Here is mine. Very interesting. If I did the math right, I had 7547 players
from the US, and 17,648 from the rest of the world. Assuming each unique IP
= a player. I could have matched IP to Steam ID to eliminate duplicates
caused by players with dynamic IP and/or those that play from different
places, might make a bit of a difference.

immigrant situation? Oh and by the way I have several "Big Block"

 Yeah, that's great. Brilliant idea there. Here's a concept: They (gas

 that you will be driving your ass up to the gas station the following day

I hate paying the price myself but 4-5 dollars a gallon may finally wake people 
up and get them to do something about it. Alternate technologies and higher 
mileage cars are within reach but there is little interest. Higher price's

Re: [hlds] [Fwd: [Fwd: NO GAS ON 15TH]]

2007-05-08 Thread Roman Hatsiev

Here in Russia we pay 0.8$ per litre which is too much for oil
exporter in my opinion. It was only 0.25$ just five years ago when oil
price was far more reasonable. Ironic.

On 08/05/07, Matthias Wieloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm from Germany and actually we pay about 1.36€ per litre.
Converted to $/gallon it is about 5.16$ per gallon.
And I don't enjoy paying that.

People will believe anything that's posted on MySpace or sent to them via
e-mail. It's unbelievable.

I posted a response to this once, but it's clearly a lost cause.

"Oh, I have an idea. Lets not get gas on the 15th. That will show them."
Yeah, that's great. Brilliant idea there. Here's a concept: They (gas
companies) don't give a shit if you buy gas on the 15th or not. They know
that you will be driving your ass up to the gas station the following day
because you need a fill up after stretching it beyond the 15th. Therefore,
you've shifted demand from one day to the next. The only way to reduce gas
prices it to reduce gas usage. Avoiding a fill up one day a year does
nothing. I'd love to see them raise gas prices a dollar on the 16th just to
screw with all you people that didn't get gas on the 15th.

Yeah there are people that dumb unfortunately. Gas companies do not look at
weekly or monthly reports much less daily reports. They are only worried
about quarterly reports. That would be every 3-4 months. But I don't think
if you needed gas to go get food or go to work you would last a day much
less 3-4 months. And that would also include not buying gas pre-hand so you
could last, that would kind of destroy the point. Idiots..

Yep. As much as it pains me to say it, you're right. He's most probably a
BF2 server operator.
