Irony

They removed the Home Edition/Professional Edition distinction on the boot screen in one of the service packs best way to find out is by right clicking my computer and clicking properties (As pichorra said)

....?

Fixed the broken links in the OP

Sorry, I thought the photographed screen was the error. 640x400 is not a standard resolution so some monitors and/or graphics chipsets might have issues displaying it. I've just done a google. and yeah, S3 Trios have issues with that resolution. Why not just play it at 1024x768 which is the recommended resolution for the 1.06 patch? As Cheese mentioned, 1.06 is not designed for older hardware and operating systems.

Also, that's the monitor having a problem.

windows 2000 lacks a proper Direct X and a few other bits and pieces. well, if you're happy with the comp, don't upgrade... I know I found my Core 2 Duo computer a bit slow, so I've upgraded to an i7, it's all about preference, I guess

No surprises, Windows 2000 is pretty similar to Windows XP for a lot of things Still not a supported config though

You're running a little close to the system requirements there, no wonder it's choppy. In response to the thread, I run Windows 7 x64, An overclocked Intel i7 920, 6GB of DDR3 and a Radeon 5770. TS plays fine for me. Try disabling AV software whilst you plat or something. I reckon it's a software issue because in my experience TS has never thrown a hissy-fit about hardware.

Nice. I may look into it one day. It looks like it'd be a fun project.

What kind of stuff can be achieved by it? Or are there hooks into everything you'd want to be able to edit? For example, allow a complete change of the superweapon logic? (First hardcoded thing I could think of)

Ah so it's a bit like nyer's 1.06 patch? lot's of bug fixes and some new features?

I can't figure out what that Ares thing does?

really? The highest I've seen it peak is about 70MB of memory. That's not much more than NOD32 (My previous choice in AV considering it's never failed a detection test)

People should just use Microsoft's Security Essentials. It's free and better than most Pay AV software with basically no bloat.

The hell? how did you manage that? What Antivirus were you running?

This is nice, but I have to be blunt - What does this site do that youtube doesn't?

Unfortunately the internals of the actual packets has no formal documentation apart from the source code. But cncnet is opensource under MPL, so feel free to have a look http://code.google.com/p/cncnet Please be careful if you try and use an alternate client on the main server, if it causes problems we may have to refuse connection to it. What is it that makes you want to make an alternate client anyway?

Come on, that's so Richard Dawkins! History knows things equally (if not even more) horrible done in the name of progress and science. I guess you can name a couple examples yourself. Of course religion is not the sole reason that bad stuff has happened in the past, but a lot of stuff would not have been so readily supported by the respective populous if it wasn't portrayed as something relating to their religious beliefs. Yeah, it would never be a possible scenario. And I'd agree to some aspect that it'd be undesirable. Religion has inspired lots of creativity in the past and it's also a good means of control; some people would be completely immoral if they didn't think there was a big guy in the sky keeping an eye on them. tbh, neither did I. It's nice though, I've not done one of these in a little while.

Just to preface this, I'm fully against racism, it's disgusting that there are people that think like that seriously. It's not Facebook running it, it's just a user-made fan page. Facebook had nothing to do with it. it's another typical example of a government being gung-ho about blocking freedom of speech. It's another thing that pisses me off is that there are countries out there who actively block sites on the internet because of some lame excuse about it being for the good of the citizens or it being offensive. Facebook has a mechanism in place to deal with things like this; you simply click the 'report abuse' link on the fan page and they'll look into it and likely remove it. But no, the government in question has taken it as an opportunity to block the epitome of free speech on the internet - Facebook. tl;dr - Yeah, the group in question was wrong since people get offended by that* but, blocking a site as huge as Facebook when there were less dire ways of dealing with the problem is far worse. There are countries that are making uncensored internet access a human right. We do not live in the 17th century any more. *I personally think all this stuff about religion is over the top in a big way. The drawing a picture of the prophet thing is just another out-dated throwback IMO. If you look objectively at a lot of the bad stuff that's gone on over the history of the world people have used religion as a means of hiding the true intentions of some really disguising things (Talking wars, terrorism, racism, hell even sexism). It's my (possibly disagreeable) view that the world would be a much better place if religion disappeared tomorrow. People wouldn't be able to get support of the stuff I listed above through religion and a lot less would happen. N.B. I don't hate religious peoples and I'm accommodating of peoples beliefs. I just get annoyed when people do something to another person (or group) and say that it's something about how their religion works. Unrelated: I'm also not a fan of people telling me I'm a heathen because I'm an atheist. People need to learn some goddamn tolerance. Sorry about the long post and if I've offended anyone, it was not my intention to do so.

Didn't EA say that TT was going to be the last installment in the C&C franchise?

That kind of framework would probably only be found in an organisation where people get paid. There's not an awful lot of talented assembly hackers around these days. You just get the suits that write for RT computing software and they'd probably never help out on a video game project in their free time.

Have you got .NET v2 and .NET v3 installed? When you install .NET it doesn't include the previous versions.

Yay! You're using my patch

This. It's a good way to get old discussions going again. Is there any new news on BoB. I was actually looking forward to it.

no problem, I'm just putting it out there
