Because you don't want it with you. I pity those that bring their GPSes, walkie talkies, and cellphones. Ditch them. They don't do you any good whatsoever and are not reliable in the outdoors. I don't go camping to live like I do at home, I go camping to camp. I don't know if what I am saying is lost on anyone, but it makes a hell of a lot of sense to me.
Umm, sorry, CS isn't TDM. Not in the way that TDM is used by people who know what TDM is, at least. Tribes 2 requires teamwork, but implying CS doesn't is silly.
I agree that a hawklike presence over my child's life would be detrimental. It is good to let a child make mistakes and learn from them. BUT IT'S THE PARENTS JOB TO KNOW WHEN TO STEER HIS CHILD AWAY FROM MISTAKES WHICH HAVE CONSEQUENCES THAT ARE MORE THAN HIS CHILD CAN HANDLE. That's my responsibility. My child's life must be an open book to me. Because until he's 18 the damage he causes to himself or other's are MY RESPONSIBILITY, NOT HIS.
Legally, yes, a child is their parent's responsibility until they are 18. It is, however, important that upon becoming legally responsible, the child IS responsible. If you treat them like a child until their 18th birthday, they're going to be set up for failure.
Well, it may be love, but it's misguided love, and no sane person wouldn't get annoyed. I have a saying, "It doesn't matter if you're doing your best if you continually fuck up.", and I believe this applies to parenting as well. I have a ridiculously overprotective mother, and I know she means well, but there's really no excuse for continually suffocating me so she can feel like she's being a good parent. I certainly tell her this, but when I get rightfully angry about it, she tells me I'm "being an asshole", I "need to get some more sleep so you're not so goddamn cranky", or something similar. If my parents continually checked my grades, and I one night said "Hey, I'd really appreciate it if you'd trust me enough to do my own goddamn homework." and they didn't respect me for it and back off, you can be damn sure I'm going to harbor resentment.
Doom didn't use jpeg for textures. You don't need a 486 to play doom. And a 3d engine that will run on a 486? Quake should.
I know you were modded 4, but I had to say it.
Funny, that's exactly what I did, and it describes me exactly. I suppose when you've just spent $2500 for your first computer, you make yourself damn sure you did it right.

No knowledge is bad knowledge. Perhaps ants have an optimal body structure for 0g tunneling? Could be useful to know for asteroid mining operations, perhaps. Then again, it could just be useless.
I beg to differ (like the others).
VCD is 1150Kbps at 352x240 with 23.976fps.
This equates to a Bits/(Pixels x Frames) of 0.568.
A well-encoded DivX 2-CD rip (most movies are 2 CDs for VCD) will have a ratio of around 0.384 with AC3 (much superior to VCD audio), and will look far better, indistinguishable from DVD, unless you use a computer monitor and specifically look for discrepancies. I'd hate to see the DivXes you've seen, they sound abysmal.
I have to disagree... XviD is basically reproducing the features of DivX 5, but it is
1. Free,
2. Open Source,
3. A LOT more configurable.
And, it doesn't have the built-in smoothing that DivX 5 does. It's not redundant if it's better.

It is light. Difference is, your trip was a week, his was overnight (or so he said).
