  1. 0! Well I only watch tv once a week so I hardly use this one. Next to that I have an old radio (early 50s) to listen to broadcasts from abroad or our Belgian quality broadcaster, which doesn't have a remote control (duh), and my laptop for listening to cds.
  2. Well I'm sure she likes me What I've noticed during my exploration of the female population is how harsh and sometimes evil they can be towards eachother or men they don't like. It seems to me that women bear grudges a lot longer then men, men are more the type to solve a fight quickly (sometimes by acting like a tough guy or fighting, which isn't good either), while women seem like they solve it quickly but in reality do things behind your back. ...if you know what I mean
  3. I got 138, and I'm supposed to be a visual mathematician. Hmm I hate maths anyway
  4. Yep, for large groups I don't know I can feel uncomfortable sometimes, but sometimes I like it too. Well DA I'm not sure they're referring to attention from girls, I'm sure everyone likes that Situations I don't like are those of which you know beforehand that you'll make a fool of yourself, or having to hang around with people I don't like.
  5. Spanish Netherlands the Netherlands? OMG what a huge mistake, Belgian and Dutch historians would be really offended if they ever read that. Trash those Osprey books immediatly Wijit
  6. I'm most proud of winning a contest to draw an anti-drugs logo, back when I was 13. The price was a bunch of books and a stickers made of the logo, published for the whole province. Well, after that my drawing skills went completely backwards I also won the European Mapper 2000 contest for AoK (map design contest), receiving a MS Sidewinder and a games (the latter I never received). I got the AoM Alpha And I won some end-years contest at school, you head to guess the width of a tree (pretty stupid ).
  7. reading books for college = leisure Domestic services and genders De Leeuw Van Vlaanderen (The Lion of Flanders) Othello
  8. Looks really amazing! Great work Poya and Jan!
  9. It's one of the few games that runs well on my pc My specialty is a bit of everything, depending on which map. Usually engineer, but soldier with flamethrower is pretty cool of you have to capture or defend spawn points. Medic is nice too, your health is pretty high and you can easily heal yourself. You shouldn't play me then DKATyler, I usually end up in the top 3 after a campaign
  10. Enemy territory is a free multiplayer FPS based on RTCW. It's pretty cool, not just shooting and jumping around. There are 2 teams: Axis or Allies. Axis are usually on defence and Allies on offence. Usually you have to complete one or more objectives in a map. An example is stealing a tank from the Axis, escorting it to the bank, blowing up the doors of the bank, getting the gold and escorting the truck to your original base. In the game there are several classes: - soldier (heavy weapon class: panzerfaust, flamethrower, portable machinegun, mortar) - medic (low on ammo, can revive killed team mates and drop med packs) - engineer (can place landmines, repair/build stuff, place dynamite, has gun that can shoot grenades or just the standard MP 40/Thompson) - covert ops (can steal an enemy uniform, can have a sniper rifle or a silenced one, can spot mines, has a satchel to blow up stuff like command posts) - field ops (can call in artillery support by watching through his binoculars, call in an air strike by throwing some kind of grenade and can drop ammo packs) Next to that you can also gain experience. You do this in 3 ways: - killing enemies with your light weapons (mp 40, thompson, grenade or for example a sniper rifle used not for sniping) - getting hit or hitting enemies without getting killed and walking around a lot - doing stuff that's unique to your class (sniping, building stuff, healing people, killing enemies with an air strike, etc) The advantage of gaining experience is that you go higher in rank and become a lot more powerful. Examples are starting with more ammo or health, being able to spot landmines of you're close to them, longer artillery support, reviving team mates so they are at full health instead of half, etc). Pretty cool game imo, especially if you're getting used to it. If you ever feel like playing it be sure to join a 3-6 map campaign with 12-20 players max on it, more will become unplayable in most cases. Oh, and my nick on there is rod, if you ever want to play me
  11. Which ones? Well I like Enemy Territory quite a lot. It's a free multi FPS based on RTCW, and a quite tactical one. Anyway, see new topic for more info
  12. I have my principles you know, I won't play a game developed by a country's army or another governemental/political/religious/etc insitution. Just wonder why the US army actually developed this, propaganda? Anyway I hope I'm right the US army made this, otherwise I'm making a big fool of myself
  13. Well, I don't wish to offended the great people at HG, but some of their forums are a good example of this, especially AoMH's. I post there twice a month but read them on a regular basis, and I've encountered lots of spam and flames. My fingers sometimes really itch to click the delete and ban button that's not there when browsing those forums Also depends on which public you have, older people are usually easier to handle.
  14. The science concerning prehistory was first established in the 19th century as a reaction against the Biblical interpretation. The most important sciences in this area were archeology and geology, of which Jacques Boucher de Perthes, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Georges Cuvier and Charles Drawin are the most important representatives. The human past can be divided according the following criteria: 1. Text Does a society have a written tradtion or not? Prehistory means societies or civilisations without any texts, ranging from the first humans until circa 3000 B.C. (in the Middle East), 2400 B.C. (Indus valley) or 58/57 B.C. (conquest of Gaul by Caesar). Protohistory is used for cultures not knowing how to write but are known by writings of other civilisations (eg. Greek texts about the Celts). 2. Technological evolution In the classical period a golden, silver, bronze and iron age was used (Lucretius). Evolution went regressive, meaning from good to bad. Since the 19th century three periods are used and evolution went progressive, from less good to good. The three period system, made popular by Christian Jens Thomsen: Stone age: period when weapons and tools were made of stone, bone or other materials. Little to nothing was known about metals. Bronze age: period when weapons and some tools were made of copper or bronze and when little to nothing was known about iron. Iron age: period when bronze was replaced by iron. These three periods can be divided in other periods: Stone age: Paleolithicum (early or old stone age), Mesolithicum (middle stone age) and Neolithicum (young or late stone age). There is also a Chalcolithicum (copper age), between the stone age and bronze age. 3. Economic evolution Three divisions: Hunters, Hunters/collectors, Food producing people. 4. Antropologic evolution For this theory a certain civilisation goes through several stadia. In respective order: Band: Less then 100 individuals, several core families living together. There is no leadership, nor specialisation (eg. no people who only make food or only look after the children). They are nomadic and live in temporary camps. Tribe: less then 1000 individuals. Known for the first cultures producing food. They are either nomadic or sedentary. No real leaders yet, rather temporary leaders. Hierarchy is based on age and sex. Chiefdom: 5000 - 20.000 or more individuals. Political power is centralised with a 'chief' (hereditary). The chief also has the religious power and usually a central temple or sacred place. The people are more specialised. State: not prehistoric, more then 20.000 individuals. The society is based on a class system, starting with peasants and the plebs, traders, priests and warriors, ending with the leading class or royal family. That's it, next one will be about the Flaura and Fauna during the prehistoric age.
  15. City: Maldegem Province: Oost-Vlaanderen (aka East Flanders) State: Vlaanderen (aka Flanders) Country: Belgiƫ (aka Belgium)
  16. That explains all those NATO problems, those guys are just playing games over here in Brussels Never played it nor willing to try it.
  17. Lets all do a rain dance Good luck though, I hope the fire will stop soon.
  18. Media Player for playing cds and winamp for mp3s. Also Quicktime and Real if you don't have any other choice.
  19. Because she's smarter then you Tim Hmm, I would buy a '64 Fender Jaguar, a Fender cyber twin amp, a Fender reverb tank and one of those nice Fender reissue reverb amps. Next to that probably a Mosrite guitar, a Gibson Les Paul custom (also a guitar), a Guild hollowbody jazz/rockabilly guitar, a Gibson firebird and a bunch of retro guitar effects. Then a nice Hammond organ with Leslie speakers, a fender bass guitar and amp and some other small instruments. Well that would be about 300.000$, the rest would be put on a bank account.
  20. Probably spending my time in a better way. (not wasting it to rediculous forums and crazy people on the net )
  21. I either keep them for myself, talk to my gf, my parents or best friend "Joe". Usually depends what it is and I rather solve problems on my own then asking someone to help me.
  22. Yep, the 120,000 refers the army of Cyrus. But the approximatly 1 million refers to the king's army. Of course it could have been the translation that is bad, I asume you've read the original version so you'll be right. Thanks for clearing that up about Xenophon.
  23. Thanks for clearing that up Ken
