Re: April Fools!

If you have someone in your family that is always hitting the sugar bowl hard (especially in the morning), empty the sugar back into the bag and replace it with salt :snakeman:

Re: HR 833 - Federal Reserve System Changes

Here's how I see it:
Anarchism <-> Libertarianism <-> Capitalism <-> Socialism <-> Communism
Neither extreme is a good thing IMO (ie Ron Paul is one crazy mofo :shock: )

Re: Anyone know of good earbuds?

Try a set of skullcandy or v-moda. Both top notch brands. This is a pretty good site for research but they carry mostly higher end stuff.

Also might want to try in-ear monitors (IEMs), much more comfy than earbuds...

Re: Better Store?

For the most part, I like to have a physical copy of the CD and just rip that to FLAC. Get yourself a nice 80gb 5th gen iPod for cheap, stick rockbox on there and you're set.

Re: Updated L4D Server, but who cares?

I've got it set so you can connect from the lobby now and have been looking into some advertisement plug-ins. I haven't had a whole lot of time to mess with it lately but I can easily turn it into a public server; though it won't be nearly as easy to connect to. I wish steam would hurry up and relea...

Re: Cajun Crawler Exhibition 08

If you have the right tools i dont see why anyone could make one, youd just need to be very accurate Precisely why I so desperately want a CNC machine. I've got visions of an electric wheelchair with these for wheels. Even found the correct ratios that Jansen uses after a bit of research... http://...

Showoff... 8-[

I actually kinda slacked off and stopped. Seeing as this is finals week though I may as well start up again and try to get into a little better shape than round. Thanks for the reminder!

Re: Doctor , Is my Poor little USB Pen drive certified??

I've had a couple of pen drives that I thought were fubar (did the same thing as yours in gparted) that I managed to save but I'll be damned if I remember how...I think I had used the dd command to basically force it to wipe and partition the drive. I'll do some looking and see if I can recall how I...

Bet that even the long process of sanding will still be much faster than waiting for swiftech to help me. Got a response from him and he told me that my thermal paste on my blurry picture was my GPU and that it was making perfect contact. I'm sending him a video now ;) Clean off all the paste, moun...

Wonder how Kyle is getting on waiting for his parts. It's actually quite a heated 'race' with the holdups you both keep having! Kyle is currently leak-testing atm...Kyle also likes talking about himself in the third-person and hasn't had setbacks so much as a case of the lazys. Anyways, I'll update...

Connecting To The Server From The Lobby

OK I had a bit of free time today edited the server cfg a bit. It's still not perfect and I still plan on improving a few more things but it works for now. To connect to the server: setup a friends-only lobby, invite friends and switch to public as the lobby leader, pull up the console and type sv_s...

Re: campaign or vs?

It's set to campaign, Dead Air, on normal ATM. I haven't really even had time too look at the server between work and school but seeing as I finally have a car and the quarter is ending soon I should have more time to tinker with it and set it up so you can connect from the lobby.
