    Right hand side of the keyboard is different too. We have a double height but narrower enter key and a few moved around to accommodate.
    The actual character mapping on the keys is also different for a UK keyboard, unless its an apple keyboard in which case they have an altered English US mapping on an 88 key.

    There is this hilarious ad now on the freeway in Melbourne. It is an ad by Cars Guides, and the ad says: "Some car sales companies charge you to put your car for sale." Then there is an arrow which points to the side, and says "Hint Hint"
    https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37...m4!1e1!3m2!1sUm-jmgsiM7-_9GO_Fx-phg!2e0?hl=en
    It points directly at Carsales main building :D
    Where the apple ad is in this picture, there are 2 apple ads, one is an iPhone ad, one is an apple cider ad, where the apple cider one is, is the new ad.

    If I can, I will get a picture of the ad, hilarious! Also, it is true, Carsales charges $60 to put your car for sale.

    I love the new McLaren Honda livery :D Finally it looks like the 2003/04 season car again.

    Apparently I have figured out the ultimate in self-defense technology. The crayola marker hurts like a motherfucker if you press the lid side hard on the back your hand, or stab it. One of my friends was crying in pain afterwards.

    Okay so I lost all steering in BeamNG. The wheels seem to try and turn, but they just twitch. :/

    Guess what, all hard things hurt when used to stab people.

    i hate amd driver's, they are literally the worst

    just tried updating my siblings laptops gpu drivers (it's a radeon hd 6310) and no matter how many times i re-downloaded them or different ways to download them it always fails with the same error:

    "registry check failed, this is usually caused by a corrupted or unfinished download"

    It was hilarious though. I already knew that too. But things 5 year olds use makes a 14 year old kid cry. It was too funny.

    No wonder you made it into my sig, smartass.

    For reference, 87 key keyboards are of this style (without numpad)

    88 keyboards are of this style minus the num pad.

    Lol, AMD cut prices on the 290x to profit on the people leaving their 970s. You can now get a 290x for $213 or a used 970 for $299

    Anyone leaving a 970 because it's got a slow 512MB of memory is an idiot.
    But 290x for $213? You mean $313? A 280 is $220ish.

    Nope, $213. After a $30 MIR IIRC.

    I think it is less the fact that half a gig is slow, but that a) they lied and b) you can't keep it from using 4GB. Let's say you've got an SLI setup at a triple 1080p. If something hits 3.6GB it's gonna stutter like crap.
