Level 45!
Shit, I might even get around to getting the last b/p level after a million years of not working on it. Getting a life does that. But hell, I can do that during the holiday season...!

Tom, on multiple occasions, has received offers to become an instant multi-millionaire in exchange for this site. He declined and continues to help grow artists through its services.
And you say he sold out. Lol. Move along, fuckhead.

Norton is an awful product. Sometimes it won't even let you uninstall it from your computer without a Norton user account and internet connection.
I've seen people whose computers were running extremely slow with an internet connection that kept on crapping out -- only to have all of those problems disappear entirely when removing Norton.

YOU'RE EVIL! EVIL!!
You're just mad that we completely trashed your notion that the mute button was useless. I guess you're just not good enough to use it right...

I don't get it, when does the mute come into play?
You're obviously going to have to talk to the dude at some point so any background noise that you'd try to hide by muting your voice would just show through the second you talk.
Unless you plan on calling/answering people without talking.
For starters, you'll most likely be wearing a headset. Every cough, sneeze, sniffle, etc. is going to have a mic right in front of your face regardless of what direction you're turning your head. Unless you want to rip out an enormous snort in to the phone or make it sound like there's a hurricane whenever you cough, it's nice to tap the mute button and pretend it never happened.
Also, many call center phones don't wait for you to "answer" the call. You can be in the middle of a conversation and, with very little warning, you'll be in a call. If you have the mute button hit ahead of time, you won't mistakenly start out with a customer by telling them how stupid the last person was or how badly you need to take a piss.
Then there's the co-workers, who either are being really loud, or have to tell you about the conversation they just had with Joe Blow who fired a rifle at his cable box because he thought the red light on it was a camera. It's almost always stuff you don't want the other person hearing. It's also therapeutic sometimes to hit the mute button so you can still mumble curses to yourself while sounding as polite as possible.
It's not always bad stuff, though. Sometimes you just have to ask someone nearby a question while you've got the customer on the line. Sometimes it helps when you're eating something crunchy, so you can crunch a few times without loudly announcing your activities to the person on the line, or when you need to have a drink of water or what not.
I could think of a few more things. For real. That covers most of it, though.

NOW WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT TO MUTE ANYTHING ON A FUCKING PHONE WHILE I'M TALKING IN IT? WHAT THE FUCK???
You have never, ever worked in a call center.

He's doing the real thing, not that fake shit.
Anyway, if you have the proper drivers for your 5.1 audio device installed, you should be be able to change the volume for the rear/back speakers. At least if yours are any decent.
Here's where I would set it for mine
Wow, it's not a hologram you weirdos. It was just a realtime green/blue screen.
Clue alert: This has already been done for decades.
So in other words you actually have $0, and are suckered in to thinking you're close to winning a prize, so you want to buy more. You know that's the whole point, right? The winning game pieces are unlikely to even be in your state...

I'll be buying it on the basis of the OS, as much as anything else. And... I've had many PCs for as long as I can remember, including two laptops, both of which have had components fail.
So, whilst they might be more expensive, I'll take a chance and see if they suffer the same fate.
I figured most of that. Honestly. I just wanted to take another public dump on Apple computers. They're not bad machines, really. They're just significantly less stable in my experience. Maybe you'll get lucky and have one that doesn't crash completely when you select Go->Connect to server or use a tablet with Photoshop. I'm like 0 for 7.
Beyond the OS, it's all the same junk. Marked up for that special added perception of value! Two cents of mine -- you have them. Bleh.
Windows might come with some annoyances (this is among the worst of them), but there is almost always an option that lets you tweak it to be more to your liking. The average computer user would probably never install any updates if it wasn't done automatically. You're not the average computer user! Tweak some options!
If you haven't changed it already, see the picture below. You can get there through the Control Panel -> Automatic updates. I switched to this option years ago and have never had any problems like this since.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Wait, really? I hope you're going to buy the cheapest one they've got. When they charge you two to three times on a per-component basis than you'd get building a machine yourself, then that's just stupid. It's fucking retarded when the money put towards a $3600 Mac Pro could build THREE "PC" machines that outperform it, monitor and everything included.
Stuff like RAM they charge up to four or five times as much compared to something identical or superior. Go figure.
Sometimes I'm amazed that people buy their products.
There's a person I know who has literally spent tens of thousands of dollars on Apple products. I gave him the run-down on their prices and by the time I was through, he said "I'm not going to buy another Apple computer again".
Also got him to not renew his subscription to the Apple mail service.
Apple computers are real crapshoots.
No picture galleries.
Also, call me Captain Obvious, but if you post a topic titled "Post any picture you want", it would probably yield the same result. It's not like half of everyone really cares if it's the first picture or not.
Wow. Banning for language? I should ban you because you clearly don't know the rules, you twat clod...

This test is pretty flaky. You got a ton of short words there. On a couple tests I typed more characters per minute than that, but got a smaller words per minute score.
Anyway, here's the best of my runs =)
How many of these threads are you going to make? This is your third in less than a day. Just keep it to one of your other threads or something. You're not giving us much to discuss here.

You: "Porsche"
Of course, in this case, the Porsche would actually be a better car, whereas an AlienWare computer is the same old shit with an enormous price hike. Build the computer yourself. The experience you get from it is valuable, and the deal you can create for yourself is absolutely unrivaled by any other options (Unless it's a laptop).
Yes, you're right. It's old.
I've seen a good handful of people visiting NG at my university. Of course, it helps to be in areas that are rife with studies in things like digital art and computer science.
But all of that is nothing, because I once saw somebody browsing the BBS of all things...
No, I don't go up to talk to anybody or anything.

Okay. So you made a topic solely to post an image with zero supporting context. And we're supposed to discuss what?
No sig theads (You got enough feedback anyway.)
Pox, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while, but your artistic skill and overall sense of design is thoroughly underwhelming. I can appreciate your rabidly prolific willingness to try and fail, but you are really lacking in some fundamental components of art (talent) and are in dire need of instruction. Follow my example here and don't be afraid to ask me anything. There are no such things as stupid questions here.
