How can you hate maths? You'd have to be what is usually called "a fucking retard" to do so...

On the other hand, I can't stand that DS game.

Comon, I know I'm not the only person that can't stand math. Sure I can do complex equations but most math is just tedious...

Any form of mental exercise is good for keeping your mind limber, whether it be doing sudoku, the Cryptic Crossword or playing the DS brain game. Sitting in front of a TV when you're retired is a sure fire way to loose the plot sooner rather than later.

What is DS?

Lol about the maths game of this Dr.

You get gold if you can do 100 calculations in 60 seconds. Dunno from what planet he comes, but this means no human can ever get gold. This is so ridiculous fast.

I tested just writing the numbers 1-100 on paper, took me 106 seconds. Then I tested just striping of the 100 numbers with s single stripe, took me 40 seconds. Then I measured placing an X next to every number, took me 61 seconds.

No way it is possible to ever read, calculate and answer 100 of these questions in one minute.

Fine...that supposedly helps cover Alzheimer's. Now all we need is something to help annoying retards who actually use the word "math" with an "s" when in the plural.

quincy0191 Fuck You, Norton Antivirus
I’ve been having problems with Norton Antivirus for the past few weeks, mainly relating to an issue with the ccSvcHst.exe file, which has a tendency to eat one’s entire CPU on occasion, and for little reason. The LiveUpdate feature has some influence here; if it’s not run for an extended period, and when it is run and for a short time after, it causes ccSvcHst.exe to take up 80-100% of the processor’s capacity. This is a well-documented issue online, as a quick Goog...

nodnarb232001 Bioshock 2- A First Look
Bioshock was one of the most awesome games on the Xbox 360/PC/PS3 (I'll be focusing on the 360 version). Set in a dystopian underwater city created and ruled by uber-zealous free market capitalist magnate Andrew Ryan the citizens of Rapture took a liking to the gene modification craze known as Splicing. Better looks? Different hair color? Ability to shoot lightning? Splicing's got your back. Powered by a material harvested from sea slugs known as Adam, splicing pav...
