Yeah we may potentially have just one more game against the Habs (canadiens) tomorrow. I'm hoping we can finish the best of 7-series then!

It would be impossible to show you the search results from a private tracker without you having access to the tracker itself. Good idea in theory though.

Check scripts development forum:

Or if you want the thread specifically to get started:

Woops, bad example from an admin indeed. I felt like the topic was swaying.

Win7 is the way to go. It's way better than Vista!

Unfortunately not, I just know of their existence but I've never had to use them.

We had an amazing win last night with Ryder's goal in OT!
I bet the canadiens weren't expecting that last night after they had 2 goals in 55 seconds in the 2nd!

What are you using to generate the billing invoices? You will need Acrobat or FrameMaker in order to make the fields modifiable fields. There may be free solutions or alternatives but I don't know them off the top of my head.

.PDF stands for portable document format, hence it is published. Most .PDFs are designed to be printed and filled out, in order to avoid people from tinkering with them like a word document file. Unless there are specific form fields originally created by the person who made the .PDF in the first place.

Did you create the .PDF or are you using somebody else's? If you created the .PDF you can use Adobe Framemaker or Acrobat professional to edit the document. If it is somebody else's, you can try editing it with these programs as well (they are not free, like the Acrobat reader only), you may not be able to edit them though, if they are locked or officially published.

It's pretty hard to find the bad MP3s these days. I haven't ran into any in a while.

This thread was quite old, over a year ago to be exact. I'm assuming OP is gone now so I'm locking it.

Yeah...first person shooters are so much better on PC.

I hated TF2 at first (especially the graphics) but it's kinda of entertaining. I didn't start playing it until a few weeks ago.

L4D1 was 5 bucks a while back for a limited time. I'd keep your eyes open for those crazy limited time steam deals when games drop to rock bottom prices. I just bought borderlands for 5 bucks last week with one of those deals. Normally, it's like 30 bucks or something.

L4D1's community has sort of died after L4D2 came out, that's why so many people boycotted the sequel. You may not be able to get much playing time in on the first one even if you bought it today. Most of the players left know each other and play very competitively. Only the core hardcore fans remain (which I was at some point part of that group). Not many noobs play it I would imagine.

I went back to L4D1 for a little while because I got sick of L4D2. I think they added too much crap in L4D2 and the first one is overall a much better game.

I don't play either one anymore, but I would still be interested in playing once in a blue moon. I have almost 500 hours in L4D1 and a little less than 200 in the second one I think :o It was time for a new game, I mostly play StarCraft 2 now and a little Bad Company 2 and Team Fortress 2 here and there.

Also, I was under the impression that Windows 7 stole the best gaming OS from WinXP.. or at least came close enough that WinXP is not needed anymore.  Anyone know more about that?

Yes certainly for a couple of reasons that are off the top of my head:
1) Microsoft stopped supporting directx for WinXP a while ago. I think the last version that it supports is DX9c. Win7 supports the latest pixel shader and directx versions (11+) Of course your video card also has to be compatible. But even moderately old video cards can support DX 10, which was initially released with Vista.
2) Win7 was highly optimized for parallel computing and CPU management. For example when you're running a full-screen game, win7 automatically detects this and gives it full CPU power. Winxp was not so good with CPU management (AV scans, background processes etc. take a little bit of juice sometimes). Of course optimization of your system is very important, but Win7 provides a bit more leeway for the joe schmoe who doesn't care to turn off his AV scan while playing crysis. Though the game does need to be optimized for parallel computing, win7 was designed with multi-core in mind, and can help a little bit with performance on dual-core and so forth machines.

In summary, I would say for 32-bit, single core processors, WinXP is still the best OS to use. Windows 7 is definitely the best option for 64-bit and dualcore+ machines. Win XP 64bit SUCKS sooo bad (I used it for a little while before switching back to 7). Vista is just crap all together, win7 is better than Vista in almost every way imaginable.

I like Parted Magic myself. The BEST partition tool I have ever used!
