YellowJacket - Fair enough. I don't think it was anyone's intent to be offensive, China just happens to be the location where these products are coming from. The problem isn't w/ legitimate manufacturers, it's the counterfeiters & the lack of action on the part of their government. The government doesn't necessarily represent the people, as this guy showed us a few years back in Tiananmen Square - http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=91866&rendTypeId=4 Also in fairness, there are some Chinese products that are of decent quality. They make a good SKS or AK rifle (seriously). GM recently set up a Buick plant in mainland China. Granted I'm a Ford guy, but if GM builds cars in China, they would have to meet quality standards. http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/auto...ws/4216029.html

McD's, Dollar menu double cheese burgers. Yes, I (actually my kid, she learns quick) grabbed extra napkins to save money.

When I admitted to (years later) my parents were kinda bummed, but were also a little impressed at how I beat the system.

Consider it done!

The PS2 release (& VCS) was probably to expand the market to GTA fans who didn't have a PSP. In my case it's because I have bad hands. I can handle a PS2 controller okay, but for me the PSP is little better than a cell phone. As for game play, concept & story, it was exactly what i expected from R* & well worth the $20 I payed for it.

!?!?!?!? How the FRELL do you make a video game based on a high school musical? People need to quit eating the Chinese toothpaste, it's causing brain damage on epidemic proportions.

That would go back to being only concerned about the money. Huck's comment was aimed towards a general group (who in all fairness, ARE acting retarded). As for Oskar/PS3player, It's not like PS3player advertised being a Muslim before that broke out. Although I think we can get our points across w/out name calling (applies to all sides) If there's anyone here from mainland China, I'd be curious to hear what they had to say on the subject. The only real options we have are to stop buying Chinese products & to start pressuring elected officials to end China's "Most Favored Trading" status. The US should have done that when one of our planes went down in China & had to be dismantled & shipped back.

I tried to stay out of the principle's office, but some of my "friends" had terminal stupidity disorder. So & so broke a window, they skipped class, they robbed a store (yeah, really) & these overeducated idiots running the schools thought i could tell them about it. There was once, in the second grade this kid just would not leave me alone. Every day with name calling, pushing, hitting... it was always something. I just wanted to be left alone. Then one day I had enough & sorta snapped. The next thing I knew, I had him by the collar & belt driving him face first into a brick wall on the playground. After a dozen or so times, a couple of teachers pulled me off him. Principle, Vice Principle, several psychologist & both my parents for that meeting. Quality time. This was in the early '70s & the Manson trial was going on, so the psychologists were all excited thinking they could have a lifetime study of a violent psychopath like Manson. They ran every conceivable Psych test on me. Twice. Their final conclusion was that i was calm, peaceful & generally nice. They decided that the kid just pushed me till I snapped. I never saw him again after that. There were no consequences (pleasant surprise).

Ahh, but there is a life lesson! Crack heads will buy anything. At least "Bratz" could have some attempt (albeit lame) at a plot. We live in a society of mindless lemmings, someone please direct them to a cliff.

The video card? Not really, look on e-bay, the 5500 is an older model.

As long as you have 16 meg of video, you should be okay for GTA3 & VC. Get N-vidia 5500 (or equal) & you can run SA.

Intentionally trying to poison us? No, that's getting rid of their paying customers. They just want to make a buck & don't care who they hurt in the process.

Gesundheit!

Nice score. Don't rule out summer school. If it works like it does here, it can be the first way you beat the system. Summer school should still count for full credit. Pick out the worst classes that are gonna suck & take them for a few weeks in the summer. That opens your regular school year for the stuff you want to take. I did that & loaded my high school schedule w/ shop class for 3 years running. It makes your parents think you're so responsible & mature.

I'll probably post it ant the AR15 this weekend. Getting ready to shut down in a few.

Yeah, I'm kinda known for not bothering with the directions. That's probably my homebuilt microwave picks up BBC.

I have a stainless Mini 14 that it's based on. Fires the same 5.56 military issue round as the AR15 (yes, have one)/M16. It's almost identical to the .223 rifle cartridge except for the heat treating. you can safely use the 5.56 in anything labeled for .223 (usually bolt action), however, the neck of the 5.56 has been heat treated to make it softer. Case separations were a problem for the early M16s until someone figures that one out. The one you're thinking of is the AC556. http://www.modelguns.co.uk/images/ac556c.jpg The AC556F is real popular w/ DEA, FBI or other law enforcement that spends a lot of time getting in & out of helis. It's on my wanted list.

Naw, that just fell out of my head a long time ago. I'll probably do the quiz later.

Famous last words? See you in Val Halla mother F......., well, you get the idea.

The Super GT is a crapwagon as far as I'm concerned. There's no nice way to put it. If you're playing PS2 or X-box, your only real option is just practice, practice, practice. If you're on PC & comfortable doing HANDLING edits, copy the line from the BULLET into the SUPERGT line. Just backup the file before you edit it.

Got mine for PS off e=bay, all three less then $10. If you don't care about having the actual discs, then Sky has the best answer. Plus they're free & legal.

Need details, like what mission you're stuck on. Tried your link, went to "GTA ASSHOLE" (funny but not much help) Back on later.

OUTLAW DOUBLE POST!! Nate10, you're back! Good to see you around again.

This is taken directly from MAIN.SCR, GTASA V1. The 134 does not include external scripts, but most of those are buying clothes, the vending machines, etc.

Welcome to the SPAM-A-THON! I'll stop w/ the count as it seems to scare & confuse some members.
