Good Idea, Gb! 
 
Pentagon: Cyber Attacks Can Count As Act Of War 
 
Cyber wars should stay cyber. Otherwise it becomes a very slippery slope. A criminal act, or an act of espionage, isn't the same as an act of war.

Sabotage might be closer, but cybersabotage is super hard to pin on someone (stuxnet). 
 
it maybe useful to attack anyone us want 
The State Will Declare War On Whoever It Wants 
Hey don't need a reason. Examples: afghan war, iraq war, war on drugs, patriot act, &c. 
War On Peace 
 
 
I think that's a bit sensational journalism because of 'THE INTERNET' factor of the story.

I'd say it's pretty obvious that an attack that targets and shuts down infastructure, no matter how it's delivered, would be an act of war in most country's books, which is what I think is what the Pentagon was actually talking about. 
 
Hey can a veteran do a playthrough of the old mod Blood mage? It seems pretty good but I am stuck on the second level. 
 
Also, does anyone have the Blood mage patch? 
Hmm 
Yeh. It's all about equivalence (their word, not mine), responding to damage caused with similar levels of damage even if by non-digital means.

Still, there's the dodgy blurring between civilian/government action but then that's not that different to espionage as it's always been carried out. Just now the spies are routinely carrying EMPs (effectively). But yeh, not that I agree with western military policy in the slightest, but this is no difference to the co-operation between MI6 and the SAS/military that's always occured in this country, just with computers.

Altho tbh, I just read the entire article as the US army wanting to bomb anon/4chan. Can't blame 'em there ;p 
RMQ - The Future? 
OK, I'm on the team for RMQ, and I dont think it's going to be 'the future' so-to-speak. People will always like good 'ole Quake for what it is, and RMQ isn't gonna change that, just the same as Quoth didnt change that. And - yeah - it's a travesty that if you buy Quake on Steam you dont get the soundtrack!!!! How dare they!!! 
 
...not again :/ 
Im Not Flame-baiting 
I mean RMQ is gonna be a great thing! Loads of added features to the original Quake, alterations and improvements, some hefty maps etc. But after Nahahra was born, Quoth, and other stuff like that - people still play the original, people still map for the original, you know - vanilla Quake has a great style in its simplicity. I dunno - I'm often grumpy or a pain in the ass in the mornings, I just didnt want people fighting again. 
HL 
been playing custom levels in my steam version of HL and soundtrack actually *is* included. For the record. Also, still have my Quake CD, so that's also covered. 
Drew

Nitin 
Fitz works fine for me in Windows 7, what problems are you having? 
Frib 
Half-Life 
Half Life... 
...works fine for me in Windows 7, what problems are you having? 
Oh Right 
Thanks negke. I've only ever used the Steam version of HL. 
Mike 
I cant get HL to support Widescreen in windows 7 64bit. Apparently the steam version does. 
Nitin 
You need to manually hack the exe;

Search on google for it. 
What 
will look for it. 
Hmmms 
DaZ 
See you in the other games thread.
