My phone doesn't have a web browser. It only makes and receives calls
My phone doesn't even do that, since it's always off.

Why steal music when things like the Amazon MP3 store and Spotify exist?
Pirating and stealing, not the same things. Most pirates buy the stuff they like if it's available at an affordable price. The free market nuts don't like it because it moves power from corporations to consumers. Piracy is really a good thing for the music, games and film industries because good products becomes more important than good marketing.

@2muchvideogames: I'm uploading my collection of Half-Life-related files to FileFront. Maybe you'll find something interesting there. I'll create a thread when I'm done.

I have to wait until after Christmas before I can afford to replace my graphics card cooling system. Until then I'm stuck on a laptop.

Edit: I'm also playing Bomberman (DS). It's a good game but not as good as Bomberman 2 (DS).

The virtual keyword makes it so that when you have a (ParentClass *) pointer pointing to a ChildClass object, calling the member function from that pointer will result in ChildClass's member function getting called, instead of ChildClass's member function.
class Fruit {
	public:
		int weight() { return 100; }
		virtual int worth() { return 100; }
}
class Apple : public Fruit {
	public:
		int weight() { return 200; }
		virtual int worth() { return 200; }
}
Apple anApple;
Fruit* someFruitPointer = &anApple;
int a = anApple->weight(); // a has the value 200
int b = anApple->worth(); // b has the value 200
int c = someFruitPointer->weight(); // c has the value 100
int d = someFruitPointer->worth(); // d has the value 200

in help with make a new mod Post #287141
I'm doing my coding in Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. Code::Blocks is good too, provided you have a compiler that can compile the SDK. In order to get the code to work in Visual C++ 2008 I had to make hundreds, perhaps thousands, of little changes to get rid of errors. I could send you my code; it should work in Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition as well. Wait a couple of minutes and I'll upload it somewhere.

Edit:
My Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition-compatible Half-Life SDK. Based on version 2.3-p3.

I have a pair of Philips SBCHC8440/05 wireless headphones. At first the sound was crap, but I figured it might be because of my integrated Realtek sound chip. And it was. Today I got the Creative X-fi Extreme PCIe soundcard I had ordered and now my headphones finally produce sound of quality equal to their price... which wasn't too high.

The first model I would like, which I have no pictures or examples of, is an AK-47, slot 3, runs on shotgun ammo.
Weapon slots and ammunition types are programmed in the hl/client DLL code and aren't part of the model. Why would you want it to use shotgun ammo? It's quite easy to create new ammo types. Also, just to be clear, I don't do models.

Edit: Sorry for double posting.

The weapons are coded into the DLLs (written in the programming language C++). They use models, sounds and sprites. The "event" files are just meaningless files that can contain anything, like the text "Hello" or "Lorem ipsum". They are for some reason required for client-side predictions. I think Valve meant to put something in them, but didn't and didn't bother to remove them and the engine's dependence on them. If you want an example of weapon code take a look at this old VERC article.

You're looking for weapon coders, eh? I'm still new to Half-Life coding but I've managed to make a P90 and make the DLLs compile in MS Visual C++ 2008. Maybe I could code one or two weapons for you?

in GPU help! Urgent! Post #286625
Loads of artifacts in games, literally rendering them unplayable, and constantly freezes, and now it's starting to happen in my web browser too. I have had an artifact issue with the card for about a year now, it displays green dots pixels that should be dark
I had issues like that when one of my RAM sticks was corrupt. I also thought it was my graphics card. Say, you're not also having HDD issues? Like files corrupting randomly every once in a while?

Is your browser perhaps a Firefox 4 beta version, Safari 5, Chrome 7 or Internet Explorer 9? They use hardware acceleration for 2D rendering. Try turning it off and see if your browser behaves any better.

1) Half-Life is a sci-fi game. I also play Deus Ex and a couple of Star Wars games.
2) Deus Ex. Parts of Postal 3. I expect poverty, corruption, greater social differences, freedom fighters, turf wars, less government, less meat and more vegetables (because of the poverty; it's more economic).
3) Steel. Weapons.
4) A space rocket is a rocket that flies into space? I would expect it look like any of today's space rockets.

You can have certain entities move with other entities in Spirit, but that won't work with all of the point entities you need to make a tank.
Hahaha! Hahahaha! I laugh in your face! I once made an RC player-controlled tank for Spirit of Half-Life (actually it was for Chickenfist's Half-Life 2D but the non-Spirit entities used could easily be replaced) that you could drive forwards and backwards, rotate, rotate its tower and fire rockets.
