It's sounds of the equivalent of the earth's jet stream, heard during the descent. It's gonna sound like someone blowing into a microphone eve if the craft has assumed relative horizontal windspeed. The vertical windspeed has got to be large, and liable to change with pressure. Think Bournoulli effect/
This game looks like Apache Strike that I played on a Mac 512 KE . I am really supprised that there was a 3D shooter game at all in 1974! That was 2 years before I was even born!.
It's especially amazing that there could have been such a game in 1974 when I consider the capabilities of the later model TI-99 4A Now THAT was a REAL computer.
And it came with a whopping 8 megs of ram, and an 80 MB hard drive. Then I got a 100 meg zip drive so I could have more room... Had lots of fun downloading pr0n files from a unix account that gave access to usenet via gopher. Using a 14.4k z-modem connection and pasting uuencoded segments together with MS Word, uudecoding the pasted together jpeg file, the reward for 45 minutes downloading was illicit jack off material. For a 15 year old that looked 13, it was easier than buying a magazine. What a teenager will do for jack off material..... Still, I could read alot of the alt.sex.stories while I waited for the images to download...
The centris was a 68040. 20-ish mhz? Never heard of a 68040 w/64 megs of ram and a 4 gig hard drive...
If you live alone, no TV is fine. The internet, books, and NPR is all you need. TV IS tripe. And for one, see movies at the theatre. The price of a movie ticket gives you a better sound system and a bigger screen than a TV/DVD setup for not much more.
But if you live with someone, the TV is a way to get some alone time, or something to do to get off the other person's back.. It's something you can do together without talking.
I went a couple of years TV-less, but I wouldn't be without one now.
Why listen on a wavelength where according to the scotsman article ( I couldn't get the NS article because of slashdotting ) Hydrogen emits and absorbs energy? Since Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe comprising any interstellar smog, then wouldn't it be liable to absorb any signal at 1470?
I accompanied my Dad to the Stellafane the weekend before last where some NASA dude talked about how amateur astronomers with small telescopes 6-12 inches might collect useful data on planets partially eclipsing ( transiting ) stars by measuring and graphing the brightness of the star using a CCD.
I am not really into astronomy, but I wonder if one of those guys found it..
Even banning the sale of Nazi Memorabilia seems over the top. There is a WWII German Jet airplane in the Smithsonian. Is that Nazi Memorabilia? It's damn interesting even if it was made by Nazis, and probably has a few Shwastikas in places. It's history now, not real live propaganda.
Plus people should be able to say what they want, and the US should not sign or remain bound by any treaty that lets someone be extradited to another country while never having set foot in that country. If someone hires a contract killer by making an international phone call, then it should be prosecuted domestically under US law since that is the location from which the call was placed. If there is no law against contracting for murder abroad, then let congress make one.
If being all geographical about jurisdiction reduces our power over those abroad that we might want to get ahold of, then so be it.
They ought to just make the graphics better and put faces of well known porn stars on the characters. The game would be Sim Porn King ( Director's Cut ). You would 'film' the characters in movies of your own design, and be scored on how well they sold. The AI would simulate different sorts of perv that would buy the film or not depending on things like: Subject matter, Types of scene, Word of mouth, Box Cover Girl etc. He who dies with the most sextoys wins.
There is some stuff out there, like dust and gas and whatnot. If the Pioneer craft hit some of that stuff, then that would make it slow down wouldn't it? Of course, someone has probably already thought of that and discounted it for good reason.. Still, barely measurable gravity perturbations that only occur during eclipses, making verification difficult smells of mass hysteria
Hmm, every newly discovered crater must have an effect on the actuarial estimates of the likelyhood of earth being struck in the next 50 years... What are the odds NOW?
If you figure that rads are joules per kilogram, then if you absorb 1000 watts a second under the sun, and weigh 100 kilos, then you are being exposed to 1000 rads per second of light.

We aren't talking about US soldiers of the current US regime, we are talking about stormtroopers, under a Darth Vader type regime. They are different beasts entirely.
Hmm, noncombatants get special protection. It didn't seem to protect the residents of Hiroshima or Nagasaki.. International law is a farce. Nobody is in charge but power.
Ok, but you have to admit that it takes many fewer stormtroopers to keep a 70% hostile unarmed populace in line than it does to keep a 70% hostile gun toting populace in line.
Weapons like other tools let one person do more. If you have the power tools you can get the job done. One person can move tons and tons of rock, doing major damage to the hillside wielding a steamshovel, but one person digging with their hands won't get far. Give them a hand shovel and they'll at least be able to dig a decent hole. If Nukes are steam shovels, then guns are hand shovels. Knifes and pitchforks are fingernails. Guns are a very democratic form of military power. One person can only wield one gun at a time. And an armed populace can also defend itself from gun toting rogues.
Man with gun = 20 men with no gun. As long as man with gun keeps his side arm with him he can go anywhere. See the leverage in favor of those who would take guns away?
Man with tank = 50 Men with gun. But Man with tank can't get out and take a leak without his pecker getting shot off if there are 50 men with guns in the bushes.
In terms of classic doctrine, the critical difference between
terrorist warfare and guerrilla warfare is that attacks made by
guerrillas are primarily intended to directly harm the enemy, whereas
attacks made by terrorists are primarily intended to provoke
reprisals.
But using that definition, guerillas perform terrorist attacks and terrorists perform guerilla attacks depending on circumstances. They are merely two different strategies used by weaker opponents against stronger ones.
One man's terrorist really is another man's freedom fighter. Provoking reprisals in a psychological campaign is a valid strategy because it can be effective in the same way as causing direct harm is a valid strategy because it can be effective. So can't other more creative ways to further your cause or throw monkey wrenches into your enemies works.
Terrorists often times seem to cause senseless violence. They don't seem to understand that a Just War must be winnable. But then again, their stated motives may not be their true motives. They could be pulling an Andy Kauffman, or they could just be deluded into thinking Allah will miracle them a victory if they give him enough blood.

That's you. I hope you choke on your ill gotten Karma and die.
It flew in over the ocean and beach and then landed on the land. WTF are you talking about??

Huh Huh Huh -- Just looking for an excuse to post. I plan to go out at 1000 even.

Check this out.
Is that like "Downers and organ meat destined for ALPO cans"?

Interesting link BTW, I've been reading it more, and also http://denbeste.nu/essays/terrorism.shtml that was linked to by it.
