Care package runners are still too fast, and by care package I really mean any of those package grenades that allow you to run as if you’re speed hacking. Model 1887’s still have too much range, although they did make somewhat of an improvement. I still feel cheap using them, so i’ll continue to skip them in favor of the previous shotgun. But the big problem I have is with the various texture and XP hacks. I think their fixes lasted on the order of minutes or hours rather than days.

I just thought I found a really bad flaw in an O’Reilly book that I starting thumbing through entitled “BSD Hacks - 100 Industrial Strength Tips & Tools” written by Dru Lavigne. In one of the very hacks the author enlists the reader to create his or her very first script. “If you’ve never written a script before, this is an excellent exercise in how easy and useful scripting can be.” I laughed after reading this because it’s also an exercise in how much damage such a small bug can do.
