Trackmania is fun, I used to be ranked 99 in the world

Thenior

A background program grabbing focus? Or perhaps, just causing the current window to lose focus?

Thenior

Dirt 2 is probably the most fun racing game I've played - haven't tried Dirt 3. I liked Forza III, but only played for a half hour.

Thenior

Well sure, aren't most posts on the interwebs complaints?

The last NFS I really liked was Porsche Unleashed.

Does getting wet count as misuse?

We had a bad rainstorm at work a while back, and the accounting office had water soak in from the wall - when I opened the battery up, it was very swollen.

I was asking carmatic:

Thenior

Where do you live?

Thenior

Oh, I wasn't suggesting it should be real. I wouldn't play it either. That's part of the reason I don't like Americas Army - it's too hard.

Check this out:

Been trying to understand em in CSS better, so I made this tooltip popup. Only thing that javascript does increase/decrease the font-size. Everything else automatically scales using css - no images or anything.

Yeah, BF3 is definitely not a flight sim, just like it's not a combat sim.

IRL, one hit and you're not doing so hot!

Thenior

I wonder how you'd do that though? Seems like default timeouts would get in the way.

I think he wants to delete an entire self-authored thread.

I'm pretty sure as soon as it's been up very long, or if someone has commented, you can't delete it.

Thenior

This seems like something the xbox controller would excel at.

Thenior

I thought for sure this thread would be about this motor:

I like Picasa web albums, mostly because I like Picasa as a tool.

Thenior

I didn't start playing till D3 - I think I got through the first 7 levels before using cheats. I always used to get halfway through games then use cheats

Thenior

yeah definitely not fair!

Those screens on your desk - I think I saw them at a museum once

Thenior

It won't matter soon enough, as browsers get better and everything moves to the web. Take Office 365

Thenior

Sure, but why do they fully support Mac then?

Thenior

It seriously felt like I should be playing Descent I or II with that music. I liked it

Thenior

I've had homoculus bug out on me a few times, especially in co-op

Thenior

Not to hijack the thread, but I was being serious - have a core 2 duo with a couple gigs of ram willing to go to anyone who needs it.

Thenior

why does it say that pam anderson is a popular search... lol

Thenior

You mention that: This OS uses less memory than Xubuntu with my compiz tools enabled. :o Wohoho AAAahhh! Now, I have an old brick of a computer, and am wondering how much ram it is using? Just so you know, the specs of my machine are 1.7ghz with 256mb ram. Currently running ubuntu, but s l o w l y ...

I see it

Most modern web coders are starting to implement HTML5 into their designs, with graceful degradation. HTML5 + Javascript are going to be replacing many elements of Flash.

Skittles are more tasty anyways.

I think you may be mistaken - Maya converts from Normal Maps to real polygons (geometry).

That being the case, I guess I answered my own question.

Thenior

This is pretty impressive.

Thenior

I have a thought *smells smoke* What if you used a single camera lens (mono), in (completely) dark room, with three Red, Green and Blue lights, all positioned equidistant from each other, in a triangle. http://www.pinwire.com/content_images/1/articles/normalmap/normalmap_BeethovenNormalMap.jpg Could...

x2 on what Krom said. I run the HostPro/plan at Site5. Been very impressed with the speed and support. I get 600k to 1m download speeds from the server.

I updated the touchpad drivers on my wife's laptop, and it enabled multi-touch. I thought it was kind of cool.

Thenior

I rented it on my xbox to try it - needed a silly activation key to play Multiplayer (which is the whole reason I rented it, the single player was boring). I can pay $10 for the activation key, which is associated with my xbox account, or I can buy the game and it comes with one. EA just disabled me...

Thenior

Thanks for the feedback guys. I wanted to reply earlier, but I changed my account email and got locked out. Isaac, that's a really interesting idea. Kind of like a glorified whiteboard. I've used something like that in Lync, but perhaps facilitating idea-brainstorming tools, and using a browser woul...

One thing I really appreciate about this forum is that not only are people pretty opinionated, but they can also present their opinions from a well informed perspective, and in a helpful way. People have ideas all the time. When they're at work, they think " man, it'd be nice if we had some sof...

From my understanding, the keyboard has the highest IRQ priority out of any input devices. I've had the lights on my keyboard go away when my computer momentarily freezes - so I tend to wonder if there is some other problem at work here.

What is the BSOD error?

Thenior

yeah, no one likes diseconomies of scale

Thenior

I'm not getting MW3, but thought someone else might want it. I think it's good for the weekend.

only part I am disappointed about is they aren't using the same Hulk actor...

I like to play FPS on consoles, simply because the gamepad is restrictive (a handicap). I can just get on and have fun, whereas the PC version, I get obliterated.
