It might be that I am talking bullshit now because I am not really a Bit&Byte freak but I have the impression that the Videocard nowadays is more important than the performance of the processor. I made this experience, whether it is the Mb capacity or just the rest of the improving cards I really dont know! But one thing is for certain, OFP cries for RAM. RAM is the major factor improving the performance. Even my 128 of the fastest RAM werent sufficient so I added 256MB and it changed a lot!

GameShot : Do you have any information about Starcraft2? Bill Roper : We have no time to think about Starcraft2 for now since Warcraft3 and WOW are in process of development. But I promise Blizzard Entertainment 'will' make Starcraft2 at a later time. (this interview is old)!!! But even though there are now real releases of any kind so far the whole thing is just rumour. Still, there is allready a forum only about Starcraft 2. Funny no? No facts so far, so what do they talk about?

It would be nice to have some kind of "guide" for someone like me with one of the oldest versions of OFP what one should have. I dont only mean the silly upgrades I mean all the maps such as the winter maps, the best new models (are there any real new models anyway), and the best new units /guns. Someone should create a file of like 50MB that contains them all.!

After 1 year now in this forum (or more?) I think I start to know people! Just imagine all of us would start up a business! What would we sell Who would take which position Whatever we may sell, I think Denoir would be responsible for developing the corporate ethics/moral and NordinDK for the waste-disposal!

The same was true for the animals, some where sleeping at night others were hunting. Gothic was the most realistic Roleplay game I ever played, but too hard to advance!

Now we know why we should be glad that in most western countries the military is still subordinate of other bodies of the country! I am quite confused by those people that use their life experience to simplify and compress all impressions to only a few "pearls of wisdom". It shows that those peoble are not capable to diversify and need clear prefabricated formulas that help them judge a situation and make it digestable for their understanding. We all know these people from school than only reproduce but have problems when being faced with a new thing in the examen. His prejudice agains the theoretical people from university may be justified but it shows that he has got a clear complex here! If he would be a girl I would say he is sexually frustrated (I guess this is what most marines must be considering the amount of service time). "We are not all good.." well that definetly is true for many marines if you look at their past! (I dont want to know about his childhood). As a conclusion I would say that this dude has so rigid and clear made up ideas of how life is and people are. If everything appears so clear to him I am sure he sees no reason to inhale new impressions and to learn new things. In this context he can only be wrong.

Yeah! I had absolutely the same experience as most of you. I read computergame-mags a lot. So actually I should have known about this game that later on would get the highest grade of all games of the year (except for a strange reason the editors chose CIVIII even though the readers voted in favour of OFP). I went into a shop wanted to buy a new CD for the car. Then I saw a shelf and thought I am now gonna find a game with the highest system requirements to fit my new pentium 1.3. Since the screenshots were so great great great I couldnt resist. I have never played a game that kept me going for such a long time.

Before this page, all contributions were basically refering to the topic and I think really funny. I enjoyed them. Spamming is something else. Â Now back to the topic, I mean most of us are allready in the working age (or have some working experiences) and we have a way of behaving ourself here in this forum. We should know our working-patterns and characteristics. I know that at work in Asia I was kind of very rude with the people there, most of the time I was the devils advocat, the one to disillusion the strange ideas they sometimes had (but I was also the only one to hang around with the operational staff all the time at the beach afterwards till late at night). I dont even want to know how I would behave if this Forum would be a company in SouthEastAsia`?

It was this link..aehm well maybe not a very sophisticated source In Germany we have a big budget problem! As you know we still have the obligatory military service (like Corea). This turns out to be a huge unflexible unefficient apparatus. So many investments are urgent but we have to choose only a few that we actually can afford.

Scout, I hope you know what you are missing (of course you are, there were times not too long ago when peace appreared near). Feeling safe when going out and enjoying parties and crowded clubs. You pay more for this conflict than you may think. "I am still alive" shouldnt be the only fun you have at your age. I guess this anxiety of suicide-bombers has caused bars and clubs to be empty!

Big, Bad Battle Tanks Four of the world's most formidable tanks -- representing the UK, France, Germany, and the US -- are put to the test. From Britain, the Challenger 2 tank has a 360-degree turning turret, an L30 gun that can fire eight rounds -- ammunition that includes armor piercing depleted uranium shells -- in 45 seconds. With a price tag of $5.5 million, and its relatively short attack range of 450 kilometers, FFM gives it an overall rating of six (out of 10). Next up, from France, it's the Leclerc. While it's the only tank with an automatic loader in our test, it's still the slowest, firing at only six rounds per minute. Lighter and faster than the others, the Leclerc has a top speed of 75 kilometers per hour, and has a good attack range of 550 kilometers. The $7 million ticket, however, means an overall FFM rating of three. The Germans bring us the Leopard 2 battle tank, a relative bargain at $4.5 million. The Leopard 2 is equipped with a long L55 firing gun, and can travel at a top speed of 72 kilometers per hour. It's also built with third-generation composite armor, which should help a crew of four survive a hostile encounter. The Leopard 2 gets an FFM rating of three. Weighing in at 70 tons from the US, is the M1A2, a next-generation armored tank that helped the US win the Gulf War. At $5 million, it's not overly expensive. However, the parts are the most costly of the four tanks. The M1A2, which can travel at 72 kilometers per hour, is equipped with three machine guns and two smoke grenade launchers to mask it from enemy thermal imaging devices, and its cannons can fire three rounds in 12 seconds for a quick pounding. All in all, it garners a five FFM rating. A rating of three, for a german masterpiece? How rude! Didnt they consider that the new Leopard 2A6? Well we say that "lonely wolfes die quickly, I guess this is why we prefer to produce lots of rubish can-tanks than one perfect one! (it wasnt a really good Site anyway)

if this thread would be a spice I guess it would be chilly (not just because it is hot but it creates a bad stomach and diaroeha (spelling,aehm?). Now, to create a mind map of this thread so far... Me said: not like Peanut butter, hard to get in germany anyway. (tried to get some attention) Someone said: If I would say to you know what is in my mind I would get banned (well now you got to weigh up the risks) Someone else said something funny about Euro-snobs Me thinks: Okay, there is an army runing towards me just because me not like peanut butter. I better show them I got guns too. The whole thing ends in a short war with fresh carrots and burgers flying from one end to the other (someone silly after 75 posts allready wants to become a mod and bann me! Â ) Tex fired his amunition, Albert fired his ammunition. Noone hurt! As allways both are happy with the result of the thread and go spamming in other corners of the forum. ) A mod comes too late an threatens us with a dessert of "banning us" just because we did a little bit of decent country-bashing (which is our daily bread in this forum. And now and then we deserve a break from all this intellectual stuff) and ... well actually it all started with a song...or was it..well I dont remember...does it matter? Â

No it makes sense (if there is no deep message hidden in your post! ) This would actually lead to the question whether or not the UK looses anything if they would join later. I have no clue about that and it would deserve further research!

IsthatyouJohnwayne. Nice typical response! This is exactly what you could read in "the mirror" after england decided not to follow europes path. Fine to see that 85% of your posting is only about stories of the past, it is so damm dusty all the stuff you write there. You think the economy gives a shit about you having defeated the evil evil germans half a century ago, you think they give a shit about the enormous incredible forum-bursting achievements of english people during the last decades. Even I give a shit! write a book about it! But a great share of your life and that of england is the health of its economy. Dont you get that? the UK is not Switzerland! You cant allow yourself to leave opportunities fade away just because of pride. What you gonna tell me, that the European union is gonna have a terrible impact on all countries participating? That England would have to accept people ruling over them and you would loose you souvereignity? (what is the trouble with that, so far I only see a policitcal iceage in the UK, what can get worse?) No, wait, you gonna tell me again this history bla bla about you dont want to work with someone that killed several million jews and tried to invade you, right? Fine, but that is damm childish and I think you would start to cry once you would see how many major private shoreholders of english companies are spanish, germans, french and italians. That must be terrible for you, but economy rules and doesnt respect your history, that must be frustrating! (oh yeah and the germans want to conquer england through the stock market right). Go home and read a book about the french eating frog-legs and german girls licking their armpit-hair.

Well, we eat...butter! And then we put something on top of the butter, such as cheese or ham. Extraordinary isnt it. Now if you give me this shit that we feel superior and stuff and "if I would say what is in my mind right now I would get banned" well then I guess you have set the direction this discussion is going. It is nothing new that most americans have underdeveloped sensitivity is terms of taste. This occurs only if you are brought up with only a limited variety of tastes (experiences) and so you stick to extremes e.g. sweet or fatty, since those are the major ones. I could ask you guys about the most spectacular cheeses and spanish hams in the world and you would probably think I talk about .... well who cares. YOu call it arrogant, I call it the willingness to learn. I tasted the typical american peanut butter but you basically never tried a Gryere or Reblechon and you would probably puke from a Roquefort. When you got to the butcher you only know to chose between dried and cooked hams, dont you! You wouldnt know a single fxxxcking name of one of those hams. Yes we most of us call your tastes childish and underdeveloped. Food is culture! Stick to your peanut butter I give a shit (indeed) I just wanted to tell you that it is very uncommon here. No implication or message between the lines. But if you ask me so politely..I cant resist. "Pizza, burger, pizza, burger, hot mexican stuff like taccos and stuff, burger, monster-vegetarian sandwich, fruit-loops, peanut butter, californian red whine (they are getting really a lot better now though), spare ribs, 2kg steak, grilled Marshmellows, chinese stuff like spring roles and pork sweet and sour. Damm it, is that your food culture? Yes I am arrogant indeed!

I have to admit I only tried peanut butter once in my life, I was around 16 or so. It was kind of very odd and so I didnt try it again! Anyway, if you are not really really looking for it in Germany, you wont find peanut butter not be offered a peanut-butter pan-cake or so!

Loooooooooooooooooollll with 7.5 Kb/sec this is gona take me 8 hours!

Far from it, I HATE the idea of a united europe, as do most people I know, not fear it. The main problem is that most european countries, shit most countrys full stop, don't like Britain. Going right back through history no-one liked us, mostly because we went around taking over and imposing our will on everyone, the Americans have filled this void. This probably isn't the only reason but is most likely a huge part of it. The french still refuse to buy our beef, which is against european law by the way. The trouble with a united europe is that Britain would lose it's identity as we will all become 'European'. Not something an of us want to see. Except perhaps for those middle-class New Labour types. They don't care what country they live in so long as they can live their middle-class lifestyles. We've already seen a huge proportion of our population lose their sense of pride for their country, why should we then see our entire way of life destroyed to please a bunch of up-their-arse middle-class types?<span id='postcolor'> Seriously, Shabadu, what you are saying there may sound slightly silly to other europeans. "Hating" you? What the hell are you talking about. "Hating" and "national pride" are silly lowest "working class" expressions. We are not talking about national identity here we are talking about "bread for living"! You are not selling your english soul when participating in a european community. How can a nation that has travelled the whole world be so afraid now of what surrounds them? Turning from an adventurous risktaking nation to a defensive even isolative one? Medium intelligent people in Europe dont hate english people, because you are not to blame for what has happened in the past. On the other hand you have also no direct reason to be proud of the glorious milestones in the british past (pride is important though to make sure something glorious doesnt get forgotten, that is for sure)! So where are the achievements of your generation? I have to admit I havent seen one! Or do you always want to talk about your grandfather and your grand grandfather, like little schoolchildren always show off with their elderly brothers? I am proud that my generation is the one uniting europe whereas the generation of my grandfather was the one destroying it. Now who will have the reason to be proud? And this pride will not be covered with dust of the past since this european cooperation will be taking place in my lifetime. Dont you people take any challenges anymore? Of course a lot of things can go wrong with the european union. But if not too much turns out to be wrong it will be "best" solution for our future. If you say there are too many risks involved, do your share to minimise those! The first one would be to take a look around in europe and get an authentic impression of what people really think about england. Cause I think the biggest but most ridiculous risk right now is the ignorant stuff we heard from our grandparents about the "krauts" and "frenchies"! If this is stuck in your brain then you really must thing the european union is the new german way of conquering the world and my name is Adolf!

This is an account of the critical days leading up to the killings: 6-8 July 1995 Bosnian Serb forces had laid siege to the Srebrenica enclave, where tens of thousands of civilians had taken refuge from earlier Serb offensives in north-eastern Bosnia. They were under the protection of about 600 lightly armed Dutch infantry forces. Fuel was running out and no fresh food had been brought into the enclave since May.  Serb forces began shelling Srebrenica. Bosnian Muslim fighters in the town asked for the return of weapons they had surrendered to the peacekeepers but their request was refused. The Dutch commander called UN Headquarters in Sarajevo asking for "close air support" after shells and rockets landed close to refugee centres and observation posts manned by peacekeepers. 9 July 1995 The Bosnian Serbs stepped up their shelling and thousands of refugees fled to the town from southern camps ahead of advancing Serbs, who attacked Dutch observation posts, taking about 30 soldiers hostage. Srebrenica facts  Muslim enclave in Serb-held territory: 1991 Population /75% Muslim / 25% Serb Declared safe area in April 1993  UN commander Morillon arrived in March 1993 and said: "I will never abandon you"  Serb offensive  Bosnian Serb army and paramilitaries massed in April 1995 including: Drina Wolves Seselj's Chetniks Arkan's Tigers  One peacekeeper was fatally wounded when Bosnian Muslims fired on retreating Dutch troops. 10 July 1995 Dutch Commander Colonel Karremans filed a request for UN air support after the Bosnian Serbs shelled Dutch positions. UN Commander General Janvier initially refused, but agreed after another request from the colonel. Serb attacks stopped before the planes arrived and strikes were postponed. Some 4,000 refugees were in the town by the evening and there was panic on the streets. Large crowds were gathered around the Dutch positions. The Dutch commander told town leaders that Nato planes would launch massive air attacks against the Serbs if they had not withdrawn from the safe area by 0600 the following morning. 11 July 1995 The Serb forces did not withdraw, but at 0900 Colonel Karremans received word from Sarajevo that his request for close air support had been submitted on the wrong form. At 1030, the re-submitted request reached General Janvier, but Nato planes had to return to base in Italy to refuel after being airborne since 0600.  UN air power was unable to save the safe area By midday, more than 20,000 refugees - mostly women, children and the infirm - fled to the main Dutch base at Potocari. At 1430, two Dutch F-16 Fighters dropped two bombs on Serb positions surrounding Srebrenica. The Serbs responded with a threat to kill their Dutch hostages and shell refugees, causing the suspension of further strikes. The Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic entered Srebrenica two hours later, accompanied by Serb camera crews. In the evening, General Mladic summoned Colonel Karremans to a meeting at which he delivered an ultimatum that the Muslims must hand over their weapons to guarantee their lives. 12 July 1995 Buses arrived to take women and children to Muslim territory, while the Serbs begin separating out all men from age 12 to 77 for "interrogation for suspected war crimes".  Mladic: Offered Muslims freedom if they surrendered arms It is estimated that 23,000 women and children were deported in the next 30 hours. Hundreds of men were held in trucks and warehouses. About 15,000 Bosnian Muslim fighters had attempted to escape from Srebrenica overnight and were shelled as they fled through the mountains. 13 July 1995 The first killings of unarmed Muslims took place in a warehouse in the nearby village of Kravica. Peacekeepers handed over about 5,000 Muslims who had been sheltering at the Dutch base at Potocari. In return, the Bosnian Serbs released 14 Dutch peacekeepers who had been held at the Nova Kasaba base. 16 July 1995 Early reports of massacres emerged as the first survivors of the long march from Srebrenica began to arrive in Muslim-held territory. Following negotiations between the UN and the Bosnian Serbs, the Dutch were at last permitted to leave Srebrenica, leaving behind weapons, food and medical supplies. In the five days after Bosnian Serb forces overran Srebrenica, more than 7,000 Muslim men are thought to have been killed. Now this is from the BBC-NEWS net so it is written in a very "cool" way. But I can show you other "The reason for the fall of Srebrenica is to be found in the lack of strong political will to intervene - by France, Britain, the United States and the Bosnian authorities in Sarajevo themselves," the report concluded. It said a French commander, General Bernard Janvier, committed a "manifest error of judgment" by refusing to sanction air strikes against Serbs to stop them taking control of Srebrenica, but said no evidence had been found that he had deliberately helped them. At the time, Gen Janvier's reluctance to use air power brought him into conflict with the British commander of United Nations forces in Bosnia, General Rupert Smith. Gen Smith, who was in favour of taking a much tougher line with the Serbs, was so furious after being overruled by the UN special representative to the region, Yasushi Akashi, that he took a leave of absence. The internet is full with this stuff! I dont hold the french fully responsible for it, but they take a certain share in this error, one which did cost several THOUSAND lives.

"Mais ca va au chalet ou bien?" Swiss response Ahem, may I say what my point of view is? " "NO, shut up Albert, go and leave!" The USA is a better partner for the UK in basically any case. The USA is very determined in their political action and usually more flexible and speedy in their action. In terms of military I doubt there is anyone in the world willing to attack you if you are US's best friend. Especially since us europeans need to discuss for 5643 months before helping a friend The best embarassing example is the genocide of Srebrenica: Dutch armed forces cant do anything against the Jugoslaw army and even have to pay the buses for the 5000 people being deported to their execution. Sorry Ran to say this but this time it was especially the french that boykotted the war against Jugoslawia due to their very old relation with the Serb-people. Do you think that would have happened if the USA would have been there instead of the dutch? I doubt it! But since the UK are not located near the US but the European mainland the whole US-issue is nonesense. There is no other alternative: either alone or with europe. We are not talking about wars here cause I think the USA is willing to support most of us western nation, whether you are  located in Europe or on an island. You take this whole discussion as if England joining Europe would mean some kind of merger. B.S.! We are not talking about anything else than making our markets and politics compatible. In other words it is nothing else than several computer producers agreeing to implement certain standards to facilitate the process (and favour the consumer). Nothing else, you could still smash german soccer fans, you could still enjoy a british symbol on your coins. Not much would be lost! And corresponding to the size of the UK you would get quite a lot of votes in the european parliament. Enough to pressure those things you really want to keep your way! And about German military. We got some good people and some good equipment. BUT IN GENERAL GERMANy SUCKS! Not because of the soldiers, not because of the training but because the german people in general have turned into total cowards: Ideological peace-keepers that dont understand that war can sometimes bring peace. What can a few good men do if the civillian majority doesnt let them do the work they are prepared for? A few decades ago the germans lost millions of soldiers and all thought it is for a good thing and now noone wants to risk a single life for a REALLY good thing. This great amount of loosers in our nation (especially imported from East germany) turns our country into a mudhole. And yes, I am happy to leave! (frustrations? Me? YES, OUR POLITICANS SUCK!
