Mary was an acrobat, but still she couldn’t seem to breathe.
Mary was becoming everything she didn’t want to be.
Mary would hallucinate and see the sky upon the wall.
Mary was the type of girl, she always liked to fly.

Yes, unlucky Microsoft, you lost $384m in home entertainment but made loads elsewhere through massive OS and software profits, and you're still able to chuck as much money into it as you want due to billions upon billions in your bank account. UL! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It'll be P2P for all their services, like, and then the non-P2P won't have access to much. Then maybe a transgression to full-on. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

BY = best ISP in the UK and offer the best servers in the UK for public play imo. Barrysworld have always been slow and sluggish when they hit anywhere near 16 players.

I wouldnt mind paying a few quid a month to play on servers which give decent pings and dont chug with 16 players [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

BY used to offer the best servers, they're far from it anymore. amok nearly got 'em decent, but decided to reverse his changes. As for being best ISP? I had problems for the first week I had ntl and they went down for a matter of minutes throughout the rest of the year.

In a couple of months on BY the service has been on and off like a yoyo. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

ur one of the few i've spoken to. Any problems i've had with by they have been resolved instantly.

NTL i've heard r very slow and s***e coz they route in the same manner as BT, takes like 15 hops to get to a server. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

BY servers used to be the dogs bollox 20 ping if u had BY connection and the registry was good also.

These days they are to tempermental, one week they are awsome the next they suck worse than demon.

The UK has a serious lack of quality public servers, thats why i often play on the swedish and danish servers, they have better registry.

id disagree, if u dont play games KDE running on linux is as worthy an OS as windows, it has every program that mimics every program MS can produce and more, offices are even taking over linux solutions and throwing away there old windows servers, as soon as open source projects that allow the proper mapping of opengl directx etc windows is probably going to loose ALOT of the market.. and its only a matter of time..

if cs ran on linux with 100fps i would use it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
