No, I haven't read this. I haven't even seen the film "The White Ribbon" yet, which seems to be about the German family psyche short before WW1.

That's one of the two cards I had in mind, Parky! But for OFF and my monitor, the 4870 should do great, still.

Good luck!

No, he does not mean the men or boys at all. He means the mothers themselves. The mothers were coming or walking the ways of mothers, they were kind of pretending or really believing they were mothers - but they were not, in his opinion. He does not understand, why they had become mothers, when they had so little of any motherlike nature.

Yes, I hope it will. Cause then, I won't need anything much else. I may go for a new graphic card later, but rather for more demanding games like Crisis.

...and the green leaf grins...

The laughing eyes is, because I will get my big upgrade tomorrow. The crying eye: all my recent pilots (and two have got quite far already) will now be down the drain again. But well, time to start 3 even more serious ones. Here are my upgrade specs (many thanks to von Paulus, Parky, and my "computer chief advisor" Roland): Mobo: ASUS P8P67 Rev. 3 CPU: Intel Core i5 2500 k Memory: 4 GB Corsair XMS 3 CPU-cooling: Corsair H50 watercooling and Windows 7 (the water cooling is, cause I want to overclock the CPU up to 4 GHz) I will keep the ATI HD4870 (1 GB), because it will still be great with my 1680x1050 monitor resolution. Roland showed me, how he played Crisis II with the same card, and it looked amazing.

Well, if they had meant OFF, they would make themselves sound like "a runner getting short of breath". Which I don't think they are. So, I also think that they were alluding to another new released sim, which would be "CoD".

Better already - still some things were understood wrong/different to what he said. In our efforts came together all our dreams, our fathers’, our mothers’, And fell. The efforts did NOT fall here. The efforts fell together (assembled; came together, into place). Now we stand before our graves, sucking up Death, to bring our End. They are sucking up deaths (plural) - the deaths of many - to become completed, to become the way they were meant to be Our reason is thus: We are children of a race without resistance to its own breeding. Soulless. (missing:) Of children against their (own) breed. With eyes that probe mind-inward, extracting pain. with eyes that dig into the own brains; ...that rummage around in their own brains Long time more than thrice denied... and more than one God must we sate. "to sate" means to satisfy rather, to make content What he wrote is, that they must make the gods numb, must sedate the gods, so the gods won't see or feel the pain and terror of their deeds. For us there is no blessed return, no ‘Amen’ for our lamentation from fond / endearing / tender mouths that once were ripe with sweetness... Our mothers failed us, that bewailed us, Thus we mistrust their ‘motherhood’. this line says in original, that they are really wondering or even worrying about the ways of mothers - sounds open and uncommon, but that's what he wrote. But yours contains the right meaning. And that shall never leave us. Maybe if we just acknowledge we are the children of a mistake not of "a" mistake, but rather just "of Error", as if Error was a god, or person And therefore unforgivable by these days, can one say here: And therefor the Unforgivables by these days? Cause he uses the word like a title, or the name of an alien race, or a tribe Maybe then... WHAT? ... Soulless ... A country fades away, A country getting pale all over; paleness spreading over a country And many fell, and we long for their pillow. They were not longing for the pillows of the fallen, but for the pale country's big white pillow It's getting close, and I hope you make "another run", Dej.

Tch! What are you guys going on about? C64??? Think I wasn't even born yet then.

Shiloh, when you have a DVD, you do not need to install CFS3. The DVD version is 3.1 or even 3.1a. OFF will ask for the DVD during install - that's all. And I would in this case NOT install the whole of CFS3 on my rig. No need to.

Ooops! You're right - it goes into "profiles" of course. Sorry. Did you first unzip it? Best unzip it to desktop. Then try to move it like this: in the Windows Exlorer, on the left side in that tree, you click on C: programs, then on NaturalPoint, on TrackIR5. Now you should see the content of it's folder below that - among them is the "Profiles" folder. Don't click it though. So far so good. Now you click on Desktop above. In the big frame on the right, you now see all that is on desktop, among that the Olham profile. Now click it with the mouse, hold it clicked, and pull it on the "Profiles" folder. If that doesn't work, I can't help any further.

Good one, UncleAl!

If you mean that feeling, that you are not very much more intelligent than Winnie the Pooh - then we share that, Lou! I am often glad in the morning, that my feet seem to remember the way to the toilet themselves.

Mmuahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!! I'm not only daydreaming - I HAVE been in hospital several times by now!

Is that a poem, Dej?

Where does one find such wifes???? Javito: ...or strafing German ground troops at Passchendaele. Without a shirt. I knew, Passchendaele was a spot for some of the most perverted human deeds, but - flying with no shirt on?????

Ah, bah! Horned helmets! Tch!! The Vikings never wore horned helmets; it's an archeologist's error. They were drinking horns, layn beside the head of the dead kings, so they'd find them better in Walhalla. Okay, back in those days, there was a lot of commotion in Europe, and Siegfried's secret love, Brynhild, may have been a princess from Island even (stronger as most men!). So there are relations, of course. Same with England, which was settled by Angles and Saxons. Vikings founded places like Wittby and Hull there. Yeah, Europe was another big melting pot, that's true.

Oh, I love that movie - I love Amelie! Vive la France!!!

Oooooh yeaaaaahhhhh!!!!! That's why I am flying like a berserk. Everyone here may think, I was either so couraged or totally crazy. But the truth it - I get really weak, when I see one of these slender nurses in their white dresses! (Faint!) And to get near them - you need to get into hospital!

Very good, Lou!

Ah - you lucky man! So I was only wasting my tips...

No, Dej - it is very, very original and the writer's special and slightly strange, but powerful language. Nothing of this - not even one line - sounds like anything you would have heard like this or only similarly before. The three times denial is the only passage, that is definitely meant to remind one of the last days of Jesus - when in the end he felt even left by god, his own father. The rest is dark, original, very personal expressionist "word drawing". Sorry. You can only try to do the same in English, I think - keep the original strong strangeness. It is definitely meant to be irritating in every line.

A nurse???!!! With THAT face?????!!!! Well, perhaps they thought you were Nurse Gladys... Congrats on your escape. If you should not make it to escape one day, write me a note, where you are kept. I'll bring you some bacon, beer and chocolate then!

Javito: Took me a few hours to get OFF configured the way I wanted it... ...then another year to learn how to not die constantly Shiloh: Great...I have a year of dying to look forward to. RAF_Louvert: there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Now, mostly dead is still slightly alive. But all dead...well... You guys are priceless! No way a lady would ever understand or even follow our banter!
