    15 year old shot and killed

    It's obvious that the family is in grief, which is why they don't understand the gravity of the situation. In time, after their sorrow subsides, they may see that the man only did what he had to. But, in the mean time, their grief won't let them see reason, and they may never see reason...

    Only certain ranks give you unlocks.

    Is buying a dual core processor too limiting?

    Another point to make, processor handling shouldn't be handled by the game, it should be handled by the OS. The game should only make requests of the system, and the system should decide how to handle it. That's why Microsoft implemented HAL in the first place isn't it?

    Ok, thanks guys. Come to find out, you have to exit BFHQ and re-enter and the weapons unlock pops back up.

    Battlefield 2 unlocking weapons

    Ok, so I got a rank, and chose to unlock my weapon later; now I can't seem to figure out how to unlock any weapons. Anybody know how?

    FPS games

    I think it's from not blinking. Civ doesn't require as much focus and attention as FPS games. Blink once in a while and keep your eyes moisturized, take a break at least once an hour.

    BF2 on non-Admin accounts

    I have been playing BF2 on my admin account, and now I've set up non-admin accounts for everybody in the house. When I run BF2 it always asks me for admin p/w, even though it's set to run as admin for all users. When I check properties, the run as admin option is unchecked, but if i check...

    Is buying a dual core processor too limiting?

    I really don't see how they can make games that REQUIRE quad core chips for years to come. If they did that, their customer base would be so small, they'd have to charge 150-200 dollars to make a profit. They will continue to make games to feed the masses and deal with the current limitations...

    Free, secure file transfer software

    Safest and easiest way is to put them on a jump drive and hand deliver them.

    Is it just me, or is Vista remarkably faster?

    Actually, the indexing starts within a few minutes of installing, according to Microsoft, and should only take 15-30 minutes.

    I now have a reason to dislike Vista

    Right click the file, properties, advanced button on the general tab, then uncheck the 'Index this file for faster searching' option...and that took me all of 30 seconds to figure out.

    VC++ 2005

    There's a guy that works at my company who still programs in Fortran. That's something I'd like to learn someday since it's a low level language. I've heard it's 10 times harder than C to learn.

    VC++ 2005

    So, I guess that means my school, which advertises that they teach today's skills for tomorrow's jobs, are actually teaching yesterday's skills for the jobs that were filled today. This is how they taught us C programming just a year ago. Thanks for the info guys... Oh, and should I use...
