was the cow named after the region or is it somehow the other way around?

anyways, that's a lot of interesting information actually :o. 

My work is related to diary farming, and the two most common cows are called Holsteins and Fresians. They are the type with the black and white patches that you see on all of the milk commercials.
The Holstein cow is the one which produces the most milk.

I did not realise that they were named after regions in Germany! 

on are farm before it became an ex-farm were Holsteins and Jerseys. the Holstein is cow with the highest milk production but supposedly the jersey has more fat or creme or whatever which was better for butter production. the Holsteins were a lot larger than the jerseys and we had them crossbreeding so we had more than one jersey cow die giving birth to a Holstein calf (or they would sometimes become crips and we had to get this pulley thing and yank the calf out and shoot the mother, which is shit in the dairy industry :/)
oh what fun life is when you're the one doing the killing. 

does anyone know where a "Jersey" is in Europe? because I'm pretty sure the cows are not named after *New* Jersey. 

Small island off the south coast of the UK. It's a Crown Dependent, kinda independant but not entirely. Like half way between Canada and Wales. Often used as something of a tax haven for the financial industry. 

Argentina or Germany ? 

In 2006 I was sure we were going to lose against Argentinia, and then we won. I hope the team can repeat that success. Either way, it's going to be an interesting game. 

But I'm skimming - what comes out of a Holstien cow?

Is there a Glen Fiddich cow?

Or better yet, a cash cow?

Now you can see why the title of this post is. 

And I used the word 'skimming'.

I haven't slept properly in days. 

Visit me in NYC! 

Yeah... I'd like to see Germany get up.. but the argies aren't too shabby, and Maradonna is really geeing everyone up.

Germany's manager looks pretty focused too. 

"Fresians" are named after a Dutch province 

That ball isn't round anyway..,
although even not excactly flat.

can't help it,
I'm Dutch. 

Is anyone aware of any problems running Fitz.85 or any of the usual compile routines under Windows 7 in 64 bit?

If so, any solutions? 

I always use windows command prompt for tools.
I always put my -commands in the windows desktop shortcuts too. Works a charm - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.... 

And try to run it in a legacy Windows version mode. 

No. 

...I will lash out on a new MB upgrade and go 64 bit. 

are an ethnic group. Several regions/provinces/counties in Holland and Germany are named after them.

Frisian football team would probably kick some ass, if it existed. 

The cow is named after the place at least in case of Holstein. There is also a type of horse named "Holsteiner". Statues have been built for individual horses.

There's also Holsten beer:

Some say the beer tastes like horse piss, however. :-)

Then there is Wacken Open Air, a metal festival about which there exists a movie, "Full Metal Village".

Attention, cow moshing. 

i actually did have a problem with windows 7 + 64bit + fitzquake...

the timing was off due to some kind of coding practice that used older methods or somesuch. i had to use quakespasm, which is basically the same thing only it works. i think it has to do with SDL and a different timing thing. 

the timing problem i think was more due to the multicore cpu (i have a core2 duo) than 64bit.

otoh, if you're going 64bit, do they even make single core 64bit cpus any more? 

I'm going with an Intel i7 so there are going to be a few cores to play with. I will let you know what happens.

Also, I had a legit copy of an RC Windows 7 which has now expired, so I need to buy (I missed MS's offer as I was travelling at the time). It will therefore be a complete rebuild from scratch.

Fun times ahead... I may be gone for some time. 

And no problems here. With Quake anyway... 

The beer only tastes like horsepis, if you open the bottle and let it in open air for more than three minutes...
which is quiet presumable knowing the fact air converts the etheric essense of the beer.

But if you're a slow drinker the horse takes your jump and you surely will hik.

I just saw a splendid program about beers from Belgium. They have the greatest collection of beers in a wide tradition. I'm not a fan of youtube promotion, but for this time:
