and what the heck does the language on my website have to do with how true my statements are? why don't you point out grammar mistakes? that's the same level of argument
calling me Fritz is also racist, thats like calling english people "Tommy"
lastly: who ever rates this - "dummkopf" is a german insult - since when are offensive posts rated higher than 0?
in germany everyone likes driving fast... speed traps don't stop them, because people report the traps on the radio, the system just doesn't work
but apart from that - in some residential areas there are machines that measure your speed and if you're too fast, it displays it on a big red digital readout... although you have nothing to lose there (being to fast doesn't get you into trouble) interestingly people drive slow there...
did you know there is a patent on the color of nivea cans?
this is just insane! patented colors and fonts... I even read something about patented PLACES! think about the FIFA worldcup... these WORDS are patented! what will be patentable next? I can't even make something up! everything I come up with (where the patentability would be ridiculous enough) IS ALREADY PATENTABLE!
Why in the world would they need two web browsers?
simple - one very basic stripped down browser (dillo) for weak machines and firefox for the ones that can't live without it and have the neccessary hardware to run it...
why is it called the software war map of 2006? there is nothing in there, that hasn't existed in 2005 (at least in an earlier release) it even contains windows XP and IE6!
once (1999 iirc) I tried to cancel an account at an ISP (not AOL though) by telling the bank to deny charges by them... some month later I got mail from their lawyer demanding the base fee of several month (about 300$)
since I didn't use the account anymore we could settle the lawsuit by paying 150$
so you see, since you can't proove you cancelled your account by phone, this method can get you into trouble!
I'm pretty often around in the 3D Realms Forums and I can tell you: there is absolutely no way! Noone at 3DR will give in to this! they haven't delayed this game for so many years (in order to make it perfect) just to publish it unfinished now, just because of a monetary offer... I've heared that it MIGHT be finished at the end of 2007... MAYBE! but 3DR has enough own money to finish the game on their own, so get used to it:
I say symantec, mcafee and so on should give this man lots of money if he lets them try to clean his system... imagine what an ad-campaign they could make "microsoft one care can't get your system clean, because microsoft doesn't know how to do that.... BUT WE CAN!"
sony knows how to make software operating deep in the OS... remember the rootkit... I have no doubt sony will be able to make a blu-ray driver for windows... that opens a backdoor...
yes, do it! censor all the violent games... soon you'll see that the only effects will be:
- the same games will be produced in foreign countries
- that'll cost jobs in america
- less taxes from game-studios (moving abroad or going bankrupt)
- less taxes through sales in stores
- people still get the games illegally
that's the only effect the game-censorship in germany had... less jobs, less money for the country, no effect on society
it wouldn't even have an effect IF people couldn't get violent games anymore, because games are not the problem, only a symptom!
the riaa estimate EVERYTHING costs them several billions per year... piracy, legal online stores, theft in stores, now even music videos...
whats next? radio/tv stations & discos which let people hear music (more or less) for free? if they cancel the contracts with all radio stations, tv stations and discos then all people have to buy cds to hear the music again... and the people will surely buy the cds containing music that they have never heared before...
lets say I buy/rent such a burned dvd... and I don't keep the bill...
now lets say the police raids my house - how the hell am I supposed to prove that this burned dvd is legal?
I'll have to pay hundreds of euros fine and maybe go to prison, because I legally bought/rented dvds... NO THANK YOU!

yes, but how fancy must this graphics be, if it needs four times the ram of a game that shows you a complete island that is several miles long?
OF COURSE!!! now I understand why the release is delayed again and again... they wait until most people have the hardware vista needs...
seriously - 1gb ram is still not usual, nor directX 9 graphics cards. what does this OS do!? this is more requirement than for farcry!
I wonder how life will be when the whole world is in prison...
different needs and tastes? thats pointless... just force people into being as brilliant as me and everything's fine... ;)
we need to buy a tv station together, then we show the complete earth... then earth belongs to us!
