Don't you remember all the promises about Vista and all the fancy changes etc? Not even half of those made it and we're using Win7 now... I suppose it'll get cut at the last moment for Win9... Maybe it'll be in Win10 or Win11 provided M$ is still functioning :)

Their games are mostly eye candy used to show off the engine... They make most of their money from selling the engine to other studios that use it to make good games...

I don't see the problem here... Just give tham a fake one... Just lookup one of McDonalds restaurants and use their address, ZIP code and phone number for all such transactions... Or you could even use one of their own stores... Or pick someone you don't like... It's not as if they can ask your for ID... They have to believe anything you say... Furthermore they don't care... If your ZIP checks out as valid I don't think the store employee would care if it's really your ZIP code...

Maybe someone should tell him that it's the GAMEPLAY that matters, not flashy graphics. I never did like Crytek's games because they felt more like tech demos that real games. Also, consoles have one more advantage. If I want to play a game I just stick the disk in and that's it. No worries if my drivers are current, or if my combination of mb+graphics would cause a problem etc. Also it's much cheaper to be a gamer on the consoles. Sure, the games are more expensive but ask yourself how often do you have to upgrade you machine? I did it every 6-12 months and each time i spend around $500 on it (new mb, new graphics and usually a new cpu) just so I could play the latest games with details on max

During NATO attack on Serbia a lot of decoys were used with surprising efficiency. Some of those were disused tanks with an oven inside them, some were fake air strips (surprising how they couldn't destroy an airport in Batajnica... but they did plow the land around it though), and some were fake radio dishes (they used to mount ordinary radios on top of poles... once the bombs hit it, they just mounted another one)... Also invisible planes are not invisible (proven by the pictures of F-117 which was shot down)... And also those 'smart' bombs managed to hit an entire street in Batajnica (no soldiers there), cover half of Nis with casette bombs, hit a convoy of refugees etc... This just goes to say that reliance on 'smart' weapons is not a good idea... If a blowup tank can fool it (or the operator) why use them?

This doesn't strike me as a smart backup solution... First, both facilities are in the US... Second thing is that in case one of them gets destroyed due to the terrorist attack, there would be no air travel... Also, what happens if both of them are destroyed? Since they both are in the USA there's no borders to cross which makes planning and coordinating attacks easier... If one one of them were, for example, in Europe or Puerto Rico (in case the US needs to control them both) it would be much harder to coordinate the attacks as the international lines are more heavily monitored and usually there are less legal hurdles to snoop on other countries... Of course if one of them gets destroyed in a terrorist attack this guy from Canada will hardly be able to help since the borders are likely to be closed...

You've only read the first sentence, haven't you? Also, I said that it's not likely for them to come after Serbian citizens for something like privacy rights. As long as you don't go into the US you should be fine. If you are that much of a thorn in their backside, then there's no country where you can hide. Even places like Russia or Cuba (no extradiction) are not safe. CIA will just kidnap you into US. Also, you're right on one thing. Dedicated hosting here is too expensive. That's why the company I'm working for is hosting it's site in US. PS As far as being eaten by the dark, it's not happening too much these days. Everyone can say or do pretty much what he wants.
