Heh heh: hope you uderstand Mr. FireCracker that XI is all about fun and no offense is ever intended by these Idiots - me included!! Great to see you both registered!! Harry

Ms. Firecracker: On behalf of the XI senior community, I wish to apologize to you for the lewd and lascivious remarks posted here. One would think some of these Idiots seldom get laid - and that's probably true for the majority of them, who, on those very rare occasions when some fat, ugly broad gives them a mercy fuck, seek only quick release and care (and know) nothing about the real art of marking love. We senior Idiots, on the other hand, have vast experience - many of us having screwed everything from Saigon to Poughkeepsie - and understand that a stunningly attractive woman such as yourself requires a delicate touch, a soft caress, whispered words of affection and adoration, and slow, teasing lovemaking that brings you to complete fulfillment. We stand ready to serve (with the understanding that some advance preperation time is necessary for the Viagara to kick in.)

Bonjour Bloodmouth from a fellow Cajun descendant. Great to have you aboard - keep your dick in the dirt!!

Will have to try that - thanks! (NICE looking gun)

Want to cut and paste content into an XI post? Can't do it with Firefox 4.0. Get back to IE: Whatever was ailing Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate — which crashed my two test systems several weeks ago — has been fixed for the final public release. IE9 is now good to go, and running well on a 32-bit Vista laptop, and 64-bit Windows7 desktop. Get it at microsoft.com. The 64-bit version of IE9 runs a lot slower than the 32-bit version; in fact, the 32-bit version is four times as fast. That’s because 32-bit IE9 contains what’s called a Just In Time compiler, which converts script into machine code before running it. The 64-bit version does not contain this compiler — it likely will be added in a future release. I was concerned about this since Microsoft’s website examines your system, and decides for you which version you need. It downloaded the 64-bit version for my desktop. But I discovered that at the same time, it also downloads the 32-bit version — and installs both. On my 64-bit system, the IE desktop icon pointed to the 32-bit version, which is what you should be using. My assumption was that Microsoft was defaulting to the 32-bit version pending improvements to the 64-bit. But on a friend’s computer, after the install, the taskbar IE icon was launching the slower, 64-bit version. You should check, and if you’re running the 64-bit version, change the desktop IE icon to point to the 32-bit version. Right click on the IE icon in the taskbar and a menu opens. Under “Internet Explorer,” right click again, and select Properties. Under the shortcut tab which opens, look at the path to IE’s executable file under “Target.” If it’s C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe, you’re using the 32-bit version. If it points to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe, you’re using the 64-bit version. There are several ways to change the path to the 32-bit version but perhaps the easiest is to simply click Start, then Computer, then “C:,” then Program Files (x86,) then Internet Explorer. Scroll down to the file iexplore.exe, right click and select Create Shortcut. The new shortcut will then appear at the bottom of the list of files. Now, drag that shortcut to your desktop. My experience — and that of others — is that IE9 is on par with Google Chrome and Firefox 4 as to speed. IE9 is built around speed and simplicity. It presents a clean interface that removes the clutter of IE8 and includes tracking protection that allows users to determine whether a third-party website can track them online; as well as employs download malware protection. You may “pin” websites to the task bar so that you can launch to them without having to first open IE9 to navigate to them. And as I’ve written earlier, IE9 incorporates hardware acceleration which uses the system’s graphics processor to more quickly build complex websites. IE9 automatically imports your favorite websites. Despite that more than half of current computers use XP, IE9 does not run on it. If you’re still on XP, your best bet for a browser is Chrome or Firefox, which also use hardware acceleration. You may download and install both on XP, and alternate their use. Firefox 4.0: Firefox 4.0 has finally been released after a year of development, and is available at mozilla.com/fire? fox? . As with IE9 and Chrome, the browser has been minimized and presents a cleaner interface. Speed is six times faster than previous versions and 4.0 also uses hardware-accelerated graphics. Tabs have moved above the address window and there’s a new add-ons manager. One feature I really like is ability to organize tabs by groups with a feature called Panorama. And unlike IE9, Firefox runs on XP. The Stop and Refresh buttons have been merged into a button that appears at the end of the URL box; the bookmarks bar has been merged into a button at the right side of the browser. Bookmarks are found in a button at the right side of the toolbar and the Home button was moved to the left. The status bar is now at bottom left in the window. Click Add-ons under Tools and a new page will display add-ons, plugins and extensions. I like Firefox, more so than Chrome. But if you’re on Vista or Windows 7, install both, plus IE9, and decide which is best for your particular needs. Ted Como is managing editor of the Kingsport Times-News.

PT-Bama DEEJAYKEG Thanks, Pwr'. That was the decade of my childhood and though life in the UK was somewhat different to that in North America (the only time I saw burgers was when the fun fair visited Hampstead Heath!), I still rate the music as among the best ever written and performed. On a serious note, the 1960s were not only the years when old traditions and values were thrown out and the young gained a voice, but also when the rot began to set in. Future historians may chart the decline of western civilisation from that decade. Cause and Effect Brother!!! Ditto. Sad thing is, there's no stopping it.

Congrats, you back-stabbing bastards...

Holy shit. It's old Scratch, himself.

Welcome to the giggling factory Morris.

Also had the same issue. Depending on whether or not you're running COD2 with User Account Control enabled on W7/Vista, these maps may be located elsewhere. In my case, I had to go to: C:/users/(user)/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files (x86)/ Activision/Call of Duty2/Main. In that directory, you will find the offending map: xih.iwd. Just delete it. In may case, I also had to delete two others, and everything was fine. What's happening is that these .iwd files are rewritten to apply to some map modifications, and renamed. When you launch COD2, instead of loading the revised file, it attempts to load the older file if it is still in the directory.

Nice post. And I agree with it. I don't play Area 51 so I don't know. But I am informed that a non-member is being allowed to falsely identify himself there as an XI admin. Just pointing that out. It's the members who make XI what it is. And it's the members as a whole who, ultimately, will pass judgment. As to bashing my ass, well, it's been bashed pretty good of late. But I'm a stickler for pain. Cya in the game!!

Malificent SgtHarryWeezer Hhhmmm. Check with the XI admin over there. His name's Kilroy. Yep, you are correct! But the spelling is: Killroy. But that's not necessarily true he isn't an admin, he is The Founding Father...and we all are wearing his tags. (Along with Swiss) Harry, you should come play...I miss playing with you...DM was fun way back...when I sucked even worse! Water under the bridge? Or are we going to remain sarcastic forever? I miss our xfire chats.... Well, I'm no longer an admin so I can't say for sure. But I understand he's wearing XI admin tags. Isn't he?

Hhhmmm. Check with the XI admin over there. His name's Kilroy.

What?

Enjoy the game with you Vataloc. You're a good player and a gentleman. Thanks for the intro.

Never give up; always keep on focus. You WILL get past this.

Bryuk WOT THE FUCK Ditto - must have been some really strong weed

Good to hear Shadow.

What a beautiful baby!!!!! So happy for you both.

The proof's in the pudding, and you don't offer any. You think someone's cheating? Get video. Otherwise, a non-member of XI accusing a member of XI of cheating, without any substantive proof, is seriously frowned upon here and can get you banned from this web site and all of our servers.

One should never launch bottle rockets from one's asshole...

Remember that during your probationary period, you may not injure an admin. So be careful where you're shooting. WELCOME!!!

Good to meet you Ghost. Be careful in our servers - there are some folks claiming to be admin that are imposters. In fact, they are sexual deviates on the prowl for fresh meat - especially if you see guys named Rugger or Chili, RUN!!!!!!

Have a great birthday Gump!!!

It is a federal offense to remove a mattress tag Wiz. As a loyal citizen, I feel it my duty to report this threat to the mattress police. You may expect a swarm of heavily-armed dudes dressed in black, at any moment. But this is what happens when you put us all at risk of tagless mattresses. Those tags are there for a good reason. We don't know what that reason is, because we don't have a need to know. But the federal government knows. And by god, you're going to wish you never made this threat. I only hope we hear from you again but I doubt it.
