Tja, aber ich bin nicht ,,deutsche Leute", sondern nur ein halb-deutscher Bastard! :lol: Vielen Dank/Arigato Goziemashta/Thank you very much. Be that as it may. How many languages to you speak/read/write, Kharn? OTB

Thank goodness I don't have one of those. Of course, they might have something to say 'bout that copy of The Anarchist Cookbook sitting on the shelf... :shock: Ah yes, this sort of thing could be invaluable for those facets of a plot centered around causing post-incident chaos. That...

You guys wanted a x-lation? You've got it: Cheers, OTB

Close. I'm a US/German half-breed. Too much of one to be the other. :lol: I hope people wouldn' t be impressed by what shiney baubles I've amassed. (You're probably right, though, which is why my work is far from done. ;) ) Oh, I don't aspire to own everything Crit. Coll. has put...

The problem w/an idea of a "better" society is basically that there are going to have be criteria selected before the process of definition can even begin. Furthermore, one will find that this question will yield the same result as Biology, in that whatever characteristics may be a virtue which...

Hehe...A question of taste, I suppose. Personally, it's my favorite Bond flick. I suppose it says something about my thinking regarding Bond flicks that I like the spoof best of all. Sophie Marceau...proof positive that that blonde hair and blue eyes don't hold a monopoly on stunning...

I hadn't heard that one. (Sellers did end up getting fired, though, which is why he is gunned down, and you don't so much as see his body fall when it happens.) I know Orson Welles and Peter Sellers hated each other and couldn't get along, to the extent that the couldn't be on the set...

This problem has nothing to do w/tilesets. The problem is that those tiles which have turned black are outside of the Camera Boundary. (Go to the "Level" tab and you will see the controls for changing it. It is detailed in the ReadMe file.) Go to the main page of NMA and look at the...

Yes, I'd say that some things are indeed lost w/digital vs. analog photography, just like digital sound isn't the same as it's analog counterpart. Basically, digital photography's short-coming is that it uses algorithms to average light values and compresses that into information that is...

I'm going to give a break on your geographic confusion. ;) Pearl Harbor and various other military facilities in Hawaii are to this day the logistical hub of US' Pacific operations. There are also islands that the US occupied in order to further its control of the Pacific, e.g. Wake and...

Well, he could use a defense like the one Ted Rall suggested. OTB

Wow. Mrfibble lasted all of 6 posts. Is this some sort of record? Personally, I look at it this way: if someone gets lippy, give them one post to try to put them back in place and if they won't desist, just ignore them. After that it's up to the mods and the admins... (Requiem aeternam...

What exactly are you looking for? We're not looking at something for a professional that can save in different format like RAW, JPG, etc. that a professional would need, right? If you're looking for something just to take snapshots with, I'd say stick to some of the lower end HP models. You...

I'm not in the market for a flatscreen TV, but I am planning on getting a flat panel monitor when I get a new computer later this year. That's largely a practical issue, though, since I want to be able to set my monitor away from my aging eyes a bit. As far as flat panel TVs go...I can't...

Hint. Hint? Hint?! :lol: It gives her name in the third photo, and imdb.com will give you the rest: Spy Who Loved Me, The (1977) .... Major Anya Amasova OTB

Yes, absolutely correct, Welsh. Even in the very chaotic conditions of '45 the German high command made every effort to pull units back into the regions that they originated in, too. The thinking being that regardless of any bitterness that a soldier might have regarding what by that time was...

I was going to bring up Jane Seymour and Famke Jansen...but Welsh stole my thunder. :lol: (Regarding F. Jansen: I have to say that I found her character's tendency to nearly orgasm while shooting up a roomful of people rather...disturbing...) I have a question, though. Was Ursula Anders...

I have to disagree here. Yes, Barbarossa was kicked off roughly 6 weeks later than the "no later than" date that its author Gen. Erich Marcks put down. Yes, the operations in the Balkans were conducted largely by mechanized forces and this wear-and-tear made itself felt during the invasion of...

Please do. I say we start a betting pool. My bet will be: "Spoils of a previous relationship." Where do you meet these women?! :lol: BTW, while I wouldn't sit down and re-read the JCoM books, I have to say that I'd love to see a retro-sci-fi game made in that vein. It'd be perfect for...

You should do that, then let us know what she said. Seriously, I'm curious to know, especially since I can't see any female reading these any more than I can see her reading the old John Carter of Mars books by E.R.B. Is that because they read an awful lot like a horny 13 year old's power...
