Thanks, Im going to try that, :!: OK, Another dumb question: :arrow: I just built a machine for a friend who hasn't picked it up yet, so it's sitting here. I installed D3 on it. HOw would I do a LAN party with it for kicks? I have a wireless router, etc. I do know how to get into the router settings...

Ned

Yeah, I think I heard that, so I may TRY more.

I have an optical trackball, which I LOVE for everyday work, I'm not sure if it adds to lag or jitteriness in gameplay. . .

If anyone is looking for a pointing device, these things are FANTASTIC.

Ned

Cool

I think my Linksys router WRT54G has a firewall. Any tips on how to disable it?

Keep in mind, I am fairly clueless

Ned

I took apart my attack2 because it was too jittery at middle stick. It didn't really look like anything I could fix, so I had a funeral and didn't put it together. I guess I'll get an Attack3 or something. Tried Mousing: too hard. I want to get better control so I can start to fry some of you all in...

Ned

ok, I'm trying to get 2 friends into it.

Not sure how to do it though

Ned

Is it possible to have two people playing Descent3 with no server, or whatever, just specify each other's IP address or something?

Ned

Keep us posted on how Windows XP64 Edition 1 turns out

The "edition 1" from mikrosoft scared me

Mobiaie?

Am I the only one who is very afraid now?

Do check the return policy first.

Ned

I may need to build another machine this fall.

I'll likely follow this pattern

939 chip and Asus MB

Mmmmmmmm new plastic smell and tower case metal cuts . . . .

Ned

I am thinking of getting the Nostromo keypad thing.

Anyone have reviews + or - ??

Ned

Sometimes I daydream about making an arcade shell for D3. Lay back lawn chair style, LCD above your head, etc. Ah, if only!

You all are in serious trouble if I ever map things tha make ANY sense

Ned

I DO appreciate the input; unfortunately the order had to be placed quickly, so I couldn't get full feedback or permission from Y'all :P before doing it. 'The Dad' was willing to pay and only a few hours to make an order. The machine is going to be fine. Mine is great for my needs and not even as go...

So I go on Amazon to buy a Descent3 CD. It says: Descent3 CD new (etc.) $1.05 so I'm like: cool! I'll get like four, but I wonder how much shipping will be? so Amazon screens says like: $4.20 plus estimated shipping "shown below". Problem: there is NO shipping estimated, mentioned, or clic...

Thanks for the ideas, I threw caution to the wind and did the following: 1 MB ASUS K8V SE DELUXE K8T800 1 VGA EVGA|GF 6800 1 CPU AMD 64 |3400+ ATHLON 64 754 3 DDR 512MB|DDR400 CL3 PC3200 RTL 1 HD 160GB|WD 7200 WD1600JB 8MB% - OEM 1 CDRW 52X32X52 ASUS CRW-5232A3 BLK R - Retail 1 NEC 16X DVDRW DL ND-3...

Ned

Help!, I think I am going to walk a friend through building a machine (He is heading off to college soon). I want to essentially just build mine again, but that would be silly since I built mine a year ago, and I'm sure stuff is a little better now. I'll post my specs (so you can see the medium/aver...

Ned

Thanks for the ideas

I am surprised at the huge speed differences

Sam's was selling some SD cards with 150kB/sec transfer rate

THe corsair I mentioned is like 6 MB/sec

Apparently that affects the lag between photos, in videos modes it may or may not cause a freeze

Ned

Ignore idiots.

If they act like that daily, they WILL eventually run into a cop (who is paid to take them down).

Ned

I need to buy some SD cards for a video project and I'm debating which company to buy from. What company do you like and WHY specifically. Contenders: PNY Kingston Kingmax Lexar Crucial SanDisk Ridata Corsair etc. Some people here seem to love corsair, so I was considering this one: www.newegg.com/P...

Ned

USB or firewire external hard drive

older CDRs were almost as bad as Iomega Zips
(who got sued and lost for bad reliability)

Ned

I agree big time It wouldnâ??t be a bad idea to write out the history of descent with every lawsuit they dealt with including the complicated events, that brought the rise and fall of this great game. Start off explaining how it should have become a giant, like Final Fantasy, GTA, Quake, and Doom, t...

Ned

Are there any utilities to see if someone if getting on your wLAN through your access point:?:

I have a Linksys

Ned

that's me in the red shirt and a plane I built from scratch

I cannot get the image thing to work

Ned

Bettina, Its not that we donâ??t like you. We both appreciate that you are a fairly skilled pilot. Wrong, she's an awesome pilot. She has asked politely so she can turn up her speakers, enjoy the game to it's fullest and not be mortified when "@#$@#&^% piece of &^%&#%$" comes ...

Ned

I'm jealous

Im trying to talk 2 people into building at the moment.

Win98 with many viruses

Win98 with 175 RAM (or some weird number)

both are Hurtin

Ned

I appreciate that

, but I'd rather buy something in the store or whatever, but I want to do more than just gifs. It would be cool to do AVI or mpeg too.

Maybe some of the astronomy sites will have something

Ned

I want to take like a 100 frames and make an AVI or mpg. I know how to make a motion GIF in photoshop, but it's tedious.

Ned

Your g/f has pretty eyes, good job on yer Goattttti too!

Hi Bettina! I miss your laser on my hide in the mines. . . Rods may work if they are science based, not paranormal based. Maybe they had very strong magnets on the ends, although I kind of doubt it, as a good digital sensor probly would be more sensitive. Dowsing is a fairly disproven idea. One of m...

I just have gerbils on a generator treadmill
When I give 'em speed, I can even sell some power back . .

more interestingly
How did that site make a pop-up when I've got them blocked in Forefox?

Ned

Well, I never have anything open when it happens. THanks for the input.

I usually just pull the plug.

Mankind has walked on the moon, but Microsoft and Western Digital can't work this trivial crap out?

not quite what i was talking about, but close. that article talks about quantum states of photons traveling down a physical fibre optic pipe. what i was talking about was NO PIPE. is it called quantum tunneling? where the actual mystical LINK between the 2 quantum entangled photons is utilised to t...

When I try to do the liitle greeen "stop device" arrow it says *The device 'Generic Volume' cannot be stopped because a progam is still accessing it* I cannot tell you how annoying this is. Memory sticks never do this, and driver reinstall doesn't help. Compression and indexing services ar...

Ned

t know both states as soon as you know one. As of yet, there is no way to actually impose one state over another in order to yield useful communication. But it is nonetheless some form of communication, yes. Im not sure thats true: http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/quantum-world/dn50...

That whole scientology thing means his brain is incorrectly programmed to distinguish truth from fiction.

It hurts me deeply to say this in public, but Mobius is RIGHT!
