Parents: Would you have your children abducted and flown to Jamaica for up to several years on end to be mentally and physically tortured into good behaviour?

Some would, which is bad. Worse still, some have.

And the dissenting opinion: http://www.wwasps.org/

Some people can't tell the difference between kids and hood ornaments... 

That just makes me feel sick with anger. 

sounds pretty cool for a prison
but its against the law 

Ignore the firs line. Its not cool even for a youth prison.
Braking the personality of a child doesnt produce a good human, rather opposite - it could result in a sick person who possesses more threat to others than any rebell or hooligan 

geez, that place sounds like something out of 1984. The part that really freaked me out was where one of the former inmates was saying that the guards try to figure out what you're thinking all the time, and then they impose the thoughts of their system over that, and if they figure out you're thinking about something else then there's 'hell to pay'.

To me, it sounds much worse than a prison though. And I don't think anyone deserves to go there, whatever the end result is, although it sounds like you're left with a catatonic brainwashed kid who's scared to display emotion and has recurring nightmares about being forced to return for the rest of their life. Mind you, if anyone deserved to go there it would be the parents :P

I don't know if it could happen in the UK, it wouldn't surprise me a great deal i suppose; recently it seems like regular people here aren't much more difficult to brainwash than a lot of Americans. 

i always thought sv_aim 1 turned auto aiming off??

its what i use anyway. it works.. 

From Console Commands,

"sv_aim

Type: Register

Default: 0.93

Range: 0.0 - 1.0

Description: The leniency value for player's aim adjustment.

Note: This variable controls how lenient the game is when it comes to the player's aim. The current setting allows a player to shoot a little off the target and still score a hit. This variable might be useful for single-player games but it is quite annoying
in multiplayer games. Most serv administrators set this variable to a value of 1 in order to remove the server's help when it comes to the player's aim. If you run a public server, make sure that you use this setting" 

sorry. :) 

would anyone be interested in a q1sp mod that makes monsters respawn?
i've been goofing around with it today, and it is pretty fun... makes even stock quake maps blindingly fast and difficult. 

either way, sounds fun. Why not upload it? 

rats.

i'll probably still release it for qexpo, but i was hoping it was something original... :P 

Is hilarious.

This should be made into a real mod. 

make sure you release the mod at Qexpo.

It sounds like fun and i dont think anyone else has done it. 

:)

there's also a modification to dm, which keeps monsters there, so you can dm like in doom, with the respawning monsters... 

I've tried www.tenfourmaps.com but there's nothing there... where've the buggers gone?

From http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20030529/UVIDEN/Science/Idx

"Dr. Bavelier and research partner Shawn Green compared two groups of male students, aged 18 to 23. Men in the first group played action video games for a minimum of an hour a day, at least four days a week. (Women weren't included because they could only find one on the University of Rochester campus who qualified.)"

How qualified does a person, much less a woman, need to be to play a game?! 

They need to play action games at least one hour a day four days a week. 

I released my respawning monster mod yesterday... http://www.qexpo.com/booths.php?id=39&si=40&sk=qzemTqnc

or download: http://www.qexpo.com/uploaded/39/ne_respawn.zip

instructions are in the zip... 

Those of you interested in any of the QExpo mods coming out may like Galactix. It's over at my qexpo page:

You might also like Jeht.

I notice some of you guys have booths up for your maps. Downloading now! Metl... no release yet?
/me twitches slightly 

i couldnt get galactix to work when i tried it a day or two ago. I used CheapHack 1.5b i think, but when i started a new game, and during/after ship selection, etc it was all full dark, though i could still hear the game continuing and see me losing health...any ideas? 

Less drugs should fix that problem :) 

thats your answer to everything! 

System requirements...

Do people think (based on what they've heard or seen which I haven't) that a "good" current system, say P4 2.5, 512meg ram, Radeon 9700/9800 or top end GF4TI blah, will be good enough to run D3 when it arrives?? I mean run it reasonably well (but not uber-fast) with a lot of the graphical spandooglies on??
