Doom 3 Expansion Announced 
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041025/lam081_1.html

Important bits:

"including the return of the double-barreled shotgun"

"support for up to eight players in all new maps" 
Welcome To Yesterday's News. 
Important bits:

More D00m3 yay. 
why the hell does my ip change all the time??!
:o

also, doom3 expansion! :D 
Dhcp 
Necros, probly cause your isp doesn't own enough ips for all the people on their network, they don't expect everyone to be online at once anyway, so they have it set to reset your ip more often so ppl. who aren't online don't waste an ip.

It's one of those annoying policies/business models that hasn't been changed since 56k was hi-tech.

2c 
So... 
is that a good thing then? O_o 
Necros 
Not really, no. But if you're not running servers it probably won't hurt you too much. 
First Post! 
First post, bitches! 
DHCP Aint Bad. 
NAT is. Users of certain ISPs here have severe difficulties connection to (for example) IRC servers, because they all seem to originate from ONE external IP address. Evil. 
CZG... 
If you can find the time to utter the words:

!clvl scampie -1000

and

!kb *!*@ravensoft.com

or similar, that would bring peace and harmony to the world.

P.S. Go map. 
Question 
Does anyone have a good link to some 2D art stuff, like all those urber leet photoshop backgrounds that kids have floating around? I need some inspiration for my art class .

I've also been going through the inspiration thread so that's help but I'd like to see some specific 2D art stuff. Thanks guys. 
ProdigyXL, 
You mean purty effects for web page interface design? Here is a decent link http://www.eyeball-design.com/fxzone/frames02.htm 
Lun 
noted. apologies. 
Prod: 
screw the �berfilterbackgrounds and go for artists like http://www.goodbrush.com (craig mullins), http://www.cafesale.net/bengal/index.php3 (bengal) and http://www.sparth.com/ (sparth=nunuk)or some other cool digitalartists. 
The Goodbrush 
Artist brush work is annoying in its mannerism. Too much thick clumping as an 'arty' effect. It could be cleaner. Much cleaner.

Good sense of form, but another common mannerism is to allow light, color and shadow to obscure form in unrealistic ways and that I see it here in spades. 
Sparth, 
Now that is pretty decent work. Clean lines. Good lighting and atmosphere. One niggle, but almost all modern artist do it. Some pics (ie. http://www.sparth.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=17&pos=11) have big splatches of shadow in the forground. I would rather see the shadow softened or placed at a more stark angle so the ships form is not obscured.

But I like. 
NAT Chat Fix 
Yes NAT does appear to be more evil,
as an ex-server admin I hated dhcp as well.

Nat fix:
get tor
http://www.freehaven.net/tor/
point your irc, aim etc. through there using
socks5 (or socks 4 with privoxy) works for me
on my college net.
or find a free proxy server somewhere and use that instead.
www.samair.ru/proxy has a list

:) 
Sparth 
Nunuk blows my mind so hard my skull flies open and sprays party favors. 
Oh Hey 
So I actually read the Doom3 SDK's EULA, which has certain provisions for mods and stuff (the New Creations). This stood out.

The New Creations shall not be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the United States has embargoed goods or to anyone or into any country who/that are prohibited, by applicable law, from receiving such property.

I'm probably going to have to add a click through in the installer when I'm done with Byz to verify that the player is not Cuban or a towelhead. 
Lunaran, 
lol

U Rock! 
...

if (client->IsADirtyTowelHead())
{
NevarForget(911, WAR_IRAQ);
ReportToFBI(client);

if (client->IsADirtyTowelHead() == OSAMA)
{
cout << "LOL PWNED\n";
VoteBush(TRUE);
}

return;
}

ResumeInstallation();

... 
Kinn 
... you suck...

..... even if I think this code is quite funny !! 
PATH=usr/bin/laden; 
Coder humor is not funny. 
Friction.. 
.. this one is funny as well... but what is the use of the "laden" tool ?? Airplane crashes or dish-washer simulator ???
8D 
TFT Monitors... 
...anyone have any recommendations for a TFT monitor (not for gaming, I know the 16-20ms delay thing and all that), 17" preferably, middle-of-the-road quality...

...oh and easily available in the UK too.

Advice would be appreciated, kthxetc. 
I Thought The Joke Was 
rm -rf cgi/bin/laden

Thinkgeek doesn't sell the shirt anymore, so I can't verify actual unix syntactical compliance on that.


But it's funny, trust me!
