.

freespace2dotcom · Reply #39 - 08 March 2005, 18:05:41

Yes doc, I know it's "your"

I was making fun of *you* because *you* said "you" instead of "your"

Oooooooooooooooooh!!!!

This looks like fun!

*sigh* yesyesyesyes I see now. I bow to your superior intellect Lord Freespace2nitpicky

DocHoliday · Reply #43 - 08 March 2005, 23:04:05

Now this Pandora Alice, is actually able to convince me for a while, it's actually intelligent

neat!

Travis Reed · Reply #44 - 09 March 2005, 03:31:50

I'll have to take a look at it later. Looks interesting though.

freespace2dotcom · Reply #45 - 09 March 2005, 13:55:26

hehe. I wish i had logged my conversation. I was convinced very early onm that it wasn't real.

it was fun learning of it's limitations, though.

Atom · Reply #46 - 10 March 2005, 01:36:32

OK, I got a new graphics card, yay. A 256mb Nvidia FX 5200 for £60. I'm happy.

I now have to aim for a new processor. This old 1.8ghz needs replacing.

A pointless PC update from me.

DocHoliday · Reply #47 - 10 March 2005, 08:27:37

It's funny how a decision to upgrade one part of your comp, usually cascades down to pretty much everything that's
inside

I was the same. Had a lousy graphics card, decided I'd need a new one, but then with the new one, the
processor would lag behind. But the new processor will need a new MB... which in turn will require a new set of RAM.
So while I'm at it, the HD could be bigger too, since even Orbiter gets bigger these days.. so in the end I decided to
buy a complete new comp

but I got an excellend deal. That was a year or two ago.. Now my Athlon 1800 XT seems
like abacus again

Cheers,

Hey, my Duron 1600 does pretty well, of course, the 128 meg Geforce 4 helps...

freespace2dotcom · Reply #49 - 10 March 2005, 11:31:56

And of course my monster is still very powerful..

But even that isn't full power anymore.
