  1. When you kill all of the enemy soldiers in and directly around the cave, without engaging him directly, he'll put his pistol away and surrender. Avoid him until you've cleared everyone else out from the caves and area, then you're good to go.
  2. I'm not sure if Ubisoft directly produced Jungle Storm, but if they did, it being a brand new set of eight missions (I believe), then it's more than feasible it may be released as a PC mission pack.
  3. Just a quick note: "Not all Canadians are against us." Is it even possible that Bush's "If you're not with us, you're against us" doctrine is narrow-minded? To disagree with a political movement doesn't mean one is intrinsically actively opposed to it. I'm glad you found a Canadian author who suits your point of view, but to imply that those who disagree are against you... poorly brought up, methinks. But hey, I'm just a Canadian. What do I know?
  4. Gotcha. Won the bandwidth lottery then, did ya?
  5. My question is why add it to the general forum index if it's for limited access only? Wouldn't it make more sense to integrate it directly with the 'groups' index it is meant for? Or does Rocky want a few hundred emails asking how to access the file manager?
  6. ...plus the fact that the graphics processing unit on the GeForce FX series is at least three full generations newer. That may help too.
  7. Please do yourself a favour: If at all possible, make sure you actually hold the instrument in your hands before considering purchasing it. In fact, if you do go for the Squier box (which is a fine quality starter guitar, indeed) and there is more than one "box" on the shelf, open them all. Hold every one of those guitars in your hands and just feel how it feels. It may sound a bit odd, but every instrument is truly unique, mass-manufactured or not. By taking the time to at least feel them all first, you will be sure down the road that you selected the best you could possibly have cho
  8. I've been playing for about fifteen years now, and the one critical bit of advice I can give, which mirrors some of the folks above me in this thread, is purchase the best instrument you can possibly afford. No, in fact, purchase the best instrument you can almost afford if it's possible. It's just not realistic for a carpenter to skimp on his tools and expect to build a solid frame, right? The same applies to musical instruments. A "cheap" instrument will prevent you from ever playing better than it is capable of, while a quality (and it doesn't have to be earthshatteringly expensiv
  9. @SOTOPhantm: Relax! Sheesh. I knew exactly what you meant. Like I said, I'm no expert, I just have pretty good research skills and just enough actual knowledge to be dangerous. I don't mind in the slightest being shown to be incorrect about something. How else am I going to learn, bro?
  10. I lifted it from a school's troubleshooting page. I'm not exactly a network guru, but I thought it might help. C'est la vie. Best of luck, gents, and please, PLEASE post the solution when you figure it out. I'd like to know the best way as well.
  11. First off, I'm not an American, so please understand that I'm taking what I say with a grain of salt. I believe that Arlington is significant for the history it represents. It is neither a federal government site, nor is it a religious site. It is the (recent) past represented. At risk of offence, removing the crosses would be akin to removing the Gutenberg Bible from a federally funded museum. I think that the ACLU's challenges are important to US society, though. People need to face these sorts of challenges to ensure they remember why it is important to them that things be as the
  12. From This Link: Windows XP Pro Before you can password protect or disable open shares on WindowsXP Pro, you must disable Simple Fire Sharing. 1. Click Start, and then click My Computer. 2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab. 3. In the Advanced Settings section, clear the "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" check box. 4. Click OK. Now, to close your open shares, do the following: 5. Right click My computer on the desktop, then click Manage. 6. Double-Click on Shared Folders. 7. Then, click on Shared Files. 8. In the right-hand pane, you will no
  13. Ah, right. I hadn't considered your need to access the WAN as part of it, just to use it for `net access. File/print sharing becomes significantly more... shall we say... insecure when your files are visible to the entire campus.
  14. I keep a folder on my secondary hard drive shared, and mapped it on the other machines on my LAN to a drive letter. The other machines reconnect to the mapped drive on bootup, and it's all nice and transparent. Just drop the files you want to keep shared into that directory, et voila. It's also handy when friends come by, since I've also got a wireless router configured. As long as the MAC address is in my "allowed access" table, those who bring their 802.11b laptops by are good to go as soon as they hit the corner of my block. Of course, to prevent war driving, 128bit WEP helps too.
  15. The fact that Adaware and Spybot find spyware in things like Microsoft products merely indicates that the programs are working. When an application, without your knowlege or permission, takes information from your computer use habits, such as filenames of mp3's opened in WMP, and reports them to Microsoft (even if "anonymously") then that application is defined as spyware. Sure, it may be the most harmless thing to you, but that doesn't mean it isn't going on. MS Works, MS Office, WMP and a slew of other Microsoft products (as well as some Creative driver sets/applications) all techni
  16. Three steps: Make sure all computers have the same "workgroup" set Turn off the XP firewall (and any other firewalls BEHIND the router) Turn on sharing for the drives/folders in question It should be that simple. "Workgroup" is set in the "computer name" tab in the properties of "My Computer", the XP firewall is in the advanced properties of the connection details, and sharing is done by right clicking on the drive/folder in question.
  17. Spool32 help from Microsoft.
  18. There's another shortcut as well. Let's say you have a folder with the following files in it: movie.avi moving day.doc moose.gif To delete the AVI, you could type >del movie* To delete the AVI and DOC, type >del mov* To delete all three, type >del m* Wildcards. Gotta love `em.
  19. The RAD Video Tools allow you to convert movies between many popular formats, including adding the ability to turn them into Bink files (like the intro movies for Battlefield 1942 & Raven Shield), as well as self-playing *.exe files. It's also free.

    Posting Pics

    Any images you want to display here need to already be on a webserver somewhere, that allows image linking. If you ISP provides webspace, you're already ahead. Otherwise, find someone kind enough (or a free service, although I don't know of any personally) to upload the pic for you, slkrth.
  21. From a (gasp) committee I was on for a former employer not that long ago: I felt so dirty.

    Yahoo! doesn't allow linking to pictures in those web albums, so give me a minute and I'll upload the image for you to some space I have... Yahoo doesn't like bandwidth "theft" per se, so they deliberately block hotlinking to images there.
  23. Musician. It didn't matter if you had long hair or short, wore alligator shirts or torn jeans, got straight A's or straight D's. The music students were a clique made up of people who also "belonged" to other cliques. I was the long haired semi-stoner hippy type who tought one of my teachers how to program in BASIC, so he could teach the class I was in, while placing regularly in the top 5% in the University of Waterloo Math Contests (a Canadian thing), and playing euchre for hours in the caf with whoever was about.

  25. For ADSL, you are likely going to use PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) to connect to your ISP. In this case, a simple ethernet hub should suffice (but check with your ISP if multiple IP's are allowed), which would allow you to connect standard Cat-5 from each PC to the hub, then uplink the hub to the ADSL modem, and then each computer would use the PPPoE software (or the built in XP client) to connect independantly. The advantage of this situation, is the ability to have distinctly different public IP addresses for any machine on the network, and the incredible simplicity of t
