When will TeamSpeak 3 be released, and why is it taking so long?
TeamSpeak 3 is a complete re-write of the product from the ground up. Previous versions of TeamSpeak were written in Pascal, a much older programming language with many limitations. In contrast, TeamSpeak 3 is written in C++ and not only will introduce a completely new SDK based architecture, but upon its initial release to the public will also introduce cross-platform support for both client and server for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms. This is not an easy feat which is one of the reasons the dev team has chosen to take the added time to make certain that TeamSpeak 3 is everything our users and customers have come to expect in a quality VoIP product.
Also keep in mind TeamSpeak 3 is introducing many new features as well as tackling many previous challenges in terms of scalability, compatibility, and of course superior voice quality. We are confident that once our product enters open beta the TeamSpeak community will agree that TeamSpeak 3 was well worth the wait. This in mind, we are in fact approaching completion, but the bottom line is that the product will be released when we are confident that it is 100% ready for open beta.
Please be sure to stay tuned to our website and our Dev Blogs for the latest info on TeamSpeak 3 progress.
After I got my posterior chewwwed right off the bone for playing "COD 4" all the time by my girlfriend, I thought she may have a point as things have been very emotional here at home recently.
As she lost her father in February I thought to myself that I must try to do more for her. So, in sympathy towards her feelings, I thought, what can I do to bring a bit of laughter & cheer to her life to make her feel better & me also. With this in mind, I set to thinking about what I could come up with. Being a typical man, the first thing that sprung to mind was good old fashioned no holds barred passion.
FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, after she watched her soaps & I had couple of "MAPS ON THE DOM SERVER", my girlfriend and I decided to have an early night. So, I thought, here's my chance to make amends. Well, the passion starts to heat up, we were all over each other & just when I was ready to bring out the "M4 CARBINE AND EMPTY A COUPLE OF CLIPS", she looks up at me and says "I don't feel like it! I just want you to hold me". I said "Huh? What??!! What's that all about????!".
She says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You are just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your "AIM AND SHOOT" needs as a man". She replied to my puzzled look by saying "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom!?".
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to skip off of work to spend time with her. We went out for a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big exclusive department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different, very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought "I WAS ONE PLAYER SHORT OF A SCRIMM SERVER!".
I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey". She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think that is all dear. Let's go to the cashier". I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it". Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT?". I then said "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my "COD 4" needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for "THE SERVER I PLAY ON" and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least now she knows I'm smarter than her."
SO ON THAT NOTE IT WAS STRAIGHT BACK TO THE "cod 4" SEVER FOR SOME GOOD OLD FASHION MALE SATISFACTION.
The moral of the story is....
Now you see that we men are much simpler to satisfy than the emotional creatures that we cannot live with or without, "DON'T MESS WITH COD 4 LADIES!".

While at holiday event, firefighter hears distress call, rushes to save choking victim.
By BILL MOOR
South Bend firefighter Pete Pajakowski wore a Santa hat last Saturday while he passed out candy and helped kids onto Engine 8 for pictures.
He and his fellow firefighters -- Capt. Nick Schrader and driver John Banacki -- had also delivered Santa Claus to the Erskine Boulevard Candlelight Walk.
Ho, ho, ho.
"It was one of those holly-jolly sort of events," Pete says.
And then he heard the dispatch over their fire truck's radio while he helped a little boy up into the cab.
It was an emergency call to an address not far from their location.
"Dispatch was sending a truck and ambulance from Station 10 down on York Road," Pete says.
He shrugged.
"I told them I would check it out," he says, even though their truck from Station 8 on Twyckenham Drive was "out of service" for the Erskine event.
He jogged down to the address, just four houses away, and saw a woman inside the front door trying to help an older man.
"I figured he might have suffered a fall until I saw that his face was blue and his eyes were red," Pete says. "I thought to myself, 'Ooooh, that's not good.'"
David Wells, in his 70s, was choking to death.
Karen Thomas, the owner of the house and the daughter of David's girlfriend, was the one who had called 911 before trying desperately to save him. Then Pete showed up.
"He still had on his Santa's hat," Karen recalls.
Pete quickly took over the Heimlich manoeuvre from Karen but couldn't get the job done that way, either.
By that time, his two crewmates were there, too, and David was put on the floor.
"I knew we had to get his airway open, and so I got the laryngoscope and forceps out of the box that Nick had brought in," Pete says.
Time was crucial. David was no longer responsive.
Trained as an EMT, Pete had to take the forceps about 4 inches down David's trachea. On his second attempt, he was able to pull out a big piece of sausage pizza.
"What did you just do, pull out his tonsils?" Nick couldn't help but blurt out.
"Everybody's adrenaline was still going," Karen admits. "It was like an episode out of 'ER.' "
It took more than a minute before David started to come around.
"At that point, we all started breathing again," Pete recalls.
Not long after that, the ambulance raced up in front of the house and took David to the hospital, where he was later released.
"I don't think David would have made it if Pete and the others weren't right there to help," Karen says. "They were awesome."
Pete, 32 and a 1993 South Bend Clay graduate, picked up his Santa hat that had fallen on the floor, passed out the remaining candy outside and went back to work at Station 8 with Nick and John.
"I'm sure I looked like one of Santa's little helpers when I showed up at their door," Pete says.
He ended up being a lifesaver.
Karen took cupcakes over to Station 8 the next day, but the other crew ate half of them before they realized what they were for - to Pete's dismay.
She didn't say if David -- "who is like a father to me" -- got a cupcake, too.
"I do know that if we have pizza again, we're going to cut his slices into very small pieces," she says.
"We are all lucky that we were in the neighborhood with the truck," Pete says.
Ironically, that is his neighborhood, too. Pete and his wife, Rebecca, and their three children live a block away from Karen's home. Like most of the residents on Erskine Boulevard that evening, they had their luminarias out for the candlelight walk.
