Cmdr Nova Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Donate Your Spare Cycles and Such..... Help humanity!Play your part, and help move cancer research along! Go to United Devices, and take a look around.It's a distributed computing program, much like SETI@home. They operate several projects, like the Intel-United Devices Cancer Research Project. This is the largest "virtual supercomputer" in the world, and you can be part of it, too and help cure cancer, improve genetic research, and whatnot.You can download the UD Agent here. (Download the Windows 2000 version, if you use WinXP.)Also, if you're interested in joining, check the team I've set up for our little Battlecruiser Community. View it here. Yeah, I've sorta been inspired to do something that helps people, since the earlier events of this year. Since I can't really do anything else to help, this is my way of helping out humanity. I suggest you guys join along. (Especially you folks that have multiple systems and/or systems that are hooked up to the internet that you don't use for gaming.)A nice little new years resolution for me to run this thing, when I'm not playing BCM or other games or resource-intensive stuff. Hope this speech didn't sound to propaganda-ish. I'll get off my soapbox now. (But join my team, please. )[ 12-30-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendi Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Just one and thats the hardest one for me....to quit smoking. I've tried nicotine patches, hypnotism (which by the way convinced me that 50 quid a session is worth it and Elvis is still alive) and all manner of gimmicks. I've managed to quit a few months at a time with a year being my all time best record.This time though I want to quit for good. Therefore, I shall quit tommorrow...

Blades Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Good luck Fendi, and all you other nicotine bandits that are gonna try and quit. Me? I'll make a token effort I spose. Im no good at giving up things that are bad for me. I've got too many vices, and every time I try to give one up some sort of disaster occures that stresses me to the point where I think "Ok, just one smoke/evening out with the lads/trip down to PC World and I'll be good for the rest of my life ..."Im weak. Really weak. Im not gonna kid myself. I want to stop, but I lack the willpower to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rtoolooze Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hmmmm.... I think I'll quit using this AMD 1.2 Thunderbird, and Geforce 2 GTS, and start using a Athon XP 1900+ with GeForce 3 Ti 500. Yea, I think thats my resolution.(Atually, I have the new board, and the DDR2700 Ram already. I'm just waiting for the cpu and vid card to get here. WooooooHooooo! I know, the machine I use now does a good job. Its just that I have this disease called "Serious Gamer"! I simply must have the best. So, by the end of this week, my sig profile will change, muahahahahah!!!!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
