One of the greatest shocks of moving "down under" was seeing how much of the stuff on the shelves had "Made in China" on them I had never seen something like that before, thinking that the Aussies (and Kiwis too for that matter) had completely forgotten how to manufacture anything but red wine

Ouch, never touch a dwarfs beard. In Warhammer, one of the most famous (and devastating) conflicts was known as "The War of the Beard" >_ @Amentep: Syringe of Vampire slaying?!?...

...and I think that is enogh cross forum arguments for one thread >_

Not to mention, that it features some great swamps >_

I have both now (for my PC). Some of those games developed for console first, ported late, are easier to navigate with that little lump of twisted plastic called Xbox360 (Genuine Microsoft Advantage ®) controller

He could stick his tongue on it and see if it tastes "funny"

I am way older than that, and still love the first two SW movies. Return of the Jedi was the beginning of the end for me (darn muppet show that it was), but I still bought the 3 DVD's with the original cinematic versions despite them being less than perfect transfers to DVD... and being Force Fed (pun unintended) the digitally mistreated versions on the same disks. I'll keep them locked up in a safe place so that I can always prove that Han shot first

I wonder if it is worth the effort, but I pruned the last part of the thread a bit. Disappointing to see otherwise bright individuals getting trigger happy and confrontational when certain subjects come up. Lets see if we can do it without the personal insults?

Bioware is part of the EA family now. You guys keep forgetting that it's all a question of what LA wants to do with their IP, not what developers around the world would like to do with it. LA wants maximum return of investment. I think most people guessed a few years ago where it was headed, when Bioware had established a MMO studio in Austin (2006) and a joint domain name featuring Bioware and LucasArts was registered (2007). I don't think they want something that would detract players from paying monthly subscription fees, it wouldn't make sense Maybe after it has established itself and found it's level of activity, spin off games might be considered.

That was my experiences with replacing the cooling on an ATI 4970x2 too. Just make sure you keep track of all those darn little screws and have some thermal paste handy before starting I cheated a bit and read the instruction pamphlet that came with the cooling though.

I think he meant the OCR software Most scanners come with some bundled OCR software. Do you already have a scanner? Try google for free ocr software.

In my experience, yes. You are more likely to have issues with newer gfx cards and/or vista, which you would probably also have in 32 bit versions, than you are with the 64 bit architecture. The only exception is if you try to run software so old that it is 16/32 bit hybrid products. No 16 bit windows support if I understood it correctly (when digging around for reasons that my Moo2 installer didn't work).

You don't say

This thread is getting a bit long... Continued here (with copies of the last couple of posts).

Start of old thread End of old thread My pike is bigger than yours Just to avoid disappointing the discussing gentlemen, the end of last thread. Not sure if it leads anywhere, but worth a try I suppose.

Europa Universalis III Because it is the only rts that I like.

...and he is serious about it too The gaming industry needs more CEO's like that

If you didn't already, then you are going to need x64 Windows (or whatever OS) now

Are you a troll/bot? The latter I think. Skynet in the making.

I think the biggest problem is to sell these projects to people. There are no tangible benefits in such projects, so it lacks the "no holds barred" monetary backing to make quantum leaps. People can see the immediate benefits of smaller, energy friendly cars, faster computers and crops that are resistant to pests, so that is where the research money goes.

It's an oxymoron. Translation: An action game for people who would like to think they play strategy games Not the best, but the first Star Wars game I ever played:

Claiming it to be impossible doesn't stop the guys from the University of Vienna from actually doing it in real, practical tests

Well, yes, because you have been arguing that the laws of physics might prevent us sorting out what are effectively logistical issues. The Europeans are already doing experiments with FTL communication. If you can transmit info faster than light, then it isn't impossible to imagine FTL travel
