Yeah, a new TFX would be nice, with a dynamic campaign like in EF2000, maybe with some planes of the near future like the JSF or even some armed drones, or not so well known planes like the Saab Gripen or the Dassault Rafale.
Or a civil flightsim like the impressive Flight Unlimited. No other flightsim ever reached the feeling of flying the planes in this sim, and the artistic flight mode was truly unique.
-Might & Magic Could be really good First-person-Diablo HacknSlay with some humor borrowed by NetHack.
-Ultima Series Could be a good competitor to Bethesdas Elder Scrolls series.
-Alone in the Dark (the first true 3D-survival-horror-game) The parts 4 and 5 played in completely unlogical settings as sequels to part 1 to 3.
-Lucas Arts Space Combat Sims One of my personal all time classics of the entire history of games, TIE Fighter, which is part of long series of space combat sims made by Lucas Arts (X-Wing + Mission Disks, TIE-Fighter with Mission Disk an various game engine versions, X-Wing-Alliance, XW vs. TF...), could bring the entire genre back on stage.
Today: Learn English. It's definetely the language of technicians and scientists all over the world. Since it's your mothelanguage there is nothing more to do for you.
But if you're want to to go to a foreign country for some years, you should learn the language of the people there. In first line not for the work with other technicians/scientist there, but for fighting the everyday life. Maybe you want to go shopping there, deal with the local bureaucracy or converse with some chicks at a party:-D
Interesting is also that intel expects a maximum power consumption of at least 300 Watts. I personally expect nothing from that thing. The ancient technology of the cores and the perspective of building a system serving and cooling a hotspot of 300 Watts doesn't make these cards my favourite choice yet. I#m very sceptic about Intes try of making a high end graphic board. I really can't imagine that old cores of first gen Pentiums will be able to compete with modern stream processing units. I'm wondering that Intel wasn't able to choose some RISC-design at least, maybe i960.
... if you hit a school bus with your SUV (or the bus your tanklike SUV), what will happen with the kids? So, you survive, and 10 kids get killed...
What is better? And what is fair? Is that OK when the bus hits you, or not if you hit the bus? There are always traffic participants which are weaker or stonger tahn you. Building bigger guns... ehm... tanks... ehm, cars is not the answer.
No i wouldn't remove buses. I already wrote why. First, in city traffic the speedas are low. Second, a light car would be pushed away by a bus, and not become crumpled. An d the 3rd reason is, the world is dangerous, it will ever be dangerous, and you can't avoid every single maybe lethal danger of the world. I know, that's hard to believe for americans, which is the reason they buy so many guns, cover almost every sold device with dozenz of warning stickers about even the stupidest 'dangers' or maloperations. Hey, do you live in a house which resists the impact of an Airbus A380? No? Whoohoo, you should be feared! Hurry, build yourself a bunker.
Wer're not discussing about pedestrians. If you want to save them, you have to forbid all cars, even bicycles. But in the city the average speed ist very low, another reason why they are no extreme or additional danger explicitely to microcompacts in that environment. The average collision speed is not very high there.
WOB is for Wolfsburg. The L 1 is for One Litre, but you can't write 1 L on a german plate, because you must have one or two letters after the city code, followed by up to three numbers.
Transport the goods on trains. That's the best you can do anyway. And these heavy trucks would kill you in an big sedan or SUV too, not just in a microcompact. Nothing protects you against 50 tons with a speed of 80 km/h.
Simply kick all the senseless SUVs, Trucks, Offroaders and so on off the streets.
If there are only light cars around, no one get's hit by a 2.5 ton doctor's wife with her Porsche Cayenne.
It's really time for it.
And by the way, if your car is extremely light, an much heavier opponent in an accidend would
push your micocompact away instead of crushing through it. Especially if the microcompact is made
of an robust security cell (see the Samrts Tridion Security Cell) or a Formula One like cage of carbon
fiber like the VW 1L. I assume there are almost no more secure big cars around as these compacts are.
...that the only thing which counts is the 'Total Cost of Ownership'? Do I have to pay every installed node running Windows or every CPU? And how much do i have to pay for every registered copy of Windows and it's support service?
My choice in the last 5 years were cards by Nvidia only. The reasons are obvisouly. Their drivers work (on Linux).
I also prefer cards without active cooling and ATI ist known for many cards with passive cooling which consume low power.
So, if the drivers they made are pretty good, especially the OpenGL implementation (i write simple OpenGL programs and i use Blender),
they could be a very good choice for me. But after years of bad experiences with ATI on my Linux-powered notebooks,
i'm sceptic and wait until the responses to their drivers are positive.
I don't want slow, errorneous and CPU-intensive 3D-support through DRI again.
Obviously are games for DS/PSP/PS2 no games for Windows. But Cadega ports Windows-games. That would be a totally different product. Feel free to make one.
Steve killed the PPC, not the software vendors. It _must_ be good;-).
Seriously, what sense makes it to create a software which demands high end hardware (gaming)
and port it on a computer base consisting of mostly 3 or 4 year old systems? Most of them
lack of RAM, lack of GPU-power, lack of CPU-speed.
Everyone of them has a 'u' in it's name. UK, Deutschland, Neu Seeland, Republik Frankreich, USA. Well, in some kind of language.
Never heard of a group named U5. I would assume it's some kind of military cooperation. New Zealand is also a part of the Echelon-Program. Germany, UK and the US too. Maybe there is also a Echelon-station in France or they share the informations.
I Switches from the cheap Yahoo!-Keyboard for a few , which one i used for many years, to the stylish SGI 'Klingon Grey'. i bought a bunch of German and US-Int versions, should be anough for many years. They look great, have no senseless multimedia buttons, no Win95-keys and they make a a hearable sound when you type, not as loud as the Model M, but enough. And they are cheap too, you cann buy new ones at ebay for ten to 20 or at some SGI-resellers for about 25. I think i have found my keybord, and i stay as long with it as long as i can.
Actally the energy of radar is very low, except you stand directly in front of the emitter. Or when was the last time you got cooked by the radar from the airport next to you? You must have really good sensors to detect such low heat. I assume the heat of computers and electronics on board of a plane or the exhausts of the turbines are the much bigger problem for the one doesn't want to be 'seen'.

...Google Earth coordinates? If it's not on GE, it doesn't exist in the so called real world.

Because we need new IP-adresses for Rapidshare and the other filehosters.
No, i'm using a German keyboard layout. the ' and the # are on the same key, i simply missed the shift key to print the '.
...i would have answered: Learn German.

No, but you can build a more dense grid of railways (that is called investement or so) and use trucks only for the last kilometres of delivery.
