It's OS/compiler specific. You'll have to read the compiler's manual. David Vrabel

My case occasionally resonates so I put a big, chunky maths textbook on top. About the only use that textbook's been... David Vrabel

I still find it odd but I'll take your word for it. David Vrabel

Certainly the tests would involve more than a digital voltmeter... David Vrabel ps. All PCs have used switch-mode power supplies (even my ancient PC XT had one).

This won't improve performance. All it will do is make some of the systems calls more Windows 95 like (e.g. a query of version of the OS will return WIndows 95 instead of Windows 2000). David Vrabel

Odd review. Why didn't they just measure voltage levels during use? David Vrabel

If #2 isn't getting in the tank. You might be parked to close to the repair truck or another obstacle. Try driving away a bit. David Vrabel

1. Neverwinter Nights 2. Hidden and Dangerous 2 - surprised no one's mentioned this one yet. 3. Thief 3 David Vrabel

Looks like a lack of Z-buffer precision. Either turn on the W-buffer or go back to 32bit color depth. Failing that it could be the balaclava polycount has been reduced so it doesn't fit properly anymore. Tweak settings upwards until the glitches go away. David Vrabel

Wouldn't a better solution be to kill all the background programs which are eating CPU time? David Vrabel

45. Which isn't me at all. But then none of the possible categories describes me. Generally these tests are pointless with this one being particularly so. You wouldn't catch me working for a company that does these sorts of tests. David Vrabel

To avoid problems like this I always write the CD key on the CD itself with a permenant marker. David Vrabel

It seems most people suggest moving NE to Provin and stealing a jeep from there. I did the same a Chopper415 - it's actually really easy to hide whereas taking on multiple enemies usually results in death. David Vrabel

Ignore the notes which say blow a hole in the fence with satchel charges. It's the dumbest pieces of advice ever as it alerts the whole camp/base. David Vrabel

300 m (two and a bit squares on the map). David Vrabel

And anyway do you really need such a high level of precision? It an error of 0.2%. David Vrabel

It may be on the road between the two bases. David Vrabel

Can't black ops disarm satchel charges? In single player they can disarm satchel charges they've placed themselves. David Vrabel

I know the packet is smaller, and is faster, but reliability might be compromised.....well, never happened to have problem with current tech...but i'd still prefer connection-oriented TCP.......<span id='postcolor'> TCP is not appropriate for most of the data being sent. Updates of the game state need to arrive in a timely manner. In TCP a single delayed (or lost) packet will cause all subsequent packets to be delayed (TCP provides an ordered stream) which is unacceptable. With UDP you can just drop late arriving packets and ignore the odd lost packet. David Vrabel
