  1. Make sure his IP address is banned from all servers and the web site, otherwise he'll just come back under a new alias and do it all again. Our ban tools don't do it automatically. Hit up one of the seniors to do that. Good job!
  2. If more disco songs sounded like that I would have enjoyed them much more.
  3. Sorry if somebody has already posted this. I just watched it and thought that it looked pretty cool. Of course I have a soft spot for this one because it's supposed to take place where I live. They blow up the Golden Gate Bridge. Kevin Spacey plays the lead bad guy in the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFu5qXMuaJU
  4. Terry, I just ended up deleting every iwd file that was downloaded prior to 2014. I was getting the impure client error and was getting tired of having to delete several more for every map I played. If I deleted any that I needed it simply downloaded the ones I needed. If you can't get it going, I guess you won't be able to play any more. It was fun Ter, we'll miss you.
  5. Well how fucking wonderful for you.
  6. There really isn't anyplace that's immune from some kind of natural disaster in the entire world. Wherever you are is home, and it's worth taking the risk. I live in northern California and people from other parts of the US always worry about earthquakes out here, but if the big one ever hits in my lifetime, chances are my house will sustain a lot of damage but it won't be a pile of rubble on the ground or blown away entirely. Eight of the top 10 most powerful earthquakes in US history were in Alaska, and one was in Missouri. The southern states have hurricanes that can wipe out and flood entire cities, and the northeast has winter snow and ice storms that can leave you without electricity for weeks at a time. I'll take my chances with earthquakes.
  7. Pimped Out Pete has that problem too. Women are always staring at the big buldge in his pants. Unfortunately they're always shocked to find out that it's his balls hanging down nearly to his knee.
  8. I hate it when that happens. I feel so violated.
  9. Sorry Beers, that was probably just me hanging glow sticks from weather balloons. I used to do it to see how long before the crazies called the radio station.
  10. I agree Sammy but Firefox isn't really any better and forget Chrome. I decided to use FF yesterday for a while and did some surfing, and within 10 minutes my antivirus blocked 2 malware threats and one virus. Two more malware threats made it through and I needed to run malwarebytes to remove them. IE gets hacked most often because so many people use it. Apple doesn't have many PC threats because the hackers figure why waste all of the time developing malware that's only going to effect a few thousand people around the world. Sometimes the web just isn't worth all the damn trouble.
  11. You first. When we're done making fun of your face let us know how good of an idea it was.
  12. I would, but the game crashes before the menu screen comes up. It starts to load then just locks up, so no access to any of the settings.
  13. I had him plug in his mic to the PC and the game "almost" loaded up and then froze, locking up his entire PC. Not sure where to go from here. Can't find anything exactly like his problem online.
  14. My son just bought a new PC and wants to play COD2 with me. He downloaded a copy from Steam (1st mistake) and while it will run fine in single player mode, multiplayer won't run at all. The game closes before it even gets to the menu. Has anybody successfully loaded and run COD2 on windows 8.1 and then tried to run it from Steam? I've done some searching online and this seems to be a common problem with the disk version as well. Thanks, LOM
  15. I can't really be tired of something that I never believed in the first place. I find that people who believe in a lot of that crap don't have much of a grasp on reality, and they think anything is possible, such as a dead-beat cattle rancher starting an armed revolution in America.
  16. I remember back in the late 70's I had a friend with a small ice chest with a fan that pugged into the lighter of his truck. There was a company that made them at some point, so this works on the same principal. The solar cell and fan is a great idea.
  17. 1960....The Bobby Darin "Dream Car" When fins were in. The 1960 DiDia 150 was a luxury, custom-designed iconic, handmade car also known as the "Dream Car" forever associated with its second owner, singer Bobby Darin. The car was designed by Andrew Di Dia, a clothing designer, who Bobby Darin had met whilst on tour in Detroit in 1957. Darin telling Di Dia at the time that he would purchase the car if he ever "hit it big". For seven years, from 1953 to 1960 the DiDia 150 was hand-built by four workers, at a cost of $93,647.29 but sold to Darin in 1961 at a cost of over $150,000 (1.5 million today). At the time the car was listed as most expensive 'custom-made' car in the world by the Guinness Book of Records. The body was hand-formed by Ron Clark and constructed by Bob Kaiser from Clark Kaiser Customs. Its metallic red paint was made with 30 coats of ground diamonds for sparkle. Built in Detroit Michigan, clothing designer Andrew 'Andy' Di Dia designed this "unrestrained and unconventional" automobile. Only one example was ever built. The normal V8 engine is located at the front with an engine displacement of 365/427. It has a rear-wheel drive, the body and chassis is hand-formed from 064 aluminum with a 125-inch wheelbase alloy tube frame. It has a glass cockpit in back, a squared steering wheel and thermostatically controlled air conditioning system. The interior is rust colored in contrast to the ruby paintwork. The design included the first backseat-mounted radio speakers and hidden windshield wipers that started themselves when it rained. Other features include retractable headlamps, rear indicators that swivel as the car turns, 'floating' bumpers and a trunk that was hinged from the driver's side. Each of the four bucket seats have their own thermostatically controlled air conditioning, individual cigarette lighters and ashtrays, as well as a radio speaker. The original engine, a Cadillac V8, was later replaced by a 427 high-performance by Ford when it was taken on the show circuit. Darin drove his wife (Sandra Dee) in the car to the 34th Academy Awards in 1961. When Bobby drove the car to the Academy Awards, Andrew Di Dia and Steve Blauner followed behind him in a limousine. The car had two fans and a switch that you had to turn on. Bobby didn't realize, so it heated up. All the magazines said the car caught fire but it didn't. Di Dia toured the car around the country, when Darin wasn't using it for public appearances. After publicity and film use, Darin donated his "Dream Car" to the St Louis Museum of Transportation in 1970 where it remains. This is Andrew Di Dia the car designer.
  18. I agree DA that the media did edit his speech to make it sound completely different than he intended it, BUT, the original point of this entire story is that he made a deal with the federal government to lease land from the BLM for grazing his cattle. His views on race and the misrepresentation of what he actually said was nothing more than a convenient opportunity for the left leaning media to stick it to the idiots on the right that backed the cattle rancher. For whatever reasons, he decided to stop paying what he agreed to, and now owes that money to the feds, PERIOD. His entire argument revolves around the fact that he's basically been squatting on that land for decades, and now he feels that he should rightfully own it which is complete bullshit. Several judges have ruled against him, and he still refuses to pay the back fees of more than a million dollars. The BLM has every right to confiscate his cattle, put him in prision, and his battle cry of government abuse to rally the far right wingers to his side is nothing more than a ruse to avoid paying the back fees. You can bet your bottom dollar that the BLM will eventually win and get those cows off of BLM land, sell them and get the money they are owed. If the BLM didn't manage that land and tens of millions of other acres of land across the country, you would have unregulated carnage on a huge scale. The land they manage is for all of us to use (something I've done a lot), and it's not for some cattle rancher to claim as his own because he can't play by the rules. By the way, if any of you want to go camping, hunting or fishing someplace nice without thousands of people around like a public campground or national park, and if you want to truly see unspoiled nature at its best, check out BLM land. It's a little known secret that I've taken advantage of most of my adult life.
  19. You sound like somebody speaking from experience.
  20. So I changed medical plans and had to get a new doctor. I have to admit, I love this guy. His advice is the best ever. Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Brandy distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two body, your ratio two to one. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetable be bad? Q : Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Oh no! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me. Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is shape!
  21. I may start a new guided hunting service down in that area for cattle. With the price of beef through the roof right now, I think it will be a big hit. I wonder who can be meaner, several hundred armed men willing to do anything to feed their families, or a couple dozen revolutionaries hell bent on not paying their taxes and seeing blacks back in slavery?
  22. When I was a kid growing up on the Ohio river, we would wait for the winter floodwaters to recede then watch the ponds out in the river bottoms get smaller as the summer heat slowly evaporated them. When they finally got shallow enough there would be thousands of huge carp and catfish in a big mud puddle just waiting to die. We would go out in our shorts with aluminum baseball bats and put them out of their misery, then have piles of dead fish on the shore like 6 feet tall. None of them were worth eating, but some of the cats were over 50 pounds with mouths big enough for me to put my head in. Ah the good old days.
