Impending Doom....

Hey, I moved house around a year ago and was surprised afterwards to get a PM asking what happened to the BZWTools site. I didn't realize at the time people were still using it, so this time I'm giving a heads up. My server is suffering from terminal old age :rip: and has been downgraded to light du...

That'd be an absolutely amazing day lol. ~~snip~~ That being said, Tepic's right. If your background isn't in this area, you probably just think we're nuts. Which we are.

Sparky1: If hbar (no symbol on the KB) was 10, would it be safe to cut open a water melon (200mm across with pips weighing in 0.1 gram) ?

To be honest I would have told the were to go, the are whole pools of unused ipv4 addresses being sat on by Incs etc. with no real use. There isn't really a shortage ATM, just the fallout of previous bad managment.

Considering the date of posting, maybe you *should* tell them where to go.

Useless flag is a keeper, every time I get it I can kill 5~6 other tanks before I get shot. Other tips: Don't go flag harvesting on CTF maps, it'll annoy the players on the other team, and you'll likely get targeted with or without a decent flag. It can annoy teammates too, when you have dropped eve...

What's so hard about cd <directory> and make uninstall? You have to keep the source directory around to un-install it. This sounds trivial to start with, but before long you have loads of them, then you need to keep a log of what you have installed and it's dependencies. You are better off building...

Ratfink, why don't you read some RPMbuild tutorials and make the RPM yourself, then you can contribute it to a repository for all the other RedHat users.
