Here Freedom did you just spend nearly a grand on components? Why didn't you just go with 6950s and overclock them?

I wasn't talking of an unlock but just spending less money. Overclocked 6950s are good for the money.

oh i see,yea your right,the unlocking could be seen as a possible free bonus.
personally i have always had lots of grief whenever i went with the red team for gpu's,not sure if thats changed now?driver issues etc.
it's a real shame as they seem to perform better for the price.

but ati/amd its been every time bar once,and that was a prebuilt jobby so it is probably my fault :laugh:
physx isnt turning out to be a great thing either,though it was good in metro 2033 and batman AA,i hope they maintain that in arkham city and metro last light too

i was indeed! also the gt430 comes with half height bracket,bearing in mind the dell only has a 1.9x2 athlon,and only a single 4pin atx 12v socket on the mobo-the 430 would seem about right,i think the single pin means a tdp limit of 65,which sees upgrade uptions up to a "e" version of the phenom II quad 2.6..plenty for my intended use for his computer.

The XFX HD 5450 apparently comes with a low-pro bracket, has 1GB DDR3 and a quiet fan (which is a big problem on low-pro cards). It's only £30 from aria. It's the one that was recommended to me loads of times when I wanted the cheapest low-pro card.

I was reading up on freemen of the state earlier,fucking awesome!
some bloke gets pulled by a copper,the copper reads him the miranda right thing,and asks him if he understands,
bloke says i dont stand under anything.copper cant nick him
bloke goes free.
copper says he will send a summons
bloke says send what you like i obey the queen not you
bloke goes free
Priceless

Freemen of the land, they make officers swear their oath to the queen so they become peace officers and since most law is statutory they can just say they do not consent lol. They are on oath so they cannot arrest you. Your tied to the state via an legal fiction aka the name on your birth certificate.

However refusal to give name and address can end you up in the slammer as they cannot confirm identity.

Parliament makes laws based on consent of the governed so Freemen just state they do not consent as they do not consent to being a legal entity (birth certificate blah blah).

yea i read the affidavit(sic?) and it was definitely full of legalese/bullshit and long words..
i was impressed that you could actually get away with erm A-legally? not paying taxes etc,lets face it,there is no pension by the time we retire anyway..so other than NHS which i have no problem paying for,the freemen thing makes alot of sense

The freemen issue isnt paying tax its how they can take out loans on future tax and how they use taxes under statutory law which is without consent of the governed.
I mean they always quote that a lot of police are just trying to help us. To them they are just peace officers after all.

Taxation under Common Law is optional not obligatory, in years gone by taxation was enforced through power like in medieval times.

EDIT: I wonder how Freedom is getting on?

You know a woman had her three kids taken off of her, and the next day they brought one of them back and said "We can't take her off you, you never registered it's birth."

Same as a car, once you register it with DVLA, you lose ownership of it. You are the keeper, not actually the owner. Yes it might say "owner" on the log book, but in legalese, owner means:
"one who has legal title or right to something. Contrary to the cynical adage: "Possession is nine-tenths of the law," possession does not necessarily make one a legal owner."

You have the legal title to the car, but you're not the owner. You are the parent of your child, but not the owner (if you registered it at birth).

match.com is always advertised on tv, why do you need that?

Part of the english language A2 OCR is the coursework part. Where you need to do some kind of research with hypothesis etc.
And were doing a practice with a mini investigation and my english teacher picked our topic dating.
We can choose any topic for our actual coursework.

Not totally wrong there but the DVLA no not own every car in the UK, they own the registration number and keep the V5C as a register to see who is the keeper of the car. The finance company or whoever paid for the car owns it but may not be the registered keeper. HELL technically if you ever pay by paper or credit the bank technically owns whatever you paid for since its in someone else money. Paper money says on it promise to pay the bearer... technically its not real money its owed money held by a bank.

LEGALLY you technically can own a car but not be able to drive it.
So no the DVLA never own your car but only keep a register of it.

What having a birth certificate does is means who are the legal parent? not in a sense who actually is the natural parent. I mean you can be born but have no legal parents if you where never registered. They cannot ascertain who is a parent without a birth certificate. Its like even though you know you are the parent how the hell do they know that?

that just baffled me scam,i read up previous posts and i still cant make head nor tail of it,to what doth your witterings pertain?
Dating could be an interesting topic for getting dates too mwahaha
The sociology behind it is bewildering and could be taken in so many directions,
body language and the science behind that
the chemical changes that ensue when beginning the quest for the holy grail/rusty axe wound
the stigma's that may be caused due to mixed cultural heritage dating
the do's and dont's
it could end up being a handbook on scoring/getting rid of stalkers
