- You playing porn in Windows Media Player? Microsoft knows. - Wacky date stuff. - You can not get away with theft, ever! - A bunch of unsafe children's products are being recalled, how about they do some pre-sales checks huh. - Hopefully the N'Sync guy won't be returning. Thanks James. - Oookay, using toilet paper to fix streets.Lastly, a car rental firm has been ordered to stop fining people for speeding using GPS tracking, and will have to refund to people.

The following alias lets you to shoot the elites (Terrorist only) bullshit fast by using the mousewheel to attack
alias tripleshot "+attack;wait;-attack;wait;+attack;wait;-attack;wait;+attack;wait;-attack"
bind mwheeldown tripleshot
Then to unload, just scroll the mousewheel down :) Binding mwheeldown to +attack, by the way, doesn't work as well. Making each mousewheel click fire THREE times is far more effective. (Two would be just as good I suspect, but you'd have to scroll a bit faster, which is hard to do in battle)
Quirks:
* You have no control over your motion while firing this. If you were running, you're going to keep running. It feels like you just stepped on a patch of ice. Good luck changing your aim after downing one guy.
* You CAN NOT hit anything with accuracy outside about 3 feet. Glock users will probably kill you. That being said I did get a few (ie. 4 or 5) freak kills with this through random headshot-edness and/or sometimes taking off the last 20hp they had.
* This doesn't work with other guns, I think because there's not enough waits between -attack and the next +attack. Elites seem to have an unlimited ROF, unlike every other gun which has a ceiling on semi-auto ROF.
* The only thing this is good for is locking down a very very small entryway from an unexpected angle. Ie, the grate in cs_militia.
* Is it a cheat? Well, I was consistantly bottom of the scoreboard using this. You decide.

i'm going to the one in detroit..
oxford was fucking full..
basically tally up how many "poopoohead" votes particular posts get, and particular users get.
What we'd do with this info, and how we'd use it I'm still working on. I would think that if someone tallys up 10,000 poopoohead votes from 10,000 different people.. then it's a safe bet that he's a poopoohead.
Just wanted to gives a heads up that I'm looking at it. Obviously no moderation system will be perfect, and as much as I like taking the heat for 20-30 moderators who all have different opinions I'd like to give the public moderation system a shot, or at least see what kind of patterns we'd see in the voting.

ATT can't pull my records from the cable to the wireless side of the house.
At work, when a frame relay issue is traced to equipment, I have to call a new number and give all the problem information to the equipment guys, even though they are part of the same company.
At the bank, my wife was able to cash my *direct deposit* stub, and even more amazingly, without a signature.
At the insurance company, I have to repeatedly give all the same information to change addresses on my home, car, life, and health policies-- though they are all in the same company.
Nobody knows who the hell you are, and the idea that they could coherently use all the information right now is absurd. They can't even do it when their corporate survival depends on knowing who you are and what you do.
Microsoft couldn't pick me out of 100 million customers if their lives depended on it.
The only agency I fear is the Credit Reporting Agencies--and mainly because of their incompetence, rather than any evil intent.

I am not being paid to do Network Admining, nor Tech Support...but it is being forced down my throat by my boss. I used to enjoy this stuff, but now I don't even want to repair, or work on my home computers anymore.
Oh, and each of our 7 offices got 3 new computers with Windows XP installed on it, which no-one knows how to use...including myself. I had XP up and networked in 10 minutes...it wasn't too hard, but it was a little tricky, and I was getting calls from the other 6 offices 3 minutes later with 100 fricken questions. Goddamn it, leave me the fuck alone, let me get our system up and running first.
I'm gonna tell my boss that any computer work from now on will have to be contracted out. It is not part of my job. I would like to see his face when he finds out how much that's gonna cost.

The Good:
Nice Graphics,Decent physics engine,Great Snipers.
The ability for engineers to ride with any vehicle and then hop out for repairs and then hop back in when taking fire.
GMAX comes with it and supports the renegade format so you can build models for your map but I hope theres a map editor or this is useless.
The Bad:
They took out the lag hiding smooth play code only to make it obvious ur not moving instead of warping around.(while this is a good thing the lag is bad)
This aiming shooting system:
While the guns are all very cool, you have to line up perfectly so you have a red target instead of the default white one.
3 clips later your or your opponent are dead.3 or 4 direct hits from a tank and then your dead.
Bases are a little to tuff on this one map to get into
Way to many times did I get in a 1v1 soldier battle and we both died at the same time.
Overall: 6 out of 10 (fixing the the red target when shooting would give it 1 more stars and fixing the lag would give it 1 more star for a 8 wich aint to bad.)
What the hell is the inequality operator?!?
I want something like this, Im comparing two strings and if they are NOT equal, I wish to enter the if statement. ie.
if (StrComp(a, b) Is Not 0)
but that doesn't work, neither does IfNotNull(), thats not even a function, altough IsNull is, which is pathetic. The manuals are pathetic, MSDN is pathetic, how the FUCK are you supposed to find functions like that??! I would buy a book, but its a bit hard from work.
