Gibbie! 
no, YOU! 
This 
is very true :

i've found CRTs tend to have a lot more contrast but are also generally darker. LCDs tend to have less contrast at the darker end and are generally brighter.

Also, dont forget idgamma. It seems some of us play with it, some dont.

Server Problems Fixed 
Hi guys, just to let you know, the problem that brought the server to a halt every so often is now fixed. I am to blame for this; I used braindead SQL queries on the cube forum. 
 
Ah, just posted about that in site help :) 
Painkiller 
Do/Did people make Painkiller SP maps (with proper gameplay)? Is there a mapping community? 
AFAIK No 
Because they never released dev tools.

Fucking shame. 
They Did Release Dev Tools 
but making PK maps is all done in 3d apps. there have been a handful of full custom maps but the lack of an accessible way of building them is most likely the reason why there aren't more. 
 
id didn't release dev tools for doom I or II or Quake or Quake 2 and we somehow managed... 
ROFL @ AEnoch 
very funny 
Hmm 
Sleep, the red text 'too many queries' one?

Nice one :) 
Yeah 
that one. If the server was reachable. 
I'm Gonna Update/upgrade 
my old/crappy version of opera(9.25), so maybe someone can suggest which version of opera should i use. and i don't like an interface of its recent versions 
 
Tango Clearlooks is a nice theme. Always use the latest stable of your browser or you expose yourself to security issues. 
 
I have used opera for many years and some months ago I have switched to firefox and I don't think I will go back any more.
I know this isn't the answer you seek. :) 
Opera?! 
That's STILL around? 
Opera Kicks Ass. 
Especially on Linux where Firefox sucks badly. Plus I don't need a gazillion of addons to get basic functionality. 
Yeah 
Firefox turned south the minute the Mozilla Foundation lay their claws on it. It's become the new Netscape if you ask me. The rendering engine may be fine, but it's become slow, fat and ugly over the years. To me, Webkit is the superior engine anyway, and Safari is by far the nicest browser on the mac platform. Don't know about the windows version though. And isn't there a Webkit-based browser for Linux, too? Didn't Webkit originate from the Konqueror project? 
 
I use Safari on Mac as well. It's a great browser for my needs.

Word of The Day: travail 
Browser Wars 
I've used Opera 10 Alpha a lot lately, and it is quite good. It feels the fastest of the "big 3" mac browsers, but it was crashing on me about once a day, under heavy usage. If the final version is more stable, I'd switch back.

Safari is decently fast, but it just lacks a lot of functionality and expandability. It doesn't even save my sessions if the browser crashes! (the other two do)

Firefox can be painfully slow on this 5 year old Powerbook, but it has been rock solid stable for me. And I've become quite attached to having so many awesome plugins (skipscreen, adblock, downthemall, etc).

I'd like the webkit rendering engine + firefox style plugins, now that would be something (maybe google chrome will do this?)

Looks like Opera is skinnable, spy:

Adblock for Safari:

Apart from that, I agree that it sucks that Safari doesn't have a standardized plugin interface. 
Browsers That Crash? 
What's the world coming to? 
Yes 
I'm a windows dick head.
