Good to know. I'll give that a try, but a port scan shows port 28960 closed and the Charter boys and girls seem to be having a hard time wrestling the modem into submission. They are on their way to replace it as I type...

When I start the game, it hangs at the screen that simply says "Setting up game..." in white letters on a black background. It hangs so bad, even Task Manager cannot kill the program. I literally have to restart the computer. This is getting frustrating as hell. My ability to actually get into the game now stands at about 8 0-NO/20-YES. Why I have been able to get in sometimes is a mystery to me. Is ANYONE Else having this problem? I've been wondering if it's a COD5 master server problem, a PunkBuster problem, or if it's a local problem on my computer. It all started when I changed ISPs from my local telco DSL to Charter cable Internet. But everything else on the Internet is fine, so I'm hard-pressed to point the finger at Charter. If anything, I think it's just plain coincidence that it started happening right when I made the ISP switch, and I have been able to play since making the switch, but again, it's 8 0-NO/20-YES at best.

Good article. Lots of people, history, and implications. And for those still steadfastly holding on to IE as their browser of choice, note that Microsoft has left the IE team without direction. Wow. http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/turmoil-at-microsoft-implications-for-windows-users/

Yes - it sure is!

Archeologists would probably cringe at the excavation techniques, or lack thereof, used by these guys, but what a cool piece of history they uncovered. Imagine being a part of the detail responsible for cleaning up that battlefield and dumping all those weapons in that hole. How may corpses lie in that area, and what was life like in the aftermath of battle. Thanks for posting this Coffee!

The harpsichord makes an interesting statement. Kinda cool actually.

Wow. Thank you for that. The Corrs always, always, always take me to a wonderful, beautiful place.

Wishbone Ash was the headliner at the very first concert I went to. Would have been 1973. The other bands on the bill were The Segal-Schwall Band (supposedly their farewell tour, lol) and REO Speedwagon. REO would have been before Kevin Cronin joined on, but right about the time Golden Country was big. I have a pretty worn vinyl copy of Wishbone Ash - Live Dates. Thanks for posting this one! Clearly your gaming handle namesake, too. Cool.

You're most welcome. Here are 2 other favorites of mine (that have videos.) When I first heard Lissie, I was like, "Whoa! Now that's how you do it right there!" Love her.

Happy Birthday, Mazdarati Hope it's an amazing day!

That last one is George Thorogood, not ZZTop.

Fail

Welcome Mutt !!

Thanks for posting the links Labob - most helpful. Many say that we (XI) don't have those patched available for download, but I was pretty sure we did. What I don't know is why these are not linked to via our "More/Downloads" menu path.

HA! Oh God that's funny!
