Ok thanks for the insight, I appreciate it. But really, u could give it without bashing people.
"If it really gets to u all this untrue statements on mailing lists, forums etc, try making a detailed "how-to run a smooth kick ass game server" so we may all be as enlightened as u obviously are, instead of acting like a know it all." [quote] You repsonded. Nothing useful in the mail as far as I can see. [/quote] All someone can do is exchange his knowledge, be it true or false, the knowledge someone has is by education reading etc, not always is the knowledge someone gathers accurate, cause like u; other people (me included) also read inaccurate information on the web, good info is hard to come by as u stated somewhere in your own <rant></rant> post previously. So I really don't see why you're so upset if someone gives incorrect information, if what u said is true, u of all people should realize that having the correct information is something to cherish, and having the false information is more common then having the correct one, so why blame a person for that? So you're contradicting yourself, I'm not the one that claims to have the one and only truth neither am I trying to justify the things I wrote previously, what would be the point in that? I wrote what I thought I knew, if u want to make this into a game SIR than by all means go on and play your game... This list is for server admins to exchange their knowledge, so keeping what I wrote above in mind, you're sure to get false information... Should we all be silent if we are not as enlightened as u is? So stop acting like a know it all, and just exchange what u think to know about running game servers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Tucker Sent: donderdag 8 september 2005 15:10 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Tick Rate Guide Updated > Then why start the contest?

Please > tell me. Yes, most GSP's are totally incompetent, and this frustrates me to high heaven. Game server admins should be trying to produce high quality gameservers, and I'm afraid if you think this requires little to no knowledge of your operating system of general configuration you are very much mistaken. Please feel free to continue taking money off of small children for services rendered at sub-par qualities, whilst you trawl entire subnets of forums that contain "just enough info" using all the incorrect terms (making it actually very hard to get from, for example, the steam forums to systeminterls via hyperlinks when searching anyhing related to this subject area). > I'm sure most people here, just want go give advice Advice is best served correctly, otherwise, the typical english phrase used to describe it is "bad advice". > that explain how > something works, not persé in the right terminology etc etc that really > explains the same thing, only takes twice as long to read. If what was said had been accurate there would have been no issue. It is the fact that it is generalised so far as to INCORRECT that I despute this point. If you want to spread bad information under the flag of "simple" information then all my hope is lost. > If people want more indebt information on how it really works.

Actually, just go to google and start searching for all your old terms, see how far you get. > If u think people really need to know the "real information" then go ahead > and post it, but keep your arrogant attitude and remarks to your self > please. I will happily do this if you will agree to stop posting incorrect information. Is this fair? I think it is. > > For instance I wrote this in another post: > > A multi-media timer or mm-timer in short (do a google search on the > abbreviation) handles rate and precision at which data gets processed. > The normal timer isn't that precise because most programs don't need high > precision, programs that do need it such as voIP and streaming media change > this mm-timer. > > The site from your first link starts by saying this: > > High resolution timers are desirable in a wide variety of different > applications.

MIDI is a perfect example because MIDI sequencers must > maintain the pace of MIDI events with 1 millisecond accuracy. How many VOIP apps run on MIDI? For a start Sir, VOIP runs VOIP, Voice Over Internet Protocol. One of the axioms of this communications medium is the non-continual flow of information, this is quite the opposite of MIDI. Once again, you did not understand due to your passion for "generalised" information. Maybe this will suggest why you need REAL information as opposed to GENERAL information. > I don't see much difference tbh, sure the second gives more precise info, > but I tried explaining in short what mmtimer is, and tbh I don't think I did > it that badly. The difference is massively important, furthermore, you still seem to be resisting the fact, that there is no such thing as an mmtimer. It's the kernel timer, running in higher resolution. > Now kindly take your pissing contest, and your arrogant attitude elsewhere. Very well, I will from now on silence myself from this list. I was once willing to provide useful and accurate information to those that required it, and I know full well that in the past I have actually assisted several competing GSP's to decrease ROI and to increase their revenue by the help I have given them. I'm not arrogant thank you, I'm just fed up. As above, I assure you, I have no further interest in helping this community. Clearly you are too proud to accept your own limitations, and just listen to a voice of reason, which is trying to provide you (free of charge) with accurate information. Please continue to waste my time by corrupting others minds which I will later have to correct. I'm out of here. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
