someboy replied to EricM's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
The videos look great. Nice interiors. -
Yes, I told you in a previous post I have seen this documentary, and I pointed you to some links where it gets dissected and analyzed by other people. Even scientints being featured in it have complained that their words were completely taken out of context, and that they were basically cheated. Couldn't agree more. However, when thousands of scientists from the most renowned organizations agree on a fact... well, that give's you a hint.

Just a couple things to add. Agree that the best way to get "clean" information is to read from as many sources as possible. Still, as Serclaes pointed out, non-private source does not mean reliable. I just believe that in this specific topic of climate change, scientific papers are the best source to rely on. It is not a matter of opinion or politics, it is based on actual data analysis. I wonder why you say that those sources are not realiable, or less reliable than yours. At least scientific papers go through a peer review, which means that several experts independently evaluate the paper accuracy prior its publication. By the way, I don't know why you assumed I am american. I am european, and English is not my native language either. Regards.

Well, I stick with the position based on scientific evidence, not on pseudo-scientific opinions. If that means I have no idea what is going on... I bet you didn't read any of the links I posted. To spetz: yeah basically saying that oil will end means that the sources will become so scarce that it is not profitable to extract anymore. That should make today's global economic crysis a joke. By the way, here's a list of organizations defending that the cause of global warming are humans (or at least most probably). All filled with people who does not know what is going on... right mr.g-c?

Do you have a reference where we can actually confirm this? If by Nazi Scientist you mean for example Julian Huxley, then sorry but I believe he did not work for the Nazis in any manner. Eugenics, as you mention, is a philosophical idea of improving human race, usually by controlling human breeding. During the 1920’s and 30’s it had quite a few followers around the globe. It was during WWII that the so called eugenics was taken to an extreme and used as a pretext to exterminate millions of lives. Julian Huxley, one of the founders of WWF (founded in 1961), and who died more than 20 years ago, was a promoter of Eugenics. I do find this philosophy totally regrettable, however I do not believe this is enough to assert that WWF, at least in it current state, promotes any form of eugenics. I read the article you pointed about Eugenics in the http://www.oldthinkernews.com/ web (the name says it all, by the way). In it, they relate child policies and contraception measures to Eugenics, which is a wrong assumption (either due to misinformation or to a demagogic procedure of explaining things). Child policies pretend to control population growth. By no means is it related to breeding control of LOWEST classes (in order to obtain better human specie). Child policies pretend to avoid excess of population, not eliminate undesirable classes. There are a number of reasons to desire population not to grow excessively, but they can be summarized in: all humans live in the same rock called Earth, and Earth has no infinite resources (this is a fact, not an opinion). I am not sure I understand correctly these sentences, but I do believe you pretend to say that both “Oil will finish in about 30 years†and “Global warming is caused by humans†statements could not be true (just an invention of people who like to invent horrible things to hurt our feelings). First, if by alternativ/neutral NON-PRIVATE TV-Channels you mean things like http://www.oldthinkernews.com/, then nothing left to discuss there (I can see where you got those ideas from). Second: “Oil will finish in about 30 yearsâ€. This statement does not come from environmentalists groups, but from the scientific community. Do you mean that geologists around the world have secret meetings in which they plan how to lie to the human race because they like to be evil? Whoa, never thought that a geologist could be worse than Hitler… Third: “Global warming is caused by humansâ€. I presume this idea comes from people watching documentaries such as “The global warming swindle†(actually you mention this documentary in your post). I have watched that documentary, and also watched other videos and articles answering to the conclusions drawn in that documentary, drawing the main inconsistencies contained in it (from a scientific point of view). Please, please, really please please read the following (you can even find criticisms to that documentary from scientists FEATURED in the documentary itself): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle http://www.durangobill.com/Swindle_Swindle.html http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=414 You know, it is not only Al Gore that has the opinion of the global warming being caused by humans. Please learn the facts (all of them). Regarding the rest of the videos you linked, I haven’t had time to watch them yet, but I will later today. Regards.

It is not like they are asking you to do something for their own benefit... It is the benefit of all of us (and that includes you).

Most senseless argument i ever heard...
-
Thanks for letting us know. I will be turning of as many lights as possible, definitely. I hope BIS doesn't release ArmAII demo at that time...

They also mention Q1 release, which is a little bit unlikely... -
Lack of character shadow in 3rd one probably helps getting that feeling. WIP. Nevertheless, it is true that in no sunshine scenes, colors seem to be way too pale (in my opinion)

ArmA2 factions: What's the NAPA faction?
someboy replied to ricnunes's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
Well, it's got two possible meanings: 1) News does not mean info about factions necessarily => more than 5/6 weeks left from release 2) The weekly basis of news is over => release date is here (less probable...) -
Hi Shadow, I see you are running a 9850BE with a GA-MA78G-DS3H (rev. 1.0). In the information web for this motherboard model it is stated that the 9850 is not supported, so that might be causing your problems. To check if this is actually the problem I would lower both the frequence and voltage of your cpu (for example, setting the cpu multiplier to 5, giving you 1000Hz, and setting the v to 1.00). If reboots stop happening, it probably means that your MB cannot provide enough power to your cpu. I have the exact same cpu, but with an asrock fulldisplayport, which is specifically stated to support this cpu model. Everything runs fine for me, no reboots at all. PS: For modifyings multipliers and v i suggest to use amd's overdrive tool.

Hi, I finally reinstalled windows, and it's the same, no onboard audio. I've posted this problem in several HW forums, but it might be simply that this board is defective. Regarding arma, i didn't reinstall it, i'll try later. boba, have you been able to fix the problem?
-
I will do desertFox, probably this weekend, i'm just to busy these days. I'll let you know if it works. Thank you very much.
-
Yes, i did set Audio to "Enabled" in the BIOS boba, did you try the MP demo? Did you have any problems with it? I'll try catalyst 7.2, and see if they help...

Hi. I have had the same problem both am1727 and bobalobmitchell described. My specs are: AMD 3700+ 939 Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 ATI 1600Pro 1gb ram (1 512 module + 2 256 modules) A very old sounblaster card I have all latest drivers installed. I acquired the motherboard and processor a few days ago, and i could not get the sound to work, thats why i installed the old soundblaster. I have tried the demo and played it for several hours, so I dont believe it is due to a temperature problem. This happens a few seconds or minutes after being playing around (and prior launching arma, my cpu temp is 30C, with CnQ of course), but i will try to check it out anyway. So far, this happens only "inside" a mission, not in the menu, not in the editor. If it's not temps, i have seen boba and i have the same board. Could that be the reason? I'll keep trying...
