I get error messages when refreshing the page sometimes. Other times it works.

 

EDIT: Looks to be alright now.

Where did you get the game from? It's slow because of the frame limiter. I think you can turn that off by pressing F8 (or one of the function keys), but then the game will go really fast. That's why I can't play that game.

 

To my knowledge, there is no way to fix that framerate issue.

I downloaded the Dos and the original.

The Dos (Dos Box) worked but with no radio and a little lag but the windows was slow and with no radio, i did try the frame limiter but it didn't have effect.

Do you have the version from R*'s website? That one apparently has better compatibility. By the way, have you tried running the game in any compatibility mode?

I know it's not safe to play around with running a current through your body, but I've been screwing around.

 

Anyway, I have a USB port, and when I stick one finger onto one unused port I get a tingly feeling in that finger, but when I put a second finger on another one the feeling stops, it'll only work with one finger at a time. So what am I feeling when I only have one finger there? Is it the current refusing to go through me because I don't complete the circuit?

-

Also I'm using NoScript with Firefox, is there a way to set "temporarily allow X" to a hotkey?

I'd say you are grounding to the floor with only the finger, and your shorting the system with two.

USB is 5V. Perfectly safe unless you puncture skin with a wire. Your skin provides sufficient resistance for 5V to be unable to develop lethal currents.

 

As far as what you are feeling, it sounds like you might have a problem with grounding. I'd check to make sure your PSU is properly connected, and it's actually possible that PSU itself is faulty. If you know how to use a multimeter, I'd check both AC and DC voltages on USB ground vs case ground and true ground.

 

It's very unlikely to be dangerous, but it might not be good for your computer.

Yes i tried Every version and every compatibility mode, I think we should email R* asking to fix GTA1. After all its GTA 15 years anniversary.

I had a dream that my Dad died from choking on his own vomit. Not only that, but it seemed real.

 

I just woke up and it's 6 o'clock. Yesterday my Dad was drinking a lot of alcohol but I just checked to see if he was okay and he was. I feel sick to the stomach but he probably has a hangover; is it still possible for him to choke on his vomit or will he wake up.

 

Please answer, I'm feeling so worried.

As far as I know, if he felt vomit coming up he'd wake up.

 

I don't know much on the subject but waking him up would be the best idea as of now without any help from someone who knows how these things work.

not necesarilly lazy, that does not happen in some circumstances, like if you passed out from being bloody leathered (very drunk, or for some people just drunk) which is the most common reason, or the aftermath of drunkness i.e. hangovers - you may learn this in a few years or given Britain's drinking culture - minutes

quite a few people die this way, choking on their own vomit. If you are drunk enough it may not wake you up, even if you had a mega spicy vindaloo.

 

coat. - best thing to do is roll him on his side, and give him a sick bucket.

 

the latter is just for the sake of hygiene

Is the movie "the crow" or whatever it's called, any good? (the one where bruce lee's son dies) .

My date wants to see it with me for some reason.

[Robinski]

If you think someone is at risk of vomiting without waking themselves, put them in the recovery position. Being on either your front or back can put you at risk of choking.

 

To be honest though, if you're in a position where you're likely to vomit without waking, you need someone to call you a f*cking ambulance. And this is coming from someone who gets drunk when they drink.

I think I can guess the "some reason"

anyway it is a good film, would not rate it with my all time favourites but definitely worth a watch, good dark anti-hero stuff.

This.

 

I remember for New Years 2007, I got really hammered and ended up becoming blackout drunk and I got pretty sick. I remember when I went to sleep, I was still puking sporadically, so one of the girls at the party put me on my side to ensure I wouldn't asphyxiate on my own vomit.

 

I still thank her for doing that.

[Finn 7 five 11]

By the way, being able to say you've done it is also one of the things that some of the 'tough' kids have these days

 

There's really no rush, though, honestly.

This is good advice, i have seen many friends in the rush of losing their virginity just f*ck the dirtiest chick around because they want it.

No thank-you, if a girl is keen enough to basically offer herself to you and you don't even know them...well think of all the other people she may have offered to, STI's aren't worth the risk, plus you'll regret it later.

When is the 2012 Forum Award Nominations?

When is the 2012 Forum Award Nominations?

I have also asked this. From memory miromiro told me there is no set date, but the next ones will most likely be around March next year. He isn't an admin though so he is just estimating.

[Robinski]

They tend to be in the first quarter of the year, but really it's whenever the staff can be arsed to do it.

[GTA-King]

Ah, ok. I thought they were generally around Christmas. Thanks for the heads up!

Around Christmas is usually when somebody says, "Are we doing Forum Awards this year?" And then it takes a few months to get things together. It's usually just a few active mods who end up pulling most of the weight, and it's a lot of work. So it's always a process.

[Icarus]

Just ask Ryan. He usually ends up doing like 95% of the work.

When is the 2012 Forum Award Nominations?

Whenever any staff member decides to get around and do it, or when I decide to just do it myself since nobody else will.

Because Ryan is Ginger he can claim special discrimination rights, so the mods allow him to have the special privilege of creating and administering the forum awards. It basically changes his permissions behind the scenes so he can create the topic in the Announcements forum and allow him an ARA (Access Restricted Areas) pass so he can add up the numbers, I believe in the Admin Control Panel (ACP) it is imaginatively called "The Ginger Switch".

I was checking some old clothes I haven't worn since I moved to this house nearly two years ago, looking for some spare change when I saw a pack of chewing gum in a coat pocket. There's a lot of pieces and it's a little moist...

[Pyrrhic]

Why bother risking it? its just a piece of gum...

My mom had a pack of Michael Jackson bubblegum from the late 80s, and I ate some some time around 2008, still good, just a little stiff. The flavor was still there, and it was still capable of being chewed normally.
