that star trek thing was a joke, man. Anyway, by democracy I usually mean a society where the people elect their own goverment. thats not the same as the antic democracy, but close.
About weather or not communism is possible:
First, communism means there is no money, so you have no...
its the nerve! people who are obviously cheating (there was this guy on DC who took some 50 MG rounds in his back, and then came back and killed me...), and, when confronted with it, say they are just "good" or worse "sk1ll3d!"...however, there are guys who blame everyone better than them with...
hm...I'd love to have meetings over the internet to watch a certain movie...now that'd be cool. oh well, they will for sure make a sizelimit, cause you can't just upload a 200 MB movie (not with ADSL).
hm...I recently switched from a GF2 Ti to a raedeon 9700 pro, and i did not have any bugs...In fact, i uninstalled the Nvidia drivers after I installed the ATI one...guess my computer just knows better than to piss me off...
well, in Star trek communism worked...you can try and force democracy on a people (like the germans after WWII), but that will only work if you have people who can jump in until a new generation has been raised to democratic values...
oh, and I agree that communism will not work. humans are...
well, if a society decides to try communism by itself, there is nothing to say against that, however if a way of living is forced on people, these people should be helped by any means necesarry.
ah...silence...now really, i think people can see a difference between 45 and 100 FPS. i guess everyone would agree to say that the 100fps seem smoother than the 45FPS. However, I don't think there are people who see a game and say something like "That game is running at 67, perhaps 68 FPS."
oh yeah, the axis of evil. I laughed a lot when I heard that, as well as the term "evil-doers". I mean its okay to call the bad guys evil-doers in a childrensbook, but not in a political speech.
I can hardly judge on the israel issue (being german, disagreeing with israel would make me look...
well, in the end, they determine how often you get to see a new picture on the screen, but usually the limiting factor is the graphicscard, that renders images only at a certain speed - FPS. Who owns a videocard that can render frames faster than the monitor can display them should re-think his...
about the french anti-americanism: Part of it is americas fault. You see, the french are very proud of their resitance during the german occupiance, yet the americans always say things like "Without us, you'd be speaking german by now." thats quite true, but it makes it look like the french were...
I do notice refresh rate, but I thought this was going about you noticing the difference between 30 and 40 FPS. Meaning, you have the über 1337-Monitor, running at 5000 hz, and then we start talking about noticing the FPS...jeez...
FPS and Hz are two completly different things. hz states how often a second the monitor draws anew picture, FPS is how many frames are rendered by the graphicscard a second...
basically, movies are made with 26 frames per second (initially, nowadays the probably have gone up to 30 or something). You might notice the difference between 30 and 40 Frames (skilled eye of a gamer), but anything above that is unnoticable (besides, i loath people who oc their system just to...
i'm quite sure that the source engine can handle the same thing, but a) it would be no use and b)would it sell a single copy? No. People only go for the overall experiance, and if HL2s physics would be neat, but the gameplay would suck, nobody would buy it. that also works the other way around...
the purpose of life is to understand the purpose of life...
there is little to nothing I would like to accomplish before death...there is alot of things I'd like to see before I die, but not accomplished by me...
the whole bush-election does smell fishy to me. Yes I read Micheal Moore, and I found it...interessting, to say the least. okay, maybe he was elected, maybe he wasn't, fact is, that was the most emberasing show of "democracy" I've seen in years. Every, without failure, every other democracy...
