Unfortunately, the only reliable means of getting action from the execs is to *edited* them off.
They’ll hate you for it but whatever needs doing will actually get done.
Not yet, anyway.
Anytime you hear a drowning sound it’s definately connection related. Remember that the Orangebox engine is extremely unforgiving of an unstable or lossy internet connection and even a 10ms loss can take 500-2000ms to recover from. Rather than treat it as a temporary loss and readjust the game world based on data from the next server tick, as the old HL2/CSS engine did, it completely flushes the game world and redownloads the entirety of it from the server. On populated TF2 and any L4D this can take a LONG time. In L4D2 it’s not unusual for a 5-10ms server “hiccup” to take 10-15 seconds for everyone to catch up.
Are you using campus wireless? If so then yeah, that’s definately the problem. Even with 4 bars their wireless connections are unstable at best.
At the time I was looking at the Daniel Defense M4v3 midlength with included vertical grip and omega rail.

Now I’m looking at a Saiga in 7.62mm. Saiga because they’re typically new and the import quality is much higher than civilianized AKs. I’d much prefer an M4 but I can get a new Saiga-762 locally for less than $350 and bulk ammo is significantly cheaper than 223/556. I hear it’s also better for hunting if SHTF.
My dad is also eyeing the Saiga-12. He wants a new 12 gauge and likes the idea of magazines and drums. Perfect example of why you should push your parents to play FPS games, they’ve got the money to buy the coolest toys.
We’ll be there too before it’s over with. Busses, trains, and walking.
Tbh, I’d take a train over airplane any day. By the time you spend 2 hours getting through security (IE legally sanctioned sexual assault) and an hour waiting on your luggage the train really isn’t that much slower unless you’re going cross country. Factor in a 120V AC outlet, cheap first class upgrades and unlimited drinks in it, comfortable seating, and the ability to bring your own food and uhm yeah. Maybe the Euros do know wtf they’re doing.
Interesting fact, NC is the only state where Amtrak is turning a profit. Apparently the Raleigh-Greensboro-Charlotte route is extremely popular.
If eating healthy had anything to do with weight loss the US wouldn’t have as many fat people as it does. There’s alot more to weight than how you eat because there’s alot more going on than simply digestion and nutrition.
How you manage other factors like metabolism is just as important as the food you eat.
It’s not what he’s eating so much as how often. There’s been alot of research recently that’s shown that eating breakfest within an hour of waking up and then a small “meal” every 3-4 hours throughout the day can dramatically help in weight loss. Apparently when you wait until you’re truely hungry the body changes the matabolism rate so that more of the food you eat is stored (fat) as opposed to if you eat when you’re only slightly hungry. You also eat less because you’re only mildly hungry and it takes much less food to feel “full”. Since the metabolism stays in “burn mode” all day, you actually burn more calories and store less as fat.
Of course, the ADA has labelled all that as science fiction. Far be it for someone not on their payrole to come up with a healthy way to eat
Mechwarrior? Why does everyone think that anything mechanized is like mechwarrior? This isn’t even close. The closest this comes to mechwarrior is their powered infantry suits, which almost every sci-fi series has.
This sort of thing would be extremely useful in non-combative roles in the military, even with the tethered power source.
Lemm is just upset that forum posting is down.
What he should be upset about is Clausen opening for the Panthers on Sunday.
Does the genesis emu play the larger roms like sonic3+knuckles or just the smaller ones?
I know the DS emulators have all kinds of trouble playing the larger SNES and SGEN roms.
So I ordered a couple boxes of Federal HST ammo. It’s really hard to get because the manufacturer limits their sale to law enforcement only due to their “unique” expansion and stopping power. Only way non-cops get it is if someone cancels an order.
Any takers on whether or not it actually ships?
Being that I absolutely hate sony products and refuse to own one I’m not really qualified to give you a step-by-step.
I would recommend you poke around here:

so i know you are the homebrew king, you know anything about running emulators on the psp? specifically the psp-2000 OFW 5.51
PSP has always had a decent homebrew community, more coders chose to play with it because it’s essentially a mobile PS2 but the virtually non-existant security on the DS has significantly leveled the playing field.
What kind of emulator you looking for?

My understanding is that they don’t give a *edited*, so why should we?
He doesn’t care about the servers? Isn’t his primary job to oversee them?
Maybe I’ll just turn them all off and see how long it takes for them to notice <_>

I thought PS3s were supposed to be reliable? I mean you pay that much for it, it *edited* well better be reliable.
wait you know people pay a LOT more for computers right? and aren’t they less reliable?
I was referring to consoles. The PS3 has always been touted as being extremely reliable but in recent years that’s proven to not be the case. It’s better than the 24% failure of the 360, but still, 10% isn’t really something to brag about.
Yes it has but the problem is that alumni and nonstudents have grown tired of being vilified, ridiculed, and slandered and it’s to the point where virtually none of us are willing to lift a finger to help unless specifically asked to do so. If the servers suffer then so be it, someone should have cared enough to at least ask for help.
Now obviously someone’s been talking to him about this because he just updated his servers less than an hour ago but that doesn’t change the fact that neither of them is properly configured. Hell one is still a stock install without a config file and has the default server name of “Team Fortress”.

It’s still a challenge because the monsters that spawn are based on your character level, regardless of what dungeon you’re in (mostly). Even with pimped gear, uniques are still moderately hard to beat.
I played to endless dungeon lvl 40 or something like that and switched to using cheats to fashion my own items. I backed up my savedgames though incase I ever wanted to go legit again.
You’d be surprised how good your items can get with the ability to spawn any base item you want and unlimited money and gems to craft/imbue until you get the traits you want.
