Be sure to tell them to use the 'scope to do the endoscopy FIRST. The "prep" for the colonoscopy is hands-down the worst part of the ordeal (as I'm sure you're finding out by now). Don't sweat the actual procedures.

Probably wondering whether or not Battlefield-5 will release by Christmas....

Wow, seeing that title brought back some old memories... I doubt you'll find that sold "new" in stores now anymore, but E-Bay has a load of them. Example: 7th Legion Game on E-Bay ($20)

It looks like a security head, but looks fairly stripped out. (Almost looked like a pop rivet at first glance). If it is definitely a screw, a simple screw extractor bit will work. They are fairly cheap, and an essential bit to have around, as they will "cut" into an extract practically anything with a stripped out head - phillips, Torx, SS heads, you name it. However, with a security head like that, you'll need to first drill out the post. If you have enough head flat to get a grip, then just get a set of security bits. They don't cost that much for a decent set, and you'd be surprised how often you'll find a use for them.

"Scambaiting" can be hilarious good fun. We've had a few good ones going in the past. :thumbsup:

Wow, BFV. To this day, whenever CCR's "Unfortunate Son" comes on the radio I feel the barely controllable urge to mow down VC from the open side door of a Huey slick. Good times.

He marched alongside of Dr Martin Luther King in a day and age in which doing so took incredible strength of character. He campaigned for civil rights and an end to racism. You lost me on the "bigot" label.

You'll never get to hear it Chippy. (A) Your K-car wanna-be doesn't go fast enough to outrun the standard siren, and ( without a stereo in your car any more, there's no noise to overcome.

They work, albeit a little TOO well. If you kick it on as you're closing in on someone from behind who didn't hear/see you before, they tend to slam on their brakes as they react to the rumble. Which, if you're ready for it however, can lead to a whole new kind of fun...

I agree. Release dates, as well as sales & fiscal quarters and margin quotas are a huge influence on getting the game out at or by a certain date. Consider also that the PC is an incredibly varied format. Console games can be released with far fewer bugs, since there is a consistent end-user platform. So many people are doing home builds, that the possible combination of components in PCs make it impossible to ensure that a product works flawlessly with every possible configuration.

Mine was exactly the same Merc - no launch, no errors, nada. I tried the deletion of the radial file and the other fixes, but nothing worked. I simply uninstalled, reinstalled, and patched with a valid 1.4 and I'm good as gold. (Just remember to save the controls.con file to make life easier when you reinstall).

They need to make a "Cake Batter Blaster". Mmmnyumnyum. Sit around with a few cans of that stuff at night...

I can not believe this thread hasn't yet degraded into a Monty Python skit...

The file that contains your rank and unlocks within that folder is, according to Activision, "unhackable". I'm sure it will be a matter of time until someone figures out a way to do it. However by "backing up" your rank and experience you're simply ensuring it is saved in the event of data loss on your drive, or resetting of stats caused by a server timeout issue (such as happened in the initial week after release) or the mod/unmod switch problem that was (hopefully) corrected by the first patch.

Wyatt, Simply go into your CoD4 install folder and find the profile folder. Copy and save the entire folder. After you restore, place the folder back in the same location. You'll retain your rank and experience, as well as all your control settings and even saved game progress in SP.
