My guess is that each of them is responsible for millions of euros in drink sales. It would take at least 10 pints of beer to make one of them look good enough for sex.

Should be some easy wins. As long as you are on the other team. LMAO Just for that, I will be especially relentless with the "Window beatdown" comments after I kick your ass.

I'll be there.

Happy birthday brutha. You look great for a man of 90.

When he can do this one, I'll be impressed.

Only the first in the series is out, but more to come soon. http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-The-Barn-Door-ebook/dp/B005FG1DB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363844268&sr=8-1&keywords=beyond+the+barn+door

Good luck paperman. We're all pulling for you.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family Terry. I can't imagine what you're all going through right now. Let us know if we can do anything.

Thank you all for the condolences and well wishes. My wife sat here reading each and every one with tears streaming down her face. For those who were wondering, a couple years ago we got another yellow lab to help keep Ozzy active and from getting bored. She was 2 when we got her and her name is Moe. For the moment we're a one Lab family, but Moe is a handful and loves to play. She's still trying to figure out where Ozzy went but we're keeping her busy. Here is Moe and Ozzy a couple months ago. I didn't realize it until a couple hours ago, but my wife snapped a picture of my daughter and me saying our final goodbye to Ozzy just after the vet administered the sedative. By the time the final injection came a few minutes later, he was sound asleep and no longer in pain. I wish all humans could leave this world as dignified and loved as some of our K-9 companions do.

Unitl around 25 years ago, the US healthcare system ran like a well oiled machine. You could buy a health plan with a 2 million dollar maximum benefit and no deductible and low or no copayment for under $100 per month even if you were middle aged. Then came big advances in technology and drugs. All of a sudden every kid that wasn't perfectly behaved had ADHD and needed to be on meds. In Vitro fertilization allowed couples who could never have children to get pregnant, not with one but with complete fucking litters. Each of these miracle babies was generally born pre-mature and requred long stays in the hospital which averaged around a million bucks each. When insurance companies initially didn't want to pay for these new things, lawmakers made sure that those heartless corporations paid for everything thrown their way up to and including Viagra and birth control pills, and any time they wanted to increase their premiums they needed goverment approval. In the mean time, health care providers have zero restrictions on how much they can charge. Politicians own stock in corporations that own hospitals, drug manufactures, and all kinds of medical equipment. Why? Because where else can you go to Washington a middle class nobody, make investments based on insider information that's not available to the general public, and become a millionare? Canada did it right decades ago and their system works for them. They regulate how much drug companies can charge for their products, and the cost of health care in general. Unless we kill off all the politicians, start from scratch and make political coruption/crony capitalism an offense punishable by death, our only alternative is to go deeper into debt as a nation. Nothing will change unless we force it upon the politicians and regulate the shit out of health care, not health insurance.

I think you're onto something Cobra. I know that over the last week, all 4 of my PC's have had Java, Adobe, and automatice Windows security updates. Perhaps a poll is in order for the COD4 players to see what operating systems those people who have been banned are using, and ask if they're had updates over the last week. It might be some good info to show PB if we can see a pattern.

In late 1996, my wife surprised me by coming home from the local dog shelter with a beautiful 2 year old yellow lab. His name was Ozzy, and the previous owners kept him locked up in a back yard and were upset that he knocked over their toddler. My wife fell in love with him the moment she laid eyes on him, and so did I. It was immediately obvious to us that Ozzy was great with kids, and even when our (then) young kids crawled all over him, he didn't mind a bit. Ozzy and I bonded quickly, and he rarely let me out of his sight. In the 15+ years that he was part of our family, he always went on vacations with us and was never left alone for more than an hour or two. Until a few days ago even at his advanced age, he was healthy, happy and very active. Today at 5:35PM PDT, our 4th child Ozzy finally left this world for the big room full of tennis balls in the sky. We lost a member of our family today and feel like our hearts have been ripped out. But we have 15+ years of memories and thousands of family photos to remember him by. Goodbye old friend. I hope you are at peace and there to greet all of us who loved you when our time comes.

Of course I did , removing it through the control panel was the first thing I did, and the program is no longer visible on the program list. The problem is that PnkbstrA.exe and B are still running processes when I look at my task manager. Fortunately I don't have one of those antique computers that get bogged down with a little extra memory in use, and I'm not comfortable with my abilities to start fucking around in the registry and deleting hicky/local anything files. So I let it run and try not to think about it.

I was just doing a bit of light reading about Punkbuster. As it turns out, they have two .exe files that are constantly running on all of our computers and scanning all files, not just those related to gaming. During these scans it records the serial numbers of hard drives on your PC and transmits them as encrypted data to the PB servers, so if you get banned and even if you get a new game with a new GUID, you will still be on their ban list. Because it runs constantly, it is a real problem for some people especially with older PC's because it eats up RAM and slows down performance. In case any of you have ever tried, it's impossible to remove PB from your PC without manually going in and deleting files from your registry. It's still on my PC from the old days on COD2 and I've never been able to remove it. Whenever I see it running on my task manager I make a point of turning it off to improve performance.

Happy birthday Radar. I hope you made it a great one.

I know it sounds like a great deal Joe, but the reason the kid with the high IQ getting everything paid for is because the CIA is probably grooming him to be a code breaker or some other kind of high tech guru. Most of the time peope with disabilities in the US are treated the same as what you described in Canada.

You're lucky that duct tape is also silver. Problem solved.

One of our admins had the same problem today RIP. Sounds like it's an issue with punkbuster. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

That was fucking great!

The Canadian system works for Canadians and they have every right to be happy with it. Trying to implement the same type of system in the US is in the works now, but it's going to be a complete disaster. If the US government would focus on the cost of health care instead of the cost of health insurance, things would be much different down here. This isn't a Republican or Democrat issue, it's been happening under our noses for more than 30 years. If a gas station owner raises the price of his gas during a natural disaster (like a hurricane) he can go to jail for gouging customers, yet hospitals can charge $500 for an asprin and our government tells the insurance company they have to pay for it. My mom spent 4 days in the hospital a few months ago for back surgery. The hospital billed Medicare over $250,000 for her 4 day stay and my parents only paid a couple hundred in copayments. "When" our system eventually becomes government run single payer, expect a lot of very wealthy hospital administrators being paid by the US tax payer.

I had Hughesnet about 5 years ago and it was just a little better than dial-up. Gaming online was impossible. If you can afford it, check with your local phone company to see how much a partial T-1 line would be per month if they already have the right cable installed in your area. Unfortunately it's the price we pay for country life, but well worth it to live there in my opinion.

I'm sick of all the shit our government makes us do, so in protest I will only move my clocks ahead 15 minutes.

I recall this happening to somebody else before on COD2 but can't seem to find it in the archives. Perhaps loader or somebody else with a better memory than me will chime in with a solution.

CTF was nice for a change. I had a great time killing loader.

You left out a woman who will do whatever I tell her to do, and then beg for more.
