Humans, like all amimals have only two things "built in". The desire to stay alive and the desire to reproduce. I think you'll find that humans will do a lot of nasty things to achive those afformantioned goals. In order to achive the primary goal of survival, humans must be social. I would define being social as neccesity rather than morality. Morality is such an abstract concept anyway, that I can't beleive you all of people would state that it is built into humans.

Are you using a beta (or alpha?) of Longhorn, or is that jsut your wallpaper?

Cool thanks. I allways use sh for my shell, but I like bash too.

My simple KDE desktop (Running FreeBSD 5.21) Full Resolution

Spashscreen? I think thats a Linux thing, though you could probably make one for BSD.

I have no idea how to customize a shell in unix. I'll have to learn.

That's my OpenBSD console. To me it's more exciting that my windows desktop, which is bland and messy.

Hi everyone. I can offer toadlife.net for submission hosting purposes. I can either set up an web based upload page or anonymous FTP - or both. I have tons of space and bandwidth to spare.

Truly funny stuff.

Dunno what '1000e' is but I payed $12.00 for my license when I was 18. 1200-1700USD at the moment. Where do you live?

Dunno what '1000e' is but I payed $12.00 for my license when I was 18. My first car was a 75' Honda Civic... Thats not a picture of mine, but mine was that exact model - same color just a bit more faded. It must have weighed a whole 300 pounds and the engine was so worn, it had a top speed of about 75, but I loved that peice of crap. It had about 230,000 miles on it when I got it and every major part on it was stock. The clutch was so worn, I had to bury my foot in the floorboard just to get the thing into 1st gear. The carbuerator eventualy went bad (a $50.00 job to fix) and I dumped the car on some guy for 100 bucks, because my mother "gave" me this.... ...I later paid her $5000.00 for it when I had the money. It a 94' Ford Ranger XLT - 4.0L V6. I love this one too. Probably end up buying another Ranger after I drive this one into the ground - 10 more years should do it. And then there is the wifes car. I bought this 91 Honda for her to drive to school in. It's lowered an inch or two, and really fun to drive. It only a four-banger, but Honda's little engines have a superb size/power ratio. I've gotten it up to 122MPH on the backroads.

You can nest if, the, else statements.. Here is an example... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">if (!alive soldier1) then {hint "soldier1 died"} else {if (!alive soldier2) then {hint "soldier2 died"} else {if (!alive soldier3) then {hint "soldier3 died"} else {if (!alive soldier4) then {hint "soldier4 died"}}}} Edit[/b[ Oh I see you're not trying to do what I posted. YOu probably can't put an "if" statement in the same line as an old style OFP scripting command. "If then" and "while do" statements are handled differently from other commands in flashpoint. There is a syntax error there... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">if (condition) then { something; something; if (condition) then {something;};} ..thre needs to be a space after the second (condition)

That's because there are a whole mess of syntax errors in the script. For exmaple, this section.... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? (e1) &&(e2)&&(e3)&&(e4)&&(e5)&&(e6)&&(e7)&&(e8)&&(e9) &&(e10) &&(e11) &&(e12) : {_wl=_wl+1; goto "xxx";} ...should look like this... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? e1 && e2 && e3 && e4 && e5 && e6 && e7 && amp && e8 && e9 && e10 && e11 && e12: _wl=_wl+1; goto "xxx"; You cannot put line breaks, and I think (not totally sure) you need spaces between "&&". note that I removed the brackets. They are not really needed in this case, but they can be used if you want them. ALso this part in your script... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">&&(e8) Didn't make sense to me. I assumed "amp" was another boolean condition and wrote it as so in the corrected version. Also note this section... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> {_wl=_wl+1; goto "xxx";} Was changed to this... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _wl=_wl+1; goto "xxx"; Note that "?" statement is not the same as an "if" statement. With the "?" statement the command at the end cannot be put in quotes. Only with the "if" statement do you put the resulting command in quotes. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> if (_y>1) then {_y=0} <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> ? _y>1:_y=0 Also...with standard flashpoint scripts, there is no need to terminate a line with a semicolon, as flashpoint reads standard scripts line by line anyway. I've noticed that many people with prior programming knowledge do this out of habit. I came into flashpoint with asolutely no prior programming experience, and since learning to script in OFP, I've learned other languages suchs as VBSCript and php. Only afte learning a couple of 'real' programming languages did I realize the little idiosyncrasies of OFP scripting, and why they sometimes drove many programmers nuts. Edit: Oops - fixed some syntax errors of my own! :P

Now you have your "proof" that all of these religious nuts are just that - nuts!! Your motive for this topic is quite obvious Baron.

Other problems arise from using .rar files. By default, the Apache webserver has a mime type defined for Zip files, but not for rar files. As a result, stadards compliant broswers like Mozilla try and download rar files as if they were web pages. This isn't because of a problem with Mozilla, it is because the web server is supposed to tell the web broswer what type of file it is sending. This can be easily fixed on the webserver side, but people never do it.

I know what you're saying. A couple who my Dad is good friends with own a huge chain of women clothing stores, which specialize in really expensive dresses which are designed by the wife. Quite a few years back he told me about a russian seamstress they hired to make their dresses. In the 'interview' they had her sew a dress from a pattern. The work was exemplary and they hired her for a very decnent wage - like $15 a hour. After getting the job, her work instantly became utter crap, and they were forced to fire her after a very short time. She had the the exact attitude you're describing.

I don't doubt it, but to be fair would you consider yourself as well off as Mr. Bush? If so, when can I visit your Texas ranch? I would consider myself as well off as President Bush. There is a lot more to being "well off" than money.

It seems logical to me that any government that must retain it's population by force is doing something wrong. Hundreds of Cubans die every year trying to float over to Florida in their home-made paper mache boats, and I hardly think it because they are misinformed on the virtues of their homeland's economic system. I bet Castro has a color T.V.

I agree. Both extremeare only ideals and due to human nature, neither can really exist in a society. I'm not sure what you're saying here. Communism is the absence of a free market, and private property. There is no 'rich' and 'poor' under communism. History has shown that every country which has attempted communism ends up with a few rich politicians (Dictators) and bunch of poor people. It's not the fault of communism ideal. It's the fault of the species (humans) that try and impliment it. Do you have an example of an economically succesful communist country? Edit: Horrible grammar/form

This will innevitably lead to a bunch of flaming, but I'll jump in anyway. I guess you could define communism as 'pure solcialism', but type of capitalism are we talking about? Pure capitalism can lead to a lord/serf type economy, which is ironicaly very similar to what communism can lead to - a politician/serf type economy. So what are you actually referring to when you say 'Capitalism'. Pure capitalism (unregulated), or any type? I don't know of many places on earth where pure capitalism is succesfully practiced.

How long was long? What was wrong with it? Are other Alienware customers having the same gripes? We bought five Alienware Laptops here at work. We've had to send back two of them so far. One had a flickering screen, the other's little led eyes didn't work. Both of them took three weeks to send in and get back. I could understand maybe ten days at most, but three weeks was just too much. Now mine has audio problems. The left audio channel crackles and cuts out all the time. After tons of troubleshooting, I've come to the conclusion that it's definitely a hardware problem, but since it's a non essential (for work puposes at least ) part of the computer I'm holding back on sending it in. I may as well see what else might goes wrong with it anyway before I send it. The sad part is, the laptops absolutely kick ass, performance-wise, that is when they work. Alienware's forums (I think only customers are allowed to access them) are sprinkled with similar complaints by other customers.

I can vouch for this - DON"T BUY ALIENWARE LAPTOPS. IF something goes wrong and you have to ship it back, you won't see it for a loooooooong time. As for your question, I"ve seen headphones that plug into a USB port. They came with Dragon Naturally speaking (voice recognition) software. I don't know about USB to heaphone coverters though.

Frame rate was ok on my ti4800 but it was really REALLY dark and increasing gamma in my video settings didn't help. The only interesting things about it was the size. A 96kb program that uses 350mb of memory - Microsoft should hire these guys!

Awhile back, I was playing around and made an "UBer-addon" which just an M60 only with stupid settings like 50,000 round ammo clips, and 20,000 RPM rate of fire, and played with the airateoffire too. I notice the same things. Lowering the values of the airateoffire seemed to make them fire their weapons more often. This might be something to check out - though I'm not sure if it would really be a good thing to change.
