cooltek, you just need to shut your mouth about EVERYTHING!

omg, u really know nothing.

Besides the importance of ATI to americans such as myself, and a few import beers, tell me one huge thing the US relies on Canada for?!

Nothing! We wouldn't 'go under' if Canada just dissappeared, seriously.

Their stupid lazy-ass prime-minister (how lame is that? a parliamentary democracy ? pfft. LAME! Thats as bad as England and ther constitutional monarchy! LAME!) wont even do jack to help fight the war on terror (which is half bs, yes, but its half truth and half neccessary!) It's gonna take a terrorist attack as a wake-up call for him to propose any action! Not that I would ever wish for something like that on anyone, but I'm just saying thats what it would take.

Canada helped us beat the English. They brought us ATI (thank GOD!). They brought us hockey (sports are lame) and better beer! They even brought us Canadian Bacon for our breakfast sandwhiches!

But now they're useless to us. They wouldn't be so bad I guess, if it wasn't for that damned Quebec.

Come ON! You'd miss Celine Dion :tongue: , maple syrup/sirup/syrop, Santa Clause, beer (you already mentioned), Canadian Rye/Canada Club, Montreal Women (or men in your case, not sure! :tongue: ), GOOD Doughnuts, Shania Twain, a cheap place to vacation, Canada Dry, and Comedy (just think of all the beaver jokes alone!)!

Also without us as an anchor you'd drift more towards Mexico, and who really wants that? Not the Mexicans that's for sure! :tongue:

ummmm, I don't think I'm known for stupid posts, although I've had some.

YOU are universally known as a really annoying flammer who enjoys scaring away any newbies to these forum. I don't hate you though, and I bet you know a lot about many issues, you just express yourself, errr.... differently.

Anyway....

To sum it up, we trade 1.3 billion dollars A DAY with Canada. Losing Canada would be losing our no.1 trading partner.

OOOOH Burned!

I know we're big trade partners, but anything that we 'rely' on Canada for, could come from other sources if trading stopped.

And you are now universally known as a JACKASS (don't insult me you addict loser!), and I look forward to kicking your ass in a first person shooter.

Grape: Celine Dion!? Shania Twain!? YUCK! Maple syrup? I don't like pancakes.

Here in the southwest we have a donut place called Krispy Kreme. It ownz.

Montreal women? Well, sounds better than Quebec women (ANY french women!) but theres plenty of girls no matter where you go.

I WOULD miss Canada Dry, however, Canada is just in the name! Its produced here!

And I can find you a Santa Clause in any mall in America in the month of December, so...

Dude Celine was a joke, hence the tongue, the others followed after that.

And I'm glad you finally discovered doughnuts down there, but Tim Hortons RULZ Krispy Krud by a WIDE margin. Seriously there is nothing equivalent in the U.S., well except Tim Hortons (usualy in N.E.) where you can get 'toast' (which is only sold at Tim's in Qeuebec [along with baked beans]). BTW it was co-founded by and ex-hockey player who later died in a car accident. It's a legendary company up here (and in the realm of doughnutz), and it's also owned by Wendy's.

As for the rest, the whole thing was pretty much tongue in check, but anywhooo.

Now Maple Syrup ON Shania Twain, while eating a doughnut. MMMmmm Canadian Wet Dream! Forbidden Doughnut! Aaaaaahhh gurgle gurgle!

"and I look forward to kicking your ass in a first person shooter." lol---reminds me of Milhouse from The simpsons saying: "Come over here and I'll kick your butt....in Nintendo."

I disagree on a lot of sh!t you say, but I guess we can both find common ground on Krispy Kreme. Ohhhh, they are so good. Get caught with some around here and you better share them or you get beaten down.

GreatApe, you're off your rocker, Tim Horton donuts are always a week old and ran by pizza-faced, greasy handed guys who likely put in their own cream filling for the Tim Horton pastries.

Cooltek, you're just falling for the NYSE hype! :tongue:

And where do you think Krispy 'Cream' got it's name. They aren't warm because they've been in the deep fryer; unless by 'DEEP fryer' you mean MY Dockers! 😱

20 Timbits and a Large Double-Double! Oh and here's a few pieces of silver for them Kids to go to camp!

True I do, but I do try to make them mean what they are supposed to be replacing. I used to use them alot before when they were just ASCII, so ;~P

I'm just used to it. IF you look hard I try and make it contextual so I'm usually trying to convey something with them.

And that quote was me poking fun at myself after noticing SO many of them in my recent posts. What can I say, I've always been adicted (it conveys tone) and don't get me started with the TTY phrases (that's what the GA to SK means in my post, just surprised I never got a comment about that [perhaps it's due to my Nick being G.A.], but always about gun/free speech rights in my sig.) Oh you may also notice (but then again maybe not [who knows for sure {not me, only you}]) that I use alot of parentheses. :tongue:

I think it's the only way to try and be clear, although when it's this HOT OUT :evil: my brain bakes and maybe I appear Loco 😱

Anywhoo, no problemo! It's Cool! 😎

Hey Will, I have an idea. You and me, let's invade Canada and take it over. Anyone else want to help? Oooh, Squirt, will you be our man inside? Cool. Then, when the three of us take it over, America will back us up and help us rule it. Hell, we might as well take over the whole world while we're at it. We'll change the name of every country to America and then we'll rid the world of AntiAmerican hatred... (Actually, we'd make it 20,000,000,000,000 times worse :smile: )

You'll have to excise me, I've had too many Dove Bars. Hey are those Canadian too?

I'm totally for gun ownership rights too. Guns are 1337.
Some sh*tty polititians in some places are trying to ruin it for all of us because of a few jackasses that kill people and commit crimes. But the stupidest part is that making guns illegal or making it harder to get them, is that it only makes it harder/impossible for the HONEST people to get them! The criminals will then just get them illegally!

When they come to my door to take my guns away, ill be ready with my 12 guage:)

I AM PART OF A MILITIA BITCH! I AM THE_OC_KING, ONE MAN ARMY!

DROP THE DOVE BAR NOW!!!! ROFL

ATi's cards are great. Their graphics drivers work and there aren't any major issues with them.
ATi has some issues with their drivers on the TV tuner side. There are bugs that would make my AIW8500DV not work at all under WinXP if I had the newest drivers. You would have to use some work arounds. If you get everything set up its a great piece of hardware.

BTW: Isn't the FX5900 faster than the 9800Pro?
 
"BTW: Isn't the FX5900 faster than the 9800Pro?"

It supposeably yes, nut no one knows for sure anymore -_-" except fanATics cause they think all ATi cards pwns nVidia card ( i know this guy from another fourm that thinks an ATi FireGL X1 can waste a GeForce FX 5900Ultra and a Quadro FX 2000 -_-") and of course all Nvidiots think nVidia pwns ATi ( i have friends who thinks the Ti4200 can waste a 9700pro -_-") and there is also the Matrox fanboys who think Matrox owns all, *cough* Grape *cough* (i didn't say anything :rollseye)

They are about even, if you had to chose based off of FPS I'd say the 5900 ultra, yes. but really it goes back and forth quite a bit in benchmarks and I think the largest difference besides the Doom3 benches is like 15fps.. personally nothing worth bragging about nor worrying about.

CoolS, It's called QUALITY My friend! :wink:

IQ over FPS, but unfortunately I need at least SOME fps or elese it's no longer a game, it's simply a 'screenshot'!

GEEZ, Don't kick a man when he's down!
I'm waiting for the Matrox ULTRA NOVA SOLAR FLARE MEGA PULSAR PRO Extra! It's gonna rock. With 96XAA at 6 FPS! Suckers with your 4XAA and 100FPS. Losers! 96x9fps = 576 v. your measily 400. Hah Matrox will rulz again! 😱

[Mate-ROX promotional system ON)
Matrox cards ROCK in every way, and they are the BEST cards money can buy and I'd recommend them to EVERYONE, and anyone who disagrees obviously doesn't know what they are talking about.
[Mate-ROX system OFF]

So allow me to repeat to be sure we are clear on this.

Matrox cards ROCK in every (2d application) way (ahead of the rest IMO), and they are the BEST cards money can buy (in 2D) and I'd recommend them to EVERYONE (for 2D), and anyone anyone who (wants to play current and future 3D games should buy another card, but if you) disagree(with the statement 'I use my computer to play game')s ( and your primary uses will be 2D, photoshop and some multi-monitor work, then you should strongly consider a Matrox card which) obviously (has a great history and current product line for this task specific market, but if you're someone who) doesn't know what (you need, then ask other people in your field or area of interest [gaming] and find out what) they are talking about (when they recommend graphics cards).

This post has been sponsored by the National Institue for the Blind's UT2K3 team, all of whom use the Matrox Parhelia as their gaming card of choice! "Are we winning yet?!?" :evil:

That's the funniest thing I've ever read. Ever. Especially because I just ate yet ANOTHER Dove Bar.

OOOOOHHHH I KNOW!!! DOVE SHOULD START MAKING VIDEO CARDS! THEY WOULD OWN!!!!

[serious]Anybody else thought that WS's tooting of his great ability to rant about political things, was great north crap? Like, Cooltek had tons more credibility in proving something, but WS continued to believe otherwise and pointing out supposed truths. I've learned enough lately in Economy and I do know for once, that Canada and USA are co-dependant no matter what. Roughly 50% or more of Quebec's exports go to USA, as a small stat. You'd have to be a blind idiot to think without Canada, USA will easily scoop off other countries. Then again, vice-versa, thinking that Canada can live better without USA is one huge mistake.[/serious]

On the other side of the fence, Matrox is in Montreal, hence Quebec. Someone who targets and insults Quebec, targets Matrox, which means insulting Grape Ape :evil: ... AHA! I love finding indirect relations, muahahaha!
