Some people sure know how to tear up other peoples good work. I think he's a horses arse personally.

I'm only seeing a $8,000 bid. Anyway, I say good for him. It is definetly underhanded, and definetly there to make money, but ehh, whats so wrong with that?

Good to hear, Derek. I'm looking forward to it.

I find that using AdAware in combination with another program called Spybot - Search & Destroy usually works pretty well. Both can be acquired from www.download.com AdAware will pickup on stuff that Spybot won't and vica versa. Also, be sure that your updating your spyware definition files in both programs. Since your running WinXP that pretty much rules out memory leaks. Very odd issue you have though.

There aren't any bugs with Resnig. He is just generally the whipping boy because, well, he just is. No matter what his AI it always seems he is screwing things up. (That and the commanders never admit it's their fault so it defaults to Resnig). As far as your slowdown is concerned I recommend checking for spyware. That's the death of many computers these days and people don't realize to even check for it. It can be extraordinarily damaging to a system.

The silence is broken as the opening shot is fired. :climbs the highest mountain he can find, raises his arms towards the sky as thunder clouds are gathering around him and says, "It has begun!": Good luck, SC. Though I think DC needs it more than you do. ;-)

No, we would win, the price would be high, but in the end, we would win.Jaguar, as much as I agree with you, I must point out that almost 50% of the American public went ape over this whole thing with Iraq which was non-nuclear. Do you think any president would possibly be able to survive the first nuclear weapons release since WW2? I highly doubt it and with the politicians we have coming through the pipes these days I bet they'd be more willing about their arses and reelection then dropping a nuclear weapon to win a war...can you imagine the CNN footage? The US would be condemed worldwide...

Elio, nice link. I am wondering how in the hell this game didn't get picked up on my radar....

That was such a cheapshot SC.

Son of a gun! Delayed till Q4! http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/piratesofth...ws_6087050.html

I wasn't really impressed by this game. I mean, the graphics were great...but the AI just charged me and allowed me to snipe them before they really returned fire. Furthermore, there really is nothing to do....you shoot guys...I wasn't really able to find much destroyable scenery or anything...

Another thing Jag, while your pretty much accurate that China isn't particularly a nuclear threat to us, you have to also remember how large their army and civilian population is. A war with China would be...devestating and it really is a toss up to who would win it. I have no illusions about the US Armed forces. The US Armed forces is easily the most powerful military to ever exist. But, even with that going for us, an 8 to 1 manpower ratio would be hard to stand up to. It would be a massive war of attrition and in such a war China would win. In my opinion.

Auron from FFX.... He rocks and my personality is a lot likes his...it just...fits. :-)

The heat is still on for the folks that stole the code. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3414157.stm

Which is why I pay OTHER people to work on it. :grins: That way I can buy a poorly designed car, and not have to thrown wrenches...

I agree Jaguar. I think it's not only likely but probable we already have space based weapons of some kind. I mean, it's the only logical progressive step really...

I too play female characters. In a sense, it's the ultimate roleplaying experience to play the opposite sex as you have to do EVERYTHING different pretty much. It adds a huge challenge IMHO.

I am just kinda sticking my nose into this because I'm curious about something. I hear many of you saying that Bush's speech was lackluster, his plans laughable, yada, yada, yada. I'm not hearing any better suggestions though. What do you, those who believe Bush is failing, propose the US do exactly?

http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/01/19/s...reut/index.html The way I see it, we have the edge....we've been training for space warfare since the early 90s. :-)

I saw this earlier. I thought it was hysterically funny and I only hope that this kid isn't just creating this as an elaborate hoax. If he is NOT, then I say he should stay with it till the end, maybe he'll get lucky and show Microsoft what's up...

Geez, I gotta start playing TSO again...errrr...emmm...I mean... Seriously though, it does sound like things have become quite interesting there. When I used to play it was like a giant carebear hellhole...

Makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the XBOX world. I feel a disturbance in the force....

I agree, but damn that is cool.

Definite PM material, bud. I'd hide if I were you.
