As I said, CPA might be special; accountants are useful. I might go with some sort of government agency, as then you'd get forensic experience (or, if you really want to be an accountant investigating federal crimes, the IRS's Criminal Investigation Division might actually be a place to look after you get forensic experience. They're the ones who handle tax evasion, are armed federal agents, and can get criminals no one else can touch for revenue violations [think Capone]).

Technically, this is correct. Practically, it is extremely, extremely difficult to be hired without significant prior LE experience. Technically, you don't need to have held elected positions to be President; in practice, you do. The FBI is a very competitive job to get; lots of people apply, few are hired. People with past LE or military experience tend to get preferred over others. CPAs might be able to get hired as agents, but it'd probably help if you worked for the IRS for a bit first, or for a state agency.

Do federal *police*? I know federal investigators tend to require prior LE experience (though I'd assume specialized relevant experience, such as forensic accountants applying to IRS Criminal Investigations, would also work), but do uniformed federal security police (e.g. Park Police, Capitol Police, FPS, etc.)?

That's similar to their paintjob that they've had for a long time. @XR410: Ohio is not at all East Coast. It's part of the Midwest.

It WOULD be harsh, if they were doing that. However, I can find literally no sources whatsoever that say ANYTHING besides "July 2014". To answer the OP's question: It's not true. They aren't.

Please pay attention in the future to how old threads are. Bumping excessively old threads is a violation of the Community Guidelines, and can lead to an infraction if done repeatedly.

@tz71: If you keep calling every single shooting incident "fishy", I'm going to start pointing that out. Why not make a debate thread about why you think it's fishy? @gamerdanger: Well, yeah. The federal government does have capital punishment; murdering a federal employee either when he's on the clock or because he's a federal employee is a federal crime, as is committing acts of violence at international airports; both can be punished by death if death results and if certain aggravating factors apply. From media reports (noting that nothing has been proven in a court of law yet), he asked people if they were TSA, implying targeting TSA official, giving all the necessary components of first-degree murder of a federal employee. The fact that he apparently shot multiple people is an aggravating factor, which can qualify him for a death sentence. That was clear as soon as we heard the TSA employee died.

Sam is likely aware of him; LMS certainly is. Here's what MulleDK19 does that is far, far cooler than his mod: he hands out on the IRC channel #gtaivnetscripthook and offers help to anyone who shows up and wants to get scripting help. As you can see in the video, he's good; he is also quite knowledgeable in reverse engineering, and I think he's actually worked on Scripthook.NET itself (not just scripts that run on it; I think he's been involved in the scripthook development. He and LMS are the top tier of scripters that I'm aware of who are active.

I'm pretty confident you could, in a script, force spawn boats with other peds in them. Not sure about having them standing in back, but you could certainly create a driver. It'd probably be roughly similar to cars. However, with cars, there are a lot of well-documented things to make them behave on the road; not sure how they apply to boats. Likewise, I don't think you could easily change natural spawns (i.e. spawned by GTA, not by a script; natural spawns tend to work better than force spawns if you just want them to cruise around.

Technically, the "correct" notation is kilo-, mega-, giga-, etc., mean what they do with all other units (i.e. powers of 1,000). If you follow the IEEE's rules, 1024 B=1 KiB (1024 bytes is one kibibyte, to go with mebi-, gibi-, etc., for "kilo binary" etc.). The IEEE says it because of a combo of storage manufacturers and that's literally what kilo, mega, etc. mean, they have perfectly good meanings in SI units, and it's really stupid to have a special case where they mean something different. In contrast, the way RAM is addressed lends itself to powers of 2 for memory on each card, so RAM (and most programs) treat kilo as 1024.

...unless they, say, reached a deal with Ubisoft. As a general rule, companies let other companies use trademarks for sufficient sums of money. There may well not be a legal case, and any case would almost certainly be settled (instead of a court ruling on it, the two sides agree to certain conditions, generally involving a payment from one side to the other and the condition that neither can reveal how much the payment is, and then drop the suits). The odds that this actually goes to court for a legal ruling are low. All that is out there; feel free to make me eat these words if I'm wrong.

I'm wondering what happens if we have copies of Kevin's unlocked mods. If I have a copy of his unlocked Edge from GMC, does the permission still stand to use it in my own models?

I'm quite certain Activision's army of lawyers is in contact with Ubisoft's army of lawyers. As a general rule, companies pay tons of money to tons of lawyers to check this sort of stuff before shipping.

What? Where do you get from that to "need social lives"? And why the hell do you feel the need to comment with that? Really? Claiming that other people have no life is a) a pretty stupid thing to say, b) one of the most overused claims on the Internet, and c) generally, the people who say it are EXACTLY the sorts of people who could do with spending a little more time off their computers (yes, I know that by my logic, I should thus spend more time off my computer. This is true, but the difference is that I actually admit it.)

To the best of my knowledge, you'd have to edit in 3ds max. Not certain, but likely.

Yeah, Kevin's files here were removed by request. At this point, you may be pretty much reduced to what you have on your hard drive.

And you got that off the tail end of a sentence starting with "I was 10 years old". ...

My first time was with a .22 rifle, prone, and I think I may have hit the paper once with 10 rounds. (in my defense, I was ~10 years old at the time, and I got better with age and size.

That's to be expected; GTA, from what I've read, was literally created because of a bug in a racing game where cops were crazy overaggressive in ramming you, and the development team thought it was HILARIOUS.

Moved to Suggestions and Requests. If I understand what you're asking, you want a way to have more than just one partner? If so, it's probably either multiplayer, or someone using a trainer/bodyguard script to recruit bodyguards (who, however, lack the full LCPDFR partner AI; best for SWAT-type things, not so good if you want them to arrest people).

How is 8.1 vs. 7 as opposed to 8 vs. 7? I'm considering getting a VM of 8.1. Is it worth trying out?

No, my point is that the drunk guy (who I'm assuming is at fault) survives, while people who aren't at fault die.

The really bad part about crashes involving alcohol is that the drunk driver survives more often than the people in the car they hit (drunks don't tense up, which means they get hurt less on average). DUI multi-car crashes are more likely to kill someone who did nothing wrong than the guy who caused it.
