by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 21, 2006 5:58am PSTChecked out the new Militia map for CS:S yesterday and boy did that make my PC scream for an upgrade. I thought I was doing alright with a 3500+, 1gb of RAM and a basic 6800 videocard but I guess not. The map is OK in spots but then there are just these massive slowdowns. Apparently turning off HDR will help but I'm not really used to scaling down graphics. The problem with upgrading my videocard though is that my motherboard is still AGP based so I'd have to upgrade to a PCI-Express solution as wel. Maybe I'll start out with one of those X2 CPUs first. Movie: Now, is my shit together, or is my shit together?

I drew this last night as a part of a DRAWING CHALLENGE. Its something that me and my friend do for one another. We give eachother very simple directions and then there's an hour to do the best we can with them.
My direction was a "jealous emu". Ok, so I am curious what you guys think in general, but specifically I wonder which character you think is better. The proud lion or the jealous emu. I think the proud lion sux, he seems to preffer him though.
I LET THE SHACK DECIDE.

Will they start making the classic N64 games for the DS? Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Turok, should all handle perfectly on the DS.
And that, folks, would be kick ass.

So I just got an Athlon 3700+, new HDD, and this mobo (http://www.asrock.com/product/product_939Dual-SATA2.htm).
First off, this mobo is absolutely incredible. Got it for $67, and it has just an insane amount of features.
So my question is this. I have the following memory stickums:
1 512MB 400MHz
2 256MB 333MHz
Now I know this mobo/CPU are 400MHz, but I remember in the days of PC133, you could toss in a PC100 stick and it would usually work fine. Does this still apply? I don't wanna screw up my system or fry anything...

From Game Developer Magazine, interview with Tim Schaefer (you know.. Psychonauts, Monkey Island...)
"For our next game, on publisher said, "No one is into creative stuff now" and another said "Our only red flag is innovation on the gameplay. Have you considered doing this as a GTA style game?""
You may commence weeping for gaming now.

WTF, SATA DVD burner? Nice, I could get rid of all my parallel ATA cables once and for all. If only I didn't already have a DVD+R DL recorder though. :-P

I picked one up at launch because I was playing on 21" CRT. Now that I've upgraded to the Dell 2405, I slightly prefer the look of the component cables (a little more vibrant colors it seems) and thus don't have much use for the VGAs. I'll sell it for $30 shipped.

The file in reference is a file that is marked "blahblahblahblah 16 year old and her boyfriend blahblahblahblahblah" you know the type... It's been titled so many things you don't know what it really is...
The video is, in fact, a rather old an unattractive woman doing to guys with a porno groove playing. Unfortunetly she refuses to look at it because she "won't look at child porn!"
So now I have to ask for backup. How many of you all have mistitled porn in your folders? This is an everyday occurance, right?

Option #1:
Go out to local bar with friend, drink $1 beers from 11-12.. hang out with neighborhood losers until 12 most likely, then smoke some weed and call it a night. High possibility of running into people I haven't seen in years, whom I probably don't want to see ever again anyway.
or
Option #2:
Smoke some weed. Fire up the recently borrow Condemmed for Xbox 360. Most likely end up feeling depressed for not leaving the house.
Keep in mind, I'm married, so getting ass is pretty much out of the question.

After posting these ( http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=11453015 ) from my wedding, some people wanted to see my engagement photos taken by the same guy... so... here are some!
These aren't exactly the original pictures. My wife wanted me to make an album of our engagement photos for both of our parents, so these are just a few of the pages that I put together of our pictures for the albums.

Well I thought it was "okay", nothing special. But don't dare say that in a room full of hard-core socialist Democrats :( Apparently if you're not profoundly moved and deeply depressed by this tale of racism (using only stereotypes and trying to evoke emotions with the cheapest, lowest common denominator tactics OMG your mom has dementia/OMG you live a shallow and mean life/OMG you're of a different color than white but you also have racist thoughts!!!) you're not "racially sensitive", bah. Fucking liberal PC police can bite me (and I'm socially liberally FFS).

So I'm doing a SOHO project. Its for about 10-15 users. I have some questions. First off
I have 3 users who will only have SMTP/POP3 email functionality and no web access whatsoever. There are 100 different ways to do this, but I'm looking for the easiest and most reliable. I was considering just turning off DHCP and not giving the 3 users a DNS host. Will this break pop3/smtp access? If I go for a hardware solution, which router would be good for this?
I need a pretty simple email filter that will strip out any email thats NWS. They're going to be using SBC/Yahoo DSL and the emails given out. A server is out of the question for now. I was considering popfile, but I don't want to train them on using the bucket filtering right now. This ins't super important, just something i'm thinking of.
Windows 98. Yes. 4 clients are win98 and there is nothing I can do about it now. Should I kill myself? I hate win98 as much as the next guy, but for now, I can't change them out.
Router. I need a good router that can block web access to specific IP addresses. I also need an inexpensive switch with 10 ports.
