Theres a website somewhere where it explains it all, the earlier Roman calendars skipped a few days and was in fact totally messed up until 8 AD when the leap years stopped over adding up. After Julius Caesar (I think) died it was mis interpereted and a leap year was added every 3 years instead of 4 so there have been a lot of revisions. Jesus was also born in 5 BC, go figures.ColCarnage wrote:

And they would still have to keep those convoys to and from Japan and Korea running through the whole war, distance is your biggest enemy. The US couldn't invade Japan in WW2 it would lose too much soldiers for it to be practical and the same would be with China, using nuclear weaponry would also be out of the question. In the case of the US using South Koreas bases to launch attacks this is where China would funnel troops to North Korea and assist them in any attacks upon the country. You cannot cross this off, it is how this works every action of the US's would be countered by a similar one from China just like the cold war USA vs USSR. And the Japanese people would have something to say about the US launching major attacks from Japanese land which would put them in danger just like the Italians did even during the Yugoslav war. The closest ally you might be looking at would be Australia due to ANZUS.nukchebi0 wrote:

I lived in the center of the city, 50 metres from my house is a destroyed buildings and across the road from that a destroyed TV Station. Such buildings can be found around the city, when these were hit the windows of my apartment were blown out. Don't always beleive what your politicians tell you especially during war, I prefer to see evidence then judge and I did see what was hit.
However, you did point out something interesting - that the air strikes were mostly aimed against Belgrade. I think we do find a parallel in history with Vietnam, where the US focused its strikes against cities. Naturally, until they literally carpet bombed Hanoi, the strategy wasn't too effective (as it likewise took a while to get anything achieved in Kosovo). However, it is highly unlikely that such a strategy would be employed against China. If you want a better historical indication of what the air power in use against China would be (assuming non-nuclear, of course) look to Iraq in 1991, or in 2003. Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world in 1991, with a tech level (relative to the era) near China's. We all know how quickly and efficiently they got destroyed. This repeated itself in the second attack; during the actual fighting against Iraq's army, there weren't that many causalities. China is much more like Iraq than Vietnam, and looking at the strategy used against Iraq would be the best idea when trying to predict how an invasion against them would function. I know China has SAM sites - but Iraq also had the best air defense grid in the world trying to defend Baghdad. It didn't get them very many kills, and didn't deny the USAF/USN operating area. The US didn't forget how to suppress enemy air defenses in the time its been mired in Iraq and Afghanistan.Considering that both South Korea and Japan are major US bases, I think you are underestimating their ability to provide a staging ground for both troops and supplies to any invasion. Its not as much of a logistical nightmare considering everything can be stockpiled there. And naturally, actually getting to mainland China would be very easy, because no invasion would be launched prior to securing naval and air superiority of the region. Considering the condition of China's navy, it wouldn't be the most difficult thing. And obviously, air superiority, as has been assumed throughout this argument, is incredibly easy to secure with F-22s. Yes, I do agree with the inability of South Korea and Japan as actual nations to invade, but that doesn't preclude the US from using them as territorial extensions.And South Korea and Japan both have a cross next to their names and would be incapable of launching attacks at China for different reasons, don't be silly. I also addressed the case of the US using Japan or South Korea as bases and would still require heavy logistical support and these too would only be staging points as any land invasion would have to follow through with supplies to mainland China.

The bombing of Serbia wasn't unrestrained. Its not like they were dedicating the full power of the USAF to pulverizing, nor were targets being hit indiscriminately. Nor, really, was the bombing of Vietnam, until Operation Linebacker. I don't think you can use those as predictors of a conflict with China.
Also, consider the Three Gorges dam projects, and the horrendous effect their destruction would have on all of China downriver from them. Additionally, the US has multiple allies next to China; both South Korea and Japan.

If you have a determined enemy fighting on their own soil you will run into a lot more problems then you might think. Lets take a look at the Kosovo war in 1999. While it ended up as a "victory" for NATO the Serbian army managed to withdraw holding a very very large part of its forces still intact after 70 days of bombing. The army which knew the terrain put vehicles and SAM sites in forests and mountains which made it close to impossible to be attacked. Ground invasions would have been met with heavy resistance and high casualties, none were attempted. The war was ended with the signing of resolution 1244, after heavy damage to Yugoslav industry and civilian infrastructure not military. In this we can see that a more advanced country then Vietnam suffers from bombing of industry even if the army is intact. Now lets say there is a war with China, you think that the US would be able to send an invasion fleet across the Pacific large enough to provide a fight against the Chinese army while keeping it supplied logistically.dayarath wrote:

Using a tactical nuke on a military target would not start a nuclear war.
First primary word being "tactical" tactical nukes are of low enough yield that they would only destroy the local area. Secondly, even a tactical nuke probably has a higher yield than any nuke developed 50+ years ago. Even without, have you ever been in a boat that gets hit by a massive gust or large wave? The number of injury's alone would force the attackers to withdraw.
You are talking about lots and lots of ships carrying tonnes of war supplies every day and if there were to be any interdiction to this it could possibly endanger the whole operation. So what would the US do? Like it always does, try to bomb their industry but im afraid this is no Yugoslavia and the Chinese would have a high amount of SAM Sites protecting these areas and any attempts could be met with high casualties. The Chinese navy at its current stance is in no way equipped to deal with a US surface fleet but still capable of inflicting some damage on those ships that are coming over and the same would go along with the Chinese air force. That is why you can rule out the USA invading China or vice versa happening. In the end you would have a bombing campaign in an attempt to destroy each others industry or what not. If the US had an ally next to China it might be a different story but if this war did happen I don't think there would be a Taiwan anymore, Japan is an option yes but they are restricted to defensive operations only, and supplies would still have to be moved in.
Too long a post yes, a lot of maybes, this is what I believe would be the most likely scenario. You cant move millions and millions of soldiers which is what the US would need into China, why did I mention Kosovo, to prove that air power alone would inflict little damage on the army but could instead be used on bombing of the Industry. Then again this whole subject is pretty defunct from the start China and the US are huge trading partners and I don't foresee anything happening in the nearby future.

An aircraft wont land unless a pilot inputs the controls for an auto landing AKA ILS using the APP switch for autopilot. Doing a fly-by and a landing are two totally different things and no pilot is stupid enough to use the autopilot on a fly-by the airplane didn't know what the pilot was doing and it cant force the pilot to land or do anything else unless it puts the aircraft in a danger situation. The pilot could have also used the TO/GA switch to get the aircraft out of any cycle it was in or could have shut off the autopilot (if it was on) fly by wire does not control the aircraft in the case of a landing thats the autopilots job. And who the heck revived this topic AGAIN. I thought we got to the point where we all agreed that both aircraft manufacturers are same probability for crash is the same and ends on pilot quality/ ATC/ Maintenance. Full stop Lowing I think you were fighting a stupid point saying the fly by wire was forcing the aircraft to land on a small strip. Aircraft have GPS systems, GPS systems have measurements in runway size etc. The APP switch has to be on with the Autopilot on with the Altitude and Heading switches off and the Nav switch on with the course and Nav frequencies set to make an aircraft attempt to land by itself.

I don't know how much of you know of this song but the actual name of it is Lilly Marleen. It was very popular around the time of WW2 loved by Allied troops and used by Axis troops, for it is a story of a woman who loses her lover in a war. This was used by German forces when invading cities occasionally, I believe the song however originates from about WW1 and was only sung by the said singer. So what does this song mean to you? Does it share any significance in your life or a person you knows life? When I was young and growing up I used to get told by my grandparents all about it, (WW2) their stories etc. One story that was told to me by my grandmother and her sister was when they were in school and had to host a formal. This being in Serbia the Germans being the enemy and my grandmother having lived in Australia for a while before didn't know that this song was disallowed to be played. She ended up getting busted by the principle big time, she ended up being a teacher ha. Other then that to me the song with the video in the background shows the German troops being just like any others. The SS were at the beginning of the war the elites, they were supposed to protect Hitler. As it went on the SS just turned out to be another failure of ground infantry as they started cramming everyone in there. It also shows that the Germans/Nazi's that we all think were mindless murderers there is something behind them made of flesh and bone. Note im talking of the troops which didn't massacre civilians those that did deserved what they got and I am fully aware that the Germans massacred the Jews. This however cannot be blamed on every single troop... I guess this is the point im trying to get across. Most people which I would consider ignorant quickly boycott anything that has to do with Nazi's/Japanese/Axis powers in general before even thinking of it. IE all the troops deserve to die yada yada, what we must remember is that most of these troops thought that they were doing their country service and time and that it was a respectable war... not quite respectable at the end. In my country the Germans imposed a rule, for every Nazi killed on our soil they would murder 100 civilians. They did so, this is the more darker aspect of the war I guess not all troops participated in this. Not saying that it has 100% relevance but this can quite relate to the war in Iraq (minus the intentional civilian killing) but the US is seen as the bad guy and the ignorants are those saying that the Government and the Troops are to blame.
What does this video or this song make you feel? Does it make you think about the war? Does it make you see in different perspectives?

Zeller is harder to use then any other sniper rifle. 3 bullets only 3 kills before reloading or 1 kill and a damage. Moretti/Park 5 bullets 5 kills or 2 kills and 1 damage. Zeller also has a red scope makes it harder to see and the SR4 is as accurate as the Zeller. With snipers bullets mean everything myself I always go for headshots and nothing less.

Marine you will agree with me on what war is about. Its about putting up a bunch of sand bags and camping all fucking day waiting for something to happen. You get sent out to a bullshit report by the time you get there the place is blown to shit and there are no terrorists visible. You did GW1 that had a lot of friendly fire air vehichle inflicted damage most soldiers saw jackshit action because of the use of aircraft. I know there was some such as the blackhawk down operation. I am also aware there were two parts of that. Desert Storm and Desert Shield Right? One of the operations lasted for a few days, no I did not get these facts from jar head thankgod even though it really explains war better then most. They train the US troops to try to kill without fear feel no pain and be cold hearted. When they dont see action they just shoot up shit for the fun of it (some do) it would drive one crazy to learn for so so long wait for so long and in the end never get any action.usmarine2007 wrote:

As to other 2 replies, I see you take ignorance greatly there I don't know what it is that set me apart from most people you know it could be growing up in a country where war was an everyday thing it could be that I got a long with muslims and people from other countries when I was young even though we were figthing each other but some of you really take ignorance to the next level. When the first bullet flies by my head? Well sorry thats not the way a war is thought, it was more like im sitting out in a resteraunt or in my house and a few kilometres away or just up the road a cruise missle hits a civilian building or a bridge. Or even better an unguided bomb with a high radioactive yield falls somewhere near my house. Radiation we got a shitload of it not only were we bombarded in the 80's by acid rain from the Chernobyl incident my relatives got extra radiation from all the other bombs. Thats pretty much 2 Decades of nuclear toxins above the safety levels this effected the civilians but not the troops far away.
Who you see is a sniper or two people using a gun with 1 bullet per shot 1 target per shot 1 hit per shot. They are not inflicting damage on the civilians they are not causing an act of terror, this is to the person that was able to refrain from insulting me in an ignorant post thankyou. As I was saying I dont suggest you go fight for what you beleive in if you are the agressor. That is a big no no you will get a larger resistance as the US forces are experiencing now, fighting a war on terror is useless its like fighting a whole country. Every time a civilian dies because of an American Bomb a Stray American Bullet or even an Iraqi bullet the US Soldiers get the blame. Why? because they are inflaming the area, these soldiers (not always purposefully) are inflaming an area which was somewhat quiet and once again causing conflict. The US government took 20 billion US dollars from Iraq which they would use to repair Iraq improve hospitals etc. Nice eh? Actually no the 20 bullion US that was given to the US was wasted some of it disappeared into no where. There is a hospital in a city 100 miles outta Baghdad which the US used 100 million dollars to repair and add in a new block. That would be a nice looking hospital right? Wrong the sewerage system doesn't work water has leaked through the floor into 1 operating theatre (health standards dangerous) some of the tiles which were refurbished are worse then before pretty much the thing has to go into service in 2 days and it cant pass a Health and Safety standard test. You being an Iraqi would like to say where the fuck has our money gone.
From the view of most the US has not helped Iraq at all and continuing from before every time a civilian dies his family or friends will stand up to the US reigeme and fight it. It is an everyday civilian it is dangerous to go to the local mall etc because of the probability of a gunfight or a bomb. Was this happening as much before the US? No so who would be to blame. You are living in a somewhat peaceful environment as long as you dont stir shit up with the government you would be fine. US comes in, cruise missle bombings civilian deaths sky rocket its not safe to go outside etc etc. Many would find the problem being the US the US came to their homeland and changed THEIR governmeny with a PUPPET government and ruined THEIR PEACE. They of course will fight the US since they would seem to be the problem.
The sniper you see is one of many soldiers if you asked me right now I would respect a German Trench soldier as much as a British, French, American, Japanese, Russian, Australian, Candadian.... list goes on soldier. Many people are judging soldiers by what country they come from. In reality they are all just doing their job, of course I would not have respect from a soldier from any of those countries if he wasn't staying within the law, but if that man is brave enough to go out and fight no matter what his chances are I respect them. Many people are into this gaming mentality yeah war isn't that bad I mean anyone can go there you die and in 15 seconds you respawn Right Right Right????? If only war was such. You only get 1 shot at life and these people are putting that 1 shot to stick up and fight for whats right. Of course the role of Agressor and Defender changes but sides would have equal respect but a country can be an Agressor to start but becomes a Defender at the end. Germany in WW2 is a good example. This soldier is fighting as a Defender he is putting his life on the line Defending what he beleives is true. The US and the coalition of the willing are the Agressors they are trying to take this mans freedom. I think some people here take Bush's speaches too seriously. It is not you are with us or you are with them. In the real world things arent black and white, there are shades of many beautiful colours .
I therefore stand on the line he is not an Agressor, He is not killing civilians, He is fighting for what he beleives. Sure that is fine for me I will call him respectable even if he is using a sniper rifle. The US role they are an Agressor but are fighting as a Defender, They are not intentionally killing civilians, Some are fighting for what they beleive in. My respect will vary from soldier to soldier those that beleive in the Iraq war would have my full respect even if I don't. I mean if they beleive in the cause that much to risk their life. Go for it. Both are soldiers one Doesn't follow orders the other's do. The ones that do follow orders of course must follow them or face being thrown into jail they would probably be more disciplined my respect would stay the same. Uniform doesn't change Terrorist from Friendly they don't walk around the streets like civvies (this one doesnt) in one of his video's he is clearly seen walking around in a camo and wearing a face mask. In no war a disguise not to forget the large sniper rifle he is holding. Anyone that would call this guy a pussy would also call a US sniper a pussy their roles are the same. Kill the enemy and don't let him kill you.
To the rude poster, thanks for voicing your concern however if you weren't as ignorant as fuck and read the whole posts I made you would understand I support both soldiers. So I will easily say stick it up your ass you got a problem PM me rather then just prove you didn't read the whole post to all the other users and face a ban. I don't bite and can be quite nice to talk to () as long as you aren't racial at least not in my presence. I lived in a country that got fucked up by that. If I could make a request to the admins not to ban this person, his oppinion is his I take constructive criticism on the chin even if it was more of an insult.
The US army does that its called mercenaries what someone wears doesn't matter. Military clothing was made to show friend from foe and to strike fear into people. If I saw someone walking down the road in a grey uniform wearing a swasticka in the 40's I would be afraid. So if I were to rebel against the person who was opressing my country I'd be a terrorist. Sadly I well know the definition of terrorism/terrorist. Terrorism is an act of purposely striking fear into civilians to try to force a decision or to do something they don't want. AKA blowing a large hole in a building then telling everyone to elect this governemnt or more attacks would happen. The US government is doing exactly this but they are saying the Iraqi's will cause more attacks instead of them. Bullshit they are the ones inflaming the region. Tell me when you pass logic 101 why uniforms dont defy people as being terrorists and get back to me. He is fighting in his country for his country.buLLet_t00th wrote:
What you meant to say was 'read MY POSTS before posting'. If the US Army wore civillian clothes, blended in with civillians I think you'd have a problem with that, wouldnt you? The Iraqi government (although shite) isn't at war with America, its a minority of people who feel that its there hjob to kick the US out. Their country's leadership has a completely different view to them and therefore he's a terrorist. Go look up all the definitions and explanations of a terrorist and....oh look....he would be classified as a terrorist! I thought everyone was talking about honour.....so clearly defined sides through the use of uniforms wouldn't be honourable? Sometimes I really dont understand you guys......!spray_and_pray wrote:

He's neither insane... he is very rational in his job .
Has anyone seen Enemy at the Gates, I suppose its kind of like that. Its propoganda for the masses of ignorant Islamic followers, nothing more. How does anyone know thats one person taking all those shots? Have you personally met this retard?
Isn't it also possible to reformat using Windows?
Following that logic all of people in America are fucking cowards for dropping bombs anhilating families killing wimen and children purposely attacking civlian targets (other wars) to decrease moral etc etc. Is it true fuck no, you people watch too much god damned movies war isnt about hero's its about killing people killing people isnt heroic or honorable. It is the greatest point of human degredation possible if I may quote a troop in Iraq "Nothing good has ever come from killing someone" this includes everyone ever killed in the world. You kill 1 and you anger 2 or more. When most people join the rest of us in the REAL WORLD us being those who have served or lived through a war tell me how heroic the soldiers were that were bombing your houses killing and raping people then get back to me.Sisco10 wrote:

I find that is more honourly of those IED attacks on running humvees and troops.... the soldiers can defend theirselves from a sniper , but not from a bomb under their feet.
If the American crusade is just or not may be decided by everyone for himself, but as far as I can see, there is no friggin honor in this "sniping".
It´s just a bum with a gun. Let´s see how "honorable" he is, when he shot down your brother, dad or husband.
Ofcourse my statement saying ALL people who serve are cowards there are hero's in war they are spread far and wide but they are there. There's also the common people just going through it so they can pay for their families bills etc. Some people are forced into war and have to kill. Such is the situation with many troops they are just basically following orders. The government is at fault, even though it makes me feel sick Juba has more justification to hide where ever the fuck he wants and kill any agressors he sees. To him the US troops are enemies invading his countries stealing his resources and throwing Iraq into poverty. Im not trying to say what he is doing is right because it is not, but that guy has more balls then anyone that has written anything so far. He has actually picked up arms and is fighting the people who he thinks are the problem. Most of us cannot get the courage to talk to our boss about that raise or that promotion this guy is taking up a gun and fighting for what he beleives. Fuckin A he is a hero to most, I would say he is a hero just like any other troop out there risking their lives no matter on what side they are. If you can pick up a gun and fight for what you beleive your better then most of us on this world.
My comment on the US was based at the government not at the troops who have my full support. Like I said many are working for family or for college or because they simply have no where else to go. My writing might gramatically incorrect but for that I don't care. This all came of the top of my head but you have to be a moron not to get the point (not directed at you) but at everyone else out there. If you read my post before this I wouldn't have to repeat myself.
Or I can just throw it outta the window for laughs.... Maybe not... Setting it on fire would be much more amusing and harmful to me ..... Then again it was $150 AU.... sigh.MagikTrik wrote:

Its a sniper tactic to injure your enemy and cause more to come to their aid. That or he wanted to give them a lot of pain by shooting them in the guts. It would kill them in 20 minutes or so, this goes for if they were shot in the liver. Use this as a mental note once you start bleeding outta your mouth your fucked and no one can help you. Bullets dont always put people down they can critically injure them or cause a lot of pain and give slow death. Even though I commented he was a shit aim before it seems he has some skill there with the painful shots. Note he gets all the guys in the HMMWV's in the head he could easily do the same to infantry.Bernadictus wrote:

And flying at 30 000 feet watching through an aimpeice where no one else can get you is not? Or shooting a missle from hundreds of miles away? Its war, theyre not ment to be full of heroism or bravery. Some people watch too much movies. The point of war is kill the enemy without dying no matter what you gotta do. If capture is inevitable you kill yourself just so you dont endure torture. However there are hero's in war this is somewhat rare. They are the people that run in no matter what and risk themselves. If you were in a war would you rather die or stay alive or is that a too stupid question to think of or even answer.Cougar wrote:

I dunno if he is just lucky or really skilled most of his targets are getting away after being shot. It seems he likes to aim for the Belly region. This could be the most painful if it splits most any internal organ around there a person will die by his own body acids eating at his other organs. He can be doing this to A Cause pain B attract other soldiers to the wounded one C He just sucks at shooting. No matter what it is both sides do this kind of sniping one side is even more cowardly clearing whole blocks with large bombs also killing civilians. To most Iraqi's this guy is a hero. To me he is just another person in the world just like any troop. However to governments troops are seen as liabilities they are just numbers and nothing more. Lets hope for a quick withdraw done by US forces eh.
Edit* HDD is samsung my bad..... too used to my old f*cked up baracuda.
After running desktop tools my HDD failed to pass the tests it said if any files are missing I should immediately stop using the HDD and transfer off everything important. Thats when I remembered that I did miss some files (i thought it was a virus) it however did say that if it was caused to an incorrect startup defrag or scndsk will help. I tried both Scan Disk blocks at 60% and Defrag blocks at 60% analyzing. Not good.

Well as some of you might know I bought a new PC on the 3rd/1/07 so far its been running great. Yesterday it didn't want to boot windows, I had to use the windows disk and enter the command scandsk to check my hard drive as well as running a fix boot. The fix boot didn't help so I did the scan disk. It found an error said some other crap I restarted and windows loaded blazing fast. Great I thought, so I ran another scan disk on startup (this time without CD) its been on 60% for about 3 hours without budging. The HDD I have is a 300GB Seagate SATA II 7200RPM with a 8 meg cache. Will I have to return it to the manufacturer (netplus (where I got it) has a return policy within 3 days of purchase.) What is the return to manufacturer policy on HDD's after 30 days? Ive never had to return anything I ever bought with a PC for the last 9 or so years ive been using them. Is there a way to fix this problem or is it a hardware error.
Was watching a program on racism yesterday... SBS (aussie TV) where a group of people met half were foreign the other half were American or Australian. The lady asked them to describe their eyes. When one man said that someone had Brown Attentive _______ (forgot) eyes someone stood up and said why the heck do you do that all the time. The woman running it scolded him for saying Brown Eyes and he was at least 50 or 60. Coming from a country that was and still minorly is in a war because of conflicts in place of birth/religion I just thought they were fucking stupid. Brown its a describing word and a colour. You know those kind of people make the rest of their race look stupid especially after a few of them got emotional over it. I felt like cracking up but thought they might have serious issues. Anyone else see this and react the same way as me?
I said C2D's outperform AMD's and I HAVE used a C2D PC and slightly regret not making the change to intel. P2's I was replying to Pollux from my knowledge of intel I was not comparing it to a C2D. Anyone else wanna cry some more about this post?
AMD owns ATI, ATI is releasing a card which will lead the market in 2 or so months. I doubt AMD will see a downfall anytime soon.

Oh really go study up on AMD AM2 sockets and come back proving me wrong. AMD will not die "sigh" im slightly biased towards them but not enough to show total ignorance. Of course the C2D's are better because of their high Cache sizes and better architecture. What you are referring to is the P4 netburst architecture (peice of shit) and I think I read somewhere that in the name 3000+ etc it was saying its performance compared to a P4. 3000+ being the same as a P4 3.0GHZ. Someone correct me if im wrong here I read that when I had my 2500+ (supposedly an overclocking beast I could only put it up 100MHZ (shit mobo). For every new CPU intel releases they make a new socket. C2D is 775 you P4 is _____ the P3 is ______ the P2 is_____ that reminds me the CPU placement in a P2 mobo is funny as those big ass heatsinks crack me up.Fancy_Pollux wrote:
spray_and_pray, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I highly suggest that anyone in the market for a new CPU ignore his posts. Back in the days of the P4 and Athlon XP/64 (first generations), Intel CPUs had very poor core architecture and had to make up for it with insanely high core clocks. AMD's core clocks were far lower, yet continued to compete because they were able to handle more operations per clock cycle than P4s. At this time, AMD chips were the best bang-for-the-buck out there. Because of this, AMD was able to compete with Intel despite their small market share.spray_and_pray wrote:
If you buy an AMD chipset you have opened a path for expansion AM3 can be used in an AM2 socket. Whoever said AMD is done hasn't heard of the Barcelona CPU's coming out. If the 6000+ is like the FX-74 (isnt that AMD's quad core CPU which beat the C2D's?) I wouldn't be worrying about it. Intel just built their CPU's in a bad way they just stuck as much cache as possible instead of going forwards more into the future and giving em memory.
Now, the roles have been reversed. The C2D architecture is FAR superior than anything AMD has out, or will have out in the foreseeable future. So, AMD is now trying to crank up their core clocks as high as possible to try and compete with Intel's superior C2D architecture. The result? A more expensive CPU with INFERIOR performance.
The Conroe, and its successors to be released this year, from a completely unbiased consumer perspective, is the beginning of the end for AMD. AMD does not have a competing product anymore. Their CPUs are inferior in both price and performance. And, as it historically has been, AMD still only retains a small share of the CPU market. Without a "bang-for-the-buck" CPU that kept them alive during the P4 era, AMD is surely doomed. That said, I hope AMD comes out with a competing product soon, because a monopoly would be extremely bad for the consumer.
Ive had a P2 PC and that was the last Intel computer I ever bought. That was like in '99 or so it ran half life good . Maybe you should learn what you are on about, i doubt you can be taken seriously after all your bullshit posts. Enjoy.

I had a M16-A4 that I fired a bad round out of that blew the mag out, and bent the ejector well out of wack(i.e. 90degree angle), it went to the armory for 2 days and I took it to the range and was shooting 1in groups with it(yes I had a ACOG). If you clean the M-16 its a great fucking weapon, if you don't....
its your ass Mr. Postman. The same goes for any weapon. We found AK-47s in Iraq that were so fouled up they wouldn't shoot!!! The only weapon I found in Iraq that would shoot with no cleaning, caked with sand, and bad rounds, was a German Mauser K-98(bolt action) with Nazi markings on it from 1943.

That by far is not the Best CPU it is AM2 but so is the FX-62 they both have the same compatibility clock speeds mean jack shit if the rest of the CPU build isn't good. An FX-62 is 100 or more dollars cheaper and only 200MHZ of the 6000+ stock speed. Looking at the 6000+ 64 X2 makes my 3800+ 64 X2 look small.
