Maybe this will settle a few debates – the official box art:
You do know it’s not on the box of the other three editions right?

at least you have a clue unlike these idiots. I love some of their responses to the interviewer’s questions.Curious as to why very few media outlets actually covered it. My understanding is that MSNBC didn’t show anything about it and CNN gave an extremely lowball estimate of how many people were there.
I hate to bring race into it but if everyone there was black and demonstrating in support of Obama the media coverage would have been a good deal different.
Nickname said:
no no i understand that, but the fact is him yelling out during the speech *edited*ed off 100% of democrats and probably 70-80% of independents, which pretty much guarantees he loses an election.Regardless of whether or not he’s right?
Nickname said:
so with over half of the population hating the guy… worst choice EVER for presidential candidate (unless you want to give the democrats the election of course)The only people hating the guy right now are those with their heads in the sand. Listen to the murmuring when Obama lied the first time, every Republican in that room wanted to say something but none did.
Btw, since when did being vocal against the president on national TV become something that’s frowned upon? Just a few months ago it was something that would get you elected…

Just because you’ve had problems with macs doesn’t mean they aren’t as good.Yeah that argument used to work but gradually over time the “you’ve” has become a “we’ve”.
The real litmus test for this is whether or not you believe Macs have superior hardware or that Windows runs better on a Mac. If you believe either then there’s no saving you from Macfag retardation.

what is the server so i can connect to itgaming.wcu.edu is not shoiwing up
The server address is gaming.wcu.edu

My mac pro DOES us FBDIMM. Shows what you know.I didn’t say yours didn’t, I said it was old by MP standards. DDR2 that slow hasn’t been used on the last several xeon generations and the current gen uses SO-DIMM DDR3. You’d be surprised what I know.

Work IT for a few years? I’m a certified computer technician my friend, because you’re the one who has no clue.What certs? I have a few myself…

I bought my mac pro in 08, contains 2 4870s (which I recently bought), 16gb fbdimm ram, and 2 quad xeon 3ghz cpu’s. Maybe YOu should try the research and experience technique, like I have.My mac pro is the last generation mac pro, and it uses Fully Buffered DDR2 ECC FB-DIMM ram. Even GOOGLE could have saved you from making an *edited* of yourself there.
You talking about the Xeon X5365? If so you’re talking about early 2007. Last I checked this is over 2 years later. Now maybe Apple doesn’t release newer models every year, idk, but I do know that if 2.5 years old is the “last generation” then you’ve got a LONG way to go before obtaining bragging rights about your purchase.

Bash the price all you want, but I chose stability, warranty, and reliability for my buck.For someone who a few posts back was lecturing us on how to buy a barebone system and then build it up, you’ve got alot of nerve telling us that Macs, which are pretty much the LEAST customizable computers, have greater stability, warranty, and reliability. Apple doesn’t offer a free 3 year to lifetime warranty on their computers. That’s what mine came with…

Teamspeak 2.(insert applause)
There’s no such thing as Teamspeak 2.
We’re currently using Teamspeak 2 RC2.

On a side note: MasterP, you have no clue what you’re talking about on the subject of macs. You have to be the biggest moron alive to crash a mac, I’ve been using them for my development for years, and all 3 of my macs own.That’s nice. I’ve been working directly in IT for 5 years now and it’s extremely rare to be able to actually fix a serious OSX problem. Any Windows problem is easily recoverable and you never lose files, even after a full format, but when a Mac dies it dies hard and typically takes all the user’s files with it.
Here’s an example: Unmountable boot volume / corrupt partition
For Windows – toss in any Windows disk and run chkdsk. Still doesn’t boot so you do a fixboot/fixmbr or repair install/SFC and it works.
For Mac – toss in an OSX disc, realize you’ve got one that doesn’t work on that newer version of Macbook. Call user, wait for them to bring in discs. Put disc in and repair disk and permissions. Still doesn’t work. What do you do now oh genius of Mac? How do you get the machine to boot again WITHOUT reinstalling the OS?
Hint: You can’t. So you do a non-destructive reinstall, only the partition is still corrupted because the mac chkdsk doesn’t fix that. So not only do you have to reformat and lose all the user’s files but you also just lost this argument.
Thriller RiZzle said:
Macs aren’t “75%” more expensive. Not if you know how to buy them.So you do admit they are if you buy them from Apple… what was you’re argument again?
Btw Mike, think about it. The base 17″ Macbook Pro costs $2500 while the equivalent Dell Studio costs $1300.
When you add 90% of $1300 back into $1300 you get $2470. Thus the Macbook Pro is 90% more than the Dell equivalent. QED my friend.
Thriller RiZzle said:
Buy only the skin and bones from apple themselves, than by your extra FBDIMM RAM at macdeals or some *edited* to save a load of money.Thanks for telling us you don’t know what type of RAM is used in the current (or last) generation of Macs. FBDIMM? That’s DDR2 dude. lol
Thriller RiZzle said:
Macs are still a little more expensive, but for a superior and more stable OS, which takes better advantage of your hardware to develop I have no problem paying for it.So you’re telling me the $1200 price difference between the 17″ Macbook Pro and 17″ Dell Studio is worth it because the OS is better? I know Canadians are different but *edited* if that’s not just stupid.
Thriller RiZzle said:
Shame….after all this time, there’s still that one PC fanboy who keeps throwing the price card and the “their not as stable as you think” card….shame on you…just…shame on you.Go work in IT a few years then come lecture me about which OS is better. Until then just keep quiet because you really don’t know wtf you’re talking about.
k thnx

but yeah i can see those ideas working and it will be unique since i personally havent seen it used in a server before so its something to look forward to seeing if it works outNothing we discussed above currently exists.
YouWinGameOver said:
where is download at so i dont dl viruses?I would be a smart *edited* about googling but…
YouWinGameOver said:
…so what are we actually using so that I can decide whether or not to dl the program.Teamspeak.
Thriller RiZzle said:
No…its not. It actually does.Your TS server at Speex25 sounds better than our TS server at Speex25???
lol?
Lemm said:
yeah that does sound like a better idea and easier to code cus I could use rtv as a template for itThat was my thinking.
Better than that would be to code in a variant of rtv, something like “skipnext”. If half the server types in skipnext it skips the nextmap.
Another good one would be to do the same thing with the map currently in play, something like “skipmap”. That way you can get off the current map without jumping ahead in the rotation.

my steam id is HgCArkork ill check for the invite later on.If you join WCU’s steamgroup you’ll be able to see our server listed on the L4D main menu and join if there are slots open.
As with all our other servers, anyone on a UNC campus should get
Keep in mind lowering the minimum percentage is something that’s universal. Making it like 30% to start a mapchange vote would help on the maps you dont want to play but if a few people get upset on dust2 it’ll work the same way there.
We have to find a balance.
Lemm said:
seriously though how did you get 14 copies..I had 3 active MSDNAA accounts when Windows7 was made available on it.
XP Mode will not play games that require hardware acceleration.
This is not a Windows7 problem because I’m running it and everything’s fine. Maybe some of your new hardware is bad.
Thriller RiZzle said:
All the same though, I would STRONGLY suggest using Mumble/Murmur. The voice quality trumps Teamspeak, and bandwidth usage trumps vent. If I personally could get a mumble server to run, I’d be using it as well.Mumble is many times more complex than TS and doesn’t come with the administration features that TS does without jumping through additional hoops.
It sounds better than TS because it uses Speex 45 which their own site says doesn’t sound much better than Speex 25. It uses less bandwidth than Vent because Vent uses GSM which is terrible in that regard.
It just seems like alot more of a hassle with alot less benefit. The voice quality isn’t realisticly inferior and on a 100Mbit unmetered connection bandwidth doesn’t really matter.
Server is up at gaming.wcu.edu. Since it’s on the default port you don’t have to even put one in.
I have created the same channels as the simpweb had for the club, plus a few extras.
Raven: Teamspeak’s free-use license only allows for 1000 slots per physical server. If you allow for more than that you have to register it and pay licensing fees, whether the slots are used or not. Something to keep in mind.
