  1. another idea instead of having a vote, you could just expand the rotation
  2. just remember, in the end its not how well you do on the exam, its how well you do versus your classmates; everything is on a curve
  3. de_dust <------- yes, good ol' dust; if Priscilla Chan plays CS, she would approve of my choices, unlike some other foolish mortal de_cevo_hazard cs_assault de_rotterdam de_season de_beroth_beta de_villa de_dust2 cs_militia de_cevo_tuscan de_prodigy scoutzknivez
  4. i live on the west coast (so time difference) and i usually go out to eat on saturday nights so by the time i get back (around 10pm, maybe later if there is a movie afterwards) its already over
  5. did you give the samsung a try? i'm using the 226 BW and it's fine for me
  6. if something bad happens, how long will it take to find out? i mean, will my harddrive be corrupted instantly? and normally is the computer case good enough to protect against the magnetism?
  7. what does it mean when a subwoofer is magnetically shielded? i'm planning on buying these speakers http://www.amazon.com/review/R247ONQRGEA78...#R247ONQRGEA781 but then the top review said that these speakers are not magnetically shielded so i should avoid putting them near my HD and monitor...how far should i put them? will it cause permanent dmg? does it only affect CRTs? thanks
  8. well, if you ignore the $50 dollar mail in rebate (which i know is a big sum of money but i'm just going to go on the assumption taht mail-in rebates dont work enough for you to count on them, for my computer, i had 2 successes out of 4 for rebates) ... you can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814186013 for 120 and according tom's hardware, its only less by 1.4 fps on the default benchmark (battlefield 2142) so using new egg's price... 8600 without rebate == 155 8600 with rebate == 105 7900 without rebate == 120 7900 with rebate == 100 if you count on the fact that rebates work, that extra 1.4 fps is going to cost you 5 dollars, if rebates dont work, 1.4 fps is going to cost you 35 dollars, which is quite expensive and when you buy the 8600, i think you should ditch the idea of playing games on dx10 cause you're not; i have an 8800GTS 320MB, which is a dx10 card, and i'm kinda sketchy on whether I can play dx10, judging from the benchmarks i've seen
  9. if you want to play dx10 games, dont go with a 8600GT, its performance is horrendous so yes, you can run dx10 games but you'll be running them at 5 fps (well, not that bad but you get the idea) you might as well get a really good dx9 card and probably save some money and crank up the textures or bite the bullet and buy a solid dx10
  10. you might actually get similar or better performance with a 512mb 7900 for a slightly less price....maybe
  11. i would send you food but i'm afraid i lost all my klondike bars, italian saugage, ham and cheese sandwiches, honey nut cheerios, etc. to shaft; that guy is loaded, you should ask him
  12. i think the map is office_pro but that's fun, adds more routes for the CT's to come in so its more fair and can we add rtv so when we vote for maps, we arent just presented with 3 choices: de_dust2, cs_office, cs_italy one last thing: can we make friday night a vote-your-map night where a thread opens from saturday morning to wednesday morning, and allows people to post map requests and then from wednesday night to friday morning, the maps are all gathered and set into a poll and the top 10 wins
  13. dx10 and its more secure than XP are the reasons that i know off the top of my head
  14. STEAM_0:0:7777451 00:29 128 0 active i second that, i think rennd got him though, but just to make sure
  15. any pointers on how to do it? do you just set the jump key to mousewheel and then spam it?
  16. if your car has a AUX port, just buy the wire (males on both ends) from your local walmart and plug one end to where the headphone should go on your ipod and the other end into the car; the wire should cost you around 4 dollars that's the current setup i have in my car and if you're looking for something that is both enjoyable and family-friendly, i highly suggest http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code...pid-1003754227/ it offers you a nice cool stream of music and voices that soothes the mind, calms the soul, and leaves an unforgettable experience
  17. http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/...x.php/Main_Page that could possibly help
  18. Model No: 1905FP my monitor doesnt seem to have a model number out on the front so looking at the back, this is the closest thing to an identifier that i can find, unless you can tell me what to look for specifically; to give you more of an idea to help you identify it, its a 19-inch lcd and it is sitting on a half-circle swiveling rest; the panel is black and the swiveling rest thing is silver/gray the samsung monitor that i use at work is the Syncmaster 940Be the samsung monitor i use at home is the 226BW
  19. speaking from just my experience, dell monitors are kinda crappy at work, i have 2 19-inch monitors, one dell and one samsung at first, i had the samsung one connected via VGA and the dell one via DVI and they both looked the same, more or less; then i had to change some stuff up because of my switchbox and the DVI went to the samsung and the VGA went to the dell and they were a world apart; the dell one was actually fuzzy and blurry on the desktop; of course, a normal user that didnt have the switchbox issue that i had could just use the DVI cable and be done with it but this just shows the quality difference between a samsung and a dell monitor with that in mind, i'll make the assumption that with playing games, with the dell monitor you'll get a "good" picture while with a samsung, you'll get an exceptional picture i might be biased because i am using a samsung at home
  20. if you're going to type a lot (aka do homework or work on your computer), go with an ergonomic keyboard; your wrists will thank you i'm using this right now: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseand...ls.aspx?pid=043
  21. CS-LSA go blue! Also, stacking like that was the biggest reason they got rid of it in source zester. You can stack five high in the basement of nuke and defuse the bomb in the upper bombsite, or all sorts of shenanigans. haha, i graduated cs-lsa also (only downside is you have to take foreign languages and i believe for the year after mine, you have to be "accredditted" in science or some bs) i'm not sure what year you're in but you should really really take eecs381 with t-rex kieras; its the best possible class its a shame my favorite prof who taught eecs 398 left to go work in industry this past year at the same time as my graduation
  22. offtopic: tookey, i read in another thread (the one where you got banned ) that you were a wolverine, what major are you? i graduated this past april with a degree in CS from UM
