For those of you who don't religiously troll the VCF, I have made good on my promise to address some of the mp issues. The most significant being the porting of the networking engine and the removal of the 56K transmission cap. The Beta testers have had this version for a few days now, but I'll let them post their thoughts here. We're looking into a few quirks and hopefully this build we be released in the coming weeks.

Natalie Merchant, Tigerlily: I LOVE this CD-ROM better than her other ones. My favorite tracks are River (her dedication to River Phoenix which makes me wanna cry whenever I hear it and read the words. Truly moving stuff), Carnival and Wonder. Chris Botti, Night Sessions: If you're a fan of Chris, then you probably have this and all his other albums. Sarah Brightman, Harem: Wicked album; every track a good one; especially You take my breath away

Joyriding marines are always a problem

LMAO!!!!

Microsoft: Legit Windows or no updates

The patch is not responsible for that. If you've hosed your graphics card drivers, thats your problem.

Two more movies have been released. ucAWA_movie_011805a (planetary air/ground combat) ucAWA_movie_012005a (space combat)

heh, 3D Realms shuts down Duke Nukem based mod project

EA has finally bought DICE, developers of the Battlefield series.

I LOVE this browser!!! Anyway, enough with the fanboi stuff. Teen Helps Build Firefox Web Browser Firefox hits 20 million downloads quote: Firefox, the open-source browser which only went 1.0 in November, has this morning hit 20 million downloads. At the time of writing, the site's download counter reads "20,001,054" - it's currently averaging anything from 210,000 to 270,000 downloads every day. Asa Dotzler, from the Mozilla Foundation, said: "In seventy six days, more than sixty three thousand of you have joined the effort to deliver Firefox 1.0 to more than twenty million thankful users - you all are simply amazing! You all have demonstrated that open source community can be powerful, committed, and capable of accomplishing once-unimaginable feats." Figures show that 1.1 million people downloaded v1.0 on the day of its release. Download figures also rose to around 300,000 a day for the two days after an advert for the browser appeared in the New York Times. The download rate has remained fairly steady since the middle of November. v1.1 of Firefox is expected later this year.

An absolute riot. If you've got kids or ever been on the receiving end of a relationship with someone who has kids, you want to see this. 9/10

You probably haven't heard much about this self-funded indie by Dirty Harry 'imself; but its quite good. Then again, I have yet to see a bad Clint Eastwood movie. I thought that it dragged on a tad too long at the end, but thats only designed to stress your tear ducts I suppose. Hilary Swank is, as usual, literally flawless in her performance. 9/10

I didn't go in expecting anything other than a frame-by-frame reproduction, but thats not what they did. Its quite good and the pace is just right. If you liked the original, you will like this new remake which strays just a tad from the original and doesn't screw it up. 9/10

I released it to the mirrors last night; and some (e.g. Gamer's Hell) already have it mirrored.

The passing of a true American icon.

I fixed the links.

OK, this is funny.

The craft radar is only used to locate and acquire targets. Once a missile is armed, its own radar is used to guide it to the target. Yeah, its in the manual actually. quote: are the firing accuracies of guns determined by a combination of craft radar and visual detection?Guns have nothing to do with radar. quote: i still don't understand how the min/max radar ranges and especially the min/max launch altitudes for craft come into play. Its actually documented in the manual. In fact, there is an entire section about it. quote: is there a reference somewhere that explains, in detail, what the various craft specs mean? some are obvious to the layman, others are obscure.The appendix data is in plain English and doesn't require any further interpretation I don't think.
