    More Photos Surface in Widening German Skull Scand

    They've misspelled CSAR . But quite a stupid thing on their part to do such a thing AND then photograph it AND then put it on the net for ALL to see. Do these guys deliberately pose and take these pics to stir shit up? I mean they know the backlash from such images is bound to come up on them and further destabilize the region. So why bother do it? If you wanna mess with bones to de-sensitize yourself or whatever from the grueling war then do it privately .... whats the problem in doing it privately? Or keeping the pics private. I think all soldiers should have their camera and net access ceased , judging by how much crap the media makes out of this and the endless stupid debates its gonna spawn and further incense and icnrease fundamentalistic idiots.

    Schumacher announces retirement!

    After winning the Italian GP schumi announced in the televised conference that he will retire. Sad day for F1 , he was such a good and competitive driver. I know i will miss him and so will many other people. Have been watching him since i first began watching F1 and his days at benetton williams. I dont know why he wont do just one more season , hes still got IT ... he can win and drive equally well or better then anyone at the moment. I guess it was more of a decision influenced by his family and his personal life since hes got ferrari wanting him and he can still drive competitevly. Hes got more records then anyone in F1. He could have gone on and made it a 100 GP wins if he probably stayed for one more season , something i was hoping for. Still he will remain as the greatest F1 driver of this generation. F1 next season will not be the same without him. Viva la Schumi!

    The Campaign

    I disagree. How many quality usermade campaigns for OFP did we have? Retaliation, FDF stuff and maybe CSLA2 campaign (didn't like it personally, 2 hour intro movies ftl). That's all, so let's hope BIS makes a quality product. After all, they haven't disappointed us before. Than you didn't play many campaigns... ^^ Indeed.

    Schumacher announces retirement!

    That video shows Hill acting cocky and deliberately taking the inside line even when schumacher whos infront IS taking it to defend his position. Overall the mistake can be blamed on BOTH the drivers not ONE alone. Yeah whatever i cant spell finnish . The maneouver was still good enough , squeezing a car in such a narrow place when raikkonen was blocking it was a risky move ... going at 200mph +. I say excellent overtaking there , not something you see everyday even in F1.

    What the hell . You guys think that score is grounds enough to take the HDD back for a refund or exchange for another?

    Oh i had 2 WD HDD's before , now i have 1 seagate and 1 wd hdd , the seagate being the primary. Could it be possible that they dont agree with each other or the layout and hence having problems? @Eizei: I'll try the speedfan thing and see what it reports. Ok did it and this is what it says: Is this bad? I mean its a brand new drive yet the final scores are in 69%?? Plus the error seek rate is below par .

    I am back here again with a few problems and questions . Recently my Western Digital HDD failed , the bios readout kept saying SMART status failed ... i was able to logon to windows but everything was sluggish and then just simply stopped working , so i went out and bought a new Seagate Barracuda HDD (80 GB) , now with this new HDD i still am getting random freezes which I KNOW are associated with HDD as the same HDD stopping sound keep coming the way they did with my old WD. According to the retailers the 'media' on my WD failed. Now i dont know what that exactlymeans? I tried checking in Seagates website and used the online HDD diagnostic tools , but the tests came out fine , however my HDD is still freezing randomly and slowing the PC. I wanna know whats up here , is it really a HDD problem or HDD cable problem , whats up? I've already lost all my data on my old WD HDD which has been quite a bugger. And now i dont feel comfortable in transfering my data on this new HDD fearing it'll die aswell. This is a new HDD so why is it acting in such a way? Pretty similiar to the way my WD HDD went down.

    Schumacher announces retirement!

    What a final drive by schumi in Brazil. From 10th to 6th and the puncture sending him to the back of the grid ... and from 19th to 4th ... wow. That move on Raikonnen before the Senna S was superb aswell. If only the Brazilian GP had 10 more laps , i know he'd have won it.

    Online Distribution System - Confirmed

    This is definitely going to hurt my chances of getting ArmA quick. Still i'll get it one way or the other. However we cant ignore that this WILL hurt ArmA's sale in countries where they arent being distributed physically. Since most of us who got OFP before were 15/16 or near it , not many of us had access to credit cards or any experience with online buying. Its pretty much the same today , theres no better advertisement of a game then it sitting right on the shelf. Many of us got the game by chance and got hooked on it , plenty will now be deprived of that chance if the game is distributed online ONLY in such a big market as the US.

    If it uses your account's temp-folder you can move this folder to a different partition. [*]Right-click my computer and select properties [*]Go to Advanced and select Environment Variables [*]Select the line that reads the path for TEMP and click edit [*]Replace path (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp) to something like D:\TEMP or wherever you want the TEMP-folder to reside. Many thanks , that helped. I found another way out aswell , the installer was a rar archive too .. all it needed was to be right clicked and extracted elsewhere .

    I need help guys , i have run in to one of those commonly frustrating problems that you get with extracting installers for games  . I d/lded AA 2.7 and the stupid installer (2.5Gb) has decided to extract data to elsewhere and then START the installation process ... so it picks C/temp folder as a default location to extract data even though my C drive only has 1.8 Gb free space , the installer needs more then 2.3 or so i assume judging by the amount of bar the extracter shows. So what do i do to get myself out of this **** ing mess? I already had to move a lot of stuff from C to other drives in order to make this much space (1.8) and still it isnt enough. What do i do? Is their a workaround ? I wanna kill those people who designed these installers  . P.S: Oh and on my other partitions i got loads of space , there IS a browse to another location tab in the installer but its locked.

    Schumacher announces retirement!

    All controversial decisions aside , he DOES drive well and aggressively and thats what matters most. Look at his brother a complete opposite of him when it comes to over taking and pushing it to the limit. What formula 1 needs is more aggressive and skilled drivers like him. And seeing how MANY races hes raced , its no surprise if hes messed a few of them. No one can regard the rest as fluke or based on cheat , the guy had talent and driving abilities most dont have in F1 at present.

    FlashNews 100 Thread

    Why is everyone so hyped up over this flashnews? Placebo's already said it isnt ArmA related and neither its gonna be a demo. I dont see anything else which should be of soo interest that everyone here and in the arma forum are just dying for this. For all we know placebo might just do what he does in the FN , recap the weekly OFP related news and guess what it'll also contain the desperation of this thread , maybe THATS the news .

    Football World Cup 2006 in Germany

    Still he shouldnt have lost his temper on the field. Thats not the place to do that. he should have let it go. The italian probably said it deliberately to provoke him. During the whole WC italy and portugal have been the least impressive when it comes to fair play .

    Football World Cup 2006 in Germany

    Wth .... why did Zidane do that . This was also the most boring final probably. There never was any flow to the game , the italians were just happy to sit back while french attacking never had any real substance in their attacks.

    Revolt 1998 Released!

    I guess i'll post it there too maybe someone might pick it up there and help me. But so far this hasnt been an issue with me in anyother mission using the same addons , thats why i am sticking to this thread as it seems the addon combination with the campaign is the culprit here.

    Revolt 1998 Released!

    I've loaded thrice as much addons before and no problems occur. I run missions other then this with the same addons loaded and they dont give me this error. And i DID also try only loading the specific addons but i still got that error. I sense a faulty addon or something in the campaign clashing with it .

    Revolt 1998 Released!

    Everytime i run this campaign i get booted from OFP after the campaigns first mission loads with an error saying something about the memory. http://aycu33.webshots.com/image....MG] I am running OFP with nomap command , so what gives?

    Football World Cup 2006 in Germany

    Ok so all my favourites have been knocked out now . It might be deja vu all over again in terms of who plays in the final except this time Germany wins me thinks due to home advantage.

    So you have the same card and fan as me? Btw i managed to get in 3 heat sinks on out of 4 , ones at a bit odd angle though. Ones left open. I tried the card now and it works very well. Even when playing CoD2 and all other gfx intensive games the temp only goes in low 40's. Previously it went to high 40's.

    It started with my GPU fan burning .

    PC Discussion Thread - All PC related in here.

    Ok back to my replacement fan advise . I got myself the Zalman as you guys advised and installed it on the GPU , however there have been issues i ran in to on the installation. The damn heat sinks and the large ass Zalman fan dont fit in together on the 6600GT AGP version. As this blog by a guy states the model just doesnt allow heat sinks and fan together so he opted for the fan only way , i wanna know if this is safe and worth risking , or will i burn off my ram since the card will be used often and the reason why the original fan burned off according to the folks from where i got it was the card had seen too many hours. Zalman vu700 issues So what do i do? Try and squeeze the heat sinks on someway or the other or is it safe just leaving them aircooled?

    Yes your right the vision would be very oddly placed in between the 2-4 monitor setup. 3 is better for gaming. 5 would be pretty good aswell , if you can twist the monitors around your seat so you have to look left and right physically yourself to see whats going on in the field .
