OSX upgrades are significantly cheaper. Albeit there are more of them. Now their OS is "sorta" free. I'm still using 10.6x on my Mac so Im not forced into anything and I wont upgrade in this case. But I dont buy a lot of new software either.

I mean why it happened. Common symptoms. An old example: First, the server crashed. Ok there is a problem. Over time it seemed it could be related to the RC-XD because there was always one running at the time. It happened at random times from player activation to when it blew up. But strangely sometimes it didnt happen at all. It happened more often, or faster, the more players there were. It didnt if the RC was far away from all other players. It did when it got close to them. Also more often on open maps than closed ones. Certain maps in particular. It seemed to always happen the moment it was close enough that another player actually saw it. Those things helped narrow down the problem. It allowed me to force the crash to happen and find the bug. Which in this case required rebulding the model and its skeletal structure.

Its like movies, often the trailers are better.

Never seen a thumb quite like that before. I hope he was wearing protection when using that hammer.

Read this morning that they found a security exploit where attackers can crash servers.

No such thing as cut and dried if people want me to make sure whatever the problem is doesnt transfer to the newer mw2 mod. But if nobody cares then so be it.

An image I did NOT need thank you very much.

Could you elaborate more on that?

BF4 looked cool also.

I am surprised this is still online but its the missing plane. It follows a normal track until just before the midpoint between Malaysia and Vietnam and something happens. For this site when something stops transmitting it switches to a predicted path, which is why it shows it continuing to fly north. http://www.flightradar24.com/2014-03-08/16:56/12x/MAS370/2d9dd5b

Yes that is very cool. I have to bookmark that page. Currently the skies above the US are somewhat light since its past midnight PDT. But Europe and Asia are so crowded you can hardly see the map itself.

Tron is a pretty good movie, if you watch it in the spirit of the early 1980's. These days its pretty corny. I hope they make a third. The second looked fantastic but the only other things I really liked about it were the games and Olivia Wilde.

Not a sight I would like to see. Nor would I want to see pissing liquid soap. But I suppose that way you could clean the toilet while you use it.

I had the soap in mouth thing once because of language. It didnt change on whether or not I thought swearing was ok. Just not to my grandparents. Did that change my behavior? Or did it simply mean it was the first time I segregated people and put them on a list? Maybe it was just an example that I should always show simple courtesy towards others and err on the side of not using it until I knew whether or not that elder was comfortable with it. Parents and grandparents generally are not. Uncles can be a different story and that is one thing I remember. In any case beyond courtesy or simply being nice, which I show to everybody because thats the kind of person I am, for me respect must be earned. I dont care who it is or how old they are. To be quite rude if someone respects another because of physical harm then he is weak by comparison. Its fear not respect. Also, many fathers like to say never throw the first punch but always throw the last. He doesnt mean the goal is to get the other guy to respect you, but to fear you so it doesnt happen again. Maybe its just semantics but if anything I learned by example not swats to the ass. If an alcoholic parent for example sees his young kid take a swig and spanks him, or worse, that likely wont change much of anything. The kid likely will have an alcohol problem himself by the time he is a teenager. The same can be said for an abusive husband or parent. The kids often are abusive themselves as adults. Kids can see through the usual 'do what I say not what I do' arguments. Or since they are mentioned here go back to those 50's and 60's with religiously intolerant parents, or various clergy, that forbade something as simple as dancing or listening to rock and roll. Teenagers did it anyways. The parents didnt know about it but when they did the teenagers were called 'rebellious' or 'disrespectful' and various punitive measures would be taken. Funny thing... I have been told that my mother would swear like a sailor. But she never did around me. Well, maybe a few times when she was agitated at something.

I see alot of comments about strict nuns. Their behavior is probably why many people dont hold them in high regard these days.

Uh, ok. To each his own I suppose. Of course sometimes animals need to be put down. The same goes for whoever wrote this song.

I do open the door for others, as an example, in addition to other things that fall under simple courtesy towards others. And it didnt take spankings or whatever for me to learn that.

Its just a different form of entertainment. The term 'couch potato' didnt come about when video games were invented.

Yup I was going to say somewhere in France due to the language on the buildings.

For not saying 'sir'? Thats pretty extreme. Its not as though you stole something. While I think the whole 'time out' thing is silly there are other ways to handle unruly children.

As soon as an EA site asked for a pwd for an unrelated company that in itself should show a red flag. I am surprised it still works.

There is certainly a difference where you go to school. Head master suggest UK. In the various US schools I went to the punishment... which meant some swats on the ass... was assumed to be allowed unless the parent signed a piece of paper saying dont. But even then there are the occasional no-no's. For example you dont want some 50 year old male asst principal spanking your teenage girl. That is just creepy.

If I were your mom I wouldnt want some strange guy to lash my kid nor would I allow it. That would be my job.

Uh huh. This is another one of those math equations that always ends up as the same result. If you do the math right. See them all the time.

Respected parents, teachers and elders? Really? One thing about the good ol days is that people tend to look at it through rose colored glasses.
