Nuke yourself then. USA had a lot more connections to Bin Laden than Iraq ever had....business connections, private connections and governmental connections. All fulfilled. Ask your president, or put him to jail. When will it get into your heads that Bin Laden and Saddam hated each other while the Bushés are special friend to the Laden family for a very long time, who actively finance Bin Laden and DO have contact to him as a wedding video clearly shows. Funny...the guy on the video is in big business with the Bush family and financed Bush´s first oil company... Bullshit. Where have you been when Clinton was running the USA ? Bals, This guy is absolutely right. Schroeder, Fischer and Co have their own past. In the early sixties untill the mid eighties most of them participated in leftwing streams, they refused the capitalist way of americans, they protested against the american vietnam agression and the nukes that were once stationed in germany. But besides those noble attitudes many of them were known to be pretty anti-american during their rebellious days (logical consequence if you demonstrate all day) and judging from the behaviour today I must say, that they still are anti-american. Or maybe they arent, but they definetly use it to impress voters. And many of their voters were active left-wingers during the student-movements of the 70ies (remember the little comparison Bush=Hitler? Kind of embarassing for a german politician, but hey, the SPD was trying to earn votes, and the best way to do this was to talk about the evil americans)

Well the screenshots are not toooo promising I must say.

BS . I am reading every post. AND I AM WAITING!

tell me where the 911 comission drew connections between the wtc incident and iraq. that i wanna see. I REALY GET ANOYED BY THIS REPETITIVE NONESENSE... Do you people finally get it? There were no WMD in Iraq when the US attacked and there were no connections between Saddam and Al Quaida   Jesus christ... it is getting lame now... 2004 and people still defend slogans of 2002. Oh by the way... the Reichstag back in 1930ies was burned down by jews... terorist attack you know! And those jews had connections with the poles, the french, the russians and the UK so we were actually defending ourselves. suuuuure And Iraq is now a free country. The iraqis were actually all praying for the american soldiers to come and liberate them. 20.000 iraqis already have been liberated... liberated from their miserable muslim life.

With ME one of the secrets is to PROPERLY deinstall DirectX. I can happen that if you reboot twice it will put the old Driver back into place even though I told it too disable the driver. If your system is realy clean of DirectX then you shouldnt have a problem anymore installing it. Well at leas that was the case for me with older versions. I remember having the same problem when I bought COD for my old comp. Now I got XP and the problem is gone.

SV is absolutely right, OFP has limitations as far as frame-rates are concerned, but the processor will do a perfect job. Here is a Processor comparison, easy to understand. benchmark

That is a socket 775, there aren´t any 478 on 3.4 Ghz (am I wrong?). Im going to wait with my money untill pentium releases the 64 bit before I upgrade, just an advice. There are 3.4 for 478 small example

I use Pentium but futurewise we will have to change the Motherboard each time we want to upgrade our processor. I would suggest you use an Athlon (motherboard 939). If you buy a pentium see if you can get the new sockets 775. Athlon remains cheaper and faster... I hate to say it.

Sure Bals, you are definetly right about this. But you see I dont want to take weapons home with me... just a few tiny shooting experiences. On the other hand you are right that a rifle needs to be handled properly and for this one needs experience. It would just be silly if I would have to come to a shooting range regularly for a year to simply be able to shoot a good rifle once. How am I supposed to learn modding for OFP2 if I havent even shot a modern rifle yet (I shot with hunting rifles before). Shadow.. some good advises, thanks!

Hunting license? Speed up! A hunting license costs you more than 1 year of hard hard work. The examinations are terrifying!

for self esteeeeeeeeeem ? no, rather to compensate for my tiny manhood! Seriously, of course I know I should start with small handguns and they are fun anyway, I know that. But so far I have seen only sporting clubs with silly airrifles and small calibers. I dont see a reason to invest time into that if this is the max of weapon I would be able to get into contact with. For the sportsversion of the G36 you definetly need a high class WBK (waffenbesitzkarte).

So what did he do when he himself only mortally wounded the animal, allowing it to escape before he could fire a 2nd shot? Did he beat himself up with guilt? Perhaps he attended some hunters counselling sessions? Â Â I think you'll find "them toffs" are Brits too. Or maybe not...how are things down at the BNP social club these days anyway? Well strangely enough in germany this rarely happens cause it is considered as dishonourable (I think I said that already). Either you have the chance to pull the trigger or you dont. In case such a thing realy happens then you got to chase the wounded animal with the dogs untill you find it. May it be night or day. They dont do such things as lucky shots in germany. At least not in the generation of my grandpa (albert filled with pride)

You go and sign into a club, go there once a week and shoot away. It's really not that complicated. You'll have to go through some weapons safety training (for obvious reasons), but there's plenty of shooting. You need to know how to safely operate a weapon so that you don't by accident shoot others or yourself. That isn't so much to ask, is it? No, certainly not. I see the reason for that... but still, I am not too sure whether we are allowed to fire larger weapons in germany even with a license and a good sense of responsibility.

 Damn, was my intention that obvious... believe me, they realy dont pay me enough here, the money I earn is just not enough for my daily living... and now I got all those bills... So that means I will never be able to shoot a real weapon unless I travel abroad. Kind of silly to play OFP and to never have had the experience to fire an M16 or a G36. Hell I behaved well all my life and I am a peaceful peasant. Why dont they let me?

No, that was about the info I was looking for. I was wondering if I would ever have the chance in germany to fire a nice weapon without having to take all kinds of silly examinations. But I guess that is not possible.

Wow Wow Wow!

May I ask a silly question? How much working time did you have to invest to get that far...? And how many hours you think it will take to finish this addon? I want to know about the time one has to put into the creation of an addon.

It is like this "someone who was born with in Brooklyn, will always explain any misery or failure in his life with the words "it is because I was born there, and people dont like that"

Be careful there mister i DO care about religion its an important aspect in our lives and present world whether you like it or not the majority of the world does have religion (even though they dont follow it properly   now thats another thing though). And i am a Muslim , so are a few other members here like Python3 , Scorpio and i know a few others on other forums. So please look up before you speak ,weve had quite a few big debates in this forum for you to know that there are muslims here so please dont either act ignorant or push us out out of the census just because were low in numbers. Stop crying. My point was that I dont care which religions people belong to. I am religious too so dont give me this "you silly disrespective atheist" nonesense. DO YOU MIND ME NOT BEING INTERESTED IN THE RELIGION ISSUE? And do you mind if I still dont care which religion you belong to? It is of basically 0 importance to me! Thats what the census is for Mr Albert if you have any issues with religion dont vote for it in the poll , its as simple as that. Thats not my issue my issue is you DO NOT act ignorant to the fact that many OTHER people here on the forum and worldwide do take interest in religion and would love to have it in such a questionaire. And yes i do mind if someone deliberately knowingly trys to play dumb to a specific set of members on the forum. Thats my issue. You interest isnt the issue here , your interest is to expressed in the poll. Me said "other criteria more interesting to me". ("who cares") You said "how dare you to talk for everyone and why are you so ignorant" I wonder if you would have been pissed in the same way if I would have complained about the "driving license" criterium? I bet not! Then you would have said "Albert, I dont know about you but I am interesting in who has a Driving License".

That exactly  is the point! Work has to be worthy doing it! Germans would go to the fields and work there if they could feed their families with the money they earn. The state must create such jobs to reduce unemployment! Oh you can easily feed your families with the money you earn there. But why doing it if the unemployment support gives you basically the same money for NOT working! And only a minority of the unemployed males have a family to feed. Many of them just wait for the PERFECT job to be offered to them! (I know I sound pretty ignorant and extreme)

I was talking for myself.

lol, not realy. We are still FAAAR below the european average as far as right wing parties are concerned. Â Unlike in austria they are not ruling the state, and definetly not the country!

But the thing is that not everyone can climb the career ladder. A huge majority will always have to do the serving.. What would the world be without garbage men, cleaners, grocery store cashiers etc.. I know people who has gone from a poor family to the finest neighbourhoods of London so it's possible, but not for all. Anyone can do the lowest jobs without complains if they know that they wont be doing that for the rest of their healthy lives. Sure, I know that. Still, I did it for several months and worked in lower positions for more than 2 years. In the tourism sector you are obliged to climb that way in order to have respect of these people once you are in charge of them. The problem for those people is not so much the salary but the acknowledgement they earn during their work. In germany we reached somewhat american standards. People are embarrassed to take lower positions and think they are worth more just because they did this or that school or because their parents are architects or doctors. We look down on people working as potwashers or porters and have adopted the attitude: better no job than a job below my standards. This is totally wrong. We should have more respect of someone working in a lower position than of someone who studied, is unemployed and not willing to start at the bottom. And believe me, there are only very few people not being able to climb the career-ladder with the time. In a hotel you can rise from basically any position within a few years and reach a decent salary. The only problem is that basically NO german is willing to start at the bottom. They do it for 2 weeks, are embarrassed of what they do, and then leave again. The only one willing to do the job is probably a guy from India, but he wont be able to rise because he barely speaks the language. For someone with adequate language skills and little bit of common sense can rise from a pot washer to a General Manager within 15 years. That is no lie but pure experience. Once you start as a pot washer and impress superiors with your diligence, they offer you a 2 year traineeship and that is the first step into the management. So I disagree, if you are capable to speak your language, to think logically and to work hard you can easily rise from every position within 2 years. I ask those graduates that are currently unemployed: "have you tried it this way, so you can judge"? What makes you so sure that you deserve to work in a well payed position? If you dont intent to work in a scientific or academic position then university means nothing. That is the first thing an arrogant graduate needs to learn.

with lowest job I mean housekeeping (cleaning living rooms, & bathrooms). That is what I mean. Work needs to be done and money needs to be earned. I know many examples of people that started like this and reached good positions within few years. I was lucky that my parents were able to send me to a private university in switzerland but even if it this wouldnt have been the case I would have no problem starting down at the bottom of the food chain again... .
