  1. Re:Hmm. on Some USAF Pilots Refuse To Fly F-22 Raptor · · Score: 1

    WAY worse. If the O2 goes bad, you are OUT with maybe no chance to do anything to save yourself. Self-diagnosing O2 issues is very difficult. I nearly died from something similar and I was extraordinarily lucky to be able to recover the plane. Unlike the F-22, the plane I was flying had enough natural stability to fly itself for awhile.

  2. Re:Try asking. on Study Aims To Read Dogs' Thoughts · · Score: 1

    I teach all my dogs basic sign. It was WAY easier than teaching my human family members. Dogs were like "sign for sit but says roll over. WTF is WRONG with these people?"

  10. Re:This is one area we've regressed. on FBI Wants To "Advance the Science of Interrogation" · · Score: 1

    Correct. The FBI was horrified at the amateurish, brutal, and useless idiocy from the CIA. Read all about it: http://www.amazon.com/The-Black-Banners-Against-al-Qaeda/dp/0393079422/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334337260&sr=8-1

    Torture is *perfect* for Soviet show trials. Everyone will confess to anything and everything and implicate everyone they know. If you actually want to find out something you DON'T know, not so much.

  12. Re:Bad article on How the Sinking of the Titanic Sparked a Century of Radio Improvements · · Score: 1

    I also have white flares on my boat. They are used to prevent collisions and for illumination. They are not a distress signal now and I think the color coding of flares was a result of the Titanic. Red = distress now. (and I have red ones too)

  13. Not so. Ships were *THE* killer app for radio. If you were on land, a telegraph office was usually close at hand. You had high dollar types that had been "wired" since 1850 or so cut off from the "net" when they were at sea and now they could keep up with the markets and send buy and sell orders to their flunkies while at sea. This was a big deal.

  14. Re:ground effects lighting on UK Plan Would Use CCTV To Stop Uninsured Drivers From Refueling · · Score: 1

    There is NO LAW ANYWHERE against BUYING GASOLINE! When I was a kid we routinely rode our bikes down to the gas station to get a gallon for a lawnmower or outboard motor. Oops - I forgot they don't have bikes, boats, or grass in the UK. Also we have scooters (Vespa or the like) here that have no number plates.

  18. Re:WtF is a "Horrible Death" ? on Edward Teller: Father of the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: 1

    Two deaths I know of: A - And old relative went to bed and died while sleeping. B - A plane crashed and the canopy jammed. The 2 people inside were banging away on it while the plane burned and onlookers could do nothing to help. You pick! Also throw dying of burns and radiation sickness in there someplace.

    +10000 If you read actual history and not the "USA is teh evil" stuff you will find out that the WW II era Japanese were every bit as evil as they thought and THEN SOME. You will find out that some POWs were *eaten* by their Japanese captors and that Japanese forces killed more civilians with swords than we did with A-bombs for starters and you can go on from there.

    My old Mercedes diesel didn't need a smoke switch! I once watched a Miata behind me slowly become submerged in the smoke at a stoplight. I once put a gallon of scented lamp oil in the car to make it smell better, but my girlfriend still made me get rid of it.

    You need to follow security rules to have access to the gates. If you want to run charters from the GA terminal no one is going to search the passengers.
