I thought the same. That's been commented earlier, in SourceForge's forums, I think. But I'll relay that just in case.

Yes, it is vague. But, trying to make it less vague, I could say that you would have to compare how many times has the US started a war against that same figure applied to other countries. You do the math, I'm not well informed. But... have in mind that what matters is what uninformed people...

Not precisely. More like the opposite - the world is pissed because America likes to go to war too often, and can (basically, IMO, it's the "and can" portion that unsettles people). Add that to the threats made after 9/11 about "you're either with us or against us". Now, that makes Bush seem...

Edfilho: It came out without propper emphasis - I was referring to the required upscaling. My card didn't upscale, and cheated the TV set into using Pal-B with NTSC resolution (and it worked). But if a card tried to upscale (like current videocards, which try to follow the standard...

Oh... and since we're with the political debates... Do you see any sense in my government giving diplomatic immunity to US soldiers during this encounter they're having here at Mar del Plata? I really think it's very, very silly and dangerous to give diplomatic immunity to a bunch of...

Awfully true... but that doesn't remove the fact that such practice, when it's beneficial to the US while perjudicial to some other countries, those other countries will look at the US with anything except friendly thoughts. That's what's going on. I don't see wrong that US gvmt does...

That makes a lot of sense. Both parts. So... I apologize for bringing those issues. I reckon it was disrespectful to do so in this manner (I'm not sure which manner would). As I stated at the beginning, my intention was not specifically to start a debate - just make a little comment to make...

I used to play that one with the DXR connected to the TV, and the audio connected to... well... the soundsystem. It was a home-theater-like system (not for home-theater, but it played that role pretty well). Quite an experience. So... PAL-NTSC did matter. The card I had had a Pal-B output...

First of all... I'm not saying nasty things. Well, I hope. What's so nasty about following leaders? Even blindly? That's basically what leaders are for. I don't think it's always a bad thing... but sometimes... For instance, I think that's why the US is so powerful: it has his people...

I'm not saying that. Please, don't take everything I say like that. Saying that they'll blindly follow their leaders is calling them ignorants as much as saying Japanese people following their emperors implied that as well. Don't try so hard to read between lines... I type my mind. And...

Hey... I'm patriotic. I like my country, as in the people inside. I despise my government, though. I was pointing out a difference, only, and for only that purpose: Americans may or may not despise their county's government, but they will support it always, until the next election. For them...

LOAF: Don't use the term banana republic if you don't mean it. I know you're kind of acid at times... but that's too acid. It's a very personal attack on us third world countries... it's like calling us "sudacas". That's probably why FS got so pissed. Look at the japanese today... they're a...

Most likely. But I think the problem with Japan at the time, is the same as the problem with Irak: Western people simply don't understand their culture, and that exhacerbates the conflict. And with a power like the US, willing to force its morality upon others, it only gets worse. And I...

Why do that without announcing it?

POW? What's that?

Wow. You're right there. But, if the world is trying to avoid it, I'd say it was a mistake. A mistake from which the world learned a lot, but a mistake nonetheless.

That's why it's fun. If it's a bot, it's a very well crafted one, judging from the first posts.

I see your point. I just can't share it. I'm trying to stay out of the morality debate. I'm saying that, in any front, it was a mistake. Immoral today (perhaps moral at the time) Too easy? It's not fair... is it? (funny way of seeing it, I agree, silly) Very dangerous and lasting...

I'm with Master Wooky. You have to draw the line somewhere. I always thought that, even during WW2, there was a line separating civilians from military guys. Where exactly that line was, I'm not sure. But surely, if you kill everyone inside a city, you're crossing it. Furthermore, the...

This is fun. You know, Saphir7, the act of communication takes place when you want to share your ideas with someone else. Using such a cryptic language doesn't get you a long way through that road, IMO - and the fact that I too am longing for a choripan and willing to write it down in my...
