A polite warning that you are doing something illegal is generally considered helpful.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, it's not seen as "polite" to show someone their wrongdoings. Heck, I'd go as far as to say you'd get chastised more for telling someone they did something wrong (when they truly did wrong) than when you mistakenly give someone a hard time about something....
From a standpoint of the network ports, you can choose just one port in the settings for generals, and it will stick to that - but you do have to (on your firewall) dedicate that port (UDP AND TCP - if you don't do UDP, you'll have issues, as I've found) to your internal box.
Oh yea, and the mismatches - WTF. I know they're attempting to run in lockstep so they're not being overly chatty, but look at Age of Empires (another one that me and my friends got into big time) - if there was ever a "mismatch", it would save a copy of the game on every client machine, and then one of the clients could "resume" the game, and have the participants re-connect...
Fixing the mismatches would turn Zero Hour from just an average game (in my opinion) to a GREAT GAME. We just get too frustrated at the mismatches, however, and stopped playing it after several months....
What you *did* notice was a half-dozen guys with hard hats and blueprints piling out of a stealth APC you didn't see coming, and putting your Mobile Construction Yard on the real estate market:)
Oh dear god, you just reminded me about the single most annoying thing I ever encountered in that game... but it also made me want to play again and again....
Yeah. You know, the funny thing is, if you take a tank and shoot it at an infantry unit (and hit it), it would kill them.
Hitting and accuracy against small targets may be an issue, but hey, that could be the downfall of trying to mow down troops with a tank.
I used to love playing Tiberian Sun (or was it Yuris or RA2?...) playing with the artillery deployed would kill anything. Drop a few around the edges of your base (they were mobile, iirc) and hit anything 1.5 screens away. Even if you attempted to move said unit out of the way of fire (very unfair).
But the X-Files wasn't just another video game..:)
There was already a TV screen presence (Scully, Mulder(sp?)) that even if you weren't totally into the X-Files, you probably still saw an episode or two, and knew who the characters were. That's the hook.....
In this scenario, never have I said, "Sorry you're bored, I'm busy."
I've actually told my wife that before. It doesn't get you very far, what being a negative statement and all.
It is depressing when you have a hobby (gaming, music, cars, whatever) and my wife felt like pestering me... "You don't spend enough time with me!"
After communication and working through life's issues, though, I've found that we have "our time" and "quiet time". I now have my time for hobbies, and we still do things together. It's all about give and take. Of course, once we have kids.... that'll be give give give:) Oh, and to the parent, don't let anyone here get you riled up. Everyone has their own view of what they feel is the perfect relationship - hell, my best man really didn't want me to get married... but that's their overstated opinion, FWIW.
I'm 2 weeks back into working out. Age 31. Attempting to get rid of a mild case of beer gut (210lbs, 6'3")
I've found that I'm way too tired in the evenings to stay up past 11pm now to play UT2004 with my clan members... kinda sucks in a way, but I'm way more energetic at work.
I actually had UT2004 do this to me a loooong time ago...
Athlon XP w/gigabyte mobo and 512MB Mushkin Black. Turns out, after I replaced the Mobo (with an Asus) and the power supply, and tried buying another gfx card, that a quick test with memtest+ found the culprit.
Now, it sucks to get a bad stick of ram and not know it, but it didn't act up in anything other than UT (and then memtest+). C&C Generals ran like a dream, no burps, farcry was perfect as well.
So check your memory for 12-24 hours with memtest. Then start looking elsewhere....
Wow.. Way to harp. He / She was trying to make a point...
Everyone I knew who was into smoking the stuff back in my college days also smoked cigarettes, which I'm sure would be 10 times worse, because you smoke much more tobacco in a given day than MJ.
However, only smoking MJ every now and again wouldn't damage you as much as cigs every day - its the Pack-a-Day habit that will do you in, not the occasional joint.. or whatever.
I think one of the other problems you run into with Marijuana is that the people who smoke MJ typically smoke cigarettes too.
Of course, over time you can come around and see that smoking either can be bad for you. I'm not against the occasional smoke, but as the saying goes, all in moderation.....
Have all of the apps be aware of their nice levels, and strive to bring their nice levels up. However, they can't adjust their own nice levels, but they can adjust other apps nice levels....
Put in other limitations as well, so it doesn't just throw everything out the window. As in, the top niced program can't be reniced until it's not the top niced program anymore... and every time you nice an app, another app at random automatically loses niceness..
Would be interesting to see, for about 5 seconds....
I usually take up 2 spots when I go into work at a specific site. Why?
I got a "new-to-me" car, and after 1 day of parking, got a nice ding in the rear door. And this is parking amongst people I know!
Of course, I park so far out in the lot that there's no one around me - I'd say there are at least 5-10 spaces between me and the next car (no one else wants to walk???) so I'm not just taking up two spots right up front, mind you.
I've attempted to park out in the middle of nowhere at different places; most times you don't even need to take up two spots to get people to just leave the dings out of your car. Every now and again, I'll chuckle when I park out in BFE and someone parks right up next to my car.... ugh.
My 1999 Grand Marquis (Old Man car for my 31 year old body) has an interesting "feature" I found in the owners manual. If I leave the turn signal on for 1/2 a mile, the dash dings at you.
Guess someone at Ford was aware of this complaint.

Swing and a miss.
Or I could be ripping all 3 and letting them sit on my file server.
And, by the way, telling me to "get a life" is about as productive as me watching paint dry. Which I do admit to doing, occasionally.
I usually stuff my 3 DVDs all in the same return envelope. They all JUST fit within, allowing maybe one crease on the sticky strip that folds over...
That way, I get three chances to not mess up one envelope.
I could have helped you get back to 0 as a default, but I figured I'd reply, threatening to do it to you next time :)
Amen brother.

They fixed that in a patch.

It's worth noting that Barenaked Ladies are at least 6 times bigger than Avril Lavigne...
Of course!
Avril is pretty skinny, you know.
Understandable. I did have both motherboards, as well as other memory to test within each board...
Of course, the best would be to have differing chipset mobos, as both of mine were Nforce2 boards...
I had to go to work with 50lbs of recording machinery with another 20lbs of batteries in the snow...
:)
Uphill both ways? Barefoot?
Cmon, how hard was it?

May have also been a scrambled boot.ini - had that one happen at work recently.....
That sounds like some sort of AI game to play.

God damn, I hate games that you can't turn the sounds off of...
Got MP3's blaring, and I completed a word. BOOOM house shakes.
Dammit.
Just to be nitpicky, but a "gateway" doesn't typically reformat the packets.
Now, if your router is doing NAT, then yes, stuff gets mangled. However, routers and gateways can move packets keeping the original MAC in place.
But if you miss, you don't hit.
Ow, my head hurts.
and the older ones to not turning them back off.

And wasn't it a slip of some sorts to say one thing and mean your mother?
