Maybe the Droid X is for you as it's a very similar phone, possibly better in some ways. It doesn't have 4G, but I don't know anything about 4G networks in Australia. Hell, in Los Angeles we don't even have one running yet.

I was thinking about the Droid X (and Dell Streak) but I keep hearing rumours of a 1.5ghz, 4.8" screen android phone coming out via HTC on Verizon. So annoying, it's hard keeping up.

This feature is for lazy guys Pdub.Better watch out!
But i would love to have one of those!

[Patr1ck]

It better have a bigger resolution than 800*480 because the quality of the screen can leave something to be desired, so I read somewhere. It looks fine to me, since I can't see pixels on a 32" 1366*768 hdtv. At nearly 5 inches, it might as well be a tablet.

Got Football Manager 2010 for 20$ today. Haha, 50% off from 40$

[J@3]

What do you think of it? I've had a hard time getting into FM since they changed the tactic system in 09. Really annoys me that I can't do diagonal arrows lol. Also I'm not too keen on the layout.

[antho]

Ahh, I had this rule where i'd buy FM every 3 years
I bought FM06, then bought FM09, then assumed that it would keep me satisfied, cause' i'm not addicted to it, but then I got FM10 at such a cheap price I thought hey, what the hell haha.

Well, I think it's a pretty good game, FM09 that is. I haven't installed FM10 yet, plan on doing that tomorrow, so I can have a good days worth of playing.

Speaking of which Jae, curious but what do you prefer to do in FM? Small team to become a huge megapower or start off big? I have to admit the most fun I had was with two saves in FM09, one with Inter where I dominated and had all the best players, the other with AFC Wimbledon, who started in the Blue Square South division (Lowest Division in Britain out of the six there are), made it to Coca-Cola League 2 before I started losing a fair bit

[J@3]

I prefer taking smaller teams and building them up but it's kinda near impossible in 09/10... maybe I just suck at the game but I have a lot of trouble winning with smaller teams. In 08 the youth development system was great, so you could do what real teams do and develop guys, sell them off and then use that money to either re-invest in more/better youth prospects or buy better players. Like I had a league one team with a Brazilian guy I'd had for 3 years, I sold him for 7 million and that instantly made me the richest team in the league. So I just bought everyone elses best players and was promoted twice in a row.

I had an awesome game with AC Milan though come to think of it. Doing the same thing only the quality of the players was a hundred times better. I think big Italian teams are more fun than big English or Spanish teams.

Damn you badman, damn you. Can you ship your older card?

I recently bought acrylic paint for the scale model I bought last May. Talk about being a bum.

[el badman]

Can you ship your older card?

If you were in the US, I wouldn't mind, but you're slightly further...
If anyone here is interested, I'll be selling the GTX260 for $80, still runs great.

[Lean]

...no I'm not gonna buy it, you're just gonna give it to meh.

[shadowgrin]

If el badman is going to give it to you for free, he demands you give him some favors.

[Jackal]

Someone mentioned favors?

Can I give him favors and Lean gets the card?

[Jackal]

No more heat for my sperm.

[Lean]

Someone mentioned favors?

Can I give him favors and Lean gets the card?

My pleasure, Jackie Boy.

[Jackal]

I didnt even realize I was hitting on a fellow poster in this thread. Can someone merge my posts and make me not look like a total n00b?

And shutup Lean, I have to do him the favors, not you. You just wait for you card.

$80? I may be interested. I think shipping would be about $20. Let me think, I have to see if it'll fit my case first.

His private weekly webcam show won't be enough this time around, unless some sort of amphibian is involved.

Let me think, I have to see if it'll fit my case first.

The card is 12" long (like Lean's ...), and it's large enough to cover a PCI port that you may have under the PCI-Express port, so it's pretty big...

[J@3]

I just did some measuring, it should fit fine. If you wanna ship it I'll definitely buy it. Just let me know what postage is gonna cost and I'll paypal it whenever.

Been stuck with a crappy digital camera for several years so I finally decided to invest in a better one, the Samsung TL105:


Also, a Sony MP3 player for my wife. I was fed up with iPods and their fucking iTunes, and my Zune just lasted a couple of months before the battery died, so I wanted to try another brand, and so far so good. No software to install, which is a big plus, it's integrated in the Windows Explorer interface, and it all works like a charm.
