if you're using Vista or 7 you can right click on my computer -> manage -> disk management and use the one in there. If you're on XP I like Easeus partition manager. It can resize any of the non-system partitions while windows is running, and has a very easy interface

its good. I'm an avid player of fallout 3 and i'd say borderlands is dangerously addictive. It's like fallout with cars and multi player co-op.

Wrong.

Auto adjust put you in medium terrain mode. It does that. Draws high for near and low for far in a blocky obvious way.
If he's talking about what i think he's talking about. It's not that it just puts it in medium mode. He means that the outside squares don't get drawn at all. I've had this happen before, especially in the editor when i have the viewdistance way up. They way i have to reset it is to go into the console and reset the viewdistance each time. I dunno how to fix it in game.

the base (get it? heheh) problem i think is that you usually don't do proofs with repeating decimals anyways, because by definition they are so inaccurate. Usually you stick to the fraction because they're absolutely precise.

hmm then why is it that when i try to join a game that is using thug recy and i already have it in adon that i get a error saying i dont have irvsrecy and frvsrecy
Those guys are not playing with the thug recy. i dunno which variant that is, but the thug recy is ivsrecygh and fvsrecygh

may have a b on the end for the TTB version

.9' is not 1
.3' + .6' is not .9'
Great thing about math... if you're going to say anything about it, you have to prove it.

That's a flaw with the mathematics though, not with the working out. If something is done to one side and the other then the values are affected in the same way and they change to the same thing - or that's the theory anyways.
The flaw has everything to do with the 'working it out' part.
By definition, a is equal to b. This fact is conveniently forgotten in the "Cancel the (a - b)s..." step.
Since a is equal to b, then a minus b is zero. period.
Therefore cancelling (a-b), also known as dividing by (a-b), is an illegal operation. A division by zero.

I agree with you on the "both sides are affected" part. In this case however, both sides equate to undefined. Therefore undefined still equals undefined.

Wikipedia may be able to explain it better that i do.

Division by zero is not technically illegal in higher math, it just means "all solutions reach infinity" or some such nonsense.

Actually (a-b) is zero. When you "Cancel the (a - b)s...", that's when you're dividing by zero.

you could find the first ignored flaw by looking at the third step.
if a = b
then a^2 - b^2 = 0
and on the other side of the equation, ab - b^2 = 0

therefore => 0 = 0

I think locking the topic is a bit excessive. bzuniverse has a knack for going OT. This is a trait I know and love, I was just poking fun at it.

If anything I think it should be iron maiden's call.

is it SATA or IDE? If SATA then yes it can. If IDE then you have to get a converter.

i've rarely had luck with linux installations from CDs. The live CD usually works fine but if i want to do a full on installation I almost always have to use a USB stick.

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ has a ton of pretty good walkthroughs for making a USB drive
