Quake Live does offer memberships that give you access to more options and servers. So I guess a dedicated XI Quake Live server is a no go. Would have to be earlier versions. How about GL Quake !!!

I have Q3, Q3 Team Arena, Q4 and Quake Live. Hell I have Quake too. Anyway Q3 Team Arena and Quake 4 online play is the same. Hell Quake Live is the same too. If we get a server going, Im in for playing.

Quake Live is the newest online version of Quake from software publisher id. And its FREE !!!! www.quakelive.com

What brand of CNC's are in the beginning of video. Look like Haas. I was a machinist/metal fabricator for 30 years, both manual and CNC's (Aerospace Business). I remember the first Mazak's coming in and all the damn crashes they endured while we all learned to program. My favorites were the Monarch VMC's with the pallet changers. Very capable machines. Towards the end of my career, the company I retired from started getting in some smaller Haas machines. We called them baby mills. On the lathes we stuck with "Mori Seiki" and "Okuma". I think I still have the programming books from way back then. I miss running them. A lot of fun and they came in useful for home projects too. If someone said they were working on a "Government Project" it was a home project. I imagine you run a few of those when time permits.

Prayers to the little one and your family.

I believe Extra doesn't speak much English. I may be wrong. Don't take it to heart. Been playing with him for many years starting in COD2. Nice guy, doesn't say much. Also please be aware that many members think your kind of egotistical about your game play and many feel something's is not quite right with your dominating every game. I for one think your a nice guy, but I can see where some of your comment's can rub someone the wrong way and your gameplay is crazy good. Remember this isn't a "professional gamers" server. Many come here to just, well.. play their own style of gaming and to be social. So don't take the "Hack" comments to heart . I remember you stating you were a professional gamer, so maybe keep in mind all of us "Idiots" are well "Idiots" . Not professional gamers. But there will be a few members who take winning every map a mission and they will question you or your comment. Just roll with the punches and "Be Happy" Peace ....

Everyone is Christmas shopping and getting ready for turkey day

One should also visit www.blackviper.com It has been around for years and is the go to place for tweaks and streamlining for all versions of windows.

Im so confused !!! Are you a jerk or a jerm !!! ????

One of my daughters has a Liberty . Been a good running vehicle. Be sure all the recalls have been done on it. I believe there are three total. One just came out. Its to add structural support to the gas tank area. Her car is in my name too and the dealer called today saying the parts are in to fix it.

I love MicroCenter. We have one here in Ohio. Great prices and they match online prices too !!!! I use to buy components through Newegg, but so much more fun driving to Columbus and shopping in that big ass nerd store !!!

I like having a player that can kick my ass.

All chips are not the same. Sorry but its fact. It all boils down to the "digital to analog converters" or "analog to digital" converters (same, just depends on what your doing). Separate high end sound cards use better ADC/DAC chips and that produces better explosions and such with games. Not to mention better audio playback. Now headphone/speaker choice makes a difference also. There are a lot of variables. But you want a good ADC/DAC and amp that can drive whatever you listen on. And many times. motherboard sound is not up to par.

Wolfson and Burr-Brown audio chips are among the best sounding (audiophile grade). Some mainboard sound, utilizes Wolfson/Burr Brown chips, but usually high end boards. Burr-Brown ADC/DAC's are nice sounding. I find most onboard audio chips lack-luster in audio handling, both game and music. But that's just me. Game performance (FPS), not much difference if any. Its all in the sound quality (fidelity). So you will hear better game detail with a SB card installed. That's been proven time and time again. More audio detail. Go to any consumer pc help site, tomshardware, hothardware, etc. to view test results.

Who Dey !!!!!

The sand and heat over there must cause the natives to be brain deficient !!!!

They are like flat screen TV's and other electronics. Only a handful of manufacturers and each manufacturer makes many brands. Get one from a national chain and keep the receipt for the warranty in the glove box. That way if your traveling and have issues then it will be easy to get it replaced.

8.1 is not a rework of the kernel or foundation of the OS, like some have mentioned. It simply is 8 with a few added features aimed to appease us critics (which is the majority). Sales of 8 are dismal and for good reason. One needs to look at what drivers they need for peripheral devices and or if the software they use will run on that OS before choosing 7 or a version of 8. Basically the same shit we went through moving from XP or Vista to 7,.. drivers were the issue, and are more a problem with 8.

As a licensed Microsoft OEM I have several PC's in office, and around the house running everything from Windows 98 to 8.1 . Hell I have a few Linux based pc's too. I was beta testing 8 long before its release to the public. And on the oem beta test release we had a start menu !!! But Microsoft wanting to push their Windows Phone OS,.. dropped the start menu to focus on touch screen capabilities. Yes you can install "Classic Shell" and solved the stupid ass ugly touch screen squares, but Microsoft, under extreme complaints from power users and oem's are bringing the start menu back. I will soon be able to get 9 under the beta test program and I am curious as to how in depth the menu will be, but I'm not holding my breath. But if you are itching to beat hell to get and try 8 then you better install "Classic Shell" like mentioned. Hell pretty soon your OS will be on ROM and all updates and programs will be "Cloud Based" with few being directly on your pc. Microsoft will charge users a monthly or yearly "maintenance fee" to use their programs. Sort of like Steam does for games (but they don't charge a monthly fee, well.. yet). That's why 8 is the way it is

If you have 7 now wait for 9

If you have 7 don't install 8 !!! Wait for 9 which will bring back the "Start" menu that 8 dropped. Yes 8 may load a little faster, but the GUI, (Graphic User Interface) is touch screen based. 8 is a cell phone OS in my opinion. Stick with 7 if you have it.

Passwords ??? We don't need no stinking passwords !!! .... or was that badges ?

Hell I didn't even know we had extra slots with passwords !!! What the freaking password people !!!! PM me the password !!!! Hello !!!! Password !!!!! Im over here !!!! Hey !!! Password Please !!!

He left when I fired up chat to find admin. No one was on. Several of us spec'd him. Anyway I think my leaving to find admin was enough to get him to leave. I need to figure out how to record for future ref. Thanks for getting back.

Player by the name DubTron69 is using an aimbot/wallhack combo. Several of us watched it in action. Crazy shit. Need admin to kick them or add to list. Tried to get them to stop by warning them and they issued a warning to us
