the PS made that comment so awesome. 

you will never be able to hit it at exactly 45 degrees; see also: float precision

not that i checked, but aren't they shoving you right/left depending on your income angle?so that if you hit the edge in the way you described, you would almost stop?

Even if you are a bit off center, I guess that's some hull stuff.

Yeah, you generally stop. I've tried running into walls and trying to get myself exactly parallel. I stop dead generally if I get it right.

That in Quake, or just IRL? 

So I installed windows vista x64 yesterday, and set it all up, and it was working fine, in my ignorance to the new OS instead of turning off the pc I set it into hibernate mode, then I brought it back out of hibernate the pc froze and then blue screened.

After a reset the pc would not boot, it would start loading the OS selector screen (I was dual booting with xp) but then fail saying the boot sector was screwed (or something of that description).

So I popped in my xp cd and managed to repair the boot sector, but now the pc boots automatically to XP and I get no option to boot to vista at all. I am wondering how I get the dual boot OS selector back? As the vista directory is still fully intact!

I have tried searching the web a bit but im having trouble finding information regarding this issue specifically.

PS. This is a great story for all you vista haters ;) 

nevermind :) 

something like this?

after some more digging around I learned that vista uses an updated method of handling the boot menus. Boot.ini simply does not work with vista.

Vista uses a BCD file to handle booting and there is handy application I found called Easybcd (http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1) that can edit/restore vistas boot settings and write them to the BCD.

It was a simple matter of restoring the bcd and restarting the pc :)

I'm interested... 

 

it does mean they're working on a new radiant based on the 1.4 source... so that's kind of cool for people that didn't really like 1.5. 

""We appreciate what you guys have done over the years in building the popularity of [Quake 3]," said id CEO Todd Hollenshead. "We also like 'free.'" "

All due respect, Todd - but id likes 'free' now that the money has been made. Nothing wrong with that but let's not start painting ourselves as pure and altruistic suddenly. 

is nice. Fast. Localized. Downloaded a nice theme. I put a weather and clock widget on too. 

I hope they dont fuck them up! I played on ET - Quake Wars Demo and couldn't get it!

Classes and team work? If Carmack likes straight up death match, it's not hard to imagine him not getting something like ET. 

imagine that.

Except that nobody said they were lost. They said they were uncontacted which has a specific meaning in this situation.

There are hundreds of uncontacted tribes on the planet. 

Except that nobody said they were lost.

Except, that is exactly what was initialy claimed.

"We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist," said Jose Carlos dos Reis Meirelles, an expert on uncontacted tribes at Funai. "This is very important because there are some who doubt their existence."

You certainly don't go looking for the proof of the existence of 'found' things.
