  1. All of these are aok maps except watering hole which is aom:

    Highland (nope, hate rivers)

    Arabia

    Islands

    Team Islands

    Archipelago (oooh, gotta love the random setup of this map!)

    Medit

    Nomad

    Land nomad

    Gold rush

    Watering hole

    I really love all those maps, though there's nothing like a good game of blind random :P

  2. hey xtreme computing :(

    Why don't you post a welcome thread over in the introductions forum, so the people who don't visit this forum can see you? :(

    And yeah, I'm also interested in the new MoBos. Problem is they probably won't work with the ATX PSUs nor cases --> expensive upgrade for me :D

    How am I wrong? For audio, the only pentium that doesn't beat all athlons (and only getting beat by an overclocked athlon at that) in audio encoding is 2.8. For video, the pentiums are still faster, though not by as large a margin.

    The 2.8 costs $196 at newegg, the 3.06 costs 265, and the athlons cost at the most 220 (32bit) or vary varying prices for the 64's: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?...20&Order=priceD

    Now again, where was I wrong? I never mentioned price you know...

  4. The paging file? Go to control panel, system, advanced, there'll be a button for options for visual effects/virtual memory and some other stuff, advanced, virtual memory, and then make the file bigger :D If you've got several partitions, put the file on the disc with windows on it.

  5. On that same topic it should be noted that on average an italian woman has 1.2 kids. Swedish women have 1.6 I think (can't remember the exact numbers now), and I've got no idea of the number for americans ;) What that means? That the population will fall in those countries of course. OTOH, other countries (africa, india) have a tradition of baby-making. I guess it evens out in a way.

    And I believe I read somewhere (don't take this as a fact, just wondering if someone knows if it is or not) that the only reason the american population isn't rapidly decreasing is cause of immigrants.

    That might have gotten a bit off-topic, but it has some bearing atleast on the subject I hope :ph34r:

  6. Doesn't change the fact that when you speak of capitalism you usually mean socialism. In pure capitalism things like taxes and regulation of the market (like how here in Sweden we've got this competition institution which basically makes sure that one company doesn't dominate the market, thereby allowing them to raise prices for an unjustified profit and such).

    I wasn't talking about how they were related in terms of ideologies.
