Nope, don't like Miller, we just had a conversation about it last night actually. Maybe a High Life once in a blue moon, but not a regular Miller, Budweiser or Coors drinker.
If you think all American beef is bland or greasy then you are ignorant of it. Really nothing better than raising your own beef, calling in the mobile slaughter, shooting said cow and a few days later having a freezer full of wonderful lean beef.
Sorry that my taste in English beer isn't up to snuff. From a quick look at a beer list, 35-40 beers of the UK. I'll take American like Black Butte Porter or anything by Widmer or German beers like Becks or Spatan over anything British.
"Tried it, didn't like it. Dull, soggy bread. Crap sauce. Good cheese though. Maybe you should go to a city with a decent Italian population."
You mean like New York or Chicago? Because I've been to both and had the pizza. Lebanese and Greeks make a better pizza than alot of Italians and its better in the States than UK.
This is similar to how the US Senate was supposed to be.
The Senators were to be appointed for six year terms by the state they represented, not by popular election. That was changed in the early 20th century to election by the voters, however if a Senator is deathly ill, dies or is elected to another office or appointed (Dan Quayle, Barak Obama, Al Gore are three recent examples) somewhere else then the state replaces them, either the Governor of the state appoints someone, which is what happened to Obama's seat and caused the downfall of the Governor there, or there is a special election, like what happened to Ted Kennedy's seat in Mass.
The reasoning was to give the state's equal say in the national Congress and even though Senators are elected now, the US Senate remains more traditional and less prone to snap decisions. The US House voted to impeach Clinton, the US Senate had the trial and found him not guilty.
Bar food. Hispanic food/Tex-Mex and California-Mex. Thai. Anything fried. Fruit - Apples, Oranges, Grapes. Wine. Beer - yea I said it, American regional and microbrews smack down the UK. Hell, I'll take a Molson Canadian over English beers. Bodington's is my favorite from the UK but I'd take a Black Butte Porter or a Widmer Drop Top over it.
Beef, American beef is maybe second to some Japanese super pricey beef but we have bison here too.
Pizza - deep dish, New York style
Bacon. I've had bacon in 8 different countries, midwestern US bacon is the best, second best would be in northern BC and the Yukon
And finally, grains. American breads are superior to anything in the UK. More grains grown here and superior varieties.
We have the luxury of looking at this frame by frame with no danger to us or anyone else while we debate what is or isn't.
The guys in the helicopters, or folks on the ground don't have that luxury they have a split second at best to decide if something is or isn't a threat, no rewinding.
When I look at it I can see that objects in there look like weapons, I see assault rifles at various times and that long object could very well be an RPG, not all RPGs have the distinctive "pointy" end. And an unloaded RPG-7/16 doesn't have a "pointy" end.
They thought they saw a threat and acted on it. They apparently were wrong but that happens all the time in every armed conflict.
Of course there were also hundreds of times US personnel were wrong the other way, they didn't think there was a threat and they died, often in very horrific ways and helicopters have been shot down by weapons like the RPG-7/16 so at the worst what happened here was the fog of war crept in.
"Between 3:13 and 3:30 it is quite clear to me, as both a former infantry sergeant and a photographer, that the two men central to the gun-camera’s frame are carrying photographic equipment. This much is noted by WikiLeaks, and misidentified by the crew of Crazyhorse 18. At 3:39, the men central to the frame are armed, the one on the far left with some AK variant, and the one in the center with an RPG. The RPG is crystal clear even in the downsized, very low-resolution, video between 3:40 and 3:45 when the man carrying it turns counter-clockwise and then back to the direction of the Apache. This all goes by without any mention whatsoever from WikiLeaks, and that is unacceptable.
At 4:08 to 4:18 another misidentification is made by Crazyhorse 18, where what appears to clearly be a man with a telephoto lens (edit to add: one of the Canon EF 70-200mm offerings) on an SLR is identified as wielding an RPG. The actual case is not threatening at all, though the misidentified case presents a major perceived threat to the aircraft and any coalition forces in the direction of its orientation. This moment is when the decision to engage is made, in error."
So yes, accident in a combat zone, trying to spot a threat in a loud vibrating aircraft through greyscale optics in a dangerous area.
There has been alot of that, I think its a selling point "This gun is so powerful and the bullet so BIG that you can't shoot a human with it!!!" in training.
Then you find 50 caliber sniper rifles...sorry anti-material rifles, used against infantry and guys like Hathcock using 50 calibers all over Vietnam against infantry.
"On occasion SPAAGs have been used as very effective direct fire weapons against infantry, for example by American forces during late World War II, in Korea against mass infantry assault, and extensively during the Vietnam War, where for example the U.S. M42 Duster SPAAG (based on a light tank) was employed purely for this purpose."
This might cover what you are talking about
1980 United Nations Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects (CCW)
But the M-1 tank has an anti-personal round and that is a 120mm gun.
M1028 120 mm anti-personnel canister cartridge was brought into service early for use in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It contains 1,098 38-inch (9.5 mm) tungsten balls which spread from the muzzle to produce a shotgun effect lethal out to 600 meters (2,000 ft). The tungsten balls can be used to clear enemy dismounts, break up hasty ambush sites in urban areas, clear defiles, stop infantry attacks and counter-attacks and support friendly infantry assaults by providing covering fire. The canister round is also a highly effective breaching round and can level cinder block walls and knock man-sized holes in reinforced concrete walls for infantry raids at distances up to 75 meters (246 ft).

Its been covered over and over since the Balkans Wars in the early 1990s that professional camera and recording equipment looks a lot like military weapons from certain angles and in situations. Head on an RPG-7v and a TV camera look near identical.
At 3:14 and 3:21 the men with the camera and equipment, well that looks alot like a weapon, satchel and shoulder strap in the video and then later, before the firing starts around 3:50 there is a man with a rifle.
Other than the DoD sitting on this and claiming there was no film of it, there is nothing to see here. It was an accident in a combat zone.
So then, yes if you want a keyboard then everything you buy that doesn't have a keyboard is limited.
But I didn't want a keyboard for my phone, lo and behold the iPhone doesn't have a keyboard, so that doesn't limit it, it makes it have the function I was looking for.
And yes the fact that there are add ons to the iPhone that do mapping and turn by turn are good arguments because the iPhone's design by Apple didn't have advanced mapping features or turn by turn. And by Jobs everyone knows Apple doesn't ship something like iPhone/iPad without everything being tweaked to just how Apple wants it to be.
So...the manufacturer didn't intend to have your routes shared, arrow based turn-by-turn or hell being able to move your mouse around the screen of a computer with your iPhone, but there they are.
So, no the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch are not "appliances" but they are PDAs.
Take your toaster or washer and get them to to turn by turn without soldering or welding anything to them. Those are appliances the Apple PDAs are not appliances.
Really? While I don't have an iPad, I do have an iPhone (unjailbroken) and I have three map applications, a turn by turn navigation application, VLC, grocery applications, some blog applications, remote monitoring of my desktops, 50,000 alcoholic drink recipes, my WoW armory and talent computer, flight tracking and a host of games.
The manufacture didn't intend it to do any of those things but there they are.
