My serious opinion is that girls only look bad without makeup on (and boy, can they look bad) because we've had our expectations artificially raised by makeup. It's like we find drawn-on faces more attractive than actual human female faces now.A funny fact is that many guys do not even realize when a girl is wearing makeup, since they make it look so natural. Then the guys go around saying "I like girls without makeup" not even knowing that they've probably seldom ever seen a woman without it, and in many cases would think "fugly" if they did.
It does not sound like a virus to me; first of all, virus attacks seldom explode and turn the entire PC upside down just like that when browsing through a website, that'd be some serious shit in that case. Dunno if you said that you already have, but run a virus check just in case.
Otherwise, I'd recommend opening the chassi and clean it, carefully. There are different ways you can do this, personally I tend to use an air compressor and blow it clean, works wonders and do not risk damaging anything. I have myself experienced crashes and having my PC run extremely slow because it's been full of dust and alike, and cleaning it has worked for me, so it might just do the trick.
Well, this sounds like some strange shit to me, so in the end, if nothing else works, the best thing to do might be to format your harddrives. Sure, you'll end up losing everything that you can't back up, but it's your call whether you think it's worth it or not. If it's a software problem, that should do the trick. If any hardware is damaged... That's not as good.

Just a passing question; am I the only one that always listen to the entire title song every time you start the game? xD It's so damn catchy.Spoiler:
No your not xD I love that song, i dunno why but it's... Awesome!
If you want that song, and more:
\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\Sounds\Soundtrack\OpeningMenu.mp3
If you like it as well, you should buy (or download) the album "Calling All Dawns" by Christopher Tin, the one who made it for CivIV. The album got the title song, called 'Baba Yetu' (though it's not entirely the same version) and also other pieces that are similar, it's very good and... dunno how else to describe it than 'spiritually stimulating' =)
Like advanced make-up if it looks good, but just simple foundation and black eyeliner is also pretty. Though people who uses a foundation that doesn't go well with their skin tone... god, can't they see for themselves that it looks ugly?

Sucks that I do not have the mouse or keyboard nor the screen to keep up with this shit, but that will come in time (like, when I get my next pay =D) This is also made so that I can CrossFire, and also buy more memory later when my money allows it.
Quite the upgrade from the old piece of shit I'm sitting at now.
Basic specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+
Memory: 512MB RAM
Hard Drive: 127GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
Then ofc there is the good computer that I share with my brother and also my parents computer, which might not be excellent, but at least it is a hundred times better than the one I use now... Well, to much of a pain to check those specs.
Oh yesh, we Will have fun =)

Sweden is pretty awesome as a whole, except now it's cold and snowy, which means I'm freezing my balls off. Who the hell decided that the North should be cold? Dx
Well, as I said, it's usually a decent place to live in, though I do not understand why anyone would go here as a tourist, not much to see or do compared to many other countries =/

I want kids, but I'll be a horrible parents, and will force them into becoming my definition of awesome. It'll be hard and spartan training, but one day, they'll thank me (prob not)!
The existence of God is subjective and depends entirely on the peoples belief. If a majority of people believe so, even a pile of shit could be a God, or at least it would be to them. Since Christians believed Jesus was the son of God, he was. since the Egyptians believed the Pharaoh's were gods, they were.
This do not turn them to a supernatural, bearded guy who lives in the clouds with the power over heaven and earth, but it undoubtedly gives them the status of gods.
No, I do not believe that God, JHVE or Allah, or w/e you choose to call him exist, but for the people that purely and doubtlessly believe in him now, and for those who has done so these last 2500 years or so, he does/did indeed exist.

As I said, it is a complicated game, hard to get into, but when you start to get the hang of things... Oh, if I'd cum cause of plain epicness, I'd cum cause of this game.
Spoiler:
... Are you sure you're thinking of the same game as I am? Not only is it not possible to switch between "fast" and "safe", high-speed jumps are always done in max speed. The closes thing would be switching between speed boosters and shield boosters, but that is much later in the game, if you even get any of those.
The tutorial, from what I remember is quite simple, and it is almost impossible to die, since you face the weakest of the weakest foes, they hardly even do any damage, and you kill them in like 3 shots. Yes, you can die and lose everything in this game, but that is not easy; first, your ship has to blow up. Second, your escape pod (fully capable of escaping combat through lightspeed) must be blown up. And after that, you still have one free clone of your character back at your current base of operations, with more available to buy (though at quite the cost). Most of the tutorial is also not focused on combat, but on the interface and the other aspects of the game, like mining, trading, research and development etc.
Well, I recommend Not skipping Anything in the tutorial, and if you ever get stuck or need help with something there are great resources available, as well as a superior official forum.
I mean, this is a game that is so large and so realistic (except for the fact that it is in space and another galaxy) that you almost can't believe it. You can become anything you want from a pirate, bounty hunter, miner, trader, political leader, soldier, business tycoon, scientist, shipbuilder, weapon developer... You name it, the possibilities are endless, and you're not stuck on one permanent "class", you can build your character however you want, and Do whatever you want (something that can be quite confusing if you do not read up on the game). This is not like WoW; you do not belong to a small time guild doing dungeon raids (ofc, you can if you want, though you'll be raiding "unexplored areas" and asteroid belts etc), here, if you want, you can belong, or lead, a corporation with the goal of ruling the galaxy (yes, In-Game there are players that rule the game with their followers, which are other players, and the political struggle... Nah, you haven't seen nothin' yet in a MMO if you haven't played EVE Online.
omg tl;dr warning on this one.
EDIT: w8, maybe you're talking about the navigation with the map system? Not that I think you'll be going anywhere near low level security zones on that level, since they are faaaar from where the game begin, but I guess that would be the only part of the tutorial where they bring that up... But low area zones are reached by jumpgates? -_- I can not see how you failed to get where you were supposed to.

Ehhh ive never played a star wars online game.....hmm ill try it for curiosity sake. Any other good mmos that uses swords?Have you tried Runescape?
It's a pretty good game. Been around for like 8-10 years, so it's expanded a lot, with lots of things to do and millions of players. You can do free to play, or pay to play. I recomend f2p first because theres already alot of stuff (quests, skills, moneymaking, etc) there to occupy yourself with. After you're bored with that, change to p2p.
The game has it all: quests, swords, bows, magic, cannons, dwarvs, elves, monsters, all that medieval stuff.
^do not listen to this guy, or you'll regret the time you'll spend on that crappy for the rest of your life.

I just wanted to let you guys know the current stand on how I feel being here in Aus. And also the let you guys know how fortunate some of you are out there especially those who's government has already got a monopoly on internet. If the citizens think its stupid and we all know it sucks then why do we still have it besides reasons with money involved?That is something that differs Very much from country to country I would say. If the government took over the Internet here, the prize would go up tenfold, not to mention the extra taxes and shit like that they would add. Internet here is pretty cheap and it's fast, and Not owned by the government but instead run by privately owned companies that compete with each other and brings down the prize. As I think it is in most capitalistic and democratic countries, for good and bad.

2) it might just maybe have something to do with the amount of under 18 people who enjoy hentai.>_> I lost my virginity before I turned 18, so that's no reason.
Saying that All people that enjoy hentai are virgins are ofc ridiculous, but fact remains that it seems like a majority are. Then there is ofc a number of people that haven't stated that they're virgins, maybe more virgins talk about it because they're bothered about it, or maybe most non-virgins feel no need to say that they are, since people might take it as bragging.

Africa says : HEY WE'VE BEEN IN SHIT FOR FUCKING YEARS! WHY HAITI GETTING AHEAD?It is possible to donate money to different countries in Africa (and almost any other country in the world that is in deep shit) if you care enough to bother looking it up.
Haiti is getting 'ahead' because Mother Earth decided to turn it into dust a few days ago.
