Hahaha, America is turning into a 3rd world country in places. This is too funny. Not to disrespect those affected by the disaster, but you guys got OWNED.
Windows XP is more of a human by-product excreted by the anus, than a usable OS.
GIMP is better than Photoshop but it's alot less automated.
Holy shit, 6MB!? Well... I can run FreeBSD in 4MB of RAM. Hah! Beaten by 2MB.
I have a strict iptables setup on my firewall (I got a dedicated hardened Gentoo box as a h/w firewall) with a very obscure and locked down network config in my kernel. I can use Win2k with no software firewall and very outofdate hotfixes with no problem 
But Win2k sucks, so I don't use it.

I can make decent brushed aluminum. I'll post a short guide and example in a second...
EDIT: Here we go...
1. Create an image, any size.
2. Make a gradiant, any gradiant, beware, it will take time to get a gradient that is good enough. Experiment alot.
3. Create a new layer and set it to the current layer.
4. Goto Filters/Noise/Make noise. Set amount to 10, type to Gaussian, and tick monochrome.
5. Goto Blur/Motion Blur. Set level to 30/35 depending on desired effect.
Here is my example:
Warning, it will take practice with gradients to get decent results, just keep trying.

Microsoft will take over the world and implant DRM into our brains. Or Bush will set off nukes and kill us all.
Mephs, stop flaming. Just because I am not tied down to Windows 
Steam is a decent app, I've used it since BEFORE it's big official release and it has only had a few minor bugs here. Most bugs are caused by the users setup, whether it be network issues, or the fact that the user uses Win98 ahem mephs ahem. Very little errors are serverside, and most of them are because of the huge amount of users connected.

I'll take a look at it later.
BTW, Mephs, when did I copyright making baby jesus cry?

No offense, but half of these silly little TWHL mods never materialize. I've started 2 mods on the forum. 1 died in development, and another died in planning. And another one started by Vassy/Seventh/XargoL/Me died in development.

America is mostly a nation of fatties, rednecks, cheap hookers, and assholes, with the occasional transvestite. Crappy country. Crappy goverment. And last but not least, 75% crappy people.
I used to like CS but got sick of it. I do like TS, I just suck at it 
And HL2 has good parts but is generally very repetitive and bores me after a a couple of chapters.

I heard of NanoTubes a long time ago. They were using them as RAM, and they were rather good at it iirc.
You can buy de-ionised water. But it cannot be pumped, otherwise it will lose it's "effect" and must be trated constantly to keep it de-ionised. This would cost alot of money and owuldn't be worth the effort. You can however use de-ionised water in a static tank, with the heatsource inside. They use this stuff to cool down huge transformers, etc.
Just a piece of advice, don't go making CS maps. You can't expect people to play them on a decent server. CS players are afraid of change and only want to play default maps.
That is exactly the setup I am running now (with an X850XTPE), and it is 100% pwnage. Although, it sucks for audio/video encoding, and server work. Although it dominates in synthetic benchmarks, games, and everyday applications. Although, the reason it sucks in A/V encoding is the low clock speed. Some programs are faster with longer pipeline (such as prescott) and higher clock speed rather than effeciency. Which is the main reason P4 Prescott cores dominate in A/V. The Prescott has a giant 31 stage pipeline and lots of latency, but lots of raw power. The Pentium M has a 8 stage pipeline, which gives it a lower latency, but less "power". Games prefer the lower latency CPU's with low clock speeds., but background applications that just sit there crunching a predictable pattern prefer high latency and huge clock speeds.
No that wouldn't work. Capacitors don't work in the cold, and you'd get terrible condensation.
Urghhh Source, please do it for old CS 1.6. CS:S Source makes me shudder ni disgust.
That water thing ain't the best, or the most effecient. Seriously. Refrugeration is the most effecient way to get subzero temperatures. Except from maybe DICE or LN2.
Out of those two CPU's, the A64 is better. definately. If you can afford it, though, get the San Diego core, it's quite a bit better.
SpaG, ever heard of GOOGLE!? Why don't you use Google to work out that my little benchmark results are indeed true and stop being a little boy with his head up his ass? My ?0.02.
The "bloody" point is for benchmarking. sigh noobs sigh
EDIT: FYI, the best air cooling possible is a Thermalright XP-120 plus a high-CFM 120mm fan such as a 12v Delta.

Both of them suck. You want a Pentium-M 760. Now I bet all of the noobs here are gonna say "but mobile procesorz sux omfg n intel suk coz dey dun hav 64 bitz omgomgomg". Pentium-M is a better gaming chip than the FX-57 in all benchmarks. In fact, it wins in everything except from MySQL benchmarks. Floating point, integer, and arithmatic functions are more accurate and have less execution time, Pentium-M also has a fuck load of cache for larger threads. You can only use this CPU on a desktop platform with the old Asus P4C800-E + an dapter right now, which doesn't give you PCI-E, I bet you noobs are all saying "but omgomgzor u ned pcie coz agp sux n it is 2 slo for 2dayz gfx", but in fact that is a pile o' BS. We've tested the difference between a PCI-E GeForce 6800 Ultra and an ATi X850 XTPE, then the AGP version in 8x and 4x. There was on performance difference between AGP 8x and PCI-E 16x, and a 2% difference between AGP 4x and 8x. So, in that case, even recent-ish cards only just saturate AGP 4x.
Watercooling is extremely far from the best. If you want 24/7 use, refrigeration is the way to go. If you can bear only being able to run for a few hours at a time, and running caseless (the majority of you gyus are newbs, so I will say "OMG TEH HOROR"), LN2 and Dry Ice are easily possible. You need a copper container (not just any container, must be designed PROPERLY), and LN2, or if you can't get that, Ethanol and Dry Ice. Cut up the DICE into small chunks (or you could just buy pellets), fill it about half way with ethanol, then put in the DICE. It should evaporate into the alchohol, causing it to lwer temps to -70C or so. I've tried twice, it's really fun! But don't breath in the fumes, the ethanol fumes can rot yer brain cells, and sufocate you.
Wow a Steam basher, what a suprise.
omg we haxed ur account u gimpr. Hahaah. No only joking. Valve's mail server has probably fuxed itself in the rectum.
Hahahaha. Great

Plus they are using Direct3D which is the sure sign of lazy programming.
I just got to level 12.
It is with my mous. I have it on 1600dpi, very fiddly.
I just completed level 6. 
Meh got to Level 4, but my mouse is really sensitive.
Yes, looks nice, but DirectX?! Honestly, they should know better. Looks like they have just cut+pasted parts of other engines and put it in a disgusting DirectX engine.

As I probably said in IRC, pwnage!
Just include Spirit with your map as a minimod.

1280x1024 is a non-standard resolution. 1280x960 is the correct for the aspect, otherwise pixels are non-square.
Holy thread revival batman!
Doom 3 sucks, but it's engine is superior to Source in many ways. And BF2 is just fucking overrated. And so buggy, they should've named it Betafield 2.
Battlefield 2 is overrated.
