by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 08, 2005 5:28am PSTNot sure what to think about that PhysX PPU. The idea sounds good, and realistic fluid simulation (water breaking through glass, etc) is something I hope to see in games soon, but I don't see myself buying a card just for that. If they find a way to get it added to videocards though, or on motherboards, that'd be neat. Also on FileShack
- Need for Speed Underground 2 1.2 patch - fixes some bugs and improves performance on the GeForce 6800.
- NIPPER's Final CS Map Pack - large map pack for the original CS.
I hope everyone appreciates this...

How's the realistic battery life? Not the life that companies quote you.
Ever dropped yours slightly?
I was playing around with one at Fry's and the 12" is so small. However, I don't know if $300 is worth the extra inch or two in size. But I really like the size of the laptop. Plus with the rumored announcement of new ibooks coming out this month, Fry's told me the current ones will get discounted, maybe more than the apple student discount.

I know a lot of you play on ashke's and rydogg's servers, but me and a couple of buddies just purchased a 16-player dedicated server and it's open to the public.
Don't worry about cheaters, because if they're cheating and any of us are on, they will be kicked, and repeat offenders will be banned.
However, there is no AWP, autosnipe, or autoshotgun. That's about it.
Just about all the default maps are in the rotation with the exception of train, compound, aztec, and I think that's about it.
The IP is in my profile.

However the sisters of the murdered man have been appearing in the media denoucing the IRA - the murdered man was nothing to do with the IRA. So the IRA expelled the people responsible and now have offered to shoot them........... The sisters just want the murderers bought to justice. Very, very sad.

Do they all need to be say 192.168.0.xxx or can some be 192.168.1.xxx too? Is it just the subnet mask that matters or do the first three fields of the IP address have to match and only the last can have different numbers?

Can anyone recommend a very good priced dedicated server (just need regular ol' Red Hat/Gentoo/etc, no cp needed) from a company that has decent support?
I've waited almost 72 hours just for a reply from these guys at Layered Tech to upgrade (yes, I'm trying to PAY THEM MORE and they don't respond). They advertise 24/7 support. I mean, I don't mind every once in a while it taking longer since this is a development server only, but godddddamnn!
We've had servers in The Planet/ServerMatrix, Ev1, FDC, Layered, and a few other ones such as 15MinuteServers and a new one just starting up in Irvine, CA.
FDC has by FAR been the worst. Now I understand that you get what you pay for, but apparently a support tech DISABLED our server to use it as a temporary solution for someone else, or some bullshit like that. Also, their tech support people have no concept of customer service and at one point even told us that they wouldn't care to have us go to a different data center. The funny thing is we were only asking why our server just happened to go offline at a random interval at 3 PM in the afternoon for 7 hours. They wouldn't even explain, just told us if we had a problem to look into another datacenter.
We moved servers only about 2 weeks after being with them.
LayeredTech has been very bad as well (not as bad as FDC) regarding our Cpanel box we had there. For no apparent reason /proc just dissapeared and the system was down for quite a while. We were pretty sure it was bad hardware since we were having issues with the system for quite a while. The system was running Red Hat Enterprise 3 I believe... was very secure, so I doubt it was anything related to that. That wasn't really a huge deal. But they double charged us for a server and charged us for 2 server reloads when we only did one, and then charged us for a cpanel upgrade when the system a) had cpanel and b) we never asked for a cpanel upgrade for the other system. Then they stupidly hooked our kvm-over-ip to ANOTHER CLIENT's SYSTEM. Yes, we had full BIOS access to ANOTHER PERSON'S COMPUTER. Yeah, major WOOPS on their end. Other than that, they've been pretty good other than an initial Ram failure with our 1st system we bought there.
Anyway, it's been 60 something hours since I opened the ticket (although, I'll cut them some slack since it was a sunday, but it still says 24/7 support). The system is an Athlon Xp 2600+ with 512 MB of ram. It was primarily for a development server but since then I've thrown a large site (2.5 MILLION visitors) on to it and it's just raping the hell out of it. The system relies heavily on caching/mysql but the loads are hitting high 1's and it's getting annoying. We're trying to upgrade to 1.5 GB of ram, but now I think we're just going to take the box somewhere else.
Sorry for the long rant guys but stupid datacenters just piss me off -- you get what you pay for and The Planet has been AWESOME. We have 4 Dual Xeon's with them and will definately be getting more soon.

If you wish to be in this years Shack NCAA pool, please shackmsg me ASAP. If you have friends who you would like to be in the pool, even if they aren't shackers, that's fine too. When you shack message me, I will send you a link to paypal me 5 dollars. If you have a credit card, please pay 5.50, as Paypal rapes you with fees. When you do Paypal me, and this is very very important, as some people were out of the pool last year for this reason, YOU MUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR SHACKNAME IS!! Just add your shackname to the notes field on the paypal payment. For people who aren't Shackers, please have them include their email address.
After I recieve payment (and assuming I know who you are) I will send either a shackmsg or an email (your preference) with the league info. I hope to get as many people in this year as possible, hence the opening of the league. Last year we had about 100 dollars, but that included 3 non-shackers.
Anyway, good luck, and again, please let me know ASAP - I will be checking shackmsg's later tonight and hopefully reposting this over the next few days. Bumpage would be appreciated if I'm not around.

The Uncyclopedia is essentially a parody of Wikipedia, a giant collection of deadpan sarcasm. For example, here's a portion of the George Washington entry:
Contrary to popular belief, George Washington was the first honest-to-god President of the United States of America. He even beat Thomas Jefferson to the punch, which is impressive, as Jefferson was a resourceful bitch.
In a recent study at MIT, Washington's corspe was unearthed and reduced to its base components in a high-speed centrifuge. After careful analysis, it was determined that the remains had a value of precisely one US Dollar. After the results of the study were made public, the United States Treasury put Washington's face on the one dollar bill. In keeping with this new policy, the Treasury will give the bearer of a one dollar bill George Washington's corpse upon request. This offer has yet to be redeemed.
It's like an epic version of John Stewart's America. And anyone can add to it!
