have south park ever mentioned bitcoin in any of his episodes?


not yet...this season was  focusing mainly on tech..uber, oculus rift, crowd funding...but missed  the bitcoin phenomenon

They might actually be trying to research it and understand it unlike everyone else, but I'm not holding my breath because it's South Park Tongue but you never know, all the kids might end up using it in one episode and then kenny will be killed by the FBI for being a terrorist lol Grin

That said they almost NEVER kill Kenny anymore! ;_;

Multiplayer cracks? What world do you live in? Yes there are some but they can be awfully hacky depending on how the game is set up, if you want multiplayer that badly then just wait until the game gets dirt cheap and then buy it or save up.

This is like one of those "My uncle works for" rumours to me Tongue Also, I'm pretty sure Mark Zuckerberg is in deep with the U.S government, everyone should know those types at the very least won't announce they use Bitcoin publicly.

Why is it when a black teenager is gunned down people only care when a white person is involved?
personally, i don't care if the person is white black young old saint or convicted felon. i care about corruption and abuse of power. i care about losing freedoms and lives to thugs with badges.

When I'm saying these problems such as gun violence etc. and racism are purely American problems I'm really not just being a British guy and just trying to tick the Americans off ( Although that part is fun Tongue ) I'm trying to remember which protest this was but there was an incident where a guy got shoved and struck with a baton by the police who was just walking by and had nothing to do with the protests, ended up dying apparently of a heart attack, there was a huge amount of rage over it.

Then there was also an incident which I think was over university loans etc. where a guy in a wheelchair got dragged off his chair by the police for 'resisting' a lot of anger about that as well, both white on white incidents and all in the UK, it really is only Americans where I see that level of hatred and ignorance, actually, there is the middle east, so maybe Americans aren't that much different from fanatical Muslims after all.

According to what people are saying Denuvo DRM is made by the same people who did the nasty SecuROM DRM that fucked with your computer and have made a return, I find it very funny actually that it was hacked so quickly, looking forward to downloading the crack.

I loved Far Cry 3 and cant wait to play Far Cry 4. I hope it is good.

It's not bad, just don't get your hopes up, a lot of it is "press <button> to jump to this cliff ledge" rather than it being a proper sandbox, I was particularly annoyed that the chopper is limited by invisible walls which aren't your standard solids but they actually shut down your chopper's engines.

Now that I can actually play the game without freezing or crashing Tongue I don't think it's that much of an improvement from Farcry 3 to be honest, it's not a bad game to be sure but I think as far as sandbox type games go it's actually pretty average, when you get down to it it's a bit like Saints Row where you're just running around to different points finishing side missions and stuff to help you finish the ultimate objective in an extremely large world and I personally don't think that's very sandbox if I'm making any sense.

There's lots of stuff to do, don't get me wrong, but I don't know, just seems a bit meh compared to other stuff I've played.

How about actually scientifically and mathematically refuting these claims instead of writing sarcastic American propaganda in one line?

Hypocrites. Frankly the bitcoin world is better off without them.

We don't need them, the fact is, the more people the banks shut out with their policies and corruption, the more they'll turn to cryptocurrencies instead, this whole idea that we 'need' regulation is just something beauracrats and politicians make up to seem relevant.

So what you are saying is choking someone has no affect on their ability to respirate and deliver oxygen to the brain?

He was choked for only 10 seconds. I guarantee most people can hold their breath for 10 seconds and not die or go into a coma...

If he died he wasn't choked for 10 seconds and you're also forgetting that these cops have shit for brains they won't necessarily know properly about the windpipe and jugular vein or that there are certain pressure points along the neck you can actually kill someone with so if you're actually pinning someone down with enough force yes you could kill them in 10 seconds if you're being a jackass and not watching what you're doing.

Never thought I'd agree with Decksperiment on something, it seems the internet is thoroughly united against DRM lol Tongue I did have a hell of an easy time with Windows XP despite how annoying it sometimes is to install just because there was a lot less junk on it.
2594  Other / Off-topic / Re: Two problems occuring with Windows 7 on my new PC on: December 03, 2014, 06:06:41 PM
I think it was probably me changing the chipset options in the BIOS that did it, so thanks I guess Decksperiment? Cheesy

What happened was I went to the BIOS and in the graphics options there was only PCI or PCI-E and since I had already tried PCI several million times it looks like that's what did it, I should point out though I also installed 13.9 ATI drivers since anything higher was causing some fucking weird problems on my PC, thanks for your suggestions and comments guys.

Edit: Now I remember it I did actually do this the last time but it was so long ago since my last format that I couldn't even remember *facepalm*
2595  Other / Off-topic / Re: Two problems occuring with Windows 7 on my new PC on: December 03, 2014, 05:04:26 PM
Seriously? When the fuck did it become so difficult to install a driver? I even got auto-detect working and had the latest 14.9 drivers installed, it shouldn't be this difficult, I'm seriously considering trading my damn ATI graphics card in for an Nvidia one now but I guess that's their plan. After a LOT of digging it appears to be a very specific and nasty piece of DRM designed by Microsoft to attack manufacturers and developers who don't sign up to their digital signature program, I didn't know about this piece of shit at all but apparently in order to get on this special list people have to pay a chunk of money or have their software treated as if it's some untrustworthy program.

I found this program http://www.ngohq.com/?page=dseo called Driver Signature Enforcement Override and I'm going to figure out how it all works and experiment, will let you guys know if anything comes of it because I think it's the most realistic option to fixing this unless you lot come up with anything else.

Edit: I'll double check the intergrated graphics in the BIOS, will see if the works Decksperiment

2597  Other / Off-topic / Re: Two problems occuring with Windows 7 on my new PC on: December 03, 2014, 11:28:03 AM
As I recall, installing AMD drivers on Windows requires that you go into Device Manager and select your video card and go into Properties->Driver and perform some ritual that I forget the details of, but I think it involves candles and goat blood. That's part of the reason I don't use Windows any more.

LOL! Tongue But seriously, I did get it fixed and now I'm worried about windows shoving outdated drivers onto my system :S Guess I'll have to play some games to see if everything works, the problem is developers like EA have some really obnoxious DRM that checks your graphics drivers and so on so that's what I'm worried about.
2598  Other / Off-topic / Re: Two problems occuring with Windows 7 on my new PC on: December 03, 2014, 09:42:39 AM
Well for some reason I manage to fix it but it has me slightly worried, the drivers I downloaded were from the manufacturers website but didn't work, so I did a clean uninstall of them and installed some option radeon drivers from windows update itself, all of a sudden it's working now but the drivers that were listed are from the HD 3000 series, I guess I just better do some testing and playing around to see if this has just installed something basic on my computer.

..... Just solved my hard drive problem Tongue

Right click computer

Manage

double click on storage

click on disk management

I found that there was an unnamed drive which matched the hard drive space of my backup hard disk, I right clicked it then clicked "change drive letters and path" that fixed the problem, I now have access to all my stuff.

Just need to fix the graphics driver issue now!

Hey guys! I got my computer built and installed windows 7 fine finally hurray! Even browsing is ridiculously fast but now I have run in to two very annoying problems though and it's happening because I've got a new motherboard and BIOS I'm not familiar with so I figured I should log onto here and ask people with more experience about it.

The first major one is that I've installed my ATI graphics drivers of course directly from the manufacturers website and while I got pop ups claiming it was all installed I get an error whenever I restart claiming that the ATI graphics driver hasn't installed of course, that isn't true, because the installation completed without any problems and windows configured itself as I restarted.

Heres the full error message "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware."

Things I've already tried:

. Made sure that I downloaded drivers from MSI's website and not ATI

. Scan for updates/install from disk

. scanned for hardware changes

. installed older drivers that are more stable ( Version 13.2 )

. removed all drivers and do a clean re-install ( I even just formatted windows 7 just to make sure so I'm on a clean OS now )

. Tried disabling driver signature enforcement which a lot of people were saying was the problem, no luck

Now I searched around and there were lots of mentions of doing scan for update but locating a support folder where version 13.4 is installed by default, but there's no such one anywhere that I can find so I think that maybe that's not to do with my particular problem but that's why I'm here, there is a warning symbol in device manager on my display adaptor category and it says "ATI Radeon HD 6900 series"

Now for my second problem, hard drives, I had no problems detecting hard drives before but while my main OS installed hard drive has come on fine the backup hard drive I have which has all my important stuff there isn't being detected on my computer. The funny thing is, I had this problem before and either I forgot how to do it or again, this is a new motherboard and I'll need to do something different. The hard drives all show up cleanly in the BIOS, they show up in the boot menu before Windows 7 starts up and they all show up in device manager and elsewhere, so I'm a bit stuck on this one but maybe you guys will know how to fix it.

I'm begging you don't tell me to format it Tongue I definitely need what's on that hard drive and it was strictly used for storage so no OS' were installed on it. It's weird but I think the internet has actually gotten worse for asking technical problems which is why I came here, there were too many very stupid comments from people for me to sift through. For the record my graphics card and hard drives were connected up fine before and there are no plugs missing or anything like that so I can fairly confidently rule out a problem with the way I've installed things.

Let me know if you have any ideas! These should be fairly simple to fix as I'm fairly certain they're software problems because I double checked and quadruple checked compatability for everything, so It's probably just some setting or trick I don't know about that I need help with.


Here's the motherboard and graphics card:

Motherboard: Asrock 960GC-GS FX

Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 6970 MSI Lightning

Windows Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Hope the information helps! I'll continue searching on my own so if I suddenly manage to fix everything I'll lock this thread and leave an explanation for anyone else having a similar issue.
