Seriously, start a nuclear war over some islands that have more sheep than people on them? Mitterrand got scared way too easily or there is something I do not know. Maybe she had PMS at the particular time? *ducks*

The japanese don't have the means to invade anything anymore. Good enough? You know, it's not like some clause on a paper is going to stop them from doing bad things.

Take a look at this formerly classified 1995 information report regarding Saddam's use of WP chemical weapons: (any emphasis mine) http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/declass....1r.html The irony is overwhelming.

We must be playing different games then since I have not seen those in OFP.

Or just give the boot for the people thick enough not to listen to their CO.

Bah, why stare BMPs in museums if you can ride them and do your compulsory service at the same time. Then again being 186cm tall I can pretty much forget about any older soviet AFVs..

Well, this thread was going to a hell in a handbasket anyway so I just decided to speed up the inevitable.

Damnit, I don't want to venture too far into religion here. Â I believe that God created the world. Â During his creation, he used similar designs for his creation because all of creation would be breathing the same air, perform similar life functions, live under the same conditions (generally), and feed upon similar foods. Â When a unique feature was required, it was added to the design. Quite lazy (and sort of dumb) of something that is supposed to be omnipotent. If you are claiming that god made us some kind of "improved" model are'nt you just claiming evolution in some other way? Goose bumps don't do shit without some proper fur cover. Not to mention their secondary function is to raise fur in order to scare other animals (which of course does not work with your tender 2mm hair cover) Nails and head hair maybe but I really don't see why would any kind of intelligent designer start including torso third eyelids and goosebumps. You can't really observe something like continent shifts, certain astronomical phenomenom or ancient volcano eruptions in experiments but you can observe their tracks in nature, just like evolution. Of course Lucy's skull did'nt resemble a human's one. She was a one of those transitional forms you keep talking about, remember? It was considered remarkable because it was noted that she was the first possibly bipedal ancestor that didn't have a big skull. Her bone structure was much more suited for bipedal operation and her teeth resembled human ones closely. Yes I do, but it can be done, and I find it very hard to believe that not a single transitional form was saved.Yes I do, but it can be done, and I find it very hard to believe that not a single transitional form was saved. http://www.theistic-evolution.com/pages5455.jpg (Times 8/1999)

For the same reason you cannot prove that there are no 50 omnipotent invisible men behind me masturbating to a picture of Mao Zedong. Oh joy.

Wisdom teeth, hair, "goose bumps", plica semilunaris (the remnant of the third eyelid), coccyx "tail bone", vermiform appendix, the almost disturbing similarity of human fetuses and other fetuses of other animals, and nails seem useless yet found in our more distant relatives that "just happen" to share 96-99% of our DNA. Hell, we share 50% of our DNA with yeast. Do you realize how painful process fossil forming is? When you consider the rather limited populations of our ancestors it's a small wonder to find one of their remains. Piltdown man and Nebraska man were "discovered" when verifying archeologic evidence was much more difficult. Just because there were couple of fakes almost 100 years ago it does'nt prove anything. I have yet to see any half-credible source call Lucy (or any of the other countless fossils of our ancestors) a fake. Care to elaborate or are you just pulling this stuff out of your ass? So are theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, atoms, causes of gravitation and many others. Yet I dont see this same scientific equivalent of "the wizard did it" applied anywhere else but in evolution by some people. Sure, it has some gaps but then again do lot of other theories. It is the most plausible of them all and you got to stick with the best option until something better comes along. (I call it the commander Adama doctrine )

Assuming evolution is true...which it is not (oh boy, I probably just opened another can of worms ) Another fine product of the Kansas education system I suppose. 30 years ago.

Oh why does EA have to obsess with this ricer/amis/townie/hiphop/whatever-culture? Can't we have something like original NFSses without the ridiclous storylines, "gangsta" music and awful actors?

If it ain't printing right now it ain't coming this year. I have yet to see anybody miss the chance of getting some free advertising by announcing the game going gold.

And the lack of ofp style view that has no attached crosshair (ie. I can turn my head to the right) is bothering me in other "realistic" games. Feels like somebody glued the gun to my head.

Uhh.. any of you guys eat any meat today?

Silly americans and their silly little planes..

http://www.drmenlo.com/lgfquiz/ This one is quite tough, I only got 6 right.

BIS really ought to learn the value of "when it's done" ESPECIALLY without a publisher.

If you are going AMD and want something modern for gaming there is no other option than AMD64 really. Unless you are planning to OC the shit out of some Barton 3000+ Software does'nt really matter as pretty much all of the benefits of those newer AMD processors can be gained without software support. Don't think there is too much difference performance-wise but since SATA will be the new standard I suggest to use it solely because PATA and SATA together is a real nightmare on some motherboards. HyperX is like twice as expensive as regular bulk memory and does not really offer any real benefits. Just use some quality brand or get some bulk stuff and memtest86 it for one night.

Guess I must be the only one who raises eyebrows upon seeing statements like "we will sell over 3 million copies if everyone tells a friend!"

Praising something you enjoyed to others is a scam ?? ?? What benefits would you get other than 3 more friends whom you can military-talk to and plan missions or addons together?/ It's a scam when people start having unrealistic expectations about everybody getting even one person to buy.

Those schemes are called pyramid scams for a reason..

I think OFP1 sold about 1-1.5 million copies, not millions..

Then you need to give your ISP the boot for doing such. Limited ISPs are still a minority.
