Wondering if the Soviets received such as lend-lease and other supplies from the Allies during WW2 via the Pacific? I understand they received considerable via the Baltic - but have never heard any references to the Pacific. Did Japan interdict supply? Were Soviet ports insufficient...

Such information as: Average model geometry - unit/building/terrain. Skin resolution - unit/building/terrain. Pallete/color system. File format. I for one would like to start work on a few units to give something of a head-start on modding. With the above information, people can start...

Weather = cool - summer/winter for a WW2 scenario, and :D adding a monsoon season to a Vietnam War scenario. Keeping in mind that the simulated time-length of a turn is almost irrelevant - 1 week/10years, in such am abstract, weather, likewise, can be as relevant over, for instance, a 6...

Can't find the site, or a any downloads - can anyone point me in the direction?

Since the AI in Civ3 seemed to have no idea - but the non-affective blurb in diplomacy - I'm wondering if it will work. I'm currently playing Civ3, I nuked the heck out of the naughty Russians, but they keep on coming - they have no concept of the potential for destruction - thus, Nukes in...

:sad: Almost 4 years now I've wading through red tape and disproving bogus accusations. People cry foul, and sexual bias in Family Court - but I've never seen any. Although there most definately is bias against the non-custodial parent. What does seem to be increasing certainty - that to...

Have the Moderators been on holiday these last few days?

:) Hoping someone could point me in the direction of some non-fundamentalist links to sites or studies on the burden of taxation/government/social financial burden on citizens. I understand there are a number of considered studies which look at a number or most nations globally. :) Help...

Iran wants nuclear power, and fuel, obviously. Attached, a poll: Do you think Iran should be allowed nuclear fuel? If not, why not? And, especially, in consideration of the number of other nations with nuclear power/fuel - many of whom do not have very nice human rights records, or any...

MY INTEREST Manipulation via mass-media is of interest to me - most recently with regard to the manipulation of minors. Frankly, I think it foul. OBSERVATION However, recently, and which may well have been obvious to others, I am interested in what appears to me a significant rise in the...

Since I've been trying to locate some maps - and having come across a net source for them, I am again frustrated. The maps are certainly 'public domain' - they are not covered by copyright, and no copyright's are allowable. The source I have located prevents copy and paste of the images -...

Of all the inappropriate and spurious transactions made by the west in developing countries over the past four decades, the 14million pound investment in a chlorine factory at Falluja, Iraq, in 1985 stands out as particularly ill-advised. Built by Uhde Ltd… the project was underwritten by the...

That is, MX404 video drivers 66.93 and the Unified Drivers for nForce2 vers. 66.93? :p Only, I'm having trouble now getting C3C to work - it doesn't :p work prior to installing these, but I was wondering if I was 'barking up the wrong tree' since the video 66.93 installation 'broke' PtW and...

Why? Because: 1. People seem so hooked on the 'Reds under the bed' myth that they appear unable to consider the form without erronous and emotive - such as 'Communism killed millions of people'. All the while such forms as Capitalism which might similarly be attributed are conveniently...

Say there was some trustworthy way to pay the money, which is then used to pay a FireAxis programmer to modify the game - up to 3 months work. 1. Would you pay? - enter yes/no into poll. 2. What 5 changes would you want? - be realistic, no 3D globes and remember, up to 3 months...

:) I've read it, but can neither remember the title, the author, nor even the publisher! The story is of a 'starship' that somehow comes to be marooned in an alternate universe 'bubble' - a miniuniverse around a lowlight star. Curious to this universe are 'flying trees' which float...

I can't work out the issue here - though it's to do with upsampling to RGB then back again to 256 indexed. As soon as RGB is introduced regardless of going back to 256 I get the artifacts shown in the top pic. I conformed the magenta/invisible to original, and the image did not change...

08/06/2004 09:32 AM - Reuters China has issued new rules to rein in digital filmmakers, some of whom have screened politically taboo home videos on the Web and shown documentaries exposing social ills at film festivals abroad. The regulations, published in a circular by the State...

Sometimes I get really excited and start TROLLING! :mad: Most often it's 'accidental' ;) Like 'friendly fire' :) Other times it's the end of a long day and I've run out of 'chillpills' and I really shouldn't be on the forum. Sometimes :mischief: the troll starts and innocent bystanders...
