You are gay right? Gay as in, picky about something I'm obviously doing on purpose by choice. Is it really such a big deal that you'd gay up my post with your gay reply? Get a life. For your own sake.
Bored bored bored bored! I need something new. A brand new concept. Something nobody has ever done before. As much as I LOVE FPS games, I've found myself playing more single player style stuff like NOLF2 and RTCW over again just because it's more fun. The idea of being able to possess someone is great and all, but it's not enough. Someone should take away all the inter-server barriers and create an online FPS based on that principle. I've proposed this before in the form of a Stargate SG1 mod for UT2003k with a stargate and DHD to use to get from server to server, and to protect your clan's server with IRIS codes, but how about something even more seemless than that. Think Servers graphically represented as planets. Some slick code using a network latency map with pings and such could be used to decide what's a planet, how big the star is it's orbitting. Where to place smaller 8-16 player servers that would be moons of the local huge fast "planet" server. Make the transport ship that takes you from planet to planet a game in itself. Make it a requirement for a clan to "hire" a shithot pilot, and make the ship itself an important part of the game. Imagine shooting at a ship as it's leaving your planet/server and it trying to dodge and weave and make it out of it's gravity. Imagine someone making a weapons mod that lets you snipe people from planet to planet. server to server. We need code that seemlessly supports that. Instead of a locked up server island online, you have a planet. Someone can rise and become caesar and with thousands of followers, sweep this universe of planet/servers and moon/servers until they own it. Somone else can start a rebellion and rise up to become the new czar.
Then we'd all have Mikov leverlocks instead of 500 dollar microtech knives. We'd carry 150 dollar Makarovpistols instead of 550 dollar glocks and kahrs.
And that would mean we'd all be pretty smart. The Mikov is one of the most wonderfully underrated knives in existence. It's perhaps THE strongest automatic knife design there is. It's light, quick, and has an excellent blade that holds an edge for a damn long time. Not bad for a 100 year old design that you can pick up for 40 bucks with black plastic ABS handle.
The Makarov is the ONLY gun I own that has never jammed ONCE on any ammo I've ever fed it. The ammo is cheap as sin too. It's got about the same amount of power as a.380 with the added bonus of easily grouping 3 inches at 25 yards quickly, and easily under 1 1/2 inch with winchester white box ammo if I really concentrate. Being able to rapidly place shots exactly where you want them is a hell of a lot better than getting tagged 3 times before you recover from the recoil of your first shot with your magnum.
With the nearly thousand dollars you save buying these two weapons over the ones featured in hollywood movies, you can start to pay for some things that matter more. Like, some training. Training so you are less dangerous to yourself and the people around you if you ever are put in a position to have to use deadly force.
I read about it, it sounded cool. I downloaded it. Installed it. And it wouldn't let me play unless I registered for "boot camp" online. Fuhuck that. I did the real thing. I don't want to relive it in a game. I'd also rather not have to give over personal information just to play a war simulator. I'll stick with InstaUnlagged, OSP, and any other railgun mods for q3 for now, until such time as Doom 3 and halflife2 make an appearance.

Any Source?

He likes talking about guns a lot. I wouldn't mess with him. If he wants to make up some words and stuff, aweshum. At least he isn't climbing a tower with a rifle, or 'liberating' anyone to death. YET.
One truly awesome Stargate SG1 mod for UT2003. I think it would rock if someone could write code that would take you automatically from one server to another online by passing through a gate in the game. Imagine g'oud versus SG1 team multiplayer where you gate out of one firefight with your team right into another one (on a new server). Imagine the fun of forgetting to plug in the numbers and getting telefragged on the IRIS back at your clan's command center.:) Imagine using IRIS codes to allow people to get on your clan server. So so much could be done with this idea.
I'm running quite a few precompiled binaries on Gentoo and nothing is broken.
Quake III Arena Aim UT2003 RTCW RTCW ET Mozilla Firebird realplayer
and those are just the ones I can think of. Nice attempt at FUD though. I think more of the speedup has to do with the fact that I don't have gnome or kde support compiled into anything on my system since I use blackbox. It's the same logic behind making a custom kernel to take advantage of your hardware, applied to the entire OS. Some people care enough. Some don't and run another distro. Some enjoy spreading lies about other distro's because they feel inferior for some unknown reason.
Almost missed this one. I like to call it, the blackmail bribe. For a sum of roughly 750 dollars, you can hire a private investigator to dig up dirt on the management target you wish to gain influence with. If you are of a lower income bracket, you can do some simple investigative work yourself. The smallest piece of potentially harmful information can work out in your favor.
Real Life Example: I found out, quite by accident, that my bosses boss was a "super secret smoker". This is a major no-no for a corporate VP. So I'd occasionally have a gift carton of his favorite smokes delivered to his residence with some sort of small message, and a plug for an idea I was having problems getting past his subordinate (my boss). It's amazing how something like this can grease the skids for your agenda.
As a general rule, the constant debauchery and screwing over of your fellow man you need to perform in order to rise through the constantly churning ranks of corporate american management acts as a sort of "assholes with loose morals" filter. You'll find that your typical manager type responds very well to gifts of alcohol, cocaine, and the occasional high priced callgirl. If you are of a lower income bracket, lies are sometimes a good way to proceed. If you can paint a picture in which the manager will look like some sort of hero, and hint that you won't mind if they take complete credit for your hard work (like they won't anyway) , you'll have a much better chance of getting your idea past them. Feel free to mix and match combinations of these techniques.
790 notes this first, not Kai.:) But this particular plot gimmick has shown up in other scifi prior to Lexx. I can't remember for sure, but it might have been a piers anthony or gear novel.
EVERYBODY knows that class M planets almost always end up smoking husks because the inhabitants attempt to discover the mass of the higgs boson particle and waste themselves.
RIAA: We don't care if we win or we lose. We have all the money people buying our way overpriced products have paid to bring about as many pointless lawsuits as possible til these punks learn who their corporate masters are.

I'm absolutely thrilled with Firebird at the moment. I've replaced IE on family member's machines with it, and have the binary version running on Gentoo. I have had 0 problems so far with stability or website compatability. I only wish some kind gent would role the ebuild for the source so I can emerge it into Gentoo from portage. I'm entirely too lazy to do such a thing what with RTCW Enemy Territory taking up my free time.
FUCK fileplanet. What assholes. How dare them attempt to blackmail you into playing for their bullshit service so you don't have to wait to download a file that's supposed to be free. The friggin nerve of these losers. Kay. Done with my rant.
I installed ArmyOps.exe on my win2k partition and it asked me to "sign up" on a webpage or some such bullshit so I could register for "basic training". Fuuuuuuuhuuuuuuck that. the DoD wants me to register for a fucking game? What do they get out of it? Promptly uninstalled the game. They seem to be a little slow in copying the tricks of corporate America, but it's unnerving nonetheless.
