You need help, try the procedure at the end- from the BOFH. "Macs. Stacks of them!"
"Macs?"
"Apple Mac 'computers'."
"And?"
"He was a MAC USER!" the PFY said. "For years he'd been living a lie!"
"I don't see..."
"He was a MAC USER!" I say. "I mean it's bad enough being an Apple user, but Macs as well! He'd been at it for years, too. When they broke into his basement they found Power Macs, Quadras... They even found... a Lisa."
"No!" the PFY gasps.
"It's true!" I say. "And it was still warm!"
"So he wasn't just experimenting!" the PFY says in hushed tones.
"Oh he inhaled alright! I talked to his family and friends, but none of them had any idea."
"They're always the last to know," the PFY says, shaking his head.
"So let me get this straight," the Boss says. "You're concerned because your friend..."
"Colleague," the PFY says, but even that makes him twinge.
"...Uses Apple computers."
"I think you mean Apple 'computers'," the PFY says, inserting the missing quote marks.
"And that's a problem?"
"Look, for years he seemed like a normal person!" the PFY says. "He ate with us, drank with us - we thought he WAS one of us. But all along he was hiding a nasty secret!"
"What's wrong with Apples?"
"They're just not real computers," the PFY says. "They're the piano accordion of the computing world, entertaining, but not made for professionals."
"Our Graphics people..."
"Yeah, but they're not professionals. They'd be just as happy with crayons and finger paints!"
"I... So what happened to your friend?"
"COLLEAGUE!"
"Er, colleague?"
"Who knows?" I say. "He might have run away to join the circus or he might have handed himself in for deprogramming."
"Deprogramming?"
"Yeah," the PFY says. "They strap you into a wheely chair and play In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida at 11 through headphones to you while administering electric shocks - until you renounce your faith."
"And they actually have places that do this sort of thing?"
"Yeah, they're everywhere. All you need is a place where no-one will notice a geek twitching, screaming and occasionally wetting themselves in front of a computer."
"In other words the gaming area of an internet cafe," I say.
"...And this works?"
"Who cares?" the PFY says. "They're filthy Mac users!"
. . .
"You'll have to forgive him," I say to the Boss once the PFY leaves to get himself a coffee (and hopefully some form of sedative). "But he has a pathological hatred of Mac users, always has..."
"So you're not so concerned about them?"
"No, no, I think they should burn in hell like the dirty heathens they are, but the PFY has an even deeper dislike of them. It's personal - almost as if he has some axe to grind."
I did stay in school, in a country with an effective education system, unlike the US, which produced uninformed jerks like you, Its quite funny when you call a 56 year old like me a youth. You really are an twisted old fart.
Im well aware of history, you really are a pathetic case. Its clear that the US is the one responsible for the current situation, and despite your pathetic whining about history, the events i mentioned are recent, and fully the resposibility of stupid fucks like you. All the things i mentioned are nothing to do with the past and everything to do with you morons sticking your noses where you dont belong. What the fuck has history got to do with you invading Iraq based on lies? Youre a stupid old fart, with no answer to the issues except look over there.
Iraq was invaded by you not Europe, and was stable until you morons interfered. Iran was democratic before you installed a dictator. Israel gets away with genocide because of you, not Europe. Afghanistan is worse than before thanks to you. The only stupid here is you ignoring reality and yelling look over there. Being part of the US war machine has obviously rotted your tiny mind, you frequently lie about other countries, this is just another example you dumbfuck.
I do we call it Australia. We have great universal health care, no idiots with guns on the street and a minimum wage 3x that of the US. You should try living in a civillised country.
Except it was the republican governor who overode the democrat council, and replaced it with the city manager who caused the disater! As usual, rethuglicans fans ignore reality for their own fantasy.
No I mean the town where a republican governor replaced the elected council, and his appointed manager was resposible for the water disaster to save a few bucks. Reality disagrees with your moronic roght wing famtasy.
Yeh, because its not like the US invaded Iraq and created ISIS Is it? Oh wait, yes you did. Its not like you armed and trained Osama and the Taliban? Oh wait, yes you did. You constantly ineterfere in other countries for your economic benefit, up to and including starting wars.
You cant have a nuclear war with Iran, they have no nuclear weapons. Just like Iraq had no WMD. The cognitive dissonance and outright ignorance shown in your post is astonishing, a quick look at history shows Iran has never started a war in modern times, whereas the US Relies on war to support its economy. Your silly paranoia about Obama is making you look even more stupid than usual, and thats saying something for you.
Motion sickness can be overcome, I used to get airsick in gliders for the first year or so, particularly after negative G. After 150 hours, no problem, and doing aerobatics with glee.
Had you flown with a really good glider pilot, you might change your mind. I did a coaching flight with 4 time world champion Ingo Renner. He could map a thermal in 3D in his head incredibly well, and keep it going. Guys like him are just astonishing in their ability to read and predict the air.
Actually, that particular aircraft (Darmstadt D36) was one of the first fibre glass ships, and suffered the flutter due to excessive flexibilty in torsion of the wing skins. These days, a lot more is known about layups and materials. One of the student designers at the Akaflieg, Gerhard Whaibel, (since a world famous designer for Alexander Schleicher) famously accidently spun the d36, and standard recovery did not work, instead, he violently rocked the ailerons, causing the wings to flex and managed to recover. Interestingly, he told this to George Moffat, who encountrered a similar situation in the world champs, in the prototype Nimbus, and Moffat used the tecnique to recover, going on to win that comp.
Because all white people are from the same culture? If you actually lived here, you would see cultural difference everywhere, when i go to the local shops, i see Chinese, greeks, Italians, Thais, Somalis and many more every time. I dontbknow what dream world you are getting your "facts" from, but it bears no resmblance to reality.
Nope, the wave lift is what gets them there, and keeps them there, if there was no air, they simply couldn't get there. Wave lift is remarkably smooth and consistent.

Talk about ignorance, how about 100 million deaths in 1918?

Off to science class for you.
Of course you havent, perhaps senility is the issue.
So, other than look over there do you have any real answer other than your miserable ad hominem?
I did stay in school, in a country with an effective education system, unlike the US, which produced uninformed jerks like you,
Its quite funny when you call a 56 year old like me a youth. You really are an twisted old fart.
Ah yes, the arrogance of the deluded believer, im 55 years old you idiot, and far better informed.
Im well aware of history, you really are a pathetic case. Its clear that the US is the one responsible for the current situation, and despite your pathetic whining about history, the events i mentioned are recent, and fully the resposibility of stupid fucks like you.

*Mac user is all the insult you need. :)
We dont want deluded assholes like you, please stay in dumbfuckistan where you belong.

Typical deluded right wing asshole response.
Tell that garbage to the residents of Flint Michigan, you might get a dose of reality rather than you usual Fox news fantasy.
Yeh, i doubt the asshole has been anywhere, ive travelled extensively, and the US was by far the worst.
Poor old KGill, i think his mind is going.

The Germans called the D36 Gummiflugel due to its flexing.
