1. Remember::Europe is always on the right way, there were just 3major wars that f__ed up everything for about 150 years, otherway we should have free energy driven engines (Read about NIKOLA TESLA)
2. I associate OSS with Open Sound System, OSS in your turms is obviously a product of some USER-LEVEL_BRAIN that is not well informed in abbreviations
