These problems can be avoided by enabling HARDWARE ACCELERATION in the sound options menu.

These chat windows can be manipulated through new console commands (where 'int' is any number between 1 and 12) chat.setChatMessageSize <int> No. of lines for chat messages display chat.seGameInfoMessageSize <int> No. of lines for game info display chat.setKillMessageSize <int> No. of lines for kills info display chat.setChatHistory <int> <int> <int> Sets the no of lines for all 3 message displays at once chat.chatInfo Returns status on how many lines each message window in using. chat.OldChatListStyle <0 or 1> If set to 1, the the old (v1.2) message window model is used. chat.OldChatListHistory <int> No. of rows used if the old message window model is used -New Ignore input Commands You can ignore radio messages, radio sounds and also ignore specific players using the following commands: chat.ignoreRadioText <0 or 1> If 1, No radio text is printed. chat.ignoreRadioAudio <0 or 1> If 1, No radio sounds are played. chat.setIgnoreRadioAudioAndText <0 or 1> If 1, both radio sounds and radio text is supressed chat.getIgnoreRadioAudioAndText Prints status for these settings chat.addToIgnoreList <user id> Ignores a specific user's chatting. chat.removeFromIgnoreList <user id> Stop ignoring a specific user's chatting chat.ignoreList Returns the list of ignored players NOTE: you can find a user's ID by using the 'game.listPlayers' command in the console -Implemented TK Forgive and Punishment system. By default, players have to wait 1 extra spawn wave for every TK they commit and when they have made 5 TK's that are not forgiven they will get kicked from the server. By default, the server is in punish mode. There are 2 modes: 1) If you are killed by a teammate, you can forgive the killer. The forgive options expires when you die again (auto-punish) 2) If you are killed by a teammate, you can punish the killer. The punish options expires when you die again.

this isnt for me. i found one but apparently its not right. a friend is looking for a suitable driver for an Epson Stylus 300 on XP. i would have thought XP would install it but apparently not. anyone else using this printer on XP? got a driver to recommend? i suggested win2k drivers but thats been tried already.

1942, specially the desert combat mod watch the vids on that site, the jets are awesome

They have been messing with similar technology on Tanks and such in the British army for years (however - much more advanced using fiber optic cables on the tanks surface instead of paint). its good to actually see moving images of this kind of thing tho. Nice find LS!

you have the model number, and the FCC number. so you should find the drivers for the card by using the Manufacturers site or failing that the FCC site. NT is all for networks, you will be fine. 15 minutes? just make sure you have the drivers ready and you should easy manage that dude FCC number search

actually RAM 2 looks like it might be CAST not ram. its hard to tell with those images and not being able to see on the back of it.

ive watched a few, the great wall of china one, and out of interest i watched the one touring the UK... interesting to see what tourists think of the UK.... And thats just so not England!! hah. you seemed to bump into a lot of stereotypical Englanders on your trip. All "wot wot jolly good show!" etc. heh the other day i watched machu pichu, ive wanted to go there for a while. And the Llamas+and pipe musicians ... hehe. those guys really ARE everywhere you go

Theres a TV series starting here where they go on "holiday" to the "Axis of Evil" countries and find out more about the people and their way of life, because lets face it, Governments dont want to add a human face to the people they hate. incase they decide to bomb the crap out of them at some point. The idea is that its also then easier to paint them as backward, hate riddled people who want every westerner dead. it should prove interesting, especially the North Korea one, i didnt think Western Media where allowed in to the country to film or anything unless supervised.

what model NIC is it? if you dont know, has it got an FCC number printed on the circuit board?

server.MET you can find a list of download options here devil: http://ocbmaurice.dyndns.org/

nice find crispy, and.. what msnwar said! lol

Ariel Sharon is also a war criminal and instead of being dragged befor ethe hague and tried hes voted into power and given $5billion a year from the USA alone just to keep his country in "business" as it were. its time we spent our money on us instead of funding war criminals and terrorists, then bleating about them when we fall out with them and going to war because they wont do what we expected them to do anymore. dont forget the west helped pay and arm sadams basq party to get them into power. same with Bin laden. Poll Pot. same with Sharon? There are others too, these are the most high profile.

True that tink, very true

Xperties, Iraq is a secular state, and therefore has no official religion. Sadam himself has no religion, but has been in recent years starting to use it to gain more support from other Arab nations and from fanatics such as Bin laden. Sadam likes his women and drink too much to follow such a strict faith.

Spot the odd one out: 1) Clippy 2) John Major 3) Michael Portillo 4) sadam insane see if you can do it...

You guys hear about the war heads they found in iraq? apparently they found a stash of chemical weapon warheads.. so far none contained anything but they are well stored and packaged up, ready for use. They werent declared either. i doubt they will go to war jus over that, but if they find when the warheads where last filled and it was AFTER the gulf war, or if they find a warhead which still has chemical substance in it then....i wouldnt be in iraq if i where sadam! what you guys think?

Been trying to find a supplier for Genica products in the UK and i cant it wieghs in at 25lbs man.. it will cost a lot to ship that! if you can find their website that would be great, it doesent look like they have a European distributor :phone

$62??? WOW! now that IS a good price

Happy Birthday man, hope you have a good un!

The song is annoying as hell, but the singers aint bad, aint bad at all drooooooooool w00t

heh, i actually go to CCL its only up the road from me Can i ask why it has to be an intel CPU? very pricey, specially a 2.8ghz. you could get an AMD cpu for a LOT less money and maybe get some more ram as well or something. hell... maybe even a graphics card depending what you buy.

I was playing on a server the other day and this git starts nailing my carrier with torpedoes from a plane and then a frigate gets on my case too, anyone who knows the game will tell you the carrier has no weapons other than AA guns. nobody around to help so my solution?? "oh thats what REVERSE IS FOR!" hehe i pushed his a** all the way back onto the shallow coast and beached him. i was laughing my head off! oddly, a Uboat can sink a ship just by ramming it, it takes damage too but nothing the engineer cant fix, yet a HUGE carrier ramming a frigate has little effect other than moving it about like a rag doll

Heres my latest:

Not bad man, any one else got any good ones?
