on the second point, get a browser other than internet explorer, like opera8 or firefox.

on the first point, try to uninstall whatever keyboard driver you have loaded (go to start > control panel > add/remove hardware) 

tried the uninstall, doesnt work.

As for opera etc, I will try sometime once I have evrything running but any suggestios in the meantime. 

Nobody uses IE anymore. You just get exploited with that. And it sucks with the user interface too. Firefox (it's 5 megs, get it, it just works out-of-the box) or Opera. 

IE is a piece of shit. MS are finally getting off their arses and updating it this year though. I still think it's going to suck.

I use Opera (freeware with ads) because it packs a HUGE amaount of stuff into one very small package. Oh, and all the stuff you don't need (if you don't use the mail or irc clients) is hidden.

Opera isn't bloatware, since it's still smaller than the much less feature packed Firefox (which is still way better than IE.)

If you use outlook and need a change, I hear the Opera mail client isn't bad. 

The 1.3 patch for Doom3 along with the accompanying SDK is out at last:

Mirrors available at your file-waiting-in-line-for website of choice. Now, go make maps with portal skyboxen.

(Didn't think it was important enough to warrant news submission, but it doesn't look like you missed seeing it here.) 

"Supports fs_game_base; this lets you base a mod off base game + d3xp + your own content."

OH YEAH! \o/

/me strokes his Grabber and Double Barrel Shotgun

The game promises to be an ultra-violent experience, judging by the demonstration shown behind closed doors at the show

The graphical representation of violence, together with convincing sounds of blades cutting through flesh and bone, sent a chill down the spine.

The explicit nature of the scene was unsettling and bordering on the tasteless.

Tasteless, .................. hmmm sounds tasty.

I can see the protesters already, and hear the cries, 'Quake made them do it' :(

o_O

Let them shout... Each time a violent game with lot of blood/violence/guts/sex/evil/destruction/massacre is released, they clamed it is an evil inspirated team who created it... and they would like to see these guys burn in hell's flames... bleh !
So just don't care, we will play Q4 as many pleasure we play D3/HL2/etc... 

going as far as SOF2 dismemberment/detail? 

behind closed doors at the show
Don't know, of course it could just be a complete over reaction on the part of the journalist, and may well be quite tame to the seasoned gamer/psychopath 

.. it took the horror of Doom a step further, with a grisly sequence showing the mutilation of characters in the game.

This sentence sounds good ! BTW ...fuck the protesters... ;) 

I can see the protesters already, and hear the cries, 'Quake made them do it' :(

Yeah, Quake made those teenage boys kidnap one of their friends, strap him down to a desk, hack open his body with a circular saw, and attempt to graft on random bits of metal to his corpse!! The link is irrefutable!

P.S. Okay, that sort of behaviour was part of Q2 (Factory), but a very small part...

P.P.S. I wish to fuckery that people (the BBC in this case, not you) would stop saying this is "Quake" being reborn, it's not, that's fucking bullshit, it is Quake2 FFS it's not hard to see the difference, tards. 

Ok, I know of the w3c and their website, but I need an offline version of all the standards information (regarding each tag, attribute etc.)

Sounds a bit weird, I know.

Does anyone know where I could get such a thing (and not a book - since I'd have to pay for that!) 

a couple of books u can 'borrow' :)

pretty sure W3C has an entire page with their documents you can just save, but it's been awhile since I've been there. 

Von: ta, but torrent is blocked here. Any chance you could do me a secret upload location and send a link to andrew.palmer@rebellion.co.uk by Friday? ;) No problem if you can't.

Phait: I'll have another look. 

i'll do everything i can :> 

The explicit nature of the scene was unsettling and bordering on the tasteless.

Thanks for the judgement call, mate.

"Hey guys I went to check out this first person shooter and you'll never believe this...but it was excessively violent. I am shocked and appalled." 

but with new technology the violance becomes all the more graphical and realistic. I don't like the trend. 

My view is that it's value is proportional to how well it fits into both the style and gameplay of the game. D3's violence was appropriate because of the demonic horror nature. Painkiller's violence was appropriate because of the OTT nature of the gameplay. Other games perhaps less so...

Quake4 can justify some violence in terms of processing humans and of course the natural "shooting things" violence of an FPS. But it shouldn't be based around that. Of course a report such as the one quoted means shit really. 

To whichever bozo rotated SM82 90 degrees with texture lock turned on:

Thank you very much. 

Will you please GET YOUR ARSE onto IRC sometime thank you. The channel needs your insights and knowledge.

Same applies to RPG too! 

Sauerbraten and fitzquake 0.80 are both stellar releases. I'm having a great time, and I wanted to thank you two for that. Excellent work. 

I wrote something about that on my website. Basically it was no longer fun for me, and it wastes way too much time. scampie kickbanned me last time I popped in to see how everyone was doing, and quite frankly I haven't had the desire to see if I've been unbanned.
