  1. Re:On physics on Comparing PC Game Physics · · Score: 1

    There was a server browser, and it wasn't ALL that bad, but it could have been better.

    The big problem with the aircraft was that (unless you had an UBER system) the viewdistance was too short to really make them usefull (except for helicopters, which were very hard to fly without a stick).

    I love that game! But i really hate the CTF style maps floating around on multiplayer servers.

    The thing that really held Flashpoint back was the lack of support for joining a game in progress.

    Note: The developers are working on a sequal with MUCH better graphics and engine, but as they are no longer under codemasters they lost the Flashpoint name (beware of a Flashpoint 2 - it's an imposter). Check out:

    Or they could just get rid of things like ARTS and use hardware mixing. When was the last time you had a soundcard that could only play 1-4 sounds at once?

    No, because the expectation is that the copy of windows you had went out with your old whitebox computer.

    When you get a computer with windows on it, that version is tied to that computer. Technically you are supposed to destroy your copy(s) of that Windows along with the key. Or transfer it if you are giving it to someone.

    How many idiots do you think would take windows off to save extra money, and get pissed when their brand new computer won't boot? Then they find out they need windows and go to a store, only to pay > $200 for it. ~ $400 if you want Pro.

    Dammit why don't we just go for anarchy and hand guns out to the citizens with free ammo on mondays?

    I know the consequences, but sometimes you stop and think... shooting fucktards in the face on sight has the potential to solve a lot of issues.

    You assume that he's running an OS that uses that system.

    Not trying to leave digital tinder here, but that kind of assumption makes you look quite pretentious.

    I would agree with you.

    I actually believe that god (not God, or Allah, etc) did create the world... but not as the Bible would have you believe it. He/She/It created the universe(s) and it's rules, which has led to where It all is now. Intentionally or not? Not my place to say - what matters is that things are the way they are.

    Please don't flame me for my completely banannas views :)

    You're an idiot because you are closeminded, irrational, and overly hostile (for no apparent reason).

    Ogg probably never did any harm to you, and if you don't like it you're welcome to your opinion. But expressing it in such a manner is just immature.

    Hey, I'm a new Sales associate in the US. They have me doing a lot of the Mobile Tech stuff (everything but warrenty work, as time allows - as I am still a sales associate). Any suggestions on getting moved to something mroe... worthwhile? Getting payed 7.70/h to fix computers while not doing normal 7.70 work is kinda depressing.

  17. Re:One thing I'd lie to see on Lawsuit Against Ubisoft for Starforce · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a more attainable stepping stone is getting legislation done that requires publishers to label the box and disk with the specific name, brand, and VERSION of copy protection used.

    Actually, just sitting in a tub of water with a toaster is likely not to hurt you. Only if you become the shortest path to ground (IE get out of tub). Else the power will just arc in the toaster (just where the power cord is soldered into the board)

    I think. No, I won't test it out :)
