http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=43 Overclockers UK. That's where I got the parts for the PC I built. First time I built one and nothing went wrong...so far! They also offer ready built systems and bundles, just select Intel or AMD Gamer from the side menu, select a PC and you can change some parts about if you want. About Apple stuff, I looked into getting a laptop but the high price and lack of gaming options I went with windows.

The continuous development of technology and the increasing speed of communications does not mean that every process will be sped up. Complicated processes such as democratisation take time, regardless. Your theory would suggest that as time goes we will reach a position where things can take virtually no time at all. That's unrealistic. For those in control of that authoritarian system, yes.

I don't get the radio side messages or voices when I am a CNP officer. When I place myself as a USMC rifleman I get them.

Nonsense. China has done something similar, it has retained an authoritarian system with a capitalist economy. I don't think I would call it successful. Again, stable democracies don't happen overnight. No matter the time period.

As much as I hate Thatcher, Thatcher and Reagan didn't allow banks and other financial institutions to operate without accountability. Ever heard of laissez-faire? It was a policy on economics popular in 19th Century Britain but Thatcher never actually returned to such a policy although it was often referred to. Economic turmoil is nothing new and has been happening for hundred of years. Plus, when have most politicians not been interested in themselves and deriding the opposition parties? Everything changes, everything stays the same.

In 1707 my country was a poor country and then it joined in union with England to form Great Britain for reasons I won't go into detail here. This union gave us access to the colonies England had around the world and allowed trade to freely move between Scotland and England. The economic benefits did not become noticeable until 40-50 years down the line. My point is that a communist state won't turn into a stable and successful democratic capitalist state overnight. It takes time and the former Soviet countries are still very young. If you want an example, the democratic system in Russia is still forming. A key sign of a stable democratic state is a two party system where two parties become popular enough to effectively dominate the political scene. At the beginning there were many political parties in Russia and if you look at it now there are less. A sign that it is maturing. If you expected to become like France, Britain or the US overnight, well, that was just not going to happen.

Great. :cool: I posted on a video of Australians in Vietnam on YouTube asking about its release and was actually contacted by one of the development staff, at least I think it was a developer. I deleted that account so I don't have the PM anymore but it was developed for the ADF only, the public release was scrapped IIRC.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. This is 100% legit?

The Lost Brother's Mod: IDF Infantry Ver. 4
-Snafu- replied to Jewish-Freak's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
The link for the infantry works but the link for the weapons is broken. I had a look through my OFP DVDs but I couldn't find them. I was sure that I had downloaded them and backed them up. :butbut: -
It's included in the WW1 Expansion Pack. :)

iPad? How creative. I checked the link above and looked at the 50 Best Console Games page and laughed and almost cried at this. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6939481.ece Seems that way.

"DR is becoming more popular each day." Rising player numbers? I doubt it.

This. I was in an Apple shop a few days ago and almost died of a heart attack when I saw the prices of their computers and what they offered. Plus, Apple is more of a fashion label these days.

FAFw - Forces Armées Françaises Workshop
-Snafu- replied to SoldierIsNotHistory's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
I don't think publicly accusing BIS and BIA of stealing is exactly helping either. This mess could have been avoided by opening up a private dialogue with BIS or BIA. Or maybe I haven't read things correctly. -
ARMA 1 : beta patch 1.18.5278 RC (road to final) + feedback

Try disabling EAX and/or hardware acceleration. -
They look great! :eek:

Group Link 4 Special FX Edition
-Snafu- replied to snkman's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Thanks, I'll try those. The mission I am making with it will be released and there are some features on GL4 that might break if not set a certain way. I just want to make sure the correct settings are used for those that download it. Also, thanks for GL4 it is a great piece of work. The mission involves moving across enemy terrioty to take out an important enemy asset. To test that the reinforcement was working fine with UPS I shot a guy in a village and the groups from the neighbouring ones quickly started the search. They moved fast and caught up with me using fire and manoeuvre until I died. Excellent. :eek: -
Realistic Briefing Template?
-Snafu- replied to -Snafu-'s topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I know of it and used it before I was just wanting to know if anybody had released one. They did for OFP and I thought briefing creation there was easier. I'll create one myself anyway, thanks. EDIT: Better yet, there's one very similar template on page two of that thread by Rommel92. http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=33468.15 Thanks. -
Hi all Back in the day of OFP there existed a realistic briefing template which gave you a nice realistic briefing to work off of for your mission. It was set out like: Overview Mission Friendly Forces etc. Explained in this guide: http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=470&game=ArmA Each section you clicked on would bring you to the relevant information. Was there one released for Arma 2? Or if anybody has created one would they be willing to share?
-
Yip. There was a lot of complaints about this back in the early ArmA days. Sacre bleu! :eek: :p Things may or may not conflict. I have 3 suppression systems running, GL3, SIX and ECS. So far I have not had any problems and the AI works well enough but I have yet to really experiment with that area. However, it is best not to have multiple scripts or addons running that do the same thing. It may stop any errors and will save system resources. I would go through and see what conflicts and then just have the one you like the best running.

Group Link 4 Special FX Edition
-Snafu- replied to snkman's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
I am making a mission with this that I intend to release at some point and I was wondering what the code is to disable, enable or change certain features in the editor or via init.sqf or something? -
To bring up the binoculars right click or press Ins. A feature not a bug. :) Also, some mod stuff might conflict with each other. ECS and GL3 have a lot of features that crossover. I have a mod set-up similar to Warmod and I have kept ECS for environmental stuff and the wounding effects and GL3 for the AI enhancements. I did disable the GL3 AI combat tactics as I found it to be rather ineffective. It makes the AI stick together but because of other mods I use they still retain a sting. It may not work as my set-up is not the same as Warmod but you can still give it a try. Hopefully they should follow orders now.

No mod tools and no dedicated server files for BF:BC2
-Snafu- replied to AndresCL's topic in OFFTOPIC
Did they not make a big fuss over actually having mod tools and dedicated servers?
