  1. Only played an hour so far but it's great as expected. I hope it gets much harder later on as I've found the puzzles to be a breeze, although it seems to be re-introducing the old mechanics as well as the new ones at this point. I should really do the co op but finding it very hard to drag myself away from TF2.
  2. You can definitely tell Flying Lotus has been an influence in this album. It's bloody great.
  3. Only 3 tracks in but so far it's great! Pity the MP3 tags in the download are fucked though.
  4. Typical newfag wanting to take part in a stupid raid but too afraid to ask someone on 4chan about it. Raids are dumb, 4chan was never about invasions. Cancer.
  5. The Serious Sam games are pretty fun and frantic, but they get old fast. Best in small doses.
  6. Actually, they go on sale to the general public on Friday 26th November. Rush News
  7. Robert Kotick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  8. In those circumstances, yes you are correct. However, if the police were keen on catching someone downloading/distributing CP, consider the following scenario: A user connects to an unencrypted network and downloads CP. Eventually, authorities become aware of this activity and identify the IP provided by the ISP to trace the connection. Once enough evidence of this activity has been gathered, the ISP customer is arrested and any computing devices capable of downloading CP is siezed. Computer forensics eventually determine that the customer is innocent and the charges dropped. However, they still have evidence that CP was downloaded using that particular connection. Now if they wanted to investigate further, they would begin to monitor the activity on the customer's router/ISP assigned IP address, either by maintaining a list of the MAC addresses for all devices the customer is using and identifying any connections established by devices which aren't on this list, or by turning off DHCP and assigning static local IPs for the customer's devices and identifying any external connections which were being assigned a new static IP not on the customer's list. Now if the user downloading CP was smart (which they aren't of course), they wouldn't connect to the unencrypted network frequently, however they aren't going to turn down a free internet connection. At this point, authorities can identify the user's IP on the local network, the MAC address and latency of the connection to determine the user's distance from the router in order to work out a physical location (the same building for instance) and issue a warrant to search the machine of the suspect.
  9. Another thing you may want to check on your router is your MTU configuration, which is basically the largest 'packet' of data you can send. The maximum value is usually 1500 but this should be set to auto. This will mainly affect upload speeds, but can have a noticable impact on loading web pages because if it is set to too low a value, you will need to send more 'packets' to request the web page (making it slower to load), and if it is too high a value, there's a higher overhead and therefore more prone to errors. If you set it to auto, your ISP should handle this for you.
  10. Must've been as up to date as RGU's learning modules then.
  11. I'm pretty sure they can log the IP of the machine downloading it, regardless of how it is connected to the internet (unless you proxy chain like mad).
  12. I just stumbled upon this article and it was a good read: ::. Kitz - bRAS + IP Profile .:: It gives some insight into how your connection is configured on BT Wholesale's side. As I am told I can receive only up to 2Mbps on my connection from any ISP website with an availability checker, I suspect my IP profile could be stuck. I am going to contact Demon today and see if they can look into it.
  13. Mines has always been shit. I'm on the Great Western exchange and live quite a bit away from it also. I'm supposed to be getting up to 3Mbps download with Demon's line tester they provided before they rolled out ADSL2+, however it seems the exchange only provides up to 2 Mbps connections and is currently not scheduled for a fibre optic upgrade anytime soon.
  14. Looks the exact same as the rest of the Halo games, i.e. pish.
  15. 3rd time lucky then Rathen? Pretty much most of this thread has been you getting excited about a new Weezer album, initial verdict and liking it, then a 3 month delay before reviving the thread and saying how shit the album is.
  16. YouTube - LIVE - Shiny Ponyta after 25968 encounters!!! (Leaf Green) oh lawd
  17. One of the best moments ever in Curb is when LD pretends to be an Orthodox Jew: YouTube - Curb Your Enthusiasm Ski Lift Restaurant
