Go APE

Aren't your apes smaller than 700kb?

Why not go and buy some floppy disks, they cost practically nothing. Although saying that most of my floppies are old MS-DOS and PC-DOS install/upgrade disks with a few old driver disks mixed in.

EDIT: Cool, simultaneous posting 🙂

Sure if you tell me where to get floppy disks at 1:00am? 🙂

well i dunno about you europeans

but in the great country of america, you would hop in your SUV, drive on the wonderfully paved highways(sarcastic) and pop into the local Wal-Mart

🙂 i love it here 🙂
Everyone should move to america, it would make things so much better
:-D


(that was a sweet simoutanious posting; i kept trying to refresh the main forum window cuase it should have said my name!

Karnov: actually for those exact same reasons I think people should not move to the US. Living in small cardboard houses all built next to eachother in giant suburbs, connected to everything through nicely paved highways, the nearest shop a 10min drive away. During the day you spend your life in a cubicle totally devoid of any natural light whatsoever, for something you don't really care about anyway in the greatest oligarchy (capitalism) since ancient Rome.

i wouldnt know about cubicles yet, im just in high school

and if there is anything ive learned in said high schools, it is that capitilism is good and idealistic 'ism's that *sound* good, are indeed actually bad


(damn commies)

:P

(you sound like you harbor a lot of resentment towards the US. or maybe im just a big ol' xenophobe :P)

and if there is anything ive learned in said high schools, it is that capitilism is good and idealistic 'ism's that *sound* good, are indeed actually bad

And there we have it. 'damn commies', capitalism is good. And the US is the best thing to happen to the world since WW2 right?
Ugh.

Like Iraq isn't at all about oil, but about spreading *cough* democracy around.

A good question... how can capitalism be fair when there are people who own billions of dollars? How can you own something that is worth more than a person's entire salary over his entire life? And isn't capitalism just an oligarchy where the masses don't seem to mind their disadvantage because of the high standard of life? And who says capitalism would work if it was spread to the rest of the world? I mean a lot of industries depend on third-world countries' cheap labor market to produce cheaply and massively.

So yes, I do harbour a lot of resentment against the US, but I know damn well why. And please don't reply with 'without the US you'd all be speaking German!' crap, because that's exactly the things you shouldn't get spoonfed in school.

Please do not start an america good/bad discussion. I will get banned from the forums if it happens because I *H-A-T-E* america in the same way as satan hates god. I've already written several pages into this box and deleted them in restraint.

(note: I hate the government and the countries 'ideals', not the people who live there)

Stick to talking about APEs please.

I think any mod who deleted a well-informed, non-insulting discussion about politics is wrong. Granted it might be off-topic, but then again if we'd delete *everything* non-AVS/Winamp we'd have to be ultra-strict.

I don't 'hate' the US like Jheriko describes his feelings, but I do think they're doing something fundamentally wrong. And I don't hold US-citizens personally responsive for that, but I do think that they should be aware of what's going on rather than swallowing what the US media says. Things like 11 september seemed to make the US go 'what's wrong with the world' rather than 'what's wrong with us?', which indicates a serious problem in the masses' self-relativation abilities.

Anyway I won't post anymore about this, so I hope we can leave it like this without unnecessary deletes. After all, a mod may have power, but we're the ones who stick around and make use of the forums daily to stay in touch with eachother 😉. I do agree on banning warez or illegal things because it can get Nullsoft into trouble, but politics is not taboo.

Okay, i didn't have things deleted by a mod, i spent ages typing into the 'your reply:' box and deleting what I had typed because it just made me realise that i have really strong beliefs about american involvement in world politics and that I shouldn't go spouting off on these forums about politics since that isn't what they are here for. I did go spouting off on the general discussion forum once about this topic (hence my large number of posts) and it just got really carried away to the point where the thread was going to be closed. I'm sorry if I killed the 'conversation' but I think it is best anyway since a lot of people have strongly conflicting views about these things and discussing them only gives us cause for animosity.

Thank you for respecting my request.
