uhm, keep it clean please. And remember, every kook with a conspiracy theory, deserves to be flogged.

If you don't want your threads deleted, try to give a subject that is indicative of the content matter. And not, that ad will never air. At least not on US tv stations. Even cable would be stretching it without the FCC having a coronary. But then again, since the whole country has gone to sh*t, who knows?

Like I said. It works just fine. Hyperspace doesn't go missing. You are either in it or you're not.

Works fine. Please read the manual on how and when it actually works.

Anyone heard of this? I only just came across it.

LOL!!! Uwe kicks lowtax a$$

Jack Thompson Thinks He's Jesus

uhm....

Oh yeah, that skit was freaking hilarious.

I'm a big Jet Li fan. So this was a no-brainer. It was quite good fun. Sad thing is now that he has turned 43, he says that this is the last epic combat movie that he's doing. Whatever that means. 10/10

Yeah, it looks interesting. As for Jericho. heh, TV Guide lists it as one of the first to be cancelled in the new shows.

This is not game related, but since it seems to be happening a lot recently, I decided to post this for you folks. Especially seeing that a search on Google reveals nothing but complaints and no resolution. This is simple. It is not HW related. Basically those folks at ATI conveniently forget that once in a while, files get removed from the OS by a variety of software tools, installers etc. So, in their infinite wisdom, the more recent ATI drivers, fail to copy some needed files and just conveniently assume that they already exist. The end result of this? Sometimes you will get a Zero Display Service Error when installing drivers. Even though the drivers do eventually install, you may experience all manner of problems, especially when running 3D games. Yesterday I decided to install the Catalyst 6.9 drivers. And for the first time, I got this error. A quick search on Google revealed solutions ranging from the absurb to the you-gotta-be-on-crack-to-think-that-works solutions. So, I decided to go tinkering to find the cause. After almost two hours of screwing around with the machine, I finally found how to get around it. ...and it ain't pretty. As always, your mileage may vary. And if you try this and screw it up, you're on your own because not even a Rabi will be able to help you. Download Driver Cleaner Pro and install it. Download the latest Catalyst drivers and install them. Make a note of where the installer copies the files. You will get this error. Just ignore it and continue. Do not reboot when prompted Fire up MSCONFIG (start/run then type msconfig). Go to startup and disable everything. Go to services, then hide all MS services and disable everything. This will disable all except for the MS services. Click OK Reboot when prompted. Back at the desktop, just ignore the message from MSCONFIG or close it (without rebooting!!) if it bothers you. Go to Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and remove the ATI stuff in this order. (1) drivers (2) Control Panel (3) uninstall utility. Do NOT reboot until ALL THREE have been uninstalled. Boot into Safe mode (F8). Be sure to click Yes when prompted. Fire up Driver Cleaner and run it. Remove ALL the ATI related stuff; even if you don't have it. You can do it all in one shot as well by selecting the multiple option. Do NOT reboot. Fire up Windows Explorer and go to C:Windowssystem32. Do a search (enable the advanced options and tick every option) for ati*.dll. Here is where you're going to have a heart attack. You can either delete all these files or move them to a temp location. The idea is that you want to remove these files. Backing them up first is entirely up to you; which - at this point - is a wasted effort. Still in Explorer, search in *.inf files for the text ATI Technologies Inc. You might find one or two (e.g. OEM2.INF, OEM13.INF etc.). Delete both the .inf and the .pnf file. You can also move them to a backup folder if you want. Go to the properties of My Computer, over to hardware/device manager, left-click on the display adapters and uninstall it. If you have more than one, remove both. Reboot. Once again, ignore the MSCONFIG warning When Windows boots up and says that it has found new hardware, do NOT let it search online for a driver. Instead, tell it that you want to search for your own driver at a known location. Browse to this folder C:ATI6-9_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_35774Driver or wherever the driver was previously installed by the ATI installer in step #2. Windows will do this twice, depending on if your ATI video card installs a secondary display adapter or not. Since you already told it where to find a driver for the primary display device, it will use that same driver for the secondary display device. So you don't have to do anything else at this point. Except maybe pray? Reboot whether or not you were prompted to do. Browse to C:ATI6-9_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_35774WDM_ALL and run the setup.exe program. Do NOT reboot. Browse to C:ATI6-9_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_35774ACE and run the setup.exe program IF you want the ATI Control Panel as well. Reboot After you've checked that everything is fine. Go into MSCONFIG, re-enable everything and reboot as normal.

Activewin's extensive Vista review

I watched it last night. I dunno, it looks like yet another Invasion meets Threshold meets Surface. All three of which were ultimately cancelled due to low ratings. Before we figure out wtf is going on in the world of Jericho, they would have turned it into a character driven soap opera. Without or without aliens. Since the networks wouldn't dare put out another alien themed TV show, my guess is that this plot is either about the end of the world or terrorist attacks. It won't last one season. Two at the most. You heard it here first.

uhm, yeah

Hypernia is finally wrapping up their serve move, so expect some servers to be off-line intermittently in the next couple of days. Everything should be cleared up by the weekend.

Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat. If you aren't laughing out loud by the time you get to "Milk Duds," your sense of humor is broken. "Now this message is for America's most famous athletes: Someday you may be invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your country's most powerful fighter jets. Many of you already have . John El way, John Stockton, Tiger Woods to name a few. If you get this opportunity, let me urge you, with the greatest sincerity... Move to Guam. Change your name. Fake your own death! Whatever you do . Do Not Go!!! I know. The U.S.Navy invited me to try it. I was thrilled. I was pumped. I was toast! I should've known when they told me my pilot would be Chip (Biff) King of Fighter Squadron 213 at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach. Whatever you're thinking a Top Gun named Chip (Biff) King looks like, triple it. He's about six-foot, tan, ice-blue eyes, wavy surfer hair, finger-crippling handshake -- the kind of man who wrestles dyspeptic alligators in his leisure time. If you see this man, run the other way. Fast Biff King was born to fly. His father, Jack King, was for years the voice of NASA missions. ("T-minus 15 seconds and counting ..." Remember?) Chip would charge neighborhood kids a quarter each to hear his dad. Jack would wake up from naps surrounded by nine-year-olds waiting for him to say, "We have a liftoff." Biff was to fly me in an F-14D Tomcat, a ridiculously powerful $60 million weapon with nearly as much thrust as weight, not unlike Colin Montgomerie. I was worried about getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was something I should eat the next morning. "Bananas," he said. "For the potassium?" I asked. "No," Biff said, "because they taste about the same coming up as they do going down." The next morning, out on the tarmac, I had on my flight suit with my name sewn over the left breast. (No call sign -- like Crash or Sticky or Leadfoot ... but, still, very cool.) I carried my helmet in the crook of my arm, as Biff had instructed. If ever in my life I had a chance to nail Nicole Kidman, this was it. A fighter pilot named Psycho gave me a safety briefing and then fastened me into my ejection seat, which, when employed, would "egress" me out of the plane at such a velocity that I would be immediately knocked unconscious. Just as I was thinking about aborting the flight, the canopy closed over me, and Biff gave the ground crew a thumbs-up. In minutes we were firing nose up at 600 mph. We leveled out and then canopy-rolled over another F-14. Those 20 minutes were the rush of my life. Unfortunately, the ride lasted 80. It was like being on the roller coaster at Six Flags Over Hell. Only without rails. We did barrel rolls, snap rolls, loops, yanks and banks. We dived, rose and dived again, sometimes with a vertical velocity of 10,000 feet per minute. We chased another F-14, and it chased us. We broke the speed of sound. Sea was sky and sky was sea. Flying at 200 feet we did 90-degree turns at 550 mph, creating a G force of 6.5, which is to say I felt as if 6.5 times my body weight was smashing against me, thereby approximating life as Mrs. Colin Montgomerie. And I egressed the bananas. I egressed the pizza from the night before. And the lunch before that. I egressed a box of Milk Duds from the sixth grade. I made Linda Blair look polite. Because of the G's, I was egressing stuff that did not even want to be egressed. I went through not one airsick bag, but two. Biff said I passed out. Twice. I was coated in sweat. At one point, as we were coming in upside down in a banked curve on a mock bombing target and the G's were flattening me like a tortilla and I was in and out of consciousness, I realized I was the first person in history to throw down. I used to know cool. Cool was Elway throwing a touchdown pass, or Norman making a five-iron bite. But now I really know cool. Cool is guys like Biff, men with cast-iron stomachs and freon nerves. I wouldn't go up there again for Derek Jeter's black book, but I'm glad Biff does every day, and for less a year than a rookie reliever makes in a home stand. A week later, when the spins finally stopped, Biff called. He said he and the fighters had the perfect call sign for me. Said he'd send it on a patch for my flight suit. What is it? I asked. "Two Bags."

An updated GameCQ version is now available from the file downloads area. Just install on top of your current version. Or you can uninstall and re-install it. This has some registry fixes which solves an issue with sometimes not being able to join a UCAWA/UCSE game from within the lobby because the 'PLAY' button was not activated due to the incorrect registry setting. This is for both UCAWA and UCSE.

I love House. Since it clashes with NCIS, I just watch NCIS and Tivo House.

It is already set to 10 mins

Thanks for pointing it out. I've rebuilt the forum index files and everything is cleared now. The m'****ers who do this have gotta be dumb asses to not realize that it takes all of five minutes to clear up crap like this.

uhm, why did you post that, like, four hours later? I noticed it as soon as he did it and cleared it all up.

Can someone please turn off the lights when the last person leaves the building? Another bites the dust. Well, pretty much.

I'm a big Brian de Palma fan, so going to see this one was a no brainer. Its got quite a few twists and the whole 'thing' isn't revealed until the end, which, itself is quite shocking to say the least. Great acting all around and quite a good film noir. It was a bit longer than it needed to be, but when you think about it, if they had made it any shorter, that would have ruined most of the film. 9/10

Last night I was planning to go and see Hollywoodland but while I was there getting a ticket, I noticed that The Guardian has a sneak peak. So I switched. This movie will move you in so many ways. I absolutely loved it and plan to see it again. Mr. Demi Moore (aka Ashton Kutcher) was actually very good in it too. Now that he's no longer on TV, it looks like he's fast moving up the movie career rung. A must see; even if you don't like either of the character leads. 10/10
