Haha! After Debating which one I Should submit to the competition, I finally decided, Upon listening to both of them for a while, that my first entry (first mp3 I posted) will be the one I will submit, You can omit the second one, it was just for laughs and gags. I was having way too much fun with "dragons" ;)

Your hobo (the person who gave him the egg?) speech sounds like 'James William Bottomtooth III' off Family Guy :yes:

Edit - Please don't quote my initial post! - Rob

I hope that I am replying in the right place. Since I started using computers only recently, I apologize for my inexperience in posting to this forum, as I usually don't use the computer for much more than emailing and donating my spare computing cycles to worthy causes. Which is precisely what my audio submission for this contest stipulates.

And if I am the lucky winner, fingers crossed, I fully intend to do exactly what I said in my submission, but since the time limit was only a minute, I don't know if I made it clear, that if I won, and actually did own that machine, I would donate spare computing cycles from it, to ALL of the available causes, ALL at once, since it could probably handle it.

And with that said, I hope that even if I don't win, and get to do that, maybe others that read this post, or listen to my submission, will consider doing the same thing, with their computers, instead of wasting all the spare processing power that they have, doing mundane things such as I mentioned in my audio file. Thanks for hosting this contest, and maybe now that I have posted and submitted something to your forum, I will be able to contribute more in the future.

Just to clarify, it's a real-life dragon you're supposed to be talking about, not the Dragon-named machine!

oh well that sucks, please remove my submissions in this thread thus far. I will now have to go back to the drawing board.

Did you not hear the other submissions in this thread? I've added a dragon image to the initial post :p You weren't the only one, don't worry, I guess clarifications were needed.

If Rob was clarifying the rules to this contest because of my submission in particular, I'm sorry, but the mention in my audio file, about SLAYING the problems that donating spare computer processing cycles, would be about the only reference to a REAL dragon that I have, and seeing as how, I really don't know very much about any real dragons, that's about all I can muster. So please accept this as my submission. Thanx.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
