Most modern SSD's will get a 7.9 score. I have a Crucial C300 128GB on a Sata II port and that gets a 7.7 by itself. Admittedly, the guy was using 64GB SSD's, but the screenshots are from 2009, so that was old tech. A 64GB Crucial M4 on a Sata III port should have no problems getting a 7.9 <img src="http

I loved SKoriginals' Wraith blind when I first saw it, so I had to buy it the same day I got my ODNT. I'm in the process of creating some Rainmeter skins to go with it too. I can't upload them until I get permission from SK though, and I have no idea when he'll next be on here. So far I've got a media player and disk info sorted.[e digicons]:grin:[/e] Massive thanks to WebGizmos for letting me use the .png's from his Wraith Xtreme skin. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Kind of reminds me of 'Come to Daddy' by Aphex Twin, only not as brutal and awesome. I wouldn't call that Techno either, it's more like Dubstep or Breakbeat.

The article I read about it said: "One of the first on the scene was shark spotter Monwabisi Sikweyiya, who has told how he helped drag the victim from the water. He said Mr Cohen had lived in the area for years and was known as a regular swimmer at the beach. "He was very interested in sharks and respected them, but never took any notice of our warnings," he told The Daily Telegraph. "If he wanted to swim, he swam. We warned him often that he was taking a risk, but he always said &#3

Totally agree 100%, Nimbin, and that's coming from someone who's gay and transsexual (I've not felt it necessary to mention the latter before because it's not been relevant to anything I've had to say or contribute on here, before now.) These things do not define me. Just as wearing 'Goth' clothing and listening to 'Goth' music, doesn't define me. Mainly because I wear other types of clothes and listen to other types of music, but also because the

Things could get worse, apparently.
