There is a cl_ command to enable/disable ragdoll physics although I can't for the life on me remember what it was. I use to use it when playing CSS to disable the ragdoll when a player died (the model would just disappear instead) for extra performance.
Maybe try "cl_phys_props_enable 1"...
Perform a search on the driveletter:\Program Files\Steam for "*.mdl, *.vvd, *.vtx". The file should be in the TF2 folder. You can post a picture of the results here if you're unsure which ones to delete.
Been buying things from eBuyer since 2001/2, never had a problem with them.
I've also bought from Overclockers although only on one occasion. Used a few others like AUTDirect for older components and Stak Trading as they are local to where I live.
You can find all the flash based videos you watch in your browsers cache folder. Just let it download completely and arrange the files by largest first and add .flv, .swf or .mp4 on the end.
Everytime you view a Flash based video/audio stream it downloads to your computer anyway. You just need to know where to look for it...
*cough* cache folder
onChange is suppose to work the way you described where by it'll fire only when the user has finished changing the data in the input field. I think you might want to try onKeyDown or onKeyUp instead. You may even have to use both of them together.
I agree with Qonfused that you should buy a pair of decent headphones with an attachable mic. Also, what kind of soundcard do you have? If it's a fairly decent one (ie dedicated creative, asus or whatever soundcard) then that's more of a reason to get a good pair :).
Take a look at what...
Going by the details you gave it seems it's a laptop. You'd be better of getting it for the PS3 unless your fine with playing it at the lowest detail with slideshow FPS. A few benchmarks can be found here for you GPU: http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-3470.9594.0.html
I can't see how this is something significant. If this can only be done while physically at the computer then it's no different than someone deciding to perform a low level format on your HDD.
For those interested and in the UK, the new special episodes of Red Dwarf start tonight at 9PM on Dave. (http://dave.uktv.co.uk/)
They'll also repeat all the episodes again on Monday.
Both USB and FireWire are PnP. Some people might use FireWire over USB for a number of reasons. USB is more suited for printers, scanners and other peripherals that don't require so much throughput. FireWire is more suited to external HDD (though eSATA will most likely take it's place), video...
It would if the PS3 can do that, which I don't know if it can. Since the interfaces use different resolutions/specifications I'm guessing you won't be able to.
If you're going to record from an analog source to a digital one you'll have to consider the delay caused by encoding. What you see on the TV could be delayed by 1-2 seconds if you use the DVD Recorders output which'll cause problems if you're playing games through it. You'll have to split the...
You will most likely have to have everything on low for it run at an acceptable frame rate which means it will look poor quality. This is the only benchmark for this adapter being tested with HL2 I could find.
It gives no details on the page about the settings used but the 800x600 resolution...
The RAM and CPU (which I'm assuming will be fast enough) are adequate enought for HL2, EP1 and EP2. The graphics adapter will play HL2 and EP1 although not at max settings. EP2 is a bit more intensive but it may also run on low settings OK.
