Overclocking Competition: Germany Edges Past USA 8-2

neiroatopelccNaa - europe for the win! takes technological understanding to tweak technology well .. something you ami's dont have - just look at your cars and their cornering (dis)abilities...
Do you mean Denmark because Europe is not a country. You can't compare the USA to Euraope they way you are. Denmark doesn't even make cars so lol. We make dependable and affordable cars unline germany. Anyways why are you putting the USA down on and American sites on a machine which descends from the first electic programmable computer made by Americans?

I'm halfway inclined to not even respond really. You're way too confused to be reasoned with. But I'm not giving up that easily, so here goes.

usa is just a bunch of member states - the european union, to my disliking, is moving there too. So I can very well compare the usa to europe. Obviously not all of europe is part of eu, but I don't think that's going to make much of a difference in this regard.
And no denmark doesn't manufacture any cars anymore. We did manufacture electric cars in the 80s, but the technology wasn't really ready for the consumer marked at the time. And in general we're too small a country to successfully do that. However I may want to point out that Hydro in denmark is one of the leading experts on aluminum, and has been involved in many highprofile car projects because of that (for RR, merc, lotus etc). Anyway. I didn't compare denmark to the us. You can't really compare a european member state, to the biggest collective of member states in the western world. I did compare europe with the us, and I did compare european cars to american ones. And you come talking about dependable and affordable cars? The most dependable cars were japanese until the mid 90s - at that time european cars had caught up, with the exclusion of french, but then that's a different matter. In france they don't design cars to last 15 years. They expect people to replace them every once in a while, so what's it matter if they fall apart after 8 years? At least they're as good as american ones, more economic and a lot more affordable. Which brings me to the second part of your claim. Affordability. European cars in general are cheaper to buy, they run 'greener', they use less fuel to get from a to b, and unless you consider boat-like handling they're doing that better too.
Now obviously all those things aren't nessecarily true for all cars. The C6 definetly corners better than a fiat punto, and a maranello will use more fuel from a to b than a neon. But overall really the only thing you guys are good at, is dumping big v8's in your cars and hope they won't meet any corners. But then again, rover bought buick's aluminum v8 in the early 60s and thus europeans have been able to get straightline speed too if that's what we wanted. We just really don't. Cause beemer and alfa did show us that all you need is a straight 6 or a good carburator system to get from a to b faster than the big v8. And since porche showed us that even a small engine can go really fast, and added electronics we stole from japan, there's nothing an ami can do, that we can't do better (with regards to cars).

Anyway, back to your claims. Does it matter who made the first computers? These days they're made all over the world, and you probably can't even buy a computer where all parts origin from the us. Your silicon valley just doesn't matter anymore. The world's caught up despite your best efforts to avoid it (us patent system).
And well ... american site - sure it's .com/us that I'm using to read the news - but half the guys putting content onto this site don't reside in the us, so the question is how much is nessecary for a site to be american? surely the language isn't enough, as serveral other nations make use of that language as well. And if the physical server placement has any impact - well then a lot of american sites aren't american ...

Now if you want to argue futher, at least know what you're talking about.

ps. if I could afford it, I'd buy a japanese car, not a european one, and definetly not something american. If I want something that breaks, I'll buy french.

Hey. AndersSON, this was a competition between Germany and the US, not the US vs. Europe. You seem to be the one thats confused and you contradict yourself. It's not fair to compare US vs Europe when europe has many more nerds,lol. Your rant about cars is rather nerdy and plain irrevalent. You only seems to care about steering and you did insult American on how you said it you cunning Dane. Also don't be so ignorant, Silicon valley is the hub of tech still. Google which im sure is Denmarks top search engine. Intel/AMD, Nvidia/ATI any many more have the most influence and superiority of all tech. Im am not saying all tech is from US but it is mostly designed in Silicon Valley but manufactured in China or Tiawan. I still don't agree with you on the cars but some Europeon cars are good. American cars have gotten better with more MPG/greener. Supposedly, English cars are the least dependable and I wouldn't mind a Japanese car.

If you want to argue further with your subjectivity, at least know what your talking about.

Hey there we go. Another post. Slightly better than your last, but still no good really. Let's start from the bottom this time.

"cars are the least dependable" While that was true from the 60s and till the demise of BL, it no longer is. Only a few independant manufacturers are left. The rest is sold off to other companies. Ford has jag and aston, some russian kid has tvr, gm has voxhaul, bmw had rover, vw has rr far as I remember. Point is - you're wrong. Again.

"Intel/AMD, Nvidia/ATI any many more have the most influence and superiority of all tech. Im am not saying all tech is from US but it is mostly designed in Silicon Valley but manufactured in China or Tiawan."
Intels tech is created all over the globe, amd has fabs only a highway from where I live, and while I don't know about nvidia, I bet it's invented somewhere in the east where it's manufacturered anyway. Sure the us has some respectable tech inventions under their belt, but so has the rest of the world. In essence all I'm claiming is, that silicon valley isn't the center of the it world anymore. It's a natural choice for any it company situated in the us, but not the joker card for any company anywhere.

"You only seems to care about steering and you did insult American on how you said it you cunning Dane." The insult was intentional mate. And meant honestly. I don't care about 'steering' (what we call handling outside the us). I mentioned fuel economy and other things too.

"It's not fair to compare US vs Europe when europe has many more nerds,lol." I may want to point out that a nerd is merely a person with a very specailized set of knowledge. Whereby I mean a nerd is more knowledable on a restricted subject. That may or may not impact the persons knowledge of other things. But ultimately in a world like ours, being a nerd is a good thing. You only need to be truely good at one thing to be successful. It's not the middleages anymore, so you don't need to know how to gather food, build a house and educate your young.
So when you say europe has more nerds - well thank you, we knew we were better educated to do one thing good :p
"Hey. AndersSON, this was a competition between Germany and the US, not the US vs. Europe."
Not entirely right nor wrong. The competition is between serveral nations. Those you mention are merely the first ones who are 'done'. And all I did was support europe insted of the us. It may be a shock to you, but outside your own country you americans aren't really all that respected (certain individuals are, but not the country as a whole).

the US and German overclocking scores were downright impressive. How a douche from Denmark could turn this into an anti-american bash is beyond me. Yes, we might not be respected or appreciated around the world as I would like, but who is? Denmark? yeah, go print another Mohammed cartoon and cower to Islamists and let us do the heavy lifting. Denmark is good for whores, flowers and letting panzers roll unimpeded through the countryside on their way to a more important country.

"well thank you, we knew we were better educated to do one thing good"
First of all your making "Europe" cough Denmark sound so ejucated doesn't make you intellegent by insulting Americans by generalizing. That is a trait of ignorance so your words speak for you and your so called highest living standards. Wouldn't you think people from countrys with the highest living standards would be objective unbiased and uninsalting? I know because you wouldn't be. Honeslty, I don't have problems with Denamrk or lets just say "Scandinavia" but you really come out arrogant and ignorant with what you have said. I've never seen for example a swedish person say such things. Swedish just keep giving Americans millions in Noble prizes. OHH we are so unejuacted when we have some of the best schools in the world and theres always a noble prize that goes to an American. In conclusion we are still one of the best tweakers/overclockers in competitions and lets just be fair about this Denmark wasn't even mentioned.
