 Re: The Lounge
My laptop's sound keeps cutting out at random times. Can you nerds help me out? It gets fixed when I reboot but it's really inconvenient.

Also, if you're referring to the CCXR Trevita, the $4,850,000 USD model, the main reason for the cost is uh... the paint job. It's coated in diamond dust. I'm not even ♥♥♥♥ joking. It's a diamond-coated supercar with a 4.7 litre twin-supercharged V8 engine that goes from 0 to 62 in 2.9 seconds and has 1064bhp. That may be ridiculously over-the-top, but its still awesome, and in bright sunlight, it looks incredibly sexy. Keep in mind that the exorbitant cost is why only 3 are being made- it's more or less a car made for the superrich car fanatics who have millions of dollars to blow on shiny beauties like the Trevita.  <3 EDIT: Yes, Grif, the Veyron's speed and performance is incredibly alluring, but I'm just horribly put off by the design for some reason. If I could pick between a Veyron and a Trevita, I'd get the latter. I might lose in a race to a Veyron, but I'd look awesome doing it Also looked up that Dagger GT... looks amazing, and not even very costly when taking its power into account, but I'd like to see the thing in action. Right now, it's all just talk and likely a lot of it is hype.

 Re: The Lounge
I have a serious issue guys. It's laughable, but I can't decide whether I like chunky or smooth peanut butter better.

 Re: The Lounge
It's a situational call. In my experience, chunky is frequently preferable, but there are times you want the taste without quite the same consistency.
Also, I'm not saying other supercars aren't, in themselves, feats of utter ♥♥♥♥ mad genius. But how many of them can fit five people? (Basically none.)
My personal favorite 'supercar' is probably the Pagani Zonda, just because it's ♥♥♥♥ ludicrous and it set an insane Nurgburgring time.
Also, the Ariel Atom, because even if it doesn't have the top speed, it can still corner better than any multi-million dollar supercar and it gets off the line even faster. And it's way cheaper.

The surge of power when you turn it on could be keeping it in line for a little while, but it falls out of line later. A couple years. It can play new games like Shogun 2 and Starcraft. I think it can technically run Crysis on decent settings but I think it would fry if it tried that. Also I have another problem, on my other computer which got raped by a virus, Firefox refuses to show any of the addons I've installed. It says they're enabled but I can't access them.

 Re: The Lounge
I find that crunchy peanut butter has the better taste, due to the concentrated nuttiness of the chunks, but this is offset by the difficulty of the spreading (on toast, at least) due to the fact that it sticks together more than smooth peanut butter, and can destroy the slice.
Smooth, on the other hand, is comparatively easy to spread, especially when cold, but more difficult to spread at greater thickness. Also, the taste is uniform, so that you are not left with one dissatisfying end of toast, where there is a lesser amount of chunks, as you get in crunchy.

 Re: The Lounge
Does it really have to come to reinstalling windows?
Also I like the Lotus Elise and crunchy peanut butter (but not in the same place).

It's the easiest and less time consuming way. And the only one that will surely work.

 Re: The Lounge
I like creamy peanut butter better. I like the smooth conistency, and the easy spread. I also don't like really crunchy food nor do I like peanuts in non butter form.
