That turned out wonderful but now you have to dust it all
The only change i would have made to the design would be a double monitor bay, but i looks like you could fit two normal sized screens in there if you waneted.
Speaking of how do you like your monitor? i'm shopping for one right now... I've tried a couple 40" lcd tvs, but they looked pixelated and i noticed any kind of motion leaves a ghost "trail" behind it. (maybe that's my gfx card and not the screen?)

I've got a huge chair for comfort, just removed it for the picture because it's hideous. Heh those toons were funny as hell! I think this may only be temporary for me as I may be returning to the office eventually. It's definitely easier to focus at the office.

Darn. I have rooted a friend of mine's HTC One. (There are also UNROOT instructions floating around the webernetz) Cyanogen > Any stock OS.
It doesn't use any bloat ware. Whatever is on the phone is put there by you. I have an S4 now and I'm pretty close to rooting it because I've come across a few recurring bugs that are quite annoying.
Haven't set aside the time is my only excuse for not rooting it so far.

Its for the ATT network. Not sure if it's compatible with other carriers - I don't know how that works. If you buy, i'll even throw Cyanogenmod on the phone for you

I'd also recommend an Android over an iPhone. I went from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3 and I couldn't believe the difference. IF you get any older android phone, its probably best to root it and put Cyanogenmod on it. The level of control you have over your phone is insane - and it's stable to boot.
I have an old blue Galaxy S3 i'm not using. I'm willing to sell for the right price

@PB: Such as... what? i...diots? i...mpossible things? i... don't know what? Couldn't come up with anything
Besides, it covers for any new things they can come up with. But I guess we could make it ^i[A-Z][a-z]*$ if you prefer
@captain: Actually, not here. I'm not in the States, I remind you. They don't offer iPhones with any plan here, it seems you have to get your own if you want one.
I'll try to find out what the internet costs are for my plan, maybe I can use this for... stuff.

Iphones are pretty terrible. I haven't used one since the 4s, so I can't properly judge the 5, but I have no reason to think they've improved, and they're certainly not worth the price tag. Get a Galaxy S3. Relatively very cheap now that the S4 is out and it's almost on par with my old pc in terms of power and capability.

I can finally enter these discussions, as my dad just gave me his old iPhone when he got a new one. Or at least I can when I get a sim card that fits it. At least I won't have to carry around a phone and an iPod.
I do look forward to being able to check my emails whenever, instead of when I happen to pass through a WiFi area.

Maybe i just never had a good android phone, but i feel like the iphone is WAY better in terms of general reliability compared to Android.
I'd liek to root(htc rezound shit phone), but idk i cbf, and besides i just want a phone that works and doesn't freeze for no reason, nothing fancy! (so i will be upgrayeding to iPhone my next upgrayedd cycle.
I don't care if my phone is locked down, as long as it works. I mean it's a phone ffs what do you really need to do besides text/talk and social media bullshit? And, can't you jailbreak it if you want to fuck around anyway?

Learn to regex, Stu! You want ^i.*$ or better yet ^i(Phone|Pad|Pod|Tunes|OS)$ so you can filter out non-apple things that start with i
On a related note, I have an iPhone (work phone) and it's awful. After experiencing the blissful freedom of an Android tablet, the general shittiness and infinitely locked-down experience of the iPhone is just really fucking terrible. I'd much prefer a WinPhone over an iPhone, but Android is miles ahead of both in terms of features, user experience, and general non-crappiness.
Ant tells me that I only like Android because I'm a programmer but really it's because he's an Apple fanboy and doesn't realise how shit iOS is

And I thought I'm outdated with my Samsung Galaxy Mini I...
First of all, get off that foil. Unless it's a really expensive phone which doesn't use Gorilla Glass( hard to find one these days), it's really just a burden. You will throw the phone before it's surface will become unbearable to look at. I have my phone since 2011 and the screen still looks polished. Of course, I also never dropped it on asphalt. Just carpets :).

I similarly dismissed the whole apps thing before I got an iPod, but I have to say they can come in handy. For example, I have a converter app and a graphing calculator app that I make use of quite a lot.

Sadly, these things happen. But, sometimes they're good. Last time I remember it happening to me, I lost about three months of work because I had no backups. I had to start over, but the end result was even better than what was lost. So it wasn't completely bad. Bear that in mind

Your map has an intricate system of hallways, which are a bit confusing. The outside looks really well and polished, I could say the opposite of some inside areas. The bomb area, especially, has a stretched texture which looks weird. It's hard to rate when I haven't played it in multiplayer though...
The lighting is a bit too yellowish( it's winter, isn't it?)

I backup anything I work on via SVN now. Assembla offer free hosting for files up to 500mb, then they charge through the nose. Otherwise, if you don't mind paying for it, use repositoryhosting.com. I pay £3.50 a month for 2gb with them.

A month old backups? Well, I would break stuff if that ever happened to me. I usually backup the files I work on every hour. And still I get really pissed (who wouldn't) when I have to open an hour old backup.
I often use external HDDs but Penguinboy's suggestion is definetly far more efficient. To be honest though, nobody starts doing it until they lose something very very important. So, we all been there.

If you aren't afraid of learning new things I would suggest using a version control system. Not only do you get free backups and cloud storage, you also get full revision history if all your stuff. I use Git for my stuff, it's pretty simple to use once you get the hang of it. You can create an account at GitHub (public is free, private costs $7/month) or BitBucket (private is free) and download a client like SourceTree and you're pretty much done
Happy to go into more detail if you are interested!

Is the error message related to the files "fallingliquid_bg1" or "fallingliquid_bg1_widescreen" ? Both are included so maybe the files were corrupt in your download. I can't be sure. If checking that or re-downloading doesn't help, you can always extract the materials, models, bsp and sound folder into your Ep2 folder structure. For it to work in Ep2 though, you need to set this parameter in the console before loading the map. Otherwise I think it won't load.

Eh, functional programming exists in many places where it is more useful than a pure functional language like Haskell or Lisp.
That concept of the 'infinite list' is called a generator and exists in many procedural and OO languages like Python (2.3), C# (2.0), JavaScript (1.7), PHP (5.5), and many more. It's certainly not exclusive to Haskell by any means.
Something like this is quite valid in C#:
IEnumerable<int> Numbers() { int i = 1; while(true) yield return i++; }
var five = Numbers().Take(5); // Contains [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Get Ep2 fellas!
Too bad I can't play it.
So rating this it will be unfair.

BTW, considering the phones you've had, i don't think you've any business judging the new windows phones, Mister Flip-phone-until-recently guy
And ^i.$ things can kiss my hairy arse.
Oh yeah agreed STU. Sometimes it's shocking how much better your work is the second time go 'round
I do however like the fact you have a windows OS phone. i don't know much about them, but some of my friends who do seem to like them
