    regarding rapidshare, megaupload and all those other sites that make you wait, type some stupid codes, then wait some more, then cancel your download if you don't click in time -- SkipScreen ftw :)

    Approx. these numbers:


    Windows 7 Home Premium: $120 for upgrade; $200 for full version
    Windows 7 Professional: $200 for upgrade; $300 for full version
    Windows 7 Ultimate: $220 for upgrade; $320 for full version


    You might be able to pre-order, but I think that all major stores are out-of-stock, since there was a massive boom of Win7 pre-orders when they became available.

    Get your facts straight, mate! ;)
    Beta bi-hourly (that means every 30 minutes) shutdowns began July 1st, 2009.
    RC will start shutting down sometime about July, 2010 (so I still have a year or so of free Windows ^^).


    Everyone who's on Beta (7000) should've upgraded to RC (7100) a long time ago :P


    PS: And no, I don't see a reason for dual-booting any obsolete OSs :D

  • Help please

    Hmm maybe try running the regsvr thingy elevated?
    try Start -> "command prompt" -> right-click -> "run as administrator" -> type in the regsvr thingy

  • Help please

    There are like a googol threads here about msinet.ocx ;)


    Solution: open start -> run -> copypasta

    Hope this helps.

    PCI (the one you're talking about) < AGP < PCIE (the one I'm talking about) :)


    Get a PCIE (PCI Express) card if you can -- they're the fastest ;)


    AFAIK PCI isn't used nowadays, and AGP is totally outdated when compared to PCIE. You won't find a GeForce 200-series AGP card ;)

  • Crossfire 1.9 Features

    The license+voice idea would kinda go with my idea that clans should be made into FL factions, so that hostile clans see each other as hostile (red), and vice-versa :)

  • vs Discovery mod

    I see it like this:
    Crossfire merges Freelancer with Starlancer
    Discovery just adds to Freelancer


    Also, Crossfire has just one server, while (AFAIK) anyone can host a Discovery server - this has increased Disco's popularity
