Cirrhosis sucks man, stop while you can!

I have gotten used to the Axis since this thread was made. However, I still think the Wahrmacht are inferior to the Panzer Elite.

I need to stop playing games, I'm way out of the loop! Grats.

Every operating system is insecure, news at 11. First and foremost, most AV software for OSX does more harm than good. It usually doesn't scan for OSX based viruses, it usually scans for Windows based viruses. There are very, very few OSX based viruses, and there are no zero contact privilege escalating viruses yet. If you willingly open a virus then you're an idiot, an operating system can't prevent someone from being pants-on-head retarded. If a virus requires zero interaction to take over your computer then the authors need to fix it ASAP. Secondly, the OSX security model (which is based on unix which is what linux is based on) is quite a bit better than Windows' legacy security model. In OSX and generally any *nix you never fucking run as root, you run as a user. Nearly all programs are written in such a way that you don't have to be root to use it. This way if an application has a hole in it and the application is compromised by a malicious program (through no interaction of the user), then all it can do is trash what the user has access to, which is severely limited. It will have to find an exploit that allows it to elevate to that of the root user in order to do any real harm. Now let's contrast this with Windows. Traditionally programs for windows have required root access. You have to install the thing as root, run it as root, and basically be root the entire time. So if there's a hole in the application and it's compromised, you're fucked. Complete and total access to your system. Of course Microsoft improved this in Vista so you're a regular user but people still program assuming they have root access to the machine. Horrible, horrible coding practices. Then everyone complained about UAC being annoying as hell but they should be yelling at the developers for requiring root access so fucking much. Lastly and most importantly, Apple has been recommending the use of AV software for years. They just updated that webpage, it's been around for longer. This is being reported everywhere as if it's a new development, it's not. As an aside, I don't run antivirus software on my macbook. I'm not retarded and there's currently nothing even remotely dangerous out in the wild that people with more than two brain cells should be worried about.

Good god my ears are bleeding. Figures, they're from Boulder. Fucking hippies.

There are no womins on teh intertubez.

Nerd Alert! Seriously though, I slept through Thanksgiving =P.

Torrents are not illegal. Downloading copyrighted material is not illegal. Distributing copyrighted material without the owner's consent is illegal. If it's a copyrighted work, don't post a link to the torrent. If it's a linux distribution or something like that then feel free to post a link to the torrent. That's the gist of it.

LitKey and I had to deactivate and modify all of Itend's bans and do damage control in the appeals section. For that reason alone I say Itend. Way to ruin my game time =/.

Good luck, LitKey.

Good luck, Red.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. About time I say. Grats guys.

I'll take your post seriously when you use punctuation, proper grammar, and proper spelling. Until then I'm not even going to read it.

It'd be better if Black Isle Studios was back tbh. In either case, I loved the original Fallout storylines. MMOs on the other hand never have storylines, they can't because of their very nature. So I'll be passing up on this. But hey, since they're forming a new studio where Black Isle used to be located, perhaps we'll get an Icewind Dale MMO next. Then a Baldur's Gate MMO. Then maybe a Planescape: Torment MMO. You can never have enough monthly income, eh?

Closer to $60 with current exchange rates. The extra money is clearly for the privilege of using SecuRom.

Very interesting...

I'll look into this in a bit. I don't think the script will work as is, and it might need some modifying.

Raven from now on will be known as your lord and master, obey him or suffer the consequences!

The Anti-rejoin functionality is built into Mani. Short of disabling it there's really nothing we can do until Mani updates his plugin, which won't be until CSS is ported to the Orange Box. edit - Technically I could write a custom script with the same functionality and disable it in Mani... Dunno how well it'd work though.

Tbh I have no idea what you're talking. Perhaps if you were to describe the problem rather than write a sensationalistic story about it we could do something ;).
