Could you make an alternate login with different language settings? Or do you require XP in particular?

Also, I was under the impression file extensions were the same globally. Is that correct, Kate?

Aaah Para, could we list all the Christian-Christian battles in Europe over the last millennium? 'cause Christianity is a religion of peace. (It's not a lot of course, the 100 years' war, war of the roses, both world wars and a few hundred others.)

Yes, but non-english versions of things like windows will include things like Cyrillic letters so that, for example, a mod folder on my drive has a file called 'ÃƒÅ¡j BitkÃƒÂ©p.bmp' This causes big BIG problems with any program that must handle more than one language. I've done some work on the problem and it horrifies.

While I'm not sure that either World War could really be said to be directly involved, I think it'd be pretty hard to argue that the Catholic Church's demonization of the Jews didn't directly open the door for the Holocaust. Hitler didn't invent anti-Semitism from whole clothe, he exploited the fact that was etched into Germanic culture for the past 1,000 years by the Catholic Church.

But LL is right, you've completely ignored the vast number of wars and the death count by the hands in the name of Christianity. And that's not even addressing the issue the battles that caused Europe and it's progenitor nations to be Christian in the first place. Islam was spread by the sword across South Asia and Eastern Europe (and Spain), but Christianity was spread by the sword across all of Europe, parts of Asia, and parts of Africa just the same, and it was used to prop up dictators and tyrants just like Islam has.

It's certainly ridiculous to say that Islam is just a peaceful religion (All religions can and have been used to commit violence, even Buddhism), and many verses of the Qur'an are pretty straigthforward condolences of violence. But it's farcical if you think that makes Muslims inherently violent people, if you think that precludes pacifistic interpretations, or if you think that Christianity is any different (I would actually argue that the Old Testament is actually far worse than the Qur'an). Right now, Christian nations are more stable, but a lot of their stability is contingent upon exploiting the systems that they have set in place, many of which (e.g. all US/European involvement in the middle east for the past 150 years) have done nothing but extensively harm countries (including pretty much all counties with high Muslim populations, modulo Turkey) and have massively destabilized those regions of the world. I mean, for god's sakes, al Qaeda was put into power because the US and its European allies propped them up and handed them weapons to fight the USSR. The fact that the middle-east is a violent disaster isn't something that's hard to diagnose or understand. Some of the more violent aspects of Islam aren't helping, but it's not like all of Islam is to blame for things like ISIS and terrorism or an excuse to believe that all Muslims are inherently violent people. The thing that should share the largest brunt is Western imperialism.

thank you

But I have to use translator.
I can read on English, speak on English (with a strong accent

) but not write. For me it a pain.

I want this for several reasons.
This computer is about 7 years old (maybe more), the operating system on it has been reinstalled several times, but the disk is not formatted (imagine how many trash on it) and for the new games is not suitable.
For modding I need only change name of the administrator folder.
I tried to create a new user and for some reason my computer has stopped recognize mouse. When I reset it, he refused to work with it.
Said: pull this crap out of me, or I'm not working!

Something tells me that there will be more problem if I'll leave it in this condition. And I want to play some old games.

As a whole it certainly didn't do anything to even protest. Blaming something solely 'on' something else is nearly impossible, you can always point to one small thing and excuse the bigger picture. But doing that is the same as excusing every honor killing as just some madman. You have to ask 'What role did the culture play?' And in both world wars churches of all denominations cheered on both sides. Army chaplains blessed axis and ally, nazi and not. Conscientious objectors were pretty much criminals.

My takeway is that people suck, religion is just the color they paint their flags.

I'm calling shenanigans on this video. I can't believe anyone is that stupid. They might call the English language also as "American" (as a sloppy way of referring to the language most spoken in the US), but I cannot believe that they think it's distinct from English.

I'm quite certain that it's illegal for them to shoot bullets in a suburban area like that, especially unloading their clips like a bunch of fucl morons. I'd frankly be surprised if they didn't get fired (They ought to have been fired, that seriously could have killed children very easily, that's why it's illegal in most urban environments to shoot a gun).

Pretty sure he DID get fired, that was just plain stupid...
