    What jobs were the Cent servers doing? How well did they integrate into Windows Active Directory?
    I sometimes think about adding some Linux machines to Windows networks, but worry about passing security back and forth.

  2. STALKER uses Doom 3 textures, with permission? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "I browsed the stalker .db" files with this new extract tool which is around.
    I saw that they are using doom3 lightimages.
    for the people which own both games can compare the "lights" folders.

    I'm wondering if the russian guys got the permission for using them.
    As a hobbyist i think its not that fair. If i'm using textures from another game without having the big money in mind i will get mails from a lawer or someting like that. even if i only want to do a cool level."
