A tag could be added to show sexual acts that start out reluctantly, but the girl ends up ready & willing anyway... Now what to call this? Forced Love? Reluctant Partner?

Tengas are awesome, don't diss it until you've tried it.

Obligatory Nerf Now satires:

I believe the need to "correct" people or "enlighten" them, comes from a deep seated reason within most of us to maintain control. Recently I've started to care less and less...

...and this article resonated deeply with my sentiment:
The Compulsion to Control: Book excerpt from Losing Control, Finding Serenity

Fuck. I can't believe people can be this dense (or this enamored with their sense of entitlement).

Just check out my sig - and the compiled list of translators here - and you should find 90% of everything you could think of.

If that doesn't help you, then don't be a retard, go and use Google like a normal person would.

Obligatory reference:

+1, good advice

My bet is on the backlight, or you could have a faulty contact somewhere (backlight power or TFT panel data cable). Can't say for certain though.

Updating drivers is worth a try anyway as it's good to have them up to date.

If that doesn't help contact a specialist as you don't want mucking around a laptop unless you know what you're doing. (I'm a sysop and I *don't*).

Dear Tegumi, what's to stop someone from plugging two input slots of a KVM into the same machine, but different video-cards? Nothing. You plug your monitor into the appropriate slot and your video-cards into the input slots where normally the the VGA cable from different machines would go.

Also your quoted forum entry prooves nothing. It's a well known and documented fact, that games using early versions of DirectX suffer from compatibility problems that stem from the driver (or hardware) of the video-card used, NOT the OS.

You could drop by Hard Light Productions and ask some of the coders their experience regarding this. They develop & maintain the Freespace SCP (AKA Freespace Open) engine. The original was written in 1999 and used DirectX 6. We've often had situations where upgrades to video-card drivers broke compatibility with specific functions of the engine.

I can also attest that for instance I had trouble with Planespace Torment - it would have trouble rendering its 2D effects - with specific combinations of video-cards & drivers.

This are the immediate instances that come to my mind.

Forum post without any citations or proof don't prove anything... especially when the closest one came to providing evidence was listing several games that ran on *DOS* or engines that didn't use DirectX (the Build engine by Ken Silverman, the DOOM engine by ID Software).

So I'll still adamantly stand by my opinion (it's not fact, since I can't prove it as I'm not familiar enough with DirectX programming) that video-card drivers *do* matter for games using earlier version of DirectX. My opinion at least is based on personal experience rather than an educated guess that believes that having an API guarantees compatibility.

PS.: A non DirectX example - Strike Force Centaury would have problems depending on the VESA implementation of your video-card. Nowadays this is very much a legacy interface and cards usually only comply with minimum requirements. When you had a specific video-card, you could play (without emulation). When you had another you couldn't. Once again, this issue is independent of OS.

maddog53 - Your advice may be worth following as integrated cards may cause such problems. In that case znxbcv2121 would be better off installing an old (simple 66 Mhz) PCI video-card.

Some more examples of incompatibility of old games with new video-cards & drivers:

Actually, no. Having two, three or *more* videocards in a single machine shouldn't be a problem.

If you've worked in an environment where you had to output video to multiple devices (typically how the machine used by the teachers for presentation is setup at my university) you'd know this.

Yes it *can* cause problems, but *normally* it *shouldn't*.

As sciwhiz wrote, just plug your monitor into whichever device you want to run the program on and it should work. This is also the reason why in many newer games you can select which "video device" the program should run on.

If you need to do this frequently you could also get a KVM Switch, that allows "plugging" the monitor into different slots on the fly, just by flipping a switch.

I'm not really familiar with this though, so you might need to install additional software to force applications to use a specific device, but AFAIK this can be done and sciwhiz wrote that Win 7 already has support for this.

PS.: The (very valid) reason znxbcv2121 is trying to do this has to do with the laziness of ATI/NVidia. Their newer drivers often break compatibility with older games and whether a new release would fix that is often hit & miss. This has to do with the fact that DirectX 3-6 weren't all that "standard", so things could change quite a bit from version to version. (This is a major pain in the ass for driver developers and is the reason why they sometimes "break" things).

Another alternative to try is to go back to older drivers, but with newer video cards it can't be done as their driver were "broken" (for DX 3-6 compatibility) from the get go.

Using an older video card with and older driver can fix these issues.

In fact you might even consider using a (non express) PCI video-card for legacy gaming.

tl;dr Actually I did read what was written.
Long story short: If you want to have something translated then commission a translator. Sahadou, Yoroshii and many more who don't come to mind at the drop of a hat are willing to take on commissions.

What's a commission? You *pay* someone to do work for you. That's it.
Now unless you do that, translators can do whatever they want, and that's how it is, since they do it for free and in their free time.

Try harder, your trolling needs a lot of improvement before it'll cause people to properly rage.

The archive could be multi-part. In that case you won't be able to extract it until you have all parts and all of them are intact.

Broken promises:

*Close down Guantanamo
*Restore Habeas Corpus
*Say no to renditions
*Say no to warrant-less wiretaps
*Break the fervor of fear that has been exploited by the Bush administration
(Airport security theater? Danger levels from red to violet?)

So what the hell has happened?

No one was taling about shutting down the *base* in G.B. Only the *prison*...
which is very much called for, as all it ever was was legal shenanigans to allow illegal imprisonment of people by the USA without the USA violating its own laws.

G.B Prison has to go, as it's a blatant violation of international law.

It's a violation of the UN Convention Against Torture... of which the USA is a signatory state.

Once again: torture as a form of information gathering does NOT work. Get it into your thick skulls. The only thing it's good for is to break people's will and make them "admit" their crimes in a show trial.

It's also a farce over everything that justice should be:
-Fair Trial
-Habeas Corpus
-Protection of Innocence

Why haven't Gitmo detainees put on trial? Because Uncle Sam really fucked up, and often times they have *nothing* on these guys! Just some informant claiming that they're Al-Q. That's *all*.

...and these poor bastards have been there for *years*. No lawyer, no appeal, no chance to do anything about their status.

When a civilization sinks so low, even the extreme tactics of terrorism are beginning to be justified, as what the terrorist do - kill and main innocents - is no different from a legal and moral standpoint to what the USA is doing in Gitmo right now.

Come on! We should accept on their *claims* alone with *no over-sight* that *all* these guys are dangerous terrorists? Then why haven't been they tried? Huh?

PS.: Obama is a soaping, wet pussy. The black prince of compromise and him being black is his *only* good point at this point. He's done *nothing* to curtail the excesses of his predecessor, carried over a lot of the insane policies then put into practice and did nothing to bring the criminals of the previous administration to justice. In fact he's been co-opted into the the racket himself.

Goldman Sachs? Lehman Brothers? Hello! Am I the only one who watched Inside Job, who read Matt Tabithi, who *knows* how much Wall Street has ripped us all off... and got away scoot free?

Waaaaay to assume that no one ever lived in a religious community or used to be an Amish. Your tolerance and non-judgmental ways don't cease to amaze me.

I still know people who have yet to use the Internet et all. Don't be so fast to jump to conclusions.

Excuse me, but what the *fuck* has the size of the government have to do with the idiocies of common law?

If you checked, these are all *state* laws, so they have little to do with big, federal government.

In other words, stop bringing your libertarian agenda into each and every issue.

You have such laws, because unlike continental law, your laws are derived from customs and tradition, *precedence* if you will, instead the other way around as its done in civil (AKA continental) law, where the laws are laid down first (by a Parliament).

Sure some of these laws are long outdated, but since in practice enforcing them is up to the judges a common law system has no massive pressure to modernize or get rid of them.

View --> Toolbars --> Customize?

Go nuts, I almost always re-arrange the GUI to my taste.

Lately I've started to appreciate the changes as I'm moving to a more spartan, minimal interface for browsing. (I try to concentrate as many functions as possible in as little space as possible).
