In case anyone still hasn't heard about the latest terrorist attack:

An American-born man who'd pledged allegiance to ISIS gunned down 49 people early Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation's worst terror attack since 9/11, authorities said.

* The gunman, Omar Mateen, 29, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was interviewed by the FBI in 2013 and 2014 but was not found to be a threat, the FBI said.

Related coverage

* Mateen called 911 during the attack to pledge allegiance to ISIS and mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers, according to a U.S. official.

* Orlando police shot and killed Mateen.

* Mateen's ex-wife said she thinks he was mentally ill.

Mateen carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed Pulse club about 2 a.m. Sunday and started shooting, killing 49 people and wounding at least 53, officials said.

After a standoff of about three hours, while people trapped inside the club desperately called and messaged friends and relatives, police crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and stun grenades and killed Mateen.

Timeline of the Attack

Before 2 a.m. Omar Mateen, a resident of Fort Pierce, a city about 120 miles from Orlando, parked his van outside Pulse, a gay nightclub.

2:02 a.m. He entered the club armed with an AR-15-type assault rifle, a handgun and many rounds of ammunition, and opened fire, said John Mina, the Orlando police chief.

The gunman went outside at some point after the initial shots were fired, the chief said, then went back inside.

Restrooms Some patrons hid in restrooms, calling police and texting friends and family for help. At some point, police received word from inside the building that at least 15 people were hiding in a restroom.

Patio Ray Rivera, 42, a D.J. at the club, was playing reggae music on the patio when the shooting started. “I thought it was firecrackers,” Mr. Rivera said. But the gunfire did not let up. “I saw bodies on the floor, people on the floor everywhere,” he said.

Main entrance Security was posted at the front entrance, and it is unclear how the gunman entered the club.

Main dance floor Latin music was playing on the main dance floor. The nightclub, which calls itself “Orlando’s Latin Hotspot,” was holding its weekly “Upscale Latin Saturdays” party with three D.J.s and a midnight show.

DeAngelo Scott, 30, said the club was packed. “Every room I went into was full. I had to squeeze through the main room.” He left the club at 1:58 a.m.

Then police marshaled forces, bringing in a SWAT team and an armored vehicle. At some point, Chief Mina said, there was contact with the gunman inside. “There was some communication, but we are not going to release that right now,” the chief said.

It is unknown, he said, whether the gunman was killing others inside the club as the authorities prepared for a confrontation.

“Any time we have a hostage situation, we’re definitely going to use extreme measures to make sure we have enough personnel on the scene,” Chief Mina said.

3 a.m. The club posted a warning on Facebook.

5 a.m. The police began an operation to rescue the people trapped inside. They detonated two explosives to distract the gunman. Eleven officers entered the club, and shots were exchanged. Mr. Mateen was killed. One officer was shot in the head, but his Kevlar helmet prevented serious injury, Chief Mina said. At least 30 people were found alive.

Know of a better setup than this? Please let me know! :D

That list has all sorts of problems.... like mismatched memory, lacking wattage in the power supply, and a standard sized case with a micro size motherboard.

Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core, N200 MicroATX Mid Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker

 

I got bored and made a parts list. (I switched CPUs as well cuz that is an oooooooooooold CPU.)

This one looks decent.... the only issue I see with it is the power supply only being 450W... having so little power might cause issues, I'd suggest uping it to at LEAST 550 or higher.

Also is there a specific reason you want a microatx motherboard? You may have troubles fitting everything if you use a micro motherboard and case and it'll be so clumped together that you could have overheating issues. Some standard size cases do support micro motherboards tho, but not really sure why you'd do that.

Um, how come the "want another word? Refresh this page!" Link is purple? If you wanted just one word you just have to visit only the page once and not refresh it....

Because, when I first found the site I clicked it a bunch of times to see if it would be a good site to use, also sometimes it gives me words that aren't formatted the same way as the others in how it defines them(Pronunciation, Meaning, Etymology), and some of them are lame so I skip them.

Oof. Do you go paint-balling often, or more of just dinging targets? I can't imagine spending that much on a paintball gun (or even airsoft gun) if it in't being used in a recreational way with buds or something :coffee:

Not yet, but now that I have something to go do it with I will probably get more into it :)

My BF used to do it a lot so he's pretty much getting me into it with him ^^;

How much dosh did you drop on it?

About $1400 :cool:

So... Is it like a big air-soft gun or...? Either way, it's pretty neat looking

It's a paintball sniper

why not just remove cookies/ use a different browser without logging on and view anything you want?

Because not everyone evades their bans like you do Egossi...

+1 for PAID mod :P

bro just wants his tags back after the nasty @Owl rampage of 2016 :)

But for realsies:

He was a great PM in css and he's extremely active in CSGO

+1 for mod

When you are banned you are moved to a separate group. That group has the viewing guides permission enabled.

 

It's up to the CLs since I'm not sure if that's wanted.

Is that something you just change or has it been like that, because it wasn't working last week.

I don't see why the CLs should have an issue with allowing forum banned people to view the rules of the servers. :)

+1 saw him do it at least once myself... pretty sure he baits a lot too, needs to stop...

@Owl @Chrono @Bleed @orangejuice @Duke @Oden

-1 staff were called... staff muted/gagged them.... I don't see why skipping the proper steps is reasonable for non repeat offenders... unless more happened after the gags/mutes.

Side note: The ban on #3 has the wrong steamid.

• Use teamchat with an @ at the beginning to communicate with staff, it works even while gagged.
  

• A gag can be used in place of a warning/as a warning
  

• You should not continue to argue once asked to stop
  

• The ban should have only been a max of 6 hrs
  

I just checked you can view them while banned.

I couldn't, all I'd get was the banned message/reason.

Did you try it while logged in, because if you aren't logged in you can view everything, some people like me use the in game browser to view the website logged in.

Perhaps the ban protest section should also be unblocked, or at least the ability to view/make your own thread.
