Me and my friend did some work and found the multiple killing medals. To do this we modified the map to have the only respawn point right in the middle, my friend then stood behind the only respawn point and started assassinated me repeatedly.
Here they are:
Some people probably already knew this because it’s all on Halo3Medals.com. But that’s how to do it if you ever want to try it, try to do it on a small map or otherwise you’re gonna take a couple days deleting all the respawn points. We did it on Guardian. So if you ever get bored! Give it a try!
A great alternative linux distribution I’ve been using is Linux Mint. Linux Mint is Ubuntu-based and comes stock with non-free codecs for playing MP3, AAC, ALAC, and DivX video files that don’t come preinstalled with most other distributions. Linux Mint comes stock also with Compiz and Beryl. Linux Mint also comes with updated versions of Amarok. Unlike Ubuntu and especially Debian, Linux Mint is updated almost every 1 to 2 months. The only downside to it is that they do not have a 64-bit Linux Mint, but I’m guessing with it’s growing popularity it will come soon.
If you want Linux Mint and you are not legally allowed to use those non-free patented codecs your country they have recently come out with a “free” Light Edition of Celena, their latest 3.1 release.
Finally old Steve has approved of an iSDK for some of the great products of Apple this year or perhaps so far this decade.

As an Trillian Astra tester and a Mac owner, I’ll be bringing you screenshots of the Mac version of Trillian as soon as I get my hands on the download.
See Cerulean Studio’s blog post on their latest creation.
Trillian is probably the most popular multi medium IM client for Windows. But I’m not convienced an OS X or Linux will over take Adium or Pidgin.
But still, big thanks to Cerulean!
Finally after a long wait, Leopard is ready to pounce onto your Mac. Apple has set the release date to October the 26th.
When will OS X ever cease to amaze me… We will see in on that wonderful day.
Recently, Comcast has stopped the seeding of torrents. (More details here)
Basically, what they’re doing is telling your computer it needs to close it’s TCP connection at a certain port (in this case, your torrent clients’ port) via the RST TCP reset command.
Since they’re using such basic methods to stop seeding, there’s a simple way to stop them from stopping you. Although I have no fix for the Windows operating system, in Linux, it’s a simple fix. Every modern Linux distribution has iptables, so all you have to do is set it up to block this RST command. This should also work in BSD systems, Mac OS X, or any system with iptables.
All you have to do is run the following command, with superuser privileges (sudo, fakeroot, a super user terminal, etc). The one thing you need to do, is change the word $port to whatever port your torrent client uses.
Run in your shell/terminal: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport $port --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP
Also, should you ever need to remove this, all we need to do is make that A (for Append) a D (for Delete). The resulting command would be:
Run in your shell/terminal: iptables -D INPUT -p tcp --dport $port --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP
In addition, I believe that if you have a router running some variant of Linux (DD-WRT, Open-WRT, etc), this trick should work on that, since all we’re doing is dropping RST commands.. All you should need to do is ssh or telnet into your router and run the command with the appropriate port, however, I haven’t tested this, so do this with caution.
If you have Windows, well, you’re SOL for now. Although, I expect a solution will reveal itself in the coming months.
All thanks to Eddie from my favorite tracker.
