I bet soon there are going to be computer-tuning shops as there are car-tuning stores. (I want to improve the sound of my computer-cooler, I want more base in it)

Bull. If the American's were the good guys, how do you equate that with the scene on the beach where the bunker has just been flamed. Burning figures are leaping from the slits and one GI screams "Let them burn?" or the shooting of the surrendering Germans soon after? It was written from an American viewpoint, for sure. but one of the most memorable scenes for me was the fight in the room, when the German got the upper hand, and was driving the knife into the American's chest. If what you claim had any truth, he would have been saying something like "Die, Yankee Jew." Now to me, who granted doesn't understand German, he sounded almost apologetic, saying Something like "It's ok, I'll make it quick." Can any German speakers help me on that? You read into it what you will; I suspect you expected to see US flag waving, so that's what stood out for you. You din't want to see the whole picture.<span id='postcolor'> Wardog, I dont know if you refer to my comment! But if you do then please understand that I said: the flag has the right to be shown in the film, no doubt! "let them burn!" I remember that! But I can assure you that noone was angry with that US-soldier in this sequence of the film. Simply because until then we had only seen US-soldiers die, we saw their arms and heads flying around and preachuing to god. And so instead of this statement (let them burn) creating disgust it created pure satisfaction for the spectators. "finally they get what they deserve!" (In the knife scene the German said something like: it is over soon.... Let it happen...just let it happen...it wont hurt...it is nearly over...tss tsss.. This scene was impressive and it was definetly a plus. I saying this not because the US-soldier died but because it was a very intensive..scene (without blood everywhere and digital-sound support)) Sticky bomb"? Yeah right, I dont know why they had to put a Tiger-Tank into that film but that screwed up totaly any realiabilty. And in terms of realism I think we do not have to discuss here, that the film was total nonesense. A greater budget, Tom Hanks and Dolby Surround do not improve autenticity. read it, I know it is long, but it is funny This Germans must have done something wrong, maybe that´s why they lost the war. If they are running through a street, where an US heroe bumbs them off with his rifle from above, those Germans don´t take cover. Not at all: only more and more are running up. All of them never ask, why so much scrap and kindling is laying in this street and all of them must have a spasm in their neck so that they never look above. We are astonished to see, that only a German tank is looking this way at the end of the movie. To place its blast into the tower of the church it must have used an angle of fire at this distance, which is not possible for a tank cannon and its long backdraft. German hand grenades are unperilous if you are sitting in a room, so we learn from the movie. If such German potatoe mashers are dropping from a whole in the wall delicously into the lap of an US heroe, he simply throws them back and finishes the enemy before the house to dozens. From the guideline of the former Arms Office of the German Wehrmacht we learn that the "Stielhandgranate 24", the famous potatoe masher, like other German models had an ingnition delay of 3.5 seconds. Including one second reaction time, such US heroe acrobatics are rather unbelievable. This movie maybe used a special production of them, coming from Hollywood´s factories, where the attention to details sometimes is low and where security for own people is the highest value. The German Tiger Tank had been very well known for his dangerousness for opponents. Its copy in this movie, based on a Russian T34 vainly tries to be aware of authentic shape near to the original. Totally different from the Russian vehicle, the Tiger had conspicuous cornered edges. With such German tanks there really had happened movie- like actions in France, which hadn´t been granted to US heroes all over Europe in war reality. So this has to be made up by movies today. The US soldiers in reality had no good opinion of their own tanks. They for example ironically called their "Sherman" as "Ronson" because of the famous advertising of this lighter brand in those times "always burns". Is it possible, that such movie productions, like the one of Spielberg, are supposed to provide compensation for grieved US national pride? But such real Tigers are too dangerous and could disgruntle US American audience. So we see in the movie the special Spielberg version of them. A lot of times they are standing still, probably honestly waiting for their US heroe. Their airlock at the top of the tower is always open to the French country smell. So, smart and whistling, US heroe finally arrives to place his blasting present at the tank´s flank instead of throwing it inside from the top. It is to secure the reality nimbus and suspension of the movie, that smart US heroe, thanks to his surprise present scatters himself in the air with light purple shreds. Due to an so far unknown German fault in construction and two meanwhile well known US heroes, it is possible to destroy the caterpillar track of a Tiger by placing two small children crackers at the wheels. This has never been heared before, but, you know, US heroes are coming from the country of the unpossible unlimiteness.  What a luck, that the German tank crews in this movie always forget that their Tiger has a lot of fighting hatches with overlapping shooting angles. So they never get the idea to shoot from inside on the US heroes, which are dancing around outside like Indians around the stake. A thirty years old officer from German Oberpfalz drove at the 13th of June 1944 around 7 o´clock in the morning at the invasion front along the N 175 near Villers Bockage. Together with some companions and such a Tiger Tank he attacked there all alone a whole British tank brigade. The lonely Tiger was able to destroy within a few minutes thirty-six enemy vehicles by driving on the passing lane along the row, shooting them. This is confirmed by Allied authorities. Even after stopped by hits of a British anti- tank cannon, the vehicle remained in such a shape, that the crew could escape from the wreck unharmed and could return to the own lines. If we would have known about the "sticky bomb" earlier, this tank would have never been a threat!"  It must be a special favor of the gods and an unforgettable experience to be an US heroe. This will impressively be shown soon again by comparable movies, whose producers think, that you and all other audience are stupid enough to pay money for that. Will Steven leave his dinos in Jurassic Parc to be again with the party ? We are waiting in rapt attention !

I am very happy that this discussion started: i never wanted to start it myself cause that could have made the wrong impression. I must say I was hurt by the film! I watched it in Switzerland in English, so there were many students from abroad sitting next to me. I wasnt hurt by the american flag, in contrary, lets not forget that those soldiers realy died for humanity. But when a film becomes so terribly 100% realistic as "Private Ryan" that you actually feel you are on the battlefield and then you see the Wehrmacht-soldiers (or Nazis as you call them all) portrayed as inhumane rats, then this hurts. Cause you know, since everything is so realistic in this film, the people that watch it will believe everything they see and keep it as "authenticity" in their minds for eternity. It didnt hurt my patriotism, but my sense of recognition for all those that I have seen on old pictures from my Grandma and that have died in that war. I wouldnt have minded to see the Germans as louzy fighters (even though after years of battle you are no longer a green-horn), but I do not like them to be shown as silent killer-machines, Frankenstein-bavarians, 2m tall, skinny head and the eyes full of hate. Do you realy believe that? Do you realy believe that the same German that was fighting in the Normandie would have also done his job in Ausschwitz? Do you realy think that a German soldier after years of war, after having received many letters about friends and brothers that have died he would still have the power to jump around with a super-theatralic performance and cry: dont kill me, dont kill me? He wouldnt have had more power than to simply whine it! "i am not guilty, I am not guilty!" he continues. Do you realy believe someone in war would cry that! Shooting in war is allowed and noone ever apologised for it! how ridiculous! And then after having gotten a second chance from the US soldier he returns cause he is as evil as he is cowardly. Thanks god all Germans die like broken Light-bulbs! When this nice stereotyped german got shot in the end people were cheering! Is that the purpose of an anti-war film? That people cheer in the end? Maybe I have  a different perception there. I just want to thank Mr. Spielberg for stereotyping all Germans once again so even upcoming generations know that in 1945 any German (even those soldiers that were 14 years old) were born with hate, the desire to kill jews, 2m tall and no sense of pride, basically equal to trash or animals. War is terrible, not because there is blood everywhere and legs and heads flying around but simply because you see "humans" die and "generations being wiped out". (if you are talking about the Geneva convention in relation to WWII than you havent understood the brutality of that war and its weapons. Anyway the Geneva convention was held August 1949, so years after) A short dry but funny comment on realism of PRIVATE RYAN

Why did you lock it so fast. Give us some time to respond. Maybe he expected that in a forum of a military game he only finds war-maniacs, extremists and german Neo-Nazis (and wankers! ). Well he found nothing like that (or maybe the wankers ). Â But I would have given him a nice rethoric kick into the bud (how do you spell that). Good evening!

But I have experienced that you hardly need more than 364MB. So what is the deal about having 500MB?

On the Autobahn there are parts where there is no speed-limit. But of course there are also parts where you need to go 130 Km/h or even less. Now we got the stupid socialist parties ruling in Germany and they dont only ruin the country they also want to give us a speed-limit. Â

the A-socket is obsolete, so you guys have to buy a new motherboard too before you can upgrade. But me with my Pentium, I can at least keep my RAM and this probably for the next years while upgrading my computer. Expensive PC-800 but fast enough not to slow down any processor.

Cold fusion: mhhh do you realy believe in its applicability? The two "scientists" Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischman claim to have done it (yeah right), they got kicked out from their university and now continue reasearch on it, financed by a japanese car-company. Now a Fortune 500 company has taken their research and made a patent of 1Mio $(not that much). Whether the cold-fusion works yet or will never is not proven yet! Einstein invented (found out) about the idea of fusion which was around 1920. Believe it or not but there is no great difference between: laser-fusion, thermo-nuclear-fusion, cold fusion ... only the approach is different. Some are dynamic(shoot two atomic kernels at each other), as for example the thermo-nuclear fusion and some (or better one so far) is static (subsitute one atom by a heavier Myon) such as the cold fusion. So I must agree that I assume Albert Einstein to have been the first brain thinking into this direction.

Bullshit scooby. Anyway, Wobble dont wait for the police cause it is no longer realy their business. I assume that due to the fact that nothing has happened, nor that you speed can be proven (whatever it might have been), that now it has become private law. The police however only acts on behalf of public law. What this guy can do however is to tell his lawyer that his kid hurt himself while it fell from the bike. And he can ask his neighbours to witness that you drove too fast. The duty of parents to watch their kids is a point against the guy (but would be a different case, but not an excuse for you. A driver cannot expect reasonable behaviour from a child. But hey..as long as you are sure that you didnt drive far tooooo fast (so nobody can prove it) you got absolutely nothing to fear. (you must understand the father a little bit, as a male we often mix up anger with anxiety! He must have been very afraid something might have happened to his kid)

Oh yeah! point at Europeans if you want! But it was also europeans that found out about the refs and stopped the corruption issue. Well, corruption is not only where you see it. I wonder how much sports-business is corrupted elsewhere in the world. I bet in the countries where sportsmen are paid most! Points at......mmmmmhhhh

Yeah, but those girls can kick your a s s!

Someone in my school had to fight with the complications that come along with such a "disease". Well it wasnt realy a problem cause we knew about it and noone realy was astonished by his sudden reactions. But of course in public he had problems, e.g. in the bus, for him that was the worst time of the day (I wonder why his parents didnt bring him to school). He hated it, he hated it to wait at the bus-stop and the more people looked at him the more he got nervous and the heavier his "reactions" were. He finally found a friend who already was 18 and willing to give him a lift every morning. never seen him happier about something than on that day. The one and mayor problem for him was, that he could not talk to others which had the same problem. he told us that when two people with this syndrom meet then it is possible that they copy "reactions" from each other. And he told us, that if we would make fun of some of his "reactions" now and then in a friendly manner then this would give him a little release. Whether you believe it or not, It realy did.

"toblerones", that is a funky name for a swiss.
