Well, I'm not allowed to box, 'cause I have peripheral retinal lattice degeneration, but I think I still have my genitals. I do recall one night playing AC with a buddy, and we were going through each other's armor caches, trying stuff on, and it suddenly occured to both of us how much it was like playing with Barbies. Seemed very funny at the time.
I don't play anymore. I don't think it's girly, but I agree it's a waste of your life.
okay, I'll bite. what does the engine location have to do with the amount of noise the thing makes (except inside the cabin, which is not what ICAO Stage IV is about)?
Nice juxtaposition of "humor" and political sloganeering.

You can wash them, and nothing happens to them at all.
Next time you have a spare US$20, try this handy test: insert in pants pocket; wash in regular laundry; dry. Voila! Unchanged (well, cleaner) $20 bill. But you already knew that.
Excitement: American money looks so somber... like it should be neatly stacked somewhere. Coloured money looks like it is dressed up with nowhere to go... it seems like a shame not to spend it.
Tell me about it. Last time I was in Canada I made the mistake of being a considerate guest and changing a bunch of my cash into your play money. I spent like crazy; the colors made it seem like Monopoly money. "Oh, you like that one? Here, have one with a goose on it. Cool, huh?"
BTW, I went ahead and spotted you the VAT (or whatever it's called up there) even though I'm eligible for a rebate;) Just my way of saying thanks for letting us live in the temperate part of the continent.

I wouldn't bet a lot on Gentoo's future. A quick look at the developers list shows that, while no few than three people have overlapping responsibility for foo, not a soul is looking out for bar. This is symptomatic of internal strife. Look for the rifts to widen over time, with dire consequences.
Oh, fer chrissakes, children! The subject has been covered. Algis Budrys, Rogue Moon, 1960. He thought of all the angles a long time ago, and of course was smart enough to realize the truth--your copy may think he's you, and the world may think he's you, but he isn't you. You're dead.
If you read this, please don't think that I don't appreciate your knowledge and experience--I do. But I would remind you that this discussion began on the topic of military procurement programs gone awry, and the F111, though salvaged into a usable aircraft, was never anything like what the Pentagon thought it was buying. Even the Edwards AFB website says:
Too heavy for shipboard use and too clumsy for the fighter role, the two-place General Dynamics aircraft was reborn as a tactical bomber after being paired with advanced electronics.
Nice, but hardly the way you want your shopping trip to the fighter store to turn out. I'm sorry I called it a piece of crap. I should have said it never lived up to its initial billing.
I'm sticking with "piece of crap". It was heavy, unreliable, and way overpriced. The fact that the Air Force got a bit of use out of them (Reagan bombed Libya with them, too, iirc) doesn't change any of that. It was supposed to be a fighter/bomber back in the day when that was something people would say out loud (we still have them, but nobody uses the term--maybe the F111 put it away for good;). It couldn't fight a LearJet with mounted pea shooters.
BTW, congrats on being modded up--probably some kid who wouldn't know Robert McNamara if he came to dinner;)
I don't know exactly what you mean, but read from the article again:
The modern history of joint aircraft for the U.S. military is dominated by one outright disaster--the notorious TFX project of the early 1960s, which led to an expensive fighter that neither the Navy nor the Air Force wanted to use--and one unsatisfying success. This was the F-4 Phantom, used extensively in Vietnam.
The TFX project produced the F111--a piece of crap long since retired--in the 1960's. The F4 is a '50s bird. The thing they have in common here is that they were both joint-service fighter programs.
Actually, I knew this thing about dog years, but my working assumption is that everybody I meet is stupider than I am.
(BTW, only an idiot would try to disabuse someone as obviously delusional as I of his most deeply-held beliefs. Ergo, you are an idiot. Ergo, you are stupider than I am. So I was right in my assumption, and need not alter my view of reality.)(jk)
Yes, your website says you worked at Amazon during two of its early years. Isn't that 14 dog years (assuming that "during 2 years" means "for 2 years")?
...is that UL is only hurting themselves, and I think that's right. Ask yourself if RH would compile the binaries and release them just to spite UL--probably not, because if you're RH, you prefer fewer copies of the distros in use, even if the ones on the margin didn't directly benefit UL. It's in the same vein as RMS's argument that--far from killing M$--pirating Windows OS only perpetuates the monopoly by spreading the software around.
That in mind, (and even though Joe Hacker isn't their target "market") I think UL had better release the binaries if they want this thing to go anywhere.
I have dropped IE for my personal use--ha ha ha, I make my wife use it and I use Mozilla. That way we don't have to keep re-logging into our my.yahoo sites.
Anyway, thanks, Mozilla. It's a great browser, displays fast, and is pretty close to the same look and feel in Win98 and Linux.
OT: I use Mozilla in RH7.3, and Valhalla is a hell of a distribution. It's not ready for my mother, yet, but it's gonna be. Thanks, Red Hat.
At their current burn rate, they seem to have enough on hand for about 10 more quarters of operation, though they say that 2002 should see a shift to higher revenues because they will actually have some product for sale. Their 10-k is remarkably free of smoke-up-your-ass; they state quite clearly that they are not now, never have been, and very possibly may never be profitable. There's nothing illegal or immoral about speculating on a tech stock, as long as there's no blue sky bullshit being put out.
I agree with you; I would love to see a standard Linux for developers to target. I kinda wish the guys involved with this had enough respect for standards to make their website HTML standard-compliant. It would make it seem less like somebody's idea of a RH killer.
Well, yes, I know it's a big language, but its use is pretty much confined to one area--one we're not planning to conduct ops in, as far as I know. And it was on a list of 4--with Pashto. Just seems weird.
So what is (after English) the most usable language in world travel? French? Spanish?
The goddamn logo gave me chills. The word at the bottom--Remember. These boys know everything that word has stood for over time, from the Alamo to Star Trek, and they seem a little pissed off at having been caught short by the enemy.
I have just one question. Why is Mandarin one of the first four languages translated?
Speaking as one hypochondriac to another, it often helps to go to a doctor, so they can tell you nothing is wrong with you. Keep in mind, this treatment only works AFTER you have accepted that your mind is making you sick. If you haven't gotten there yet, the doctor will only make you angry and your condition(s) worse.
Hah! Flushed you out, didn't we, asshole? So now that you're here, could you tell us how you expect to make any money with this ridiculous scam? I haven't seen a pop-anything ad since I switched to Mozilla.
And BTW, I think you'll find that sex-for-pay is not in the public domain--it's in the "privates" domain. HAHAHAHAHAHA God I kill me....

Indeed, I believe it justifies a patent application. In the U.S. it's a lock.
