Yea, been there done that. Try driving a fire engine across the median of a interstate (not in the turn arounds. Had a bad car fire on the interstate, so much smoke, the traffic was stopped. The nearest turn around was 2 miles south of the scene, my LT wanted me there now, I was gonna go to the turn around, he instisted I cross the median because he didn't think I'd be able to get back to the scene very quick with all the backed up traffic, the median was shallow, and it hadn't rained for awhile so he thought it would be fine, I didn't, but he's the boss, got about half way across, and was "melon" deep in dirt... lol Still put the fire out from where I was at, but had to keep the interstate closed why we did it, and then it took 3 Heavy wreckers to get me out, even after I dumped my water tank.. Of course, it was my LT's fault, but made me look bad, and had us both in hot water with the chief, who was out of town at the time... TFD

And actually, if you read the whole thing it says "programs that may behave differently". After reading just a little of it, it appears that its mostly related to programs needing internet access for multiplayer and whatnot, and that its fixable, and works in a way similar to zone alarm if your familiar with that. TFD

Massive security overhall is the basic jist of it though... :o TFD

Well, I voted BFV because thats primarily what I play. Found TAC playing BFV. I used to play DC, until BFV came out, and the ever popular .8 has yet to surface. Really not much of a first person shooter guy myself, but started playing Medal of Honor a couple of years ago, and then BF1942 when it came out. Probably the only ones I will play either, are those two series. Waiting for BF2 now... :o TFD

All they mean by that is, if you wait for it to be available through windows update, and your computer is already up to date, that the download won't be as big..TFD

We had 4-5 people in it most of the night, until about 10-10:30 CDT? Not a very big turnout, but we were there..TFD

Lets see if we can't fill the bFV server up tonight. I'll be on and off most of the night, and on pretty solid later in the evening. Be there, or be square!! :twisted: :mrgreen: TFD

Nascar does not take any less skill, and one would be silly to think so. It takes much more than turning left, and putting your foot down to get around the tracks, and to state otherwise shows ones lack of knowledge in Nascar. Its really pointless to argue here, F1 and Nascar, and any racing for that matter, has there own set of required skills, and no one is any more special than the other. So, with that, I'm done arguing dumb points, of which is better.... ("my racing is better than yours".... "no, mine is better than yours".... yada yada yada....) :roll: TFD

Untrue statement. Even on the "Ovals" the turns are rarely the same all around, and require a different approach for each turn. Also makes for challenge in the setup keeping it as neutral as possible, for different types of turns. All you said about Nascar, and its setups and what not is true, it makes it more of a "Team" sport, because if one guy doesn't do his job, then the whole team suffers the consequences. Maybe thats part of what appeals to me, the team work that goes into an entire weekend of racing. Again, I don't think F1 or Cart, or any racing for that matter sucks, hell, if its racing, I like it! I just prefer Nascar.... TFD

You guys really have no clue, do ya? Lot more involved than that. Major engineering and technology involved in it, along with BIG $$. But hey, again, everyones entitled to their opinion. I'm not a huge fan of open wheels, but, you won't here me saying they suck :roll: . TFD

Well, me, I'm a Nascar fanatic! Love the stuff, and go to at least 1 race, if not more every year. Try to hit a different track each time. Hell, thats what I spend most of my online time doing, racing in a Nascar Racing Season 2003 league. Occasionally for money/prizes. It's not for everyone I guess, but me, I'd do it for a living if I could. You won't get my arse off the couch on Sunday while the Nextel cup is running! :mrgreen: Indy is actually, only a couple of hours away from me, and I use to go to the brickyard every year, but, the track is not that viewer friendly watching it there (can't see the whole track anywhere you sit). Go to Michigan alot, been to Atlanta, Talladega, and the Daytona 500 as well, along with Chicagoland. Last fall, the company I work for, partnered with Robert Yates racing to sponsor Jason Jarrett (Dale Jarretts son) in his first Cup race at talladega. I spent the whole weekend in the pits, and the garage. Was an awsome time! Anyway, I'll stop now, I could go on forever... :mrgreen: TFD

Very cool ike, I'll keep that in mind. I'm not 100% descided yet on the Arson dog or not yet. I realize I gotta make that descision soon though. If I do, Maia and I will have to go somewhere together for school.. TFD

Here's another one (a little better pic) of her. Caught her scratching at her harness, which she's still not sure she likes. Got the harness rather than a collar, so she doesn't get choked, and helps in training. At 8 weeks old, she weighed 15 lbs.. TFD http://69.41.232.20/files/maia2.jpg

Definately not sad, more like tired.. Her and my kids have been having a blast together. Kids wear her out, and she goes back into her crate/kennel (voluntarily) and sleeps for 2 hours. LOL I'll get another pic of her later to show her, that one was taken, only a few hours after I got her home.TFD

Gator, its coming from the racing website I'm a member of, but I'll keep that in mind. 135#, man, is it a Shiloh Shepherd? Mines a female, and may get to 100#, possibly a little bigger. TFD

Maia 8 week old AKC German Shepherd. Wanted one forever, finally found the right one. She's a female, and right now, her main intention is to be a family dog, but I do have a thought in the back of my head of getting her trained in Arson Investigation... TFD http://69.41.232.20/files/maia1.jpg

Don't mean to imply that fires are good here, guys, or that I wish it upon anyone, but when they do happen, man the adrenaline really pumps up! :mrgreen: TFD
