    UK Government censorship

    Interesting. What's next? Children playing with rocks = report their parents to social services? Because you know, rocks can injure a child. I don't have a methodology, I'm a civil engineer, not a psychologist. With education I don't mean to say we must educate children not to look at porn, I guess that would only make them more curious. There must be a way to educate parents though, but it's not accomplished by bombarding them with commercials and soap operas all the time. And yes, knowing how to block inappropriate websites would be a good start.

    UK Government censorship

    So basically UK government is saying that UK citizens are inapt an incompetent parents and the government will protect their children instead. How noble. How about educating the parents/children, did it ever cross their minds?

    Any interesting books to recommend?

    I'm currently reading "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart D. Ehrman. Pretty interesting.
  5. From walker's post: What part of this sentence (some of) you don't understand? It's yet to be tested. It's a hypothesis.
  6. That's philosophy, not science. Science is not searching for truth, it tries to explain world around us, and for that it uses scientific theories which describe the world with sufficient accuracy. Scientists test the accuracy of theories by experimentation. No scientific theory is 100% correct, let alone true. ;)

    Takedown: Red Sabre

    Well, that's really all we can do right now, hope that Takedown becomes a good tactical shooter. I certainly do. :)

    Bohemia Interactive @ E3 2013 - DISCUSSION

    To return briefly to medic system discussion, I don't think that FAK's are a problem, the problem is what they do. FAK is just that, a First Aid kit, it should only prevent bleeding out. After applying it, you shouldn't be able to run around like nothing happened. That's where medic comes in.

    Bohemia Interactive @ E3 2013 - DISCUSSION

    Yeah, I've read what neokika said. I understand the reasons, but that doesn't make me feel any better. :I I'd settle for draging/carrying though.

    Bohemia Interactive @ E3 2013 - DISCUSSION

    I too am dissapointed with medic system. One would think that BI would take Arma 2 medic system and make it better. :( Will we atleast be able to drag/carry wounded soldiers? I have saved my team mates lives this way many times in Arma 2.

    Takedown: Red Sabre

    I guess this is turning into Swat 4 troubleshooting thread. :o I finally got it to work. I underclocked my GFX card in EVGAprecisionX by about 5%. Works smoothly. :D I hope it works for you too. Sorry for OT.

    To be honest, I haven't listened to that album, because although Alison Krauss is a brilliant singer, I prefer when she's performing something closer to bluegrass. Something like this: Now this is more my cup of tea :)

    Yeah, I know what you mean, those are brilliant singers. Let's take another lady for example. :) dT8r2jN4fpM BTW, her name is not Krause, but Krauss.

    Takedown: Red Sabre

    Now that you mentioned it, Swat 4 has been acting up lately on my PC. It freezes, then I get black screen, then it comes back again. I performed a clean boot, and it works better then. I guess one or more services is messing up my Swat 4. :(

    Loreena McKennitt, as soon as I heard that song, I thought she's Irish. I looked her up on Wiki and it turns out she's Canadian of Irish and Scottish descent. Let me tell you, without Celtic music there would be no country music. Just listen to this. Hard times come again no more (with country legend Emmylou Harris) I just found this article: http://www.thebardofboston.com/2011/02/from-celtic-to-country-3-ways-irish-and.html

    ArmA 3 alpha not working?

    I just played through infantry showcase without the dreaded message, which was previously impossible. What I did: 1. I took out GFX card, the fan was full of thick dust, I cleaned that 2. For no particular reason I switched SATA HDD to another controller on MBO, when Win loaded it installed some shit, I don't remember what it was but it clearly wasn't installed 3. I installed EVGA precision and turned up fan speed to 60% so temps don't go over ~60 C (highest was 62 C) I don't know why it worked, but I hope it stays that way.

    ArmA 3 alpha not working?

    Yeah, it's one of those fixes I tried also. BTW, don't do what I did (format HDD) because it didn't work for me, I still get the display driver message. :(

    ArmA 3 alpha not working?

    Try launching Arma in windowed mode. If it loads you just have to press leftAlt+Enter to go to fullscreen. Is it "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" message? I had this problem and tried numerous "fixes", but they didn't work. Unfortunately, it took not only reinstalling Windows, but I formatted intire HDD and made new partitions from scratch. :( Before you do that though, try what Olee sugested first. ;)
  21. I guess he's talking about "Display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" error. Yeah, I get that too, often. Here is another thread describing something similar: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147520-ArmA-3-Black-Screen-Display-Drivers-Stopped-Working
  22. It's not good to post at 2 AM, I guess, but I have to say this: And all of a sudden they became muslim fundamentalists, over night. Right. Leave those people alone, for GOD sake.

    The one and only: Merle Haggard - "I Wonder What She'll Think About Me Leaving". Beautiful. One more, for working men. Oh, I've never posted the one from my signature, "Kern river". Here it is. :o
  24. Agreed. Animation would be great too. :rolleyes: ;)
