Ive been using Bitdefender security suite for the past 12months, having been a Kaspersky user for many years prior to that. It's unobtrusive, and very easy to use. One of it's better features, and why i switched to it in the first place, is its gaming mode. It has auto detect gaming mode, which makes life nice and easy. It shifts seamlessly between modes and i havent had any issue with the firewall playing online at all. Obviously thats using the suite (av + firewall)

Sure mate, i'l pm you a license. Surprised no one else has taken up the offer. I can understand trepidation over this, but the link is genuine, one only needs to check it out to be sure. I simply have no use for these, hope ya'll can make use of them, i'd hate to see them go to waste.

Well, yes and no. Let me explain...logically, yes it made sense, but the return pipe is lower in the res then the level the coolant was at. It's an odd setup. The coolant level in the res was clearly above the intake pipe, and well above the out pipe, so the noise made no sense. The only thing i have been able to summize, is that the level was sufficiently low that a current, or disturbance in the flow, was being created, but i would have thought that would result in a constan

**Always remember when i give advice it's based on DA, not TA, but there shouldn't much difference.** Depending on what type of game your going for i would say determines your priority's. For me, not matter the game, it's get the first two research techs and basic miniaturization, which gives you the Tech Cap. then i move onto the diplomacy techs, and build the diplomatic translators. (you get that with the first diplo tech. Then i look at the game and

BitDefender AV 2012..free! in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Hi all! I recently updated my BitDefender Internet Suite to the 2012 version and in doing so have been given free licenses for BitDefender AV 2012. Now all my PC's and the ones i look after all use Internet Suites, so stand alone AV's are more than useless to me, so i'm more than happy to offer them up to anyone who needs one. You must download, install and activate within 30 days, but it's a genuine deal (see link) and i wont be using any of them, so i have 5

Okay, seems i have pinpointed the cause of the noise, but the why or how eludes me. The reservoir was down to about 2/3rds, i was letting it drop at it's natural rate so i could test and be sure the built in low level warning was going to work. Having not to keep an eye on the res level was going to be a plus. I was trying to think how i could better explain the noise and i thought a mini waterfall enclosed in a box might describe it better, which got me looking at the res. I d

At those levels, the AI are quite handicapped. The difficulty level you want is Tough. here the AI is at 100% with no bonuses, as level a playing field as your going to get. From Painful on the AI increases by about 5% per level till Masochistic, from that point they get frighting bonuses. Here is a link that i think you will find helpful. GC2Wiki Difficulty Levels :)
