Welcome to >XI<. Cheers

Both companies are moving full speed ahead with excellent cards all designed for gaming in mind. I am running AMD HD 6950 2GB card right now as well and does what I need it to do. Again, at the time, was the best bang for my buck. For some, it is personal preference.

Welcome to the family Spike. Cheers

Welcome to >XI<. Cheers

Thanks everyone. Appreciate your words very much.

This week has been a hard week for my wife and I. On Monday afternoon, we lost our little boy Zeus. He was having a seizure when I got home from work and all I could do was hold him as the seizures did not stop. They became too much for his body to bear and he passed in my arms. It was the most heart wrenching experience and to not be able to do anything for him but sit with him and comfort him. The vet told us that with the condition of a seizure, he would have been unaware and in no pain. That was our only comfort in knowing he did not suffer. He just turned 2 last month. As the week continues, without him, we miss him very much. We got Zeus when he was almost 4 months old as a rescued pup and we move on in knowing that although he had short life with us, he had a good, fun life who was loved by all of us. He is survived by his older brother Baxxter who we know misses him as well. Zeus - April 2012 to May 2014

Welcome to the forums schnoog and good to hear you enjoy the server. Frag on...

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.' I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!' So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... 'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.' She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?' Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.' We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier.' I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.' Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?' I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.' And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?' Apparently I'm not having sex tonight.

Congrats eidolon. Now put that higher education to work and make us some more maps. In all serious though, well done.

Welcome xeon. Target rusty all you like. Lol

Looks good. That one needed to be a bit bigger.

You're lucky it only got hit once. Any more and you'd be down to dial up speed.

Welcome Barron.

These guys are right Dean. There are a lot of cards out there these days for sure so finding the worthy one can be difficult. Do you have a max $ you want to spend? Knowing that would help make it easier finding the best card for the value.

He can be taught. That's it Cruz. You can't beat us and as you are now one of us, you might as well join us. It's OK to be an Idiot here.

That's damn fast.

Way to go fellas. Thanks

The heartbeat code was originally written by a German volunteer. The code was written as an improvement to openssl and submitted to one of the core guys, one of a small handful of volunteers, who look after the openssl releases. Well, these guys also reviewed the code and what we know as an error now, was overlooked. The new code was subsequently added to the release and the rest is today's news. Just goes to show, even the most diligent programmers can miss something unfortunately this little error caused a huge hole in the software. Even more, this 'bug' has been around for a couple of years already when the version of openssl was released with this heartbeat code.

Yes, interesting. Read some stuff on the bug a little while ago. Same deal, all about the memory dump during the heartbeat request. Pretty crafty to pick up on that and be able to exploit it.
