  1. I have no experience with the domain process. What is the purpose of locking/unlocking domains? If they have to be unlocked before you can transfer them why not just leave them unlocked all the time. Plus surely this is all automated, I can't imagine employees filling out a bunch of forms for each domain and mailing them somewhere.
  2. Didn't TT do one of those classic leaving threads?
  3. DON'T WATCH IT!!11shift1shiftpne Watership down is like the most depressing film ever.
  4. 468x60 you say? http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/1993/banneradbp7.jpg Another: (found on one of those top100 sites) http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/2020/ssbanner1vi2.jpg Old: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8334/getssnowbanneranimgs5.gif BTW I didn't make these.
  5. It's upside down and I doubt it has cloaking technology.
  6. What actually happened to the domains anyway? Did they all get automatically bought by squatters or what? Isn't there several days "cool off" period that allows the original owner to rebuy it before squatters can move in?
  7. I think it can, but it messes up word do!@#$%^&*ents when you open them so the do!@#$%^&*ent needs reformatting. Once I remade a table of contents, but it used some arbitrary font, so I had to change the style of each part of the TOC (each subsection level had non-linked style settings). In the end I think it still didn't match the font of the rest of the do!@#$%^&*ent.
  8. (I don't know why this topic was locked, no reason has been given so I'm reopening it). I just tried PrimoPDF, it phones home with a 20 second timeout. I don't know what it's actually doing I blocked it from using the internet.
  9. I can only imagine ego strokers coming to you. As a reporter you should go out and find people that you think would make good reading.
  10. You could say using the opposite equal reaction thing that the block moves 4cm back and the bullet penetrates the remaining 4cm (so it would have travelled the same distance as before). I think the bullet must penetrate, imagine a paper bag inflated. If you blow on it, it will deform and move away from you. Obviously the wood is not as weak as air surrounded by paper, but from the example you could say all materials deform. That then leads us to look at the hardness properties of the block and the bullet. What if the bullet was made of paper and the block from diamond? I don't think it would penetrate in that case.
  11. Looks better, would be nice if the width was still stretchy. Are you keeping it fixed width just because of the banner?
  12. Bump.
  13. What terrier? It looks too much like blood to me, and I'm not the only one with an LCD screen so don't say it looks fine to you.
  14. [Moved to Feedback and Support forum, where forum requests belong]
  15. What's so lame about these new adverts is Valve don't even pay for the 1.6 servers, they are community run. The steam login and VAC ban system work across steam and are not unique to 1.6 so cannot be used to justify adverts. The only reason I can think why they added adverts is because some time ago a company illegally added adverts to 1.6, which were shortly removed after an "agreement" with valve. Presumably this agreements is what has caused this new round of ads to spring up. Just a few more notes. Server owners do add textures/decals to walls or hanging in the air to promote their clans. This is done by using server side mods or modified maps. These aren't on every server and do not have a commercial purpose. I believe ads have no place in FPS such as counter strike. However I don't have a problem with ads appearing in life simulators such as the sims or second life since they are trying to imitate the real world. I play FPS to run and shoot, not to get schizophrenic and sell low poly furniture.
  16. Weee. Uh yeah I thought it was ExS not ExQ.
  17. Too bright, make the bg light gray or something.
  18. Halo 3?
  19. On a side note can you make it so when you click on reduced size images it expands to full size instead of opening a new window. I know other forum software can do this.
  20. I think the ATI catalyst drivers have a "control panel" that requires microsoft .net to be installed. However I think the control panel is optional and you can just install the driver part. Some hearsay is that x1300 sucks and you can buy mobo's with PCIe that is actually slower than AGP... anyway they're just things I overheard people say. So don't make any decisions based off that without checking the facts. When I wanted a new graphics card the only research I did was find a cheap one that implemented directx 9.0c. I ended up getting an x700 which as a bonus is passively cooled - no fan.
  21. I can't untrain anyone or train any untrained mercenaries :/
  22. Surely army size doesn't matter, it looks like you can only attack armies of a similar size to your own. This would mean people like you can mess around with huge armies and beginners and more casual players can trundle along with smaller armies.
  23. Woo I got 5 turns now.
  24. Emos
  25. More attack moaning here: http://forums.sscentral.com/index.php?showtopic=13328
