  1. What a paradox. Your sig is too big, but certain aspects of it should by no means be shrunk. ;)
  2. The first one seems like a relatively reasonable cause for upset. Maybe demanding nothing but hospital bill compensation would have fit better, as they rarely exceed a million smackaroos. But since it seems more reasonable, it is probably not the case. To illustrate my point: I could be pretend to be offended by your signature. I could say the an A-6 is an offensive object of militarism, and a personal attack on people like me. The object is, obviously, extortion. The case would of course be thrown out of court for being frivolous, but you get the point.
  3. Wiki (bottom) "The next major design from Roland were parasol monoplane designs, the D.XVI with the Siemens-Halske Sh.III or 170hp Goebel Goe.IIIa rotary piston engines, and the otherwise similar D.XVII with the inline 185hp BMW IIIa. Both were entered into the Second Fighter Competition at Adlershof, but lost to the Fokker D.VIII." Unfortunately, could not find pictures.
  4. Yay! It was pretty cool. The first minutes of it that I saw, that is, before my electricity went out. :(
  5. Now, I'm pretty sure that was an episode of Seinfeld.
  6. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that might be the Pfalz Dr.1.
  7. I agree with Saganuay82, you shouldn't upgrade unless you really have to. My computer's got half the processing power of yours, and half the RAM recommended to run WinXP; yet it runs First Eagles on "Medium" with no trouble at all. My professional (sic) opinion is that you should keep your system, if it isn't giving you any trouble. If it doesn't run some programs to your satisfaction, upgrade the most age-afflicted parts first. However, I am compelled to point out that a good CRT can* offer better picture, higher resolution, and sharper contrast than any other display type. *That's the key word, as you'll be hard pressed to find a well-made CRT. ;-)
  8. I remember trying that with X-Wing a couple years ago. I'm pretty sure the fact that it was an ancient school computer running on Windows ME had nothing to do with the experiment's failure, so after my detention I concluded that it was impossible. I'm glad to see you got it working at least. As you pointed out, it is really useful for intro-ing people to SFP1 (&c), or for letting people borrow it. I wonder if it would work on the library computers...
  9. I quite agree. The entire game feels thrown together. It looks like they don't care. EDIT: I forgot to add, does anybody find it disconcerting that the terrible look-and-feel is a little strange, for a game that's ridiculously demanding in system resources?

  11. C'est une bonne idée ! J'espère que vous augmentez là-dessus.
  12. No relevancy to the question.
  13. That's a moot point, as SUVs are inherently ugly.
  14. You're as much in the dark as I am. I once did a very long and boring (lie, I just hit Alt+N twice) recon over the lines. I saw no enemy planes. Not on the map, not in the air. I was credited with five victories and awarded the DFC! But I digress. Sometimes a web browser will accidently load an old page from the cache. This the only thing I can think of, but I don't think FE has a cache. Most likely it's just a glitch.
  15. Hello everone. Please note that this little sequence only makes sense if you're familiar with Weebl and Bob. This picture I found on Wikipidia, + Our friend Weebl (left), = This:
  16. Sweet! I, for one, would be very interested.
  17. First of all, there's no need to shout. Do you know how many internet ettiquette laws you're breaking by typing in all caps? Well, you're breaking one. Don't type in all caps. Try and see in you made any typos in the .ini's. It's very exacting.
  18. The joke comes to mind, if you know it, about putting a steak on a fishing rod and attaching that apparatus to your back bumper. That would be AWESOME.
  19. Oh, crap. That's six or seven sins a day. I love the myths and "facts". Much like the highly scientific MSPaint graph at the bottom, it screams fabrication. As if Christianity needs further bruises to its reputation.
  20. Welcome to CombatACE, Cali! Glad to have you aboard!
  21. Even so, you cannot escape the (off-topic) fact the King Kong vs. Godzilla is the greatest film ever made by anyone ever.
  22. Actually, I believe there is a difference between the "American" accent, and my neighbors' "meth farmer" guttural screech.
  23. I know that this is probably very inappropriate, but this just cracked me up. http://www.deton.lietadla.com/ocova2006/07.jpg
  24. I find it useful to go to F6 view, zoom all the way out, and put the camera directly overhead. That way you can release your bombs and hit something.
