Its a truly great piece of freeware as the site says Thank you very much for downloading and using IrfanView. Since year 2003, IrfanView has over 1 Million downloads EVERY month!(counting 3-4 major mirrors) But reading the new notes this was a shocker: http://netzreport.googlepages.com/hidden_data_in_jpeg_files.html and to prove the point here is a female reporter who cropped her photos for the net and got caught out : http://www.geocities.com/cat_nude/ however the dangers are bigger than that particularly if GPS position is also recorded on your photos.

Good point gunnergoz

My very recent e-mail now gets this This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: dv*****@comcast.net SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection: host mx1.comcast.net [76.96.62.116]: 554 IMTA03.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net comcast 212.159.14.146 Comcast BL004 Blocked for spam. Please see http://help.comcast.net/content/faq/BL004 At least they have improved their interface for advising what to do. SO it appears they are blocking a major ISP because the previous 29 messages that got through have finally upset their spam blocker.

From ZDNET this welcome news. I suffer from IE only sites so the pressure to make these websites Standards compliant rather than M$ compliant is very welcome http://blogs.zdnet.com/community/?p=125&tag=nl.rSINGLE Substantially upgraded Irfanview 4.2 is available for download now. Its one i have used for years and of course is feree and not bloatware http://downloads.zdnet.com/

Set a game up and send me it - preferably CMAK. I am fully au fait with Helper : )

The good news - white space between radio and TV station broadcasts is to be opened up for internet use. I was amazed at this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7709775.stm Yet again a game with a Comcast subscriber comes to an abrupt halt as Comcast screw things up. Previously I have games screwed because Comcast decides m network has been used by spammers and bars me. Let me see 4th largest ISP in UK several million customers - spam! The new insult is having a file returned telling me my opponents address is terminally dead - followed a day or two later by him e-mailing me re-sending a turn. Not that I had not already re-sent the message using another ISP which elicited no message at all from Comcast leading me to believe it may have got through!!

GJK Oh yes Iraq numero uno world threat. How many billions has it cost so far? how many lives? Seems to me his idea was pretty smart compared to the alternative. Some ideas here from Wiki Financial costs with approximately $474 billion spent as of 12/07 the CBO has estimated the total cost of the war in Iraq to U.S. taxpayers will be around $1.9 trillion.[267] The 2006 Lancet survey of casualties of the Iraq War estimated 654,965 Iraqi deaths (range of 392,979-942,636) from March 2003 to the end of June 2006.[27][28] That total number of deaths (all Iraqis) includes all excess deaths due to increased lawlessness, degraded infrastructure, poorer healthcare, etc, and includes civilians, military deaths and insurgent deaths. 601,027 were violent deaths (31% attributed to Coalition, 24% to others, 46% unknown.) A copy of a death certificate was available for a high proportion of the reported deaths (92 per cent of surveyed households produced one.)[27][252] The causes of violent deaths were gunshot (56%), car bomb (13%), other explosion/ordnance (14%), air strike (13%), accident (2%), unknown (2%.) The survey results have been criticized as "ridiculous" and "extreme and improbable" by various critics such as the Iraqi government and Iraq Body Count project.[253][53][254] However, in a letter to The Age, published Oct. 21, 2006, 27 epidemiologists and health professionals defended the methods of the study, writing that the study's "methodology is sound and its conclusions should be taken seriously." An Opinion Research Business (ORB) survey conducted August 12-19, 2007 estimated 1,220,580 violent deaths due to the Iraq War (range of 733,158 to 1,446,063.) Out of a national sample of 1,499 Iraqi adults, 22% had one or more members of their household killed due to the Iraq War (poll accuracy +/-2.4%.)[255] ORB reported that 48% died from a gunshot wound, 20% from car bombs, 9% from aerial bombardment, 6% as a result of an accident and 6% from another blast/ordnance. It is the highest estimate given so far of civilian deaths in Iraq and is consistent with the Lancet study.[256][53] On January 28, 2008, ORB published an update based on additional work carried out in rural areas of Iraq. Some 600 additional interviews were undertaken and as a result of this the death estimate was revised to 1,033,000 with a given range of 946,000 to 1,120,000.[26]If Saddam had lived he would have been 70 this year - so how many lives are worth expediting regime change? The near $2trillion dollars could have built some pretty fine renewable energy plants and paid for Detroit to learn how to build frugal cars.

Probably losers like Ike and Kennedy

Must be something in the air. Lots of children, anti-abortion ..... And yea I do know it is Minnesota. Her opponent was cleared on the lobbying charge but is there anything else? But scumbaf Mahoney does get it : ) .

bugger Bachmann is back http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann what is it about Alaska? and Senator Dole got her comeuppance for advertising her opponent as non-Christian http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Democratic_challenger_to_North_Carolina_senator_Elizabeth_Dole_files_libel_lawsuit?curid=116027 that was a really lowblow

I have just shown the statesmenlike best bits. He was a class act until Palin. But she was probably minus votes with the needed centre. Nice guy.

Cutting Andreas, very cutting : )

I am sure that the vast majority of the world is thankful that America voted for Obama. In terms of good PR this is the best thing to happen for America Inc. for a long long time. Whether he will be able to walk on water, solve global warming and eliminate world poverty I doubt, a second term may be required. : )

Indeed an excellent reult with the mortar. The best I have managed are single kills with DF mortars. Generally I find I get an immobilisation. Things to look forward to in good freaky happenings: ATR taking out a MkIV .50 mG getting a MiIV to bail FlammpanzerII taking out a T34/85 head on : ) Killing a Sherman first shot at maximum Schrek range Three Churchills by a shreck team in 60seconds Churchill fighting a multi-shot duel with a Tiger at 80 metres and winning oh lots of fun happenings : ) Of course if you are the person on the other side .....

Nice posse joke : ) Raised a hoarse laugh here. I want to know what Emrys is thinking of to call pervert. Beats me : )

Perhaps you should set that gamey problem against the equally gamey one where even at short range you cannot tell if the enemy squad is 1 man or 10 and therefore needs must pour more fire than necessary into the target. Swings and roundabouts.

I read it first time but had seen similar before. Here is another: My grandmother died in 1975, but her birthday is coming up, and thatalways causes me to reminisce. The long walks we used to take to the store on Brunswick Street , the quarters she gave me for meaningless jobs like pulling weeds or washing the sidewalk... Those gems were all good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of grandmotherly advice, occurred when I was only about 10. We were sitting in a park having just finished collecting some 40 soda bottles for the deposit money on a beautiful spring day. She told me that one day, I would find a wonderful woman and start my own family. "And remember always this thing," she said. "Be sure you marry a woman with small hands." "How come, Grandma?" I asked her. She answered in her soft voice.."Makes your dick look bigger."

oops single post

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, 'You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.' Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, 'OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?' 'No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.' So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door and Tom Cruise shouts, 'Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!' Although impressed, Dave's boss is still sceptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky. 'No, no, just name anyone else,' Dave says. 'President Bush,' his boss quickly retorts. 'Yup,' Dave say's, 'Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington ' And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, 'Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up.' Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave , who again implores him to name anyone else. 'The Pope,' his boss replies. 'Sure!' says Dave. 'I've known the Pope for years.' So off they fly to Rome . Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican 's St. Peter's Square when Dave says, 'This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope.' He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican . Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony , but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, 'What happened?' His boss looks up and says, 'It was the final straw ... you and the Pope came out on to the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who the f***k is that on the balcony with Dave?'

Yep Cyprus is the place to be for rare Stens, Brens , and a .303 Lee-Enfield http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htproc/articles/20081027.aspx

The major issue in CMBO that is not easily worked around is the uselessness of HMG and MMG's both in tanks and in infantry models. I played probably getting on for 100 games and basically infantry was way under-suppressed and massed infantry would win battles. That tanks were easily confused just added to the mix. Let me see - CMAK the game after CMBB where the outrageous bogging was turned down, where the fortifications glitch was sorted, where gun penetration figures were correct, where the daft morale rule was ditched. I like to think CMAK is the one game in the series without serious flaws. Lets put it this way, I did not record my games prior to to June 2004 but since then I have played zero CMBO, 20 CMBB, and about 120 CMAK. I used to play more often prior to 2004 so I have played a lot of each game when it came out. CMAK is the best.

I can agree that planes are beyond control once bought however the trade-off that the enemy knows they will not appear and therefore buys no AA offends me. I prefer to leave planes as a possibility even though I would only rarely buy them. I DO know that adequate AA will negate aircraft over-modelled or not. High variance occurs throughout the game anyway. I have had a Sherman hit by a variety of 75mm and 50mm shots at 500 metres killing range - seven in one minute and survive. I have had tanks killed at over 1000metres with a single and only shot. I have had a T34 miss a side on MkIV with three shots at 80 metres - and then die. Nailed a Sherman at 1% with a 'shrek. Yep I think the whole game has a lot of variable results none of which the player can control. It will be interesting to see if anything bogs : )

What type of vehicle do you drive?

You really have to clear out after the double amputation : )
