I started working. It's kinda hard to play too too much when you're getting home at 21:00, and then be up the next morning by 06:30 and out the door by 07:00. Kinda harder when you have to do that 6 days a week. <.< To be fair though I've almost doubled what my original net pay was supposed to be (thank god I'm paid by the hour).

I KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL YOU!!!! D:

6 x supported devices 4 x supported motherboards 5 x supported GFX devices 2 x supported operating systems 6 x 4 x 5 x 2 = 240 permutations. Each and every one of them must be examined and sanity checked (1 to 2 hours per test if I'm sticking to base sanity). Throw in constant new builds of the software. Time it takes to file the paper work, test regressions. Now throw in client bug report verification, more paperwork, meetings with international clients.... <.< Not too bad though; the boss don't seem to mind if I slack off after 8:00 that much though. 30% productivity at that point is acceptable. Never bored, just numb some days. PS: In case you say BS; they also gave me an apartment key. That the office rented out incase we needed to sleep overnight at the office. And they've expensed my meals more then once.

Actually gunthar I think BF3s netcode and ARMA2's netcode are about par. You need to understand; DICE hasn't really changed the netcode since BF2; lots of tweaks and the like but no big changes. BF3 however just hides the rubber banding and desync better; Player hitboxes can be rubberbanding all over the place but the client side player smoothing makes it looks like it's 100% fluid. ARMA2 strictly enforces having the hitboxes and avatar locations in the same so even if someone's rubber banding, if you hit them you hit them regardless. Plus ARMA2 has to deal information several orders larger then what BF3 deals with. Not saying it's good netcode, just saying they're both shit.

...... I have 9 hours in. And that's pretty playing every free waking moment I had on that game. :\

7am on a Saturday. I'm in bed when I thought I heard voices coming down the hall... Takes a moment for me to suddenly realize I'm not dreaming and I am hearing voices down the hall. Fall outta bed looking for anything that I can use for a weapon and cursing that I had left my guns in the other room. ....takes me a second to realize it was Zeno. Talking on teamspeak because I had forgotten to log off the previous night. >.<

If your store has the Blackwidows for retail then the box will have an open window that lets you tap on the arrow keys. Typing on a mechanical's about the same as a rubber dome I find until you learn to have a very light touch with the thing and stop bottoming out the keys. Once you do that then all of a sudden the mechanicals make sense because then it's just a light tap for the key to register and then you start feeling the difference. Just a word of warning, it weighs about two to three times as much as most other keyboards of the same size so don't plan on hauling it around too much.

@Xviiper: I'm using a black widow ultimate right now. Nice but the clicky gets very irritating very quickly. :s The new black widow stealth addresses the problems I'm finding with the ultimate (cherry mx browns, full n key rollover, and matte finish instead of glossy). It's nice to program and type on though, and the macro keys are handy for certain features (I use my to change views in eclipse, and the occasional insert piece of repetitive code). Once you get used to not bottoming out it's actually a fairly quiet keyboard (trick is...not bottoming out. XD ). Thinking about showing it to a relative though; she does a ton of typing and if she likes this keyboard I'll give this one to her once the stealths get run through the ringer and vetted by the market. Till then...clickyclickyclickyclickyclickyclickyclicky!!!!

No but it'd be kinda nice to be able to be able to have 7 or 8 VMs running in the background, half of them doing a compile job and playing ARMA 2 at the same time without slowdown... Plus I've finally realized that the probability of a chick ever going out with me is about the same as me figuring out a practical and inexpensive solution to cold fusion AND the answer to global warming using a paper clip and chewing gum at the same time.

So is this system overkill?

I'm half kidding

Lucky bastard, an SSD at that level starts $250 and up here.

<.< well then...THREAD HIJACK!! > Like I said, real world performance. The benchmarks always provide pretty numbers but with real world observation I have never seen an OS boot faster or game load faster under RAID0. At most I saw maybe 1 to 2 second difference in load times in the most intensive of operations (like loading Crysis). Everything else chugged along with differences measures in milliseconds; for the risk and the price of doubling hard drives it hardly seemed worth the effort. Nothing that particularly justified the CPU usage overhead. Maybe newer mobos like sandybridge implement better RAID controllers but my Asus P6T v2 (X58 based chipset) never gave me any appreciable difference. I eventually changed it back to a standard setup.

I would disagree; tyler mentioned that the system will primarily be a workstation that has gaming capability. Going on that priority I`d lean more towards cost effectiveness and reliability and compromise on the video card. AT most it usually means the difference between playing say Battlefield 3 on all high settings vs playing it on all medium settings. Not to mention the graphics card is the easiest part in the whole system to swap out. Reliability`s also part of the reason I don`t recommend RAID0. Except in server situations I have never had any real world performance benefits of running a RAID0 setup for desktops. Whatever throughput you could push into a RAID0 was generally offset by the CPU usage overhead. Very few desktop mobos included an actual RAID control, vs server motherboards that included very powerful ones. Without a dedicated controller and without saturating the throughput, RAID0 gives you improvement that`s measured in 10ths of a second. To put it another way, both my parent`s computers are setup in RAID1 configuration. I did a `stopwatch` measurement of boot times on their machines before and after the RAID1 config. The difference in windows 7 loading times amounted to less then a second performance penalty (think closer to 0.5 second) and well the margin of human caused error. SSDs and fast spindle speeds are really the only thing that gave any marked improvement and the difference will still be measured in less then the time it takes for you to read this entire sentence.

Medic, next time you see your dad could you ask him how the hell you get around a carrier? All I know is from that one episode of NCIS that shows a string of numbers (something like 26-E-42 or something like that). If it's classified or anything like that then, no problem then. BTW, since it's been tied for a month, I've decided to throw my weight...

I think you need to be on facebook to get the deal because they've already hit 500

...you know, there might be a slight problem when you need to play another game while playing Eve online to stay entertained.

Yes, Skyrim should be awesome.

CVN-65 USS Enterprise OR CVN-68 USS Nimitz For those of you that play with me, you know what I'm talking about. For those that don't, vote for the one you like better. Decide the fate of an entire.... project... that didn't sound as epic as I wanted it to.

+1 for vopsound. The DMR and M14 sounds are dead on to real life, and the M4 is a pretty damn close approximation. <-- Has fired his M305/M14 and an AR15 without hearing protection. Just once each and on separate occasions, but the sounds are just right.

Always spawning with your default kit no matter how many times you save at the gear box? TOW and METIS launcher missiles not going where you?re aiming? Backpack not working? Have no fear! A fix has been found. Cause: Chances are that you?ve played on the Sparta servers with the GMJ sight adjustment, and that you updated ACE2 mod using the Six Updater. This has a slight issue in that GMJ is dependant on another mod folder, @CBA which is a differing version then what ACE 2 needs. Six Updater will NOT override this folder so but it allows you to connect anyways with it, with all sorts of fun problems. Here?s what you do to fix it. 1) Go to your ARMA 2 folder with all your mod folders. Rename your current @CBA folder to something else, (ie: @CBA1. Please note that folder is not compatible with the original SPARTA domination server, so in order to play both, create a new shortcut that links to whatever you named your old CBA folder) 2) Go to your six updater GUI and on the main page, go to the ?Actions- menu and select, ?Install or update? 3) Click on execute. The program will run through them all and then install the proper @CBA folder. If you haven?t already, have six updater create a shortcut for you to use, as launching all the time from the updater will cause problems for you in the future. 4) We?re not quite finished yet. The updater would?ve forced your @ACE folder to version 10.319, so when you go onto the server it?ll start pinging you to update to the server version, 10.316. You?ll have to roll back manually. 5) Go to http://ace.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page and scroll down to the downloads section. You?re going to want @ACE v1.0.10.316 (84 MB) (or whatever the server version is at the moment). Download the appropriate version, then go to your ARMA2 folder again, delete @ACE and put in the version you just downloaded. 6) Connect to the SPARTA ACE server, and enjoy.

You're mistaken. It's 1205 kilometers out as evidenced by the screen shot. The way point reference was on the main base and the helos only have enough fuel to make a single 600 kilometer jump. You need to touch down half way and refuel it with engineering capability, which is why I said bring a salvage truck. The F35 can't make the trip on a single tank of gas either, you start running on fumes at 600 km and then you're flame out at 720 km or so. And Kalxen's evil. He figured out how, only reason I figured it out was because of my IT background that lets me see through nonsensical code... mostly because I don't write code, I sit around trying to figure out someone else's code and write documentation for it. God some people suck at commenting **GLARE!!!**. You guys play Eve online, and you call me crazy? Dude, once I pulled a 20 hour shift at the keyboard on Eve Online, got 4 hours to eat, shower, sleep, and then be back on for the next shift. Usually I logged anywhere from 34 to 50 hours online per week. Only reason I wasn't pulling 60 a week was because I was still in school at the time. EVE is crazy (which is why I left), ARMA 2 is relaxing.

I never thought you'd be so low as to go to such absurd extents to hide it, but I found the F-35 you hid on the big dom map! after carefully dissecting your code!! But this is low even for you. :( :( I'm going to tell everyone how to find it just to be mean!! 1) You're going to need to be an engineer, an MH60 chopper and the salvage truck if you're going to go solo. Ideally you'd need someone that can swap positions with you that's also an engineer. Set your way point at base as it will be your only point of reference for the entire trip, without it you're going to get hopelessly lost. 2) Fly up north to the 000 latitude line, then turn west and settle in for the long haul. 3) Fly 600 kilometers (that's right, 600) west, then touch down and use your engineering skills to refuel it. This is about a 3 hour flight from base to here. Ideally this is when you swap pilots so that you can go take a break. 4) Fly another 600 kilometers continuing west and hugging the the 000 latitude line as close as possible. Once you get abuot 1200 kilometers, look around. Setting view distance to 10km helps a lot here. It'll be around there. 5) This is important. MAKE SURE YOUR ENGINEERING CAPABILITY IS RESTORED BEFORE TAKING OFF!!!! The F35 does NOT have enough fuel to make the entire trip in one leg much like the MH60s, and can only do 600km one a single tank. It's a two leg trip and total flight time is about 2 hours back to the base. SO IN YOUR FACE KALXEN!!!! Took me freaking 8 hours non stop flying to get it, but I now has your F35 in big dom!!!
