  1. Para, Script School is an excellent, 16 course training program that is free, covers the basics of PHP very well, and gives you access to other sources of assistance. There's one thing though... it's run by an Adult webmaster, and although the site itself is entirely clean/safe, there will be mention of it at times.
  2. Yep, Martin Luther King was 20th century. Martin Luther was just a bit before though. About 500 years before.
  3. The file in question is installed in the default Ghost Recon directory when you install the game. If it's not there, then there must have been an error on install, or it's gone missing after the fact. The best solution? Reinstall GR. You won't find the file in the usual DLL places since it's not a system file, it's a GR file specifically, thus illegal to host for download to the general public.
  4. I live in Toronto, and my neighbourhood was the last in the area to get power restored. We were fully without electricity for just a few minutes shy of 41 hours. Apparently my local switching station, the one that powers about ten square blocks, had a flooding issue related to the power failure. Forty-one hours with no power. It's been an amazing experience though. Within minutes of the blackout, people started to realize that something more significant than a localized power blip had occurred, and the bars in this city did record business. Many people were quoted by the media (a

    XIII Demo

    When I first installed the demo, any mouse movement made my mouselook go raving mad. A quick reboot later, and it ran rather nicely. The demo certainly was fun. Simple (although I don't mean easy) but fun.
  6. Normally you would pick up firmware at the drive's manufacturer's website, or your computer manufacturer's site. It's unlikely that it is a firmware issue, if the error you were getting mentioned the RPC server, and you had the msblast.exe worm, which directly affected the RPC server. Get rid of the blaster, and you *should* be good to go.
  7. In that case, yes, it is a good deal. It's not great though. Give NewEgg.com a try. I've filtered out a list of GF FX 5600's (although I didn't remove the cards with only 128 megs of RAM, sorry), and the same tech you are looking at start at $140USD, with the first major brand name card being a Gainward for $154.99 Still, the price you quoted is very reasonable. Enjoy the new card.
  8. Not exactly what you were looking for, perhaps, but this site is selling a few of those models from $1650-$12500USD, depending on exact model and condition.
  9. What's the currency in? USD? AUD? CAD? "
  10. I don't know of any automated program that would let you do this without a VNC style client of some kind. In terms of the fastest way to do it, writing two batch files (*.bat). The first one, named "TCZ Only.bat" for example, would upon a double click, either rename or move all of the non-standard *.mis files in the "C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods\Origmiss\Mission\" path (that's the default). The batch file would have to be updated each time you added more custom missions, but that's the easy part. It may also be easier to rename custom missions in a way that
  11. I recall there is a file that is on the server that can be edited to create a map rotation list, although I don't recall the name of the file. I think JP from 7S does know. Anyway, either by creating two copies of the file I just mentioned, one for TCZ and one for fun play, you could use remotely exchange the files on your server as needed, and restart the application. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two to do it manually. Alternately, you could write two batch files that move the server sided map mods out of the GR directory and return them afterwards. A little more work, but on
  12. Gunpoint 3D Nicely enough, their licence agreement reads: Hmm.... You can grab content from them for a fee or free, depending on what it is, and as long as it's compiled and thus the 3dsm file isn't accessible to the general public, use it as you see fit ingame. Niceness.
  13. Considering that Roger Wilco is the only proper voice comm application that even has any sort of Mac support with regards to the client side, that may be your only choice. The other big players like Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, BattleCom & GameVoice (and more, I'm sure I missed a few) do not have Mac clients. Servers, sure, but that won't help you. Perhaps, if it will be just the two of you in comms, something like MSN Messenger, ICQ or Yahoo's voice support may be good enough.. assuming the Mac clients support voice. I don't have a Mac handy to give better advice, unfortunately.
  14. This is not part of the msblast virus, for the record. the LSA shell (or lsass.exe) is a legitimate Windows 2000/XP tool foir managing access permissions, and is associated with several Microsoft web services, such as MSN Explorer, Frontpage 2002, and a slew of .NET based services. It's reasonably harmless a process, as Windows 2000 SP3 and above (including XP) error checks the file as part of it's regular maintenance, to ensure that the file lsass.exe is the proper legitimate version. Although you certainly could deny lsass.exe from connecting/being connected to via your firewall, yo
  15. Sorry to bump an old subject, but this little emoticon that got posted on my team's site caught my eye...
  16. MSN Messenger 6 is just a newer version of the "regular" MSN Messenger (or Windows Messenger for XP) app. It adds new functionality to your existing Passport-enabled email address (such as a Hotmail account). Thus, if you have a Hotmail account, you already have an MSN chat account. You just need to plug in your vitals and go. If you want to use AIM/ICQ as well as MSN, you'll either need to run clients for all three separately, or use a meta-messenger like Trillian or Jabber.
  17. Just to clarify something... The EAX issue listed has nothing to do with Creative's 3d sound technology, but instead is... well, let me just paste the quote. Again, not audio related, but an internal X86 32 bit architecture call.
  18. The reason you have to quit Ghost Recon when changing lobbies is that the game browser that is bundled with GR (Ubi.com) is not a part of Ghost Recon. It does allow you to find games, but since it is a completely independant application, GR does not interact with it beyond the basic entry into servers. There is no actual game browser in the classic CS/Quake style. It's unfortunate, but that's the way the game was made.
  19. TCZ's three member rule does not apply to the 2 vs. 2 ladder. You can safely ignore it, and if you have any difficulty, let an administrator there know
  20. My Fender Stratocaster, which I purchased (unbeknownst to me at the time) on August 26, 1990. It just so happens to be the day Stevie Ray Vaughn died. I was convinced the guitar sales guy was just joking with me, until I got my new baby home, and heard the news. Of course, that gives my Strat even more significance to me, as time goes by. I don't play out much these days, but I keep in close contact with a few minor notables, musically. In fact, Pat Rush is a good friend of mine. If you don't know who Pat Rush is, give his name a Google. I have had the chance in the past to pl
  21. It's broken because the link is incorrect. It should be http://exonet.dnsalias.com/index/directory.html, not /directories.html.
  22. If you are looking specifically for Mac servers, as I understand it, GameRanger's server browser is the way to go. Also, as long as you have the same mods and version number, Macs and PC's are Ghost Recon friendly with each other.
  23. VDL Camouflage plugin, along with a few other free/cheapware plugins can be nabbed at the link.
