Joe Canadian

spanky what's it matter?...everyone knows canadians don't really drink beer anyway:) Of course we do, in spite of the prices.... but only on special occasions: I have 1 beer on my b'day and another one on New Year's eve ;-)

Hey Glove, have you been able to figure it out? Just wondering, I only use xfire to connect to the cod4 xi server

The picture speaks for itself, we are being ripped off, aren't we?

hxtr i agree with all above... just pay and move on... but we have a option here to do deferred adjudication which means if no other violations you can be on a probation period and if you dont get another ticket for some 3 to 6 months or longer you just pay the fine but does not affect your record. But not sure how Canada works. Yeah, I will just pay it. I wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to reply to my post, I really appreciate it. Cheers

MikeB >XI< If your record is spotless, you may find the fine in court is lower than paying and not going to court. But then you loose a day pay. But if you have a vacation day to take, it may be worth it. In my 33 years of driving, I have had one ticket. I got a ticket for 75mph in a 55mph and not wearing a seatbelt. I went to court and told the Judge, yes I was speeding and this was my first ticket ever. She dismissed the speeding and just got me for the seatbelt, which was $80 total. I could have attended a seatbelt class and not paid anything, but I didnt want to. So I paid the $80. Would have been 3 times that with the speeding. Good luck and keep us posted. This would be my second speeding ticket in 25 years, so it kinda pisses me off, but after reading all the posts I decided to pay and forget about it. Life goes on...

Belle so what happened to the fish taco stand? bummer, I like fish tacos It shut down a day or two before I decided to give it a try, the owner filed for bankruptcy and was gone in no time. I no longer like fish tacos myself, :-)

A year ago, around lunch time I was driving -starving and alittle distracted- looking for a fish taco stand close to the area where Iwork. The fish taco stand wasn’t thereanymore but there was “something” sortof hiding, - or stuck, I’m not sure- in the bush right next where the restaurantused to be. It turned out to be a cop who flagged me down, told me I was doing70kph in a 50k zone, handed me a $185 “speeding” ticket and walked away. I decided to dispute the ticket and I just learned that thecourt hearing is in 3 weeks. I need to work on my strategy and was wondering ifI could get some ideas here. I took a good look at the ticket and noticed the cop made amistake when he dated it. He wroteSeptember 15, when in fact was September 25, and then corrected it by writing a2 on top of the 1. I was planning to argue in court –if I end up going tocourt- that the fact that the cop made a mistake writing something as simple asthe date shows an “element of hesitation” in issuing such ticket. If the cop wasn’tthat sure about the date…how could he be 100% certain that I was driving abovethe speed limit? Maybe I wasn't doing 70kph and I should, in any event, begiven the “benefit of the doubt”...right? I’m not sure what to do. If I go to court I have to take aday off work and…I don’t get paid for days off. So I came up with three different “choices” of“scenarios before I make a decision: 1) Do nothing about it: just pay the ticket, go to work asusual, and suck it up: feel like anidiot. 2) Go to court, miss a day of work and beat the traffic ticket:look like a lucky (or smart) idiotfor being able to beat the ticket on a technicality. 3) Go to court, miss a workday and lose: pay the ticket +lost income: double whammy: be a realidiot. So, wtf should I do? I am innocent!!! Cheers!

Shamu I am surprised at the comments about the Nostromo or G-13 taking some time to get used to. I found it easy and quick. The keys can be programmed to match the keyboard commands and will be in the same location. The other controls are easily set and learned. One or two games and you will have it. It's a piece of cake to learn and you can't beat the comfort. I guess the problem its me and not the gamepad, I'm an impatient idiot ...lol

Ferret I have been using a Nostromo N52 for a couple years. It is a Belkin product, but looks exactly like the G13 above, prolly the same product with a different brand name stuck on it. Anyhoo, I *MUST* have it play now, I love it, I don't see how people can play with a regular keyboard. It doesn't take long to get used to it, and resting your hand (just using your fingers) instead of holding your hand up takes a lot of stress & fatigue off your wrist. Often I hear guys say "gonna take a break, need to rest my hand"....betchya they are using a regualr keyboard. What I do a lot of the time when I play, is turn sideways and kick my feet up on a chair, prop my right elbow up on the desk to mouse with, and pull the keypad into my lap & lean back. Very comfortable. I tore my lower back up a few years ago carrying a 60 pound boat battery up steps, and this is a VERY comfortable-on-the-back way to play. So effectively, I need the keypad for my back..... but it works great & I would highly recommend it to anyone. Hi Ferret, how long did it take you to get used to it?

Dark Asylumn you could try a joystick thats what I use Hi Dark, just wanted to know what joystick you use, I would like to try one but not sure which one Cheers

I bought a Razer Nosotromo gamepad back in April but ended up selling it. It takes time to get it properly configured and to get used to it. I didn't like the thumb button all that much. Im using a RAzer Lycosa (backlit) keyboard and I think its great. I wish, however I could find a better mouse than the Razer Death Adder I have...I don't really wanna spend a lot of cash unless I know I will be getting something better. I don't use macros and all the fancy extra buttons and I find that configuring mice could be kinda difficult at times. I need to find a smoother, easy to use mouse...any suggestions? Thanks

spanky i've made a list of everyone who posted on this forum and will be delivering a "explosive" present for each! old-man i'd tell you i'm going to nade you, but you already know that. my suggestion is that we have a nade only round:) ...everyone gets 10nades and no weapons! see how you back shooters do then!!!!!!!!! We should have a few "nade only" maps ;-)

Dark Asylumn I have so seen you nade yourself. You can do it Yes you can Yeah, I guess I could but its kinda boring...

PimpedOutPete Give me a break Joe! I'm on vacation.. Even when Cheesy is on, Pete? :-) just kidding

Cheesy is on but nobody's around, yikes, that sucks! Can't nade myself...can I?

Happy bday rotten devil!! haha,

Hey Sgt, haven't seen you for a while but wanted to wish you a happy bday cheers

Holly crap, just saw Spanky's stats and theres nobody on right now.. hey adms, we need more mp_wow_cheesy on the maps rotation !! cheers, Joe Canadian (aka top victim)

spanky i'm trying to give you a head start on "nade" kills. i give you a couple days to build up your stats then i play for an hour or two and catch up! most of the time it's tdm in the morning, area51 in the afternoon and then dm at night. ha, ha, ha that's what I thought when you showed up really late at night to play, not sure what time zone you are in but hopefully you're not losing your sleep over this. Nice exchanging "nades" with you spanky!

I haven't been able to find anyone on the server for the past two nights.. any idiots on the west coast? cheers, yours truly, Joe Canadian Top Victim

Good question...hopefully not

Hi all adm, the map rotation last night was awesome, too bad we did not get enough players, keep up the good work!

Ruggerxi I will make a couple new map packs and put them in today and take out some of the maps requested here. Dawgy can finish up when he gets back. Thanks Ruggerxi!

Suggestions, Wow Cheesy, Carentan, Matmata, Toujane, Killhouse, El Alamein, GOB Rats 2....
