Great post. Nuff said.

This works well? Give it a shot. Thanx.

Yea m4 is the weapon to use. Ill give that mouse a try. Thanx.

Ive heard of this issue with sp2 also. Sorry havent found a fix for it yet. Also if you change your OS or hardware vac may not let you because you are using a registered copy in your name/cd # or account with a new machine configuration. Steam may be assuming that someone else has your software. I heard of this from someone on another forum. You may have to call or email valve. Sorry dont know what else to tell you.

Yea have a great one now your 18. Now you can go straight to prison and longer.

Still might need a bigger banner.

Read ... the ... big ... yellow... banner.

Howdy guys and gals, Im a big enough man to say that I really kinda suck at CSS. Not the killed -5 times kinda sucks, but you all know what Im saying. Ive been playing since CS started and after all the practice and time in the game, I still cant get off those quick pop-out headshots some of you get! Is there a special trick you guys use? Do some of you have special mice? And please folks dont say "aim" better. Tips, tricks anyone?

Hey all. Got a question for the hardcore geeeks here. As you all know or dont know, I own a computer repair shop. Some come in needing seriouse virus removal. It gets to the point that the machines wont even boot correctly because there infected so bad. I ask them if they have current antivirus or antispyware software instaled and they say either they dont know or "yea, when I bought it THREE years ago". Most of you know what Im talking about. What I need to know is, is there antivirus software more thorough than Norton or AVG out there that I can use. I mean seriouse professional stuff. Also I use several types of equipment in my shop. Im thinking of buying new hardware diagnostic equipment from Micro 2000. Im specifically going to buy EraserDisk, RemoteScope, Micro-Scope Diagnostic Suite, POST-Probe, Universal Diagnostic Toolkit, USB-Scope. If any of you have this equipment let me know if its good or not and if theres any other good diagnostic equipment from other sources. Thanx, the Rev.

lol, eggheads! man, those were the days... who will ever need a PSU > an AT 250w? <strolls down memory lane> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL I bought a math co-processor for my 486sx at Eggheads.. I dont know why I didnt buy the 486dx setup.. The math co-processor was like $80 bucks, and didnt really help my games.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea when I first used the blazin fast 386, I thought it was the s@#$!

I hate to sound stupid Fatty, but Do I know Bilbo?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rather appropriate sample <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanx cheif I get the point. Very funny Fatty.

true.... true.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wasnt just the lot. It was the whole country, possibly the world. watch the special extras on the dvd (the guy from the rooftop has his own footage as an extra in the dvd) and he tells you that for every one he kills two show up.

If all your hardware checks out its gotta be your ISP man, give em a call and get a refund.

Yea that ws pretty good.

I hate to sound stupid Fatty, but Do I know Bilbo??

the screen savers, before they ruined it, had a guy from Crucial on the show talking about there new line of high performance memory. Someone asked a similer question to yours. He said that the ddr400 from his company actually runs better at 333mhz. This was about a year ago though.

I have the 9800xt myself. Plays HL2 and Doom3 great. CSS, no probelms. Why spend more if you dont have to.

Remember that break in at valve hq a while back where people stole the source code to halflife 2? There have been a lot of changes in order to keep people from doing things like this. Your machine configuration is also in your steam logon file. This new machine has a different configuration. Steam may be assuming that someone else has your copy of hl2/css. But then again you should be able to change these things when you answer the challenge question. Unless steam is getting really picky about security. Good question Ill do some checking too. And by the way always follow up an email to anyones tech support with a phone call, they hardly ever respond to any of mine. Lets us know what they say about it.

Dont know for sure but I think the reason the older ones seem to hold on to their prices longer is because of guys like us. We tend to wait a little while for the good cpus to go down in price before we buy. We're considered the upgrade market. I get a lot of people in my shop who, instead of upgrading what they have, ask me to build them a whole new machine or ask me whats the best Dell to get. I agree totally.

A few years ago I bought a pci card call a "Rocket drive" for my PC. The rocket drive was a pci card with 8 1gb pc133 system ram modules plugged into it. As you all know, system ram is volatile memory that loses info when its off, but is many times faster than a mechanical platter drive that is so common now. Talk about fast, I could beat a raid bench mark easy with this thing as long as I was careful to have a UPS connected to it at all times and didnt kick the power cord out from behind it. Now Samsung will be making these types of drives for the average pc enthusiast. Read on: Samsung ready to release 16GB solid state hard drives Faster, lighter, cooler for notebooks By INQUIRER staff: Monday 23 May 2005, 07:16 SOUTH KOREAN electronics giant Samsung said it has made the first solid state disk (SSD) using NAND flash memory. It can make SSDs to support capacities of up to 16GB, it said, suitable for notebook and tablet PCs, and with power consumption rates less than five per cent of current hard drives. That, it said, will extend the battery life of notebook PCs by over 10 per cent. The weight savings are also considerable - SDDs will be less than half the weight of comparable hard drives. The drives will also include performance rate by a claimed 150 per cent, with the disk reading data at 57Mbps and write speeds of 32Mbps. It also is much quieter and emits less heat than conventional hard drives. Even though they have a very diferent structure than conventional HDDs, Samsung said that they will design them to look the same, for compatibility purposes. Samsung said it will release a 1.8-inch SDD in August this year, but has developed 2.5-inch drives using 16 NAND flash memories of 4Gbit or 8Gbit densities. The 1.8-inch SDDs will also come in 4GB and 8GB flavours, Samsung said. µ Pc's should get a version somtime later on and I give our current hdd's a lifespan of about five years before these babys become the mainstream. Thanx, the Rev.

But just for the sake of arguement, would they just eventually decompose? wouldnt we just be able to hold out at a secure location long enough till they all stopped moving? they would be dead afterall? or would that be too convinient for a movie? It takes a couple months for a body to decompose in the open right? or does the virus or whatever regenerate them? lol guess thats why its only in the movies!

Knew I forgot somthing! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You also forgot all the protocalls not mentioned about acceptable losses and contagion control. Like when Hemoragic fever broke out in Cambodia in 1996 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are no acceptable losses. And as for contagion control, that is the purpose of the security perimeter for the quarantine zone. Theoreticaly, nothing biological can really be contained and theres also the possibility that you dont find the "patient zero" or the carrier that carries the virus but is not efected by it. The last year I was in the NBC corps the movie 28 days came out. That peaked the attention of a lot of people in the Centers for Disease Control. They are now planning new protocols for a similer situation. Id pray that they were Shaun of the dead zombies myself!

Knew I forgot somthing!

I know I responding to an OLD topic but heres my two cents on the zombie horde. When I was an NBC-WMD specialist in the army someone asked a colonel what was the US militarys plan on how to deal with a localized plague, virus, bacterial weapon (zombie infection and alien virus's werent in the list lol but it would fall under the same general guidelines) etc,. First, martial law would be declared and a general state of emergency issued. National guard units would be called to federal duty to surround the "infected" area. Second, guys like me, the NBC specs, would start stocking body bags, incinerators, nucleur-biological-chemical decon equipment and then meet up with a few infantry and mash units and set up a base of operations and quarantine perimeter. We would get debriefed by military and civilian personel on what the situation was and what weapons to get ready. Third, recon nbc vehicles and aircraft would be deployed to test for chemical or biological agents, ie the whatever that created the zombie horde. Rescue of civilians would be attempted as soon as a secure perimeter and plan of action is verified. MP's would be assigned to arrest/detain/shoot looters and others of low moral character. A lot of this you see in movies like "Outbreak" and "Dreamcatcher" are what the military would actually do in this case. But since we were dealing with the zombie horde, it would only be a matter of time before they would overrun quarantine zone perimeters. Im skipping some things. Last but not least, the option of a wide area (not smaller tactical nukes like in the train howitzer seen in "Return of the living dead) nucleur strike may be the presidents only option. Of course it may be just as easy to "shoot them in the head" if their the Shaun of the dead zombies and not the remade Dawn of the dead ones. Remember and feel rest assured by this. There is no such virus or bacteria that kills its host and then reanimates them into dead human canibalistic, homocidal lunatics. Only crack and herion does this lol.

I think that may work. Ill give that a go too.
