1. Please post a picture of your current gaming rig's insides. Some of us have ocd.
2. You sounded interested in my question I've asked eggy on the number of possible images that could be displayed on a resolution of 600x800 using 256 colours. That was easy calculation. Can you calculate the number of images possible on an hd monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 using 24bit colours. I am sure with a little modification you could calculate the above in excel.
3. Explain all the emotions you experienced in the time between your mind saying, "aah q2 is not that difficult, i can do it" to the eventual answer of "WTF Dude!"
4. On a more serious note, tell me about yourself in terms of family, work, age, location etc.



1- Alriiiiight ocd guy:

2- Erm, I think I would see only one image - the one on my screen. lol, of course we're assuming the hd monitor is turned on and being made use of. Call me smartypants LOL. I prefer smarties though, in my pants :P

3- dude I'm feeling confused now coz I think you're talking about quake 2 (q2?). Ammiright?

4- Ohhh getting personal :)
My names Jacques Francois Retief. My main language is English. I live in Durbs with mom, dad, brother and his wife. Age is 29 and right now unemployed in this world that strives for Bigger, Better, More. It is MY responsibility alone with what I do and be and have in my life, and right now I'm just pure lazy to work... I prefer to meditate, sleep, workout and read at home while I tie up the loose ends so that I can 'get going and get working'. This is my main though drive. Ultimately I want to live in Fishhoek in Cape Town, number 39 Peak rd and become a detective to seek out and remove high levels of organized crime.

What the later looks like in its finer detail, begins with me moving to plett. Shit. I just realized. If I ever do that, I wont be active with the clan anymore....

Damn

Col.133t/Razer/Brooklyn...I think Skouperd was refering to q2 as question 2, not Quake 2 bud. I wont lie I dont even understand the question too myself but just wanted to point out what q3 was about.

While we are getting personal though bud, you say you're 29 and live at home with your folks, brother and sister-in-law and you're jobless? Are you qualified in anything, well besides clearing destroying noobs and others in Battlefield? If you're lazy to work, where do you get money?

Anyway, enough personal shit...lets give you a question...ummmm, right movie quote time:

If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster.

Name the actor and character of the quote and what the name of the movie was in the States and then in Europe, while explaining why they had different names across the pond?

Ahh beauty! Thank you for that clarification on q2!

I shall answer it to what it was intended then:

Skouperd, I felt alivened, excited, willing, happy that I was given something new to stimulate my mind with. And then the emotion that spoke: this means nothing. Erm. Ummm. Having difficulty... trying.. to.. express myself. Become.. too.. automated :P


Bigbarbarts, first off, before I get to your q's (quakes? LOL), I really dig your bartman with claws comin' out his hands! hahahah! That shit is whack :) I commend whoever was involved in the creation of that :) Epic!

Right, so, of the many things I am and have been, qualified electrician was one of them. I have/had my own cc and was living quite comfortably off the money I was making through that venture/avenue to suit my needs, which, to be honest, were not that demanding. Consider that I've lived as a monk and I am very humble with few things of life. Yes, I also like Bigger, Better, More at times yet at those times I become a bit lost in the world and I tend to forget myself. It's important for me to remember; and WHAT I'm remembering becomes of dire importance. If remembering to wipe my ass and feed my face and keep clean is the most important thing I'm doing with myself right now, then its time to change - because, like my electrical work that I had been doing since.. hummmmmmm, I was 23/24, I feel quite unfulfilled, while also receiving a certain level of fulfilled feeling from the comforts of body getting what its needed. Yeah. Consider that I am blessed to have my most basic needs provided for (unlike, I would estimate, 60% of the rest of the population of the world) and have a fair number of opportunities to advance further. So it's up to me what to make of my life while holding a balance and getting it all together to work and be happy throughout all of it.

Shap, ne!

Sheesh you put quite a number on me, bro! :P I have no idea what that movie is. Ahhh I shall seek the wise and useful council of... dum dum dum... Google!

Brb

OK! She google says:
...
OH WOW! Robin Tunney is in it! Sheesh, how's that cast? Brendan Fraser. Sean Astin. The chick from Charmed - what a pretty lady! I recognize Pauly Shore from somewhere... I'm getting the movie. I'll answer the first part of your question after I've watched it :)

Encino man and California man! Deeper into [the mouth] Europe of the likes of Austria, Switzerland and Germany, its called Steinzeit Junior.

My most immediate guess is because Europe has a tendancy toward the word 'Encino' because it sounds like its from Mexico. So to make it less confusing and, weirdly enough, simple, they converted it to 'California'. Everyone in Britain knows California, right? *WTF is Encino? Fuck that I'm not watching that!*

I guess that's the kinda attitude that was avoided by changing the name.

Yeah what do you think? Why is the name different? And what implications did it create?

Nice research work on the movie, your answers were spot on although you don't say who the quote was by, so I'll put out of your misery, it was Stoney (character) and he was played by Pauly Shore. I know it as California Man while my kids love it as "Daddy, please can we watch the cave man movie.." Anyway, its a childhood favourite of mine, just like License to Drive was with a beautiful young Heather Graham, playing a hot blonde called Mercedes and cast with the Corey's (Haim & Feldman).

Anyway, I digress once again as I do with movies. You were spot on with your guess...no-one in Europe knows Encino is a suburb in LA which is as you know in Cali, hence California Man, nice work.

The only reason I asked about the personal stuff, graft and money was because you say initially its "MY responsibility" so I was eager to see how you were providing a roof, food, water, clothes and I guess fuel not to mention internet services without a job cos lets be honest, nothing for nothing in this world?

So are we going to see you on Mumble and getting involved in a few games with us over the next couple of weeks? This is not to test your skills I can imagine as it would seem you have a reputation amongst the troops here already, but more to get to know you and chat and laugh, swear and tell dirty jokes about Irish_Luck's Mom?

Once again, nice work on the answers...chat soon.

This is actually a very serious question for me - it's like asking who do I want to be in the world. I will go with Col.133t. I feel like I'm part of an elite soul group that will bring forth light and truth into this world :P And since I was a kid I've always liked the rank Col. I have a different idea about it than being some high ranking officer of an army. Anyway save that for later :)

Thanks for the mumble "private message" hahahaha. I got to talk with dryman and omnomnomnomnomnomnom

2. Agile or Waterfall, and why?


Yes, I do :)
Aiii bru. One country wants one thing and the other country wants another. From what I've quickly gathered, India want less games: 5 down from 12. There's only so much cricket I can watch before I start droning out and dribbling from the mouth :P

I say come to a middle ground where both can agree on - play 8 or 9 games, or find another country to commandeer excellent sportsmanship with! Windies, NZ, England! Auzie. If India will accept ONLY 5, then we can find someone else to play. Not sure if whoever is in charge of this is wanting to see our country represent in awesome games of cricket or trying to see how much wealth they can accumulate. Maybe both ?

What do you say?

Just too many idiots around who cant come to some mutual agreement? lol. It reminds me of labour strikes and companies only offering 6.5% increase when they have little risk in exploiting impoverished labour forces to do their dirty work, so they can turn their golden taps in the morning and clean their ass with money notes. Well, not really but you know what I mean... I hope :D

For me it's all about equal opportunity. Have the CSA asked what the PLAYERS want? Since they're the ones swinging bat and ball...

2 - Waterfall looks reliable and solid, kind of like the guarantee or expectation orrrrr, hummmm, comfort in the reliability that the Earth will revolve around the Sun. Or that the galaxy is turning. Its happening now, its been happening for billionssssss of years. Waterfall has its advantages, but how creatively spontaneous is it?

Agile... Hmmm. If it had a solid, core, unifying principle - across the board, I would go for Agile. But for the moment it seems like its a way of headless chickens trying to peck at seeds on the ground to feed themselves. lol.

My limited knowledge :wank:

This is a kak answer to say the least. The very minimum you could have done is at least give it some thought.

The correct answer to calculate the number of images possible to display on a HD monitor, using 24 bit colour, and a resolution of 1920x1080 is as follows:

The number is 14,981,180 digits long
It starts with: 15,004,169,226....
And ends with: ....507,590,876,198,799

The number has the following digits in it:
The number 0 appears: 1,499,031
The number 1 appears: 1,498,537
The number 2 appears: 1,496,000
The number 3 appears: 1,499,286
The number 4 appears: 1,497,565
The number 5 appears: 1,499,102
The number 6 appears: 1,499,263
The number 7 appears: 1,497,776
The number 8 appears: 1,497,383
The number 9 appears: 1,497,237

and that's how you answer a math question.

Since you've obviously did not put any effort into my questions, I'll ask you something else which I think may be more up your ally. You mentioned that you don't have a work, and then explained in detail various reasons for it. My brother in law is very similar in that he is also a very smart guy, but just have this "no-care" attitude and given his lack of moral values, have no problem whatsoever to become a parasite and feast on his parents and the rest of his family. Since it is family, it is very difficult to turn your back on him.

My experiance with GRRR is that is it very much a family. If somebody have a problem, no matter what kind of problem, the rest of the clan will do their best to assist that family member no matter what inconvenience it means to them personally. I have seen the clan replacing people's computers, and seen people being comforted during emotional troubled times. My concern that I have is not so much that you don't have a job, but that you are contend with the situation and from what I've seen, makes very little attempt to enhance the situation. This to me is an indication of how seriously you take your responsibilities within your family, GRRR is a family.

So, before I cast my vote, please elaborate what in your mind you be able to contribute to this really awesome family called GRRR.


Ps, I am not picking on you just because you don't have a job, make no mistake, I fully understand the difficulty of somebody in your age bracket securing a job especially if that person cannot demonstrate an unbroken employment track record.
