I have been checking benchmarks for months now and also the corresponding prices. If you want a PC right now and this for the best price possible then buy a P4 2.53 Motherboard: either Asus P4T533-C with fast RIMM memory or wait around one or two months to get Motherboards with fast but cheaper DDR2 RAM Hercules 3D Prophet 9700 Pro or Gigabyte GV-R-9700 Pro or Saphire Radeon 9700 Pro or Asus V8420 Deluxe Soundcard: best performance: Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96 best price: Soundblaster Audigy Player

If you are not a UT clan maniac there is no reason to buy it. BUY Gothic II, I am deadly serious. You may rape our dog if you are dissapointed with the game

But seriously people, dont they deserve to be bombed and Why do they have to be AlQuaida? This could have simply been comitted by an ordinary consumer like me who freaked out because of a shelf called "husar" or a table called "ivar" and a bed called "markoer". Anyone who ever tried to put those things together to find out there is one screw missing or the sligthest weights makes the furniture collapse was ready for a bomb attack. If I would have had dynamite damn I would have joined them and helped to make the "Ikea Helpdesk" suffer.

What, of course there is an M60. Allready int the first campaign in Africa there is a door inside the building that leads to a time-machine that was built by the Nazis to import Stealth bombers from the 90ies. Did you misss that door? Anyhow once you get the key for the time-machine and turn it on in the terminal it will bring you to the area 51 in the 1990ies and you find yourself again in a ammo-room full of M60ies and Miniguns. Now if you missed that little extra-mssion then this means the game was over for you after you blew up the mine, so sad cause this actually is just a beginning. In the scond campaign you work with a Dealta unit of Roger Rabbits. And nowadays it is spelled "dudes"

But I guess a sniper wont just sit in the next bush. Dont forget that in Iraq snipers worked up to 1600 metres distance. Do realy think a thermal detector will show you a clear image of a sniper at that distance? I guess not!

Â The U.S forces are going through a similar transformation and it is costing huge amounts of money. This will simply mean a degradation in forces, not a transformation to a new one.<span id='postcolor'> Asbsolutely. A transformation must be seen as an investment and the final outcome of being able to save costs. BTW france is another example of this transformation. And hell thez got a realy good army. And they were able to transform it when their economy was even worse than ours

Of course it is realistic. We germans are super-humans and we take more bullets than ordinary sub-humans. Hell no way you can hurt me with a single grenade or scratch me with a entire M60 magazine fired at me. Those doods of MOHAA did intensive human experiments before delivering the game.

Bundeswehr was run to protect Germany and not to attack anybody. As the risk of Germany being attacked went constantly down the last decade the Bundeswehr needed new tasks. This tasks are NATO or UN missions. The equipment needed for defending Germany does not fit the new tasks requirenments, so all that material has to be changed. Also a personel shrink and the closing of military camps comes along with this. This is nothing special. I wouldnt be surprised if the Bundeswehr would turn into a professionals army within a few years. Keeping it running in the current state costs a hell of money and the need to have all that stuff in camps is not given. Germany is going through some hard financial times at the moment, so no wonder they even cut the military money.<span id='postcolor'> So true! I totally agree with you. But I am afraid that most Germans are not as optimistic and proactive as you are. Those damn square heads in our nation will prevent this transformation for years. Without hurting anyones political feelings but I think our government is probably the worst to tackle the problems our country has right now. I just hope that Germany will be in deep shit again so they learn their lesson. It seems that we are a nation that needs a good punch into the face in order to learn. And the structural problem of our military is just a symptom, but the problem is the rigidity of german heads. The last election was my great hope and the dissapointing outcome forced me to leave Germany and look for jobs elsewhere. What the government doest get is that noone NEEDS to work in Germany. If I dont like the tax-system I simply say: piss of and pay it yourself. This rigidity is can also be seen in what Germans think their reputation is abroad. They still think they are seen as the competent punctual and reliant workers but in reality the germans are more and more seen as the holyday loving constant complainers. Oh and by the way, greetings from a german on job hunt in Malta!

Get GOTHIC II! It is like with operation Flashpoint. Noone knows it but it turns out to be great in the end, they just dont have the same financing power to properly promote it as other bigger enterprises. The first game, Gothic 1 was allready a killer that kept me awake for weeks. DOnt get the scum that is out there right now such as> mythology, New World Order, UT2003 (same as last one, nothing realy new), Robin Hood, Platoon, No one lives forever. I have had the chance to try out all of them and GOTHIC is the best by far. Or better work on your hardware so you are prepared for Doom III with directX 9.0

Well I cant think of any, but maybe you can tell me some!

Oh by the way, since we are talking about Ireland. If you want to read my favourite auto-biography go and read Frank McCourts: "my mothers ash" and " 'tis ". He got a pulitzer for it is not garbage!

I would love to use this person for human-experiments. I would give him instructions and see which he would actually follow, those that are extremely stupid or maybe only those that are just insane. I hope he will ask soon of how to tune his car or isolate his house, hell then I would give him lots of strange advises. I would promise him that his car would run with cucumbers and his house would be isolated against ABC attacks.

He must be very good looking cause otherwise there is no reason why a guy like this should have a wife (or I guess he is just too stupid to know his wife is having an affair! Â

The best part is "noone told me you need a return pipe" and "I think some people are making fun of me"

I could read a book in the while this loads, you shut put a different link to some entertainment!

âs you said before, it is a chopper-magnet. I guess you find it under empty. This H SHOULD WORK!

Â I call this a bug in the game. Â I can't get around it. Â How can i get a chopper to land and cut off engines at a waypoint?<span id='postcolor'> I am not realy the greatest in mission editing but first you should put an invisible H on the location where you want the chopper to land. If you got keygetys editor upgrade 1.2 (obligatory) you can choose between the white H (you know the H for Helipad) or an invisible H. If you want the chopper to turn of the engines this should actually work, however if it still doesnt work then you could simply chose the option "get out" then you will definetly have the desired effect!

All this unzip stuff is kind of useless since most data can hardly be compressed. I think sometimes they deliver downloads as zips/rar/whatever to have them all packed up in a single file. I mean of course you can compress certain things but if you look at it closely the result can vary from extreme compressed to not compressed at all. What do compressors anyway? What informations of a file can be compressed?

We should get back on the topic. Ah I see, you are all HARDCORE NRA MEMBERS and you just try to distract from the film. Funny about the whole issue is that Michael Moore never intended to do films. He actually sold his house to take lessons and to buy a camera. Besides the gun issue he started up with issues such as labour-injustice. Some parts of his book arent realy critical at all, they are just funny and show the sillyness of some of our laws. Did you know that lighters are still allowed on planes but dry-ice is forbidden as well as the ... now that is funny..the machine with airpower you use to blow leaves from the road!
