[quote]Well I found out you can type ren_UI to disable the user interface but it's not possible to get it back then. Since the code is already there can we have a key assigned to enable/disabling UI so It can be used as a temp fix.[/quote] you can, just open the console again and either blindly write ren_UI again, or just press the error up key and press enter

you see damage of minions, but they have a set minimum amount of damage threshold so only damage higher than I think ~40 is shown, this prevents you from seeing many small numbers when rook shoots with his archer towers for example.

I've never had a game where the losing side got more favour points yet so this must have been a weird game (seriously 2 demigod deaths in total, was it domination?) and upgrading the citadel isn't the only thing you can do for teamplay (and in fact there is a favour reward to the guy who spent most money on citadel upgrades)

I am sure co-op missions like Tower defense or maybe even some RPGish maps (comparable to those in starcraft or warcraft III) will be made by modders.

Kr3v, Nightmare AIs get double XP and Money so its not surprising that rook gets to level 20 a lot faster than you (that the other AIs didn't get to level 20 so fast is likely because their AI is worse than rooks AI) and that he owns you at level 20 is not very surprising either.

[quote]Jews are not the problem. nazism is. And befoer some twit goes invoking Godwin's law, the simple fact remains. A major aim of Nazism was the erradication of Jews. Apparently, it did not die with the Third Reich, but was just smuggled out to other countries - under the watchful - and approving - eye of the UN[/quote] anti-semitism is no invention of the Third Reich but a ill mind set which is much older, so no it wasn't smuggled out from the UN (you must really hate the UN)

Israel has all rights to defend it self and attack the hamas in gaza , but they aren't doing themselves a favour by pissing of the Red Cross and not caring about civilian losses or at least really pretend to care about civilian losses. They will have a few months rest after the attack and then it will start again, like it did dozen times before. The Problem is that any military action which would minimize civilian losses would increase the short-time losses on side of the israel army

Strategy : Master of Orion I and II and Homeworld Cataclysm (didn't like Homeworld 2 too much) Flightsimulators : Wing Commander 1 and Tiefighter with the 2 mission packs. Privateer 1 and 2 are pretty good too, if you want to take a look at a bit more modern games there is also Starlancer and Freespace2.

don't get me wrong I, wouldn't like to live their either - I just find the argumentation "USA elected a 'socialist', now it will fall down and a(nother) socialist country will become new superpower" a bit strange. And that it works great is not really true either, 10% growth is impressive , but you shouldn't forget that its 10% of a very low level.

skyrocketed is the wrong term I think, 10 to 15% annual growth is nothing too spectacular for a 3rd world country. They were smart enough to improve their educational system in the recent years a lot but it will take 30 to 50 years before that pays of on a large scale and there is only so far you can get without a high skilled population, even with abundant resources and shamelessly infringing patent laws and copyright. Even in absolute numbers it doesn't look so impressive they got a

[quote]Anyway when our costs are double that of every other developed country in the world and we're the only ones with a health insurance industry along with health insurance costs forced to be a part of employee compensation then it's reasonable to assume some cause and effect here.[/quote] We have a insurance based system in germany as well and have much lower costs than in the USA (both absolute and as share of GDP), but higher costs then many with a universal health care system.

[quote]This "If you are rich and have a serious disease, the US health care system is the best in the world" argument might be true but it has one flaw: Nobody prevents rich people of any other country to get treatment in the USA (unless they are seen as Terrorists or Criminals maybe) [/quote] [quote]I don't see the problem with that, though. If they can afford it, and the American system can handle the small extra load of foreign patients, then it doesn't really hurt anyone.

Sorry I used the wrong word, didn't mean caverns but exploited natural gas reservoirs, the amount of CO2 is way too big for artifical storages. there are indeed many ways to capture CO2, here in germany we already have some 10 MW testing power plants where several approaches are tried one if it is putting the CO2 into exploited gas reservoirs, another injecting it into the ocean (which is probably a bad idea in my opinion). And as you have a lot of coal in the USA it might be cheaper

[quote]It would be impossible to copy such a system in the US, as (even ignoring other cost-increasing factors such as massively larger scale, poor diet and lifestyle, etc) we don't have a magic money well that lets the government operate at a massive surplus; the only way to pay for it would be through back-breaking tax rates.[/quote] it would be impossible to implement a health care system which has much lower cost per capita than the current one you have in the USA? <

Maeas, carbon sequestration is a nice concept but the "problem" with it is that at the time it will be technically possible on a large scale (10 years minimum), most renewable energy forms will be already cheaper than carbon sequestration, which also reduces the efficiency of coal plants by about 20% to 30% , it might be still useful on some locations where big caverns are nearby though. the price trend of fossil fules is rising, the one of renewable energies is falling (wind energy a

even if the their record of past events is true, what is the base for their predictions? You seem to want 100% proof (somethink which doesn't even exist in science, nor in many other fields like in jurisdiction) for things which differ from your opinion and accept every graph which shows your view of the world without any underlying theory or proof. And seriously if we provided you with "proof" from a lawyer you surely would accept that as scientific sound, right? I have seen enough sceptics
