Yeah, but I miss those days.

PunkBuster?

Was there any mention that the 50% discount would still apply after the 60 day evaluation? The discount expires long before those 60 days are up. Not sure how they are handling that.

Most people may not be interested in this offer. However, even if you are not a computer "Power User" read on... A few years ago, I switched over to Directory Opus from the standard, included Windows file management tool - aka Windows Explorer, and now "File Explorer" in Windows 10. Since probably the biggest thing you do with a file manager is copy or move things from one place to another, a dual-pane (i.e., source / destination) file browser simply makes sense, right? And that alone was enough of a selling point for me to want to get Directory Opus. Gone are the days of opening two copies of File Explorer and arranging them on the screen so I could drag and drop files and folders from one to the other. Shouldn't that all be doable in just one window anyway, Microsoft? Well in Directory Opus, it is, and not only that, but you can also tell Windows you want to use Directory Opus instead of File Explorer, so it becomes a replacement for the default file browser. But dual-pane file exploring is just the tip of a very vast iceberg. Even I don't use more than a fraction of its capabilities, but I use the heck out of it for what I need it to do. So here are some of the things it does: Normal File Management stuff, but better because of the built-in dual pane way it works. Tabs within each browser pane which may be persistent or temporary and extend the dual pane thing even further. FTP - better than FileZilla (but a slight extra cost for the "secure ftp" feature which I really haven't needed, but some might.) Handles ALL compressed file formats (create and read) so no need for 7-zip, WinZip, etc. Duplicate File Finder. Batch file renaming - great if you have lots of image or music files. Flatten a directory path - get a listing of all files in a folder and all of its sub-folders in a single listing. File Synchronization - even across a network, AND from computers on the local machine and local network to an FTP site. I'll let their website give you even more details: https://www.gpsoft.com.au Only one CON I can think of is that Directory Opus does not have support for some of Windows File Explorer's more clever tricks. Most recently in Windows 10, that means the "Quick Access" feature, which puts places you've recently browsed up at the top of the File Explorer window, is not implemented. A post I read recently on their forum suggests that the reason is because Microsoft is rather fickle and keeps changing some of these new-fangled features, depreciating or eliminating others altogether. This makes it really difficult for GP Software to have to keep re-developing core features of their own program to match what's all the rage over at Microsoft. That said, they have an awesome "Favorites" feature, and Windows Libraries are supported, so I haven't found myself bumming over that other stuff that keeps changing anyway. GP Software is an Australian company. The Pro version of Directory Opus costs $89 AUD at full retail. The AUD is falling against the US Dollar and UK Pound, but slightly up on the Canadian Dollar. But still, with a 50% discount, this makes sense all around, but is even more attractive in the UK and USA. So take 50% off the currencies shown here: Just wanted you to have all the facts. I would not want to use a computer without this software, and clearly I'm passionate about its capabilities and how much better it makes my life using Windows or I wouldn't go to all the trouble of writing such an elaborate post. Discounted to 50% brings it into decision range for even non-Power Users, who will probably feel much more powerful for their purchase. REMEMBER TO USE THE DISCOUNT CODE shown in the email I received from GP Software shown below. And since the links probably didn't survive the copy/paste from my email to this post, here is their website address again: https://www.gpsoft.com.au

Right? You should see it all "lit up."

DM1 is now running a "pre-Christmas" rotation featuring the COD5 Christmas maps along with the best of the Wintertime maps. Come on in and get ready for for Christmas. Maybe stick a MP-40 up someone's Christmas Tree.

It's ridiculously warm up here, too, @@7toes_ky. As of right now, the long range forecast is showing a high of 46, low of 38 and a 30% chance of rain - on Christmas Day! In Wisconsin! Just crazy, that.

Baby it's cold outside! DM1 is now running snowy, wintertime maps. Soon it will be all Christmas maps (soon as in starting this coming weekend.) Get in there and freeze your butts off, soldiers!

You also won't need to tell us, because it's painfully obvious, that "Poison Ivy" was recorded so long ago they hadn't even figured out how to sync music with them there new-fangled "moving pictures."

A blonde heard that baths in milk would make her beautiful. She left a note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons. So he knocked on the door to clarify the point. The blonde came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your note asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk. Did you mean 2.5 gallons?" The blonde said, "No, I want 25 gallons. I'm going to fill my bathtub up with milk and take a milk bath so I can look young and beautiful again." The milkman asked, "Do you want it pasteurized?" Wait for it The blonde said, "No, just up to my tits ... I can splash it on my eyes if I need to!"

Fun, fun, fun.

Yeah, I had to watch this one twice.

Drop that F-bomb Girl!

Looking at @' picture right above mine, I can't help but wonder how he got it so big in his post? I know mine is way bigger than it posted, but I've never been able to post a picture any bigger. It's not that I have size envy or anything, but -sheesh- what's the secret there?

It's the evening of the first of the twelve days of Christmas. If you start counting now, that is. Otherwise, please refer to Bob & Doug McKenzie's Twelve Days of Christmas for an alternate interpretation.

Except that's Club/Dance/Trance. It's okay and everything, but I prefer she not use an auto-tuner and just smash along to a hypno-beat. Her voice is amazing all by itself. But can't blame her for going where the money is.

@@Dirk Diggler Hey Dirky - I always love Selena best when she's doing Power Pop.

Yeah, yeah, but let me guess - girl not included, right? There's always a catch.

Congrats @@wildthing!

Let me guess - you were thinking this is the "his" model.

See? There ya go. Useless. Can't even ban deerjon.

Wait for it...
