  1. Ok I have a fraggle-scipt wrote up and wanna put it in my pwad. I know I have it written right, well I am pretty sure. So I add it like this:

    "add_fs nvashck.wad nvashck.fs"

    When I start up legacy, it's like the script didn't load or something. Am I doing this right? How do I put a FS in a pwad? Is there another way to do it?


  2. I came up with this DM level tonight and whipped it up. It has a cool concept I think. Fixing to try it out on DOOM Connector and see what people think. It's for DOOM 2, there is a ReadMe file included

    Here are some screenshots:

    download it here:

    Check it out and tell me what you think. Let me know if you find any bugs. I will touch it up some and add some detail and release it in a few days...

    Did anyone notice that almost nobody (who matters) is actually forced to use the next-generation operating system or fancy hardware? Get real. Even if passed, these "laws" are unenforcable.

    Sidenote: I think Striker is badly in need of a new title or some other sillification.



    A new titlle or "sillification" just because I am speaking out and trying to make you guys aware about this? Whatever man

    There is a downside too. There will be remote censorship: the mechanisms designed to delete pirated music under remote control may be used to delete documents that a court (or a software company) has decided are offensive - this could be anything from pornography to writings that criticise political leaders. Software companies can also make it harder for you to switch to their competitors' products; for example, Word could encrypt all your documents using keys that only Microsoft products have access to; this would mean that you could only read them using Microsoft products, not with any competing word processor.
    =====================================================================
    With existing MP3s, you may be all right for some time. Microsoft says that Palladium won't make anything suddenly stop working. But a recent software update for Windows Media Player has caused controversy by insisting that users agree to future anti-piracy measures, which may include measures that delete pirated content found on your computer. Also, some programs that give people more control over their PCs, such as VMware and Total Recorder, are unlikely to work under TCPA. So you may have to use a different player - and if your player will play pirate MP3s, then it seems unlikely to be authorised to play the new, protected, titles.
    =====================================================================
    When you boot up your PC, Fritz takes charge. He checks that the boot ROM is as expected, executes it, measures the state of the machine; then checks the first part of the operating system, loads and executes it, checks the state of the machine; and so on. The trust boundary, of hardware and software considered to be known and verified, is steadily expanded. A table is maintained of the hardware (audio card, video card etc) and the software (O/S, drivers, etc); Fritz checks that the hardware components are on the TCPA approved list, that the software components have been signed, and that none of them has a serial number that has been revoked. If there are significant changes to the PC's configuration, the machine must go online to be re-certified. The result is a PC booted into a known state with an approved combination of hardware and software (whose licences have not expired). Control is then handed over to enforcement software in the operating system - this will be Palladium if your operating system is Windows.
    =====================================================================
    Sure - unless your system administrator configures your machine in such a way that TCPA is mandatory, you can always turn it off. You can then run your PC with administrator privileges, and use insecure applications.

    There is one respect, though, in which you can't turn Fritz off. You can't make him ignore pirated software. Even if he's been informed that the PC is booting in untrusted mode, he still checks that the operating system isn't on the serial number revocation list. This has implications for national sovereignty. If Saddam is stupid enough to upgrade his PCs to use TCPA, then the American government will be able to hot-list his Windows licences, and thus shut down his PCs, next time there's a war. Booting in untrusted mode won't help. He'd have to dig out old copies of Windows 2000, change to GNU/linux, or find a way to isolate the Fritz chips from his motherboards without breaking them.

  5. Have you guys heard of TCPA? Trusted Computing Platfrom Alliance
    Basically, they wanna control everything on your pc. 3rd party software and files will not be allowed. Linux and other open-source OS's will die. No more mp3's. There is not even files. It's all object orriented. There is even a bill congress is trying to pass. Saying that it is illegal to use a PC that is not TCPA based. It is unbeliavable. The next MicroSoft OS, LongHorn, will fully take advantage of TCPA. I hope this shit never happens. It is a violation of our constitutional rights. It will take away your rights, and freedom of speach. The internet will basically die as we know it because running 3rd party software will not be allowed. It is alot more worse than I can explain here. Basically:
    -You will not be able to share files of any kind(NO PWADS :(
    -It will be against the law to use any pc other than a TCPA compliant machine if the bill is past.
    -Open Source OS's like Linux will die. As it will take alot of money to be TCPA certified

    This all fucken sucks and will change the way we know and use computers. I hope it doesn not happen. Here are the links:

    Maybe I am overreacting about all this, but maybe I am not. It is disturbing to think about though :-/

    I don't have to, you're covering that and the bad trolling nicely. I don't think I have to make much more of a case anyway.


    Well I rest my case. If you read those 2 reviews you will see they give Halo the highest praise. I am not gonna say nothing else about it.....


  7. gatewatcher said:

    You already have. Many times infact.



    And so have you with Halo...

    I will make you a deal man, you get a xbox so I can own you online in HALO with XBConnect. The I will get CS and you can own me. Hows does that sound?

    Then we will both be satisfied


  8. gatewatcher said:

    Yes, they do. But that's just him as an individual, that's not what I'm getting at.

    It goes on and on. I guess I am the only one who bought Halo. Go read the reviews buddy.

    xbox.ign.com
    gamespot.com

    2 respective gamesites. That give halo the highest praise. Now read them and tell me some more crap...
