Well if it took him 7 minutes I'd guess that he didn't code anything
What, because Sys Admins are always BOFH?
I'd say that you can be as touchy as you want after 5 people spam your thread with FUCKING BOLD CAPSLOCK SWEARING
Sounds like your friend is an idiot. It doesn't work that way.
Zombies aren't created by radiation, you idiot - that's mutants. Zombies are created via viral, bacterial, or parasitical infection, usually started after a government-funded research company goes too far.
Heh, anything's possible
Seems silly to buy a new graphics card just to use one program.
That site in particular has changed URLs many times over the years. Every time I go to look at it, I have to find the new URL all over again. Which is probably why not many people know of it.
Someone should try to compile it.
I've been putting these in my journals. Actually, I should post another one soon, I still have a few more programs to show off...
This is probably more up-to-date:

"Token too large on line 5"
How many WADs have you loaded in Hammer, and how long is the path to each WAD file?
Alternatively, export the map as a .MAP file, open it in notepad, and paste the first 5 or 6 lines here.

Yay 
Big spiral thing? Is it done with Twister?
The important things to notice in this case are the green and yellow texture axis lines. When you scale negative, the axis doesn't change, but when you align to face, the axes are rotated so that they are flat against the face in a certain direction. Notice that the green axis doesn't move but the yellow one is flipped. This means that the texture normal has been rotated to face outwards relative to the face rather than inwards.
Unfortunately you can't manipulate the texture axis directly, apart from these three operations:
Rotate the texture (only rotates on the XY axis, you can't adjust Z)
Align to face/world (limited to only two different axis positions)
Alt+Right Click (dependant upon the last selected face)
In an ideal world you would be able to choose the normal vector of the texture axes, but typically you don't need to, as it would usually result in stretched textures, and that kind of control isn't really necessary. You can always cheat by rotating your brush a bit, turning texture lock off, and rotating it back. At least I think that works.
Sorry, I went on for a bit there.

It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. It was still bad, but I've seen much worse. I could easily point out at least 5 movies from a list of movies released in the past year that are much worse.
I got an Acer Aspire One when they first came out. It's great for uni because I need to travel quite a bit and it's lighter (and cheaper!) than a big laptop.
I haven't tried running Half-Life on it, but somehow I have a feeling that it wouldn't work I should probably try it anyway and see what happens.
One issue I have is that the default 3-cell battery only lasts 2 hours or so at full charge. This was pretty bad last year when I had a 3 hour lecture that was mind-numbingly boring and I had nothing to do for an hour after the battery ran out! You can buy a 6-cell separately, but it's not worth the cost in my case. Looks like the one you ordered has the 6-cell battery already though
They're good as long as you don't use it to do much. If you find yourself doing a lot of typing or other activities that may be hindered by the small size, it might be time to get something larger.

Something like this?

Ewww, IE. You must die now!
Well you should still use jpegs, just put the quality up a bit higher :/
Are you running software mode or is that just terrible jpeg compression? Those screenshots should be much better quality.
Wow cstriker, you're lucky I don't ban you too. Think before you post.
Fine, he's banned. He's basically been asking for it for the last few weeks anyway. I grow tired of his douchebaggery.
And you're not alone.
I found it easily using the moddb search form, but it doesn't seem to be very active. http://www.moddb.com/mods/xen-assault
A good free alternative is Paint.NET. Unlike the GIMP, it doesn't suck.
D
No Half-Life movie, but yes Team Fortress movie.
Unfortunately not.
Pretty sure it was.
This information may prove useful.I hope you were referring to the fact that srry enjoys bunches of panties on his head.
Heh, way to dig up the past. I like to think that I started out that thread logical and sensible but started getting rather ticked off as the thread descended into madness. I regret it (and a few other similar situations), and a while back now, I made a promise to myself that it wouldn't happen again. The "Rowleybob incident" was before my time.
The problem with being a moderator on a site is that when this kind of stuff happens, there's absolutely no way to wind up as the good guy at the end. If you close the thread, you're a nazi who "abuses power" and "prevents free speech", if you don't, you're blamed when it gets out of control.
I like to think I'm at least a little more mature now then I was back then. I was a terrible admin to start with, and I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best person for the job. But, for all the stuff that happens, I'll stick around, and try to improve the site code. With Grim, Daub, and Strider as admins (who are all less likely than me to spit the dummy), you're in good hands.

$2.13 an hour sounds like sweatshop wages D:
Hahaha, best prefab ever!
Nope, you have custom titles too. Check your profile page, you need to check the "use custom title" box, or your title will not be used. The custom title text box doesn't appear at all if you don't have custom titles allowed.
The E3 Alan Wake trailer got me rather excited. I'm a sucker for that kind of game narration.
Yes, I think new Futurama is far enough away to not be on the wishlist >_>
That's one for my "forgotten games" list. Alan Wake + 1.
Tipping is basically unheard of here in Australia.
So who here's seen The Matrix Reloaded 2?
Part one, as I always forget stuff:
Forward:
Modern Warfare 2
Professor Layton 2
Ace Attorney Investigations
Golden Sun 3
Assassin's Creed 2
Command & Conquer 4
Uncharted 2
Black Mesa
Rage
Borderlands
EDIT: Splinter Cell Conviction
Info:
Ep3/Portal 2
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Sam and Max season 3
Golden Sun 3 (again)
Films:
I don't really keep track of films but I'll put Lost season 6 in here because it's close enough.
More coming when I can remember. Because there's definitely more than that on my list.

Half-Life doesn't run at all? Any error messages? Did you try reinstalling it? Is it WON or Steam? Give more details, there may be a solution.
Nice. Video tuts are always useful (and hard to come by) for new mappers, I'm sure they'll appreciate these.
Overclocking is pointless. Don't do it.

Wow, loads of changes. I think my favourite is:
[quote]# Sappers attached to a teleporter automatically place another Sapper on the other end of the teleporter, if it exists.

- Engineers wrenching a teleporter will repair the other end as well, and remove Sappers from both if they exist.[/quote]
Op4 and BS are definitely not "free". You have to buy them just like any other game. Valve are selling content and you're giving it away for free? How is that not a problem? Also, just because other people did it doesn't mean that it's right.
