wait, a red colored plus sign is copyrighted?

it's not like we're giving the symbol a bad name, compared to what the nazis did with the swastika.

that is until we unite and genocide all (anti-videogame) lawyers and lobbyists.

Quote from Fletch

Check your camera to see if it has a white balance option or white balance mode. If it's something like a Sony or Kodak, it might be a shooting mode with snowy mountains or a snowman as the logo.

I was using a Nikon with it's "sand/snow" scene mode.

So then, next time I take pictures of snow that isn't in direct sunlight, how do I make it less blue, without a gigantic flash?

Bad lighting, the sun was being blocked by the nearby mountains...

Just a few pics UE took somewhere in Utah (nothing special, no special photography skills or styles, just plain pictures of lots and lots of snow):

The first six of these are in a BYU-owned campground located in Provo Canyon (between Utah County and Park City, in Utah):

There's more... much much more... but I'll leave this at ten.

-I can't turn in quests a lot of the time. I get them, and I collected 4 oils and when I return to the person it doesn't allow me to turn them in. It says press to talk. I do. Nothing happeans. Kinda led me to a few stops and wasted time.

This is a known bug, sometimes rezoning helps.

Quote from curman

-Where exactly is all the upgrades? I've reached level 5 and all the merchants and sales people I've discovered only sell level 2 items. Maybe I'm not searchin' high enough areas?

the shops are global, that is, what you see, so does the other person, so during busy weekends, all the good stuff may be sold out.

Quote from curman

-A lot of times, I might get disconnected from the server, dont' know why. But when I return it resets all my quests, yet still I remain with the cash I've already earned from them before.

Beta. Shit happens.

past: duke3d, quake

present (rather, the games that I play up to the current date): hl, bf2

anyone that mentions cs over hl, or q3 over q1 or q2, gets a lack of respect.

I'd hit it... err, merry christmas yo

Also talk about the many other Agreements in software you don't read.

Nobody reads these, and companies know this.

I doubt they would hold up in court, for anything with an EULA that would actually send someone to court. (I can't think of a good example right now ). So basically it doesn't really hold as a contract.

I'm too lazy to make the card, but picture: stripper + pringles + beer + caek = happy mazzle

now, insert bday cliche here.

lol mazy

I'd actually kind of like to see a calendar here with game release dates

I'm anticipating the "poo tard extravaganza" thread.

Post your floaters extravaganza

Quote from Kosmo

They were 14 and thought that "life is not worth living"?I just don't know what to say, life doesn't start before around 20 or something, they practically knew nothing about life.

It's a waste.

They should make the legal age of suicide 20

I suck at making jokes today

On the upside, it gets 4mbit cable

Actually, I lack a camera

heh

I have a few of those simpsons stuff...

also, run the manufacturer's diagnosis tools. Maxtor's is powermax, I don't know the name for the other brands. It will tell you if the drive is actually dead or just failing.

Additionally, is that drive still hooked up to a comp that's being used (as in, there's another drive that has the OS on it)? If so, it's probably a good idea to disconnect the faulty drive until you attempt to recover data, otherwise you may be doing more damage to it every time you power it up when you're not using it.

Was the partition NTFS or FAT? This is important.

I used a program called GetDataBack (available in both flavors) back when my new maxtor died 10 months ago.

Note that if the hard drive is already dead and not just failing, it's too late. However, if it is failing, you have hope, but some stuff wont be recoverable, and of course you'll need a spare hard drive with enough free space to recover the data to.

God speed.

Right now I'm messing with trying older ATI drivers, but one thing is holding me back, where the hell are the older ATI drivers at? It's probably in an obvious spot with an easy to find link that says "old drivers", but I could not find them.
