Thats funny that the story about the red light cameras was posted today. I got a red light violation about a month ago. I didnt come to a complete stop while making a right turn at a red light.
Today i went to the police station to review the video. I didnt want to just pay the ticket without seeing what i did. I watched the video... and it was SOOO garbage. Technically, yes, i did not come to a complete stop, but i was slowed down *ALMOST* to a complete stop... a gust of wind in the opposite direction probably could have stopped me. I honostly believe that even if the real police were behind me, they would NOT have given me a ticket.
Anyways, I want to goto court and talk to a judge about this. What do i say to him? Do i plead innocent? Yes, in a black and white sense, I am breaking the law... but imagine getting a ticket for going 1mph over the speed limit. Thats how i feel, and the worst part is this is a $336 dollar fine!
I asked the clerk about going to the judge, and she said that it would not help at all, its a mandatory minimum fine. Which is Bullshit, because my friend went to a judge with the same kind of ticket and got the fine knocked down to around $100, the fine it would be for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign.
So what do i do ?
sorry this is so long.. im kinda venting too, cuz im sooo pissed about this.

This may be old news, im notorious for posting old information especially when its about "all your base".
I see a lot of people going prone as a medic to revive people. You do not have to do that. Just be in range with the paddles and you can shock people back to life. This is helpful if your running and see someone on the ground. Dont stop. Pull out paddles. Time it right and you can revive them as you pass over them and keep on running. This is also a good way to get shock paddle kills on people. The fun part is there is a crosshair that lets you aim the paddles for accuracy.

TLDR: Power failure @ 866 feet on the X Scream thrill ride in Vegas leaves riders stuck for 90 minutes. The emergency generators kept the slot machines working just perfectly however.

Haven't been in the Overclocking crowd for a while and I was curious how overclocking AMD 64's works?
Can I adjust the bus speed without having to increase the speed of the RAM? Don't think my old Geil PC-3200 will be too happy with going much past 200 mhz.

This is just one of my screens I took to compare differance between 0 AF and max AF. I could see there is stuff that differs, but I can't really say one looks better then another. I also took some comparison shots between Shader Model 2.0 and Shader Model 2.0++, and mainly the same deal there. SM2.0++ gives me some soft shadows at some locations, but I'm not sure it's worth the drop from 90ish to 25ish fps...
