AMD. Dunno why.

Creditcard or bank transfer?

Arcane WIzard · Post by **Arcane WIzard** » Wed 06 Sep, 2006 2:26 pm

Bank transfer, because credit cards are retardedly insecure.

Fuck all clothing shops for having sucky clothes or fuck yourself and buy them anyway?

Fuck shops. I buy shirts online.

Azureus or uTorrent?

King Harold · Post by **King Harold** » Wed 06 Sep, 2006 2:43 pm

Azureus, looks nicer to my opinion, and i dont think it matters in download speed..

C++ or C# if you had to choose?

Neither. bittorrent for the win, as THAT ACTUALLY HAS A TEXT-MODE VERSION. I don't need all the fancy crud that GUI-based ones have. I want to run my torrents out of sight and out of mind, goddammit. I don't have a GUI on my router, nor does it have the RAM for even a bare-bones one with just a VNC-X server, so bittorrent-curses works fine for me.

I'd rather die than use C# again, and I don't know enough C++ yet. Regardless I'd say Java because it's better than either of them.

Or (recurring joke I've been doing the past couple of days), just use ADD 1 TO COBOL GIVING COBOL.

Battery life or performance (for a laptop)?

BitTornado for text-mode (= no gui bugs yay) and being better than bittorent.

performance. I don't like it when companies make things smaller, slower(or otherwise inferior), and more expensive. [cough]apple[/cough] I'd rather not have a slow, small laptop that has more battery life. There are plenty of electrical outlets around. As long as I get a fairly decent amount of battery life(say an hour or so) I'm ok with it.

also, I did ask almost the same question a page or two ago.

Sun or IBM cpu's?

IBM, you don't see too much Sun hardware on desktops and I don't care that much about servers.

LCD or Plasma?

LCD.
Auto-hide taskbar/dock or no?

Scavenger · Post by **Scavenger** » Thu 07 Sep, 2006 2:11 am

No auto-hide. Auto-hide adds that annoying line on top and it pops up and down all the time.

C++. I've never used C# though, so I'm sort of biased.

Isometric or top-down?

leofox · Post by **leofox** » Thu 07 Sep, 2006 3:38 pm

Semi-topdown. Layout like topdown, but sprites are almost front view.

graphics or performance, on calcs?

CompWiz · Post by **CompWiz** » Thu 07 Sep, 2006 7:37 pm

well, as long as it isn't a slideshow, I'd say go for graphics, even if it only can show 10 fps. as long as it's playable then I'd like to see some great graphics.

Austrailia or New Zealand?

Shadow Phoenix · Post by **Shadow Phoenix** » Fri 08 Sep, 2006 2:55 am

New Zealand, because thats where the good cheeeeeeeeeese comes from!!!

!!!!

Orange juice or Apple juice?

Andy_J · Post by **Andy_J** » Fri 08 Sep, 2006 3:24 am

Apple juice. It's a lot smoother. I like OJ too, just not as much.

Drink right out of the can or use a straw?
