Very weird that this article says that piracy is up, while today I just read at The Inquirer tha according to the BSA the piracy is going down ? http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17085
I'm sure that if you look close there will be minor differences between the Golf IV of one year and one of one or two years later. Mostly small things like trim levels, bumpers, lights. It looks the same but someone who knows where to look for can see immediately what year it's from.
One example I know myself was the bmw 320, the 1999 model when it was introduced had it's back lights with orange/red plastic, one or 2 years later the orange of the indicator lights was more a white plastic. Still the same car, same trim levels,.. The coupe looked similar but on the back it had 2 red reflectors on the bumper which the saloon didn't have.
But indeed I also found that in the usa people pay more attention to what year a car is from (at least what we see here in europe on tv from car chases where the cops say a car is a year - brand - model) while in Europe people would rather say it's a 'new' or 'old' car.
ever checked car radio systems ? models also change a lot and quite fast, while just the looks which have changed while the features are almost the same.. at least usually external cd-changers stay the compatible but if you have a changer of 2-3 years old it can be quite a task to find out with which current radio it still works (as I found out recently)
parallel parking is easy: - drive next to the car you want to park behind - when the backsides of the car are equal, start turning your wheel (you've got to practise a bit how fast) while driving backwards - when you see his outer front corner in your mirror (so parking left you see his front left corner in your left mirror, parking right side you see his front right corner in your right mirror) you turn your steering wheel in the other direction - you're parked
If you would be so kind, I am really curious what the reasons were
Well this is about my Outlook to Thunderbird switch, but there is a feature I really miss. Can anyone tell me if you can setup multiple identities using the same mailbox on a server ?
Our provide gives 1 mailbox but with different aliases. With Outlook Express at least I could setup a main identity and a second for my wife, so email we sent was sent under our own name and mail address. Replies came back to the same inbox but that was no problem.
I just don't find how to do this under Thunderbird ?! Yes you can add identities but it doesn't accept it because the inbox on the server is the same. OE was at least that stupid to just take any incoming mail and put it the active identity. (btw I'm still on 0.6 but haven't seen this in the change list)
All I want is an easy way to switch between the name settings of outgoing mails without having to type it in all the time..
YES ! I don't remember this name but the screenshots look quite similar.. so unless there was another game which looks like this I guess you found what it was. Thanks ! Going to dl it tonight and see if memories are correct..
Airborne ranger is also not it.. I do remember playing that also though:-) thanks for replying.. Just downloaded a list of screenshots of c64 games, I'll check that out and maybe I find it that way..
It's similar though.. In contrast to commandos and ikari warriors the sprite of the man you controlled was very small..
The difference in gameplay is that in commandos and ikari warriors speed was more important, everything went very fast and targets came also towards you, while the game I look for was a bit slower-paced, you could wait behind a tree and strategy/finding a good path was more important..
Can anyone tell me the name of a similar game on the C=64 ? I'm looking for this for a long time and have a hole in my memory, I can see the screen before my eyes but don't remember the name:-((
Basically it was the same setup as Cannon Fodder, but ran around with one small man, you could shoot and throw grenades, had several missions to do.. you had an overview and had towards the top of the screen to advance.
And do it was not Commandos, although it was about the same time period. If I'm correct there was even a sequel about the game I'm looking for (and maybe even a 3rd)..
how much longer until they want you to sign with your blood and give up your soul to listen to some music ? oh no, maybe music is the work of the devil ?!
didn't you have to select 3 specific character to play this game, (ie the guy who could develop photos) and if you didn't, the game was unwinnable from the first minute you played ??
yep, as a European I also appreciate this movie.. gives you a better idea how it looks like somewhere else.
Same thing with the other/. post last week of a truck driving through the USA to take pictures of every street. Would be cool if it got online so everyone could access it.
Some people I email with have sent me links to sites of local newspapers and things like that so at least I have an idea of how their town looks like and what's going on.
Because if you live in a city or in a heavily populated country in Europe, it's easy to think everyone lives in a city.. Quite difficult to understand that someone lives in the middle of nowhere or in a very small town..
They only have to shoot the first person.. and maybe the second.. and the rest will stop.
People will not run further and get killed knowing that a few hours later the guards will run out of ammo and someone else of these 1000 people will know the truth. (unless you really start to brainwash a lot of people)
Same thing happened in the concentration camps, jews were with enough people to overtake their guards if they all attacked them at once. But they never did.. because the 1st dozens would get killed so no-one wants to go first..
Search for Vista Pro.. this program exists for about 10 years now, I remember using it on the Amiga and then there was also a program available to convert bitmaps to the maps VP could use.
Most guards will only look at that on the way out.
Indeed.. someone at my previous job once told me at one of his previous jobs he was a contractor at a major automotive factory. The security was very tight, everything you brought in you had to register and it was checked.. when you drove out.
This guy stole tools and other things, even ordered them especially by saying he needed them for his job, once he had it on his desk in the morning he drove in, filled in the papers he had this tool with him, and in the evening drove out with the tool..
We can't communicate with dolphins because we didn't have the need to do so.
If we knew they were trying to tell us a message and they actually tried to get the message across, resources would be made free so we could communicate with them..
Communication is 2 ways, you have to make sure you understand what they say, and they must also make an effort to be understood and repeat if necessary..
What about cats ? Do they say we can't communicate with cats ? Sorry, I do communicate with my cats.
I don't know everything they say, and they don't understand everything I say (I hope:-) but if they want to send me a message (need food/attention/to be alone/go outside/..) they get the message to me. And if they do something they shouldn't, I also make sure they get the message.. So yes to me that's communicating.
And now I'm thinking about it, yes, some people can communicate with dolphins. Dolphin trainers do train them and I assume they will also learn to interpret the reactions of the dolphins. They won't understand everything, and we speak our own languages to communicate (dolphins won't speak and we won't squeek), but there is some limited communication.
Funny maybe.. or maybe not ? MS (and some other corporations) just try to patent everything they can. So in the end their power and wealth just accumulates.. maybe in 100 years we're living in a Blade Runner world where 1 or 2 companies control the world. And really control it or have rights to everything on it. I guess it'll really start going wrong is a company starts to operate it's own 'security crew' (read: army). Or when they just have power enough that the US President is nothing but a puppet for them. Guess revolution is the only way to stop all this - everyone ignoring all this patents and intellectial rights stuff..

in step 3 with 'his' I mean the car behind you
parallel parking is easy:
- drive next to the car you want to park behind
- when the backsides of the car are equal, start turning your wheel (you've got to practise a bit how fast) while driving backwards
- when you see his outer front corner in your mirror (so parking left you see his front left corner in your left mirror, parking right side you see his front right corner in your right mirror)
you turn your steering wheel in the other direction
- you're parked
they're in sweden - 80 percent or so of all cars there is either a volvo or a saab..
thanks, I'll check it out.. :-(
0.6 also has a manage identities, but as I say you couldn't make 2 identities for the same mailbox

The developers got paid for developing back then.
It's the current copyright owners who now cash in royalties.
they probably tested the weapon on their own server
then we live in a situation as on the former communistic countries.. maybe still now in China, Cuba, North Korea.
So no thank you, I prefer to live in a country where there's a little less censorship (as far as I know..)
well I'm in Europe and never heard about this..
so here it probably isn't a known fact
how much longer until they want you to sign
with your blood and give up your soul to listen
to some music ?
oh no, maybe music is the work of the devil ?!
