Another ATI card owner checking in with this problem. The polygons occur either immediately or soon after ArmA is started, on even 800x600, barebones, no graphical frills at all. Diagnostic tools indicate that heat is not the issue. P4 2.8 Ghz Asus P4P800-E Mobo 1 Gb DDR 2700 ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Running Catalyst 6.11 drivers

I forgot how much fun this is

My ex-roommate had a bumper sticker with that exact wording that he decided would look good on our refrigerator. God he was a moron. What I gathered from him was that an 'errorist' is one who commits errors (he wasn't the brightest guy but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this particular point).

Don't knock yourself out in the originality department there buddy.

I'll see your spasmodic and violent expressions of disenfranchisement and raise you a metaphor for the crushing inevitability of victory for the status quo:

Sure could use a Ran update right about now- the coverage of these riots here in America has been sparse at best, nonexistent at worst, and most of it is of the "lol France" flavor anyway. I want some firsthand accounts =\

I didn't read the last page and a half but I'm pretty sure Hellfish is wrong

Thanks guys Yeah, I just saw a statement by the US ambassador in Sweden that the US has officially requested help from Sweden. The Swedish government has of course promised that it will provide as much help as it can. I think it goes to show how bad the situation is when the US is in need of external aid to cope with it. Either way, we're all glad if we are able to help. sup Denoir Yeah, the aftermath of this hurricane is going to be monumentally expensive, and the fact that the civil administration in most of Louisiana, especially New Orleans, is either corrupt, incompetent, or corrupt and incompetent, does not bode well for the long road ahead. Also I'd request that you ignore the American pinheads who were complaining about the lack of foreign relief being offered, despite extant news stories listing countries and foreign NGO's extending their aid. A moderately large but extremely vocal swathe of our population is virulently xenophobic, anti-internationalist, and will seize on any opportunity to drive a wedge between the United States and the world at large. Yeah, fuck them in the ear- the rest of us deeply appreciate any and all aid offered and rendered, and we have never considered the aid that the US has extended to other countries in the past to have been on a quid-pro-quo basis.

The National Guard and elements of the Marine Reserves were in New Orleans as early as yesterday afternoon- some sources say martial law has been imposed on certain segments of the city. One of our squadmember's wives got the call from her Reserve unit, they are being activated and sent to the disaster area to assist in recovery and relief operations. Also don't know if anyone posted this but it bears repeating: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html....02.html Thanks guys edit- 5:40 AM CST, CNN is reporting a large explosion in the city's railyard district; picked it up off a transcript of National Guard comm traffic as well

Crawford's book has been sold out everywhere I've gone. It's really outstanding- I burned through it in a day, it was so good.

Aw, has he been wearing a bit-too-bulky jacket on his pleasure jaunts to Tel Aviv?

why'd they move it back to the 25th?

Did you know that Pat Robertson can leg-press 2000 pounds http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories....tref=po

The book doesn't exactly lend itself to your typical Hollywood movie- a much better choice would be The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell by John Crawford... though I imagine that if Jarhead does well enough someone will option the rights to Crawford's book as well.

I played WWIIOL way back when- as I recall it was one of those games where when everything was clicking on all cylinders, it was really a one of a kind experience. Unfortunately I also recall that this rarely happened. I do know they've improved things greatly since then and have taken part in their trials, but it requires just a bit more effort than I'm prepared to put into a computer game. Also, ditto on Western Europe getting old. I do remember one time when myself and a section of other Germans staged a deep raid with an Opel Blitz on a few poorly defended BEF towns: very good times.
