"Canada doesn't have nuclear weapons, they don't feel the need to squander their collective treasure maintaining 12 aircraft carrier groups and they seem to get along just fine. Let some other country pick up some of the tab for being the world's policeman. We need that money here."
WOA! that was a pretty bold statement from somone who benefits from having a friendly border. Considering Canadas largest trading partner is the U.S. of Fucking A! And don't you think for even a split moment that the U.S. would not send those squandered 12 Aircraft carriers to defend your country if the Russians ever had even a passing momment of attacking you.
In fact why doesn't Cannada pick up the tab for being the worlds police force? You guys don't piss anyone off. Of thats right! you need a Navy to do that sort of work. Better start Rowing! In fact why don't you join the peace corps. I bet you never even served in the military. (psst I have so you counter argument on that point was shot down)
I love how people sit back and pontificate on the issues of the world and have no freaking clue.
That statment you just made sir was a blatant liberal democratic lie.
GASP! what!? I can't get FreeWiFi anymore? Come on now the great democratic republic of California can't afford to give free WiFi to all it's netizens?
He murdered a bartender and then tried to escape from court and murdered an attorney.
2 inocent (whatever you deffinition of inocent is) people dead and we are worring about a fucking tweat!?
Please don't try to counter argue the point that we are so much more civilized than every other country in the world, you should really see what the U.S. government does under our noses.
He's gone, one less muderer being kept alive with 3 hots and a cot.
"Us Engineers?" I am smarter than the rest of the human race because I can fix problems? Or is it the megalomanic attitude that get's us into more trouble?
I agree with most of your posting and no posting of couse is perfect due to the fact you have people who love to read the surface of a posting and not bother to read in between the lines or make something out of nothing.
The classic Amiga Operating System consists of Kickstart (including System API) and Workbench. In the Amiga 1000 model, Kickstart is first loaded from a floppy disk, followed by Workbench, or other bootable disk. Later models hold Kickstart (and system API) on a ROM, improving start-up times. Models can be upgraded by changing the ROM.
Several third party vendors produced switchable socket doublers to allow two ROM chips to plug into the single ROM socket on the motherboard. This became more popular as later versions of the Amiga OS suffered some backwards compatibility problems with earlier Amiga software titles. The effect of these switchable doublers was a convenient dual boot system, with a choice of two distinct OS versions via a pre-determined key sequence at reboot, or via a two way switch installed in the case, depending on the specific version installed.
The ROMs themselves are generally known as "Kickstart" and start with version 1.0 (A1000 floppy) and end with Kickstart 3.1. There are hardware and software packages that can "shadow" Kickstart into memory. This resulted in faster operation for functions dependent on the ROM, at the cost of system memory to store the ROM data.
I will admit that RPV's are able to pull more G's than a manned aircraft would but correct me if I am wrong but I have not seen a RPV shoot down an aircraft as of yet; Stateside in training and not as of yet combat. Iraq and Afghanistan don't have an air force worth a damn.
Now we are talking about making the RPV heavier with added electronics. can't be doing a lot of heavy G pulling with missles and bombs on your wings. Oh before we correct the above statement if we got rid of the bombs and only had missles I will admit you will be able to pull more g's than a human ever would you still have the missles on your wings. We also have to factor in that although this may be a flight simulator the aircraft you are piloting does have fatigue limits.
The PRV makes an excellent loiter in area espionage platform. The ability to provide real time reconnaissance and bomb targets of opportunity is outstanding.
The next evolution of RPV's will be EMP platforms. Using a conventional aircraft to try and detect RPV's would be fruitless search of needle in the haystack. An PRV killer with a semi automatic shotgun in the nose would take down another PRV.
Actually the Harrier is not necessarily more maneuverable. The issue was each aircraft has it's strength at certain altitudes. The Argentineans got bored/flustered/impatient flying high above the Harriers and came down to pick a fight with Harriers, the Mirages lost.
The biggest score Argentina had against the British was their old outdate Super Entendard carrying exocet missiles. Argentina only had 5 Air launched Exocets in their arsenal; If they would have had more I think they would have eventually sunk more ships.
I think 2 ships were destroyed but they did their jobs defending the carrier.
Just as the Fairley Swordfish doomed the Bismark the Exocet missile doomed a couple of British ships.
You know after the movie was over I had this overwhelming sense of sadness for the Aliens. I know it was all CGI. The aliens didn't know the concept of lying and were extremely gullible. Although they had the strength of 10 men they were mostly a passive species. They had advanced weaponry but didnâ(TM)t use it for offensive purposes.

As the above posters have stated the looping graphical Amiga animated hand just showed a flesh clored hand with a floppy disk in it informing you to insert it into the 3 1/2 disk drive.
So since Steve Jobs was placed on a shorter waiting list does that mean everyone in front of him who was an exact same match for the liver go before him?
Maybe because he is such a public figure that we judge the actions of his wealth. I guess since there are no other stories to compare to this expedient and miraculous transplant and his wonderfull recovery that we make him a pariah of what wealth can produce?
I can say with all honesty that I am only jealous of the fact he was able to get on the list (Which we don't know how long he was on it)while a good friend of mine floundered in the system of Red tape and died before she got hers.

Oh the horror!
I have this ultra fantastic piece of hardware that is going to be SOOOOO much better!
Where are the pics?
When is it comming out?
Seriously this sort of titalation marketing went out 10 years ago.
Either put up or STFU!
The images were taken down from the NASA site.

He took it like a man.
20 plus years he stayed alive.

And this is what happens when you let terrorists censor you.
I love seeing my comic book heroes come to life!
The last Batman was phenomenal!
The Watchman was quintessential comic book deliciousness!
More comic book goodness!
fraud, waste and abuse? I think you better be prepared to lose your job.
Doing business with a country where freedom of information is counter productive to your business model makes no sense.
when money is God WHO CARES RIGHT?
IPaid to Much!
Is there a way to follow all this money closely. One slip up in mismanagement and this phenomenon is history.

Animals smell it and react to it accordingly.
Ever been to Marine Corps boot camp? Couldn't get the smell out of the squad bay for a month.

As soon as Microsoft finds out they will put out a patch that closes this exploit down and God help you if you are running anything in production.
But of course none of us would ever do that :)

I miss my Amiga :(
I remember growing up in New York when the Space Shuttle launched it always rained the next day.
Ahh I was wondering why there are less Chinese gold spam messages in trade chat.
100 trade messages a day. It's amazing they are able to earn a paycheck by playing a game albeit not a lot but I am sure it's better than not working.
At least the WOW servers stayed online.
Stop paying homage to him. If everyone was so concerned about him all the radio station would have been playing his music to get him out of debt.
The man died of an anxity attack. He was 400 million in debt. Now everybody wants to pay homage to him and have specials and yak yak yak yak.
Everyone now is making money off of his death.
So since Steve Jobs was placed on a shorter waiting list does that mean everyone in front of him who was an exact same match for the liver go before him?
Maybe because he is such a public figure that we judge the actions of his wealth. I guess since there are no other stories to compare to this expedient and miraculous transplant and his wonderfull recovery that we make him a pariah of what wealth can produce?
