ARRRGGGhhh , back in late 93 early 94 I came up with this very concept and built a proof of concept model. It worked and great at that, EVRYONE I pitched it to thought it was point blank one of the dumbest ideas they had ever heard of. WHY In gods name would you want to have to have a live person monitoring a site, WHY would anyone want to use it people like buying on the net because they dont have to deal with people. WHY WHY WHY didnt I paten this, Anyone wanna buy some prior art CHEAP ?
I guess I should have said more older catholic europeans. And when I say older I am talking about Europeans that would have been school in the 1880's putting them in their mid to late 70's hence, OLDER. I spell and speak quite well in english and german, I am however quite a poor typist, albeit a very fast one.
"Thanks for lend-lease by the way - if ever there was a reason for British anti-Americanism, lend-lease is it, forcing British economic policy to be geared to repayments for some 50 years." What should we have done given it to them for free ? Or maybe just let the Germans pound them into TOTAL submission in the 6 weeks supply they had left. Churchill said very simply nothing scared him as much as the U-Boat warfare it nearly strangled them. Sad part is I would have said screw it just let the Germans have them, but I like the English, france we should have let them keep.
To be honestr the industrial military complex that scares me most is China, low tech manufacturing on an enourmous scale. The only thing that makes me feel better is Argentina has a more capable naval fleet. Look at the CIA fact on Red China's navy, its almost comical. I think Guatemal may have a bigger navy (Im very serious) although it been a year or two since I compiled the exact figures. China wants a blue navy no doubt but theyre a bit off.
"out of touch with reality" WOW....maybe you should get IN touch...Hitler lost 6000 paratroopers, of that nearly 1500 were JUMP casualties not combat. the BRITISH had over 30k men there the greeks LESS thank 10k, and he DID conquer Crete in about 9 days. Where in the hell do you get "a small island defended mainly by civilians"
No the US tanks didnt win the battle of kursk, they allowed it to be fought in the first place. Yes the russians had their own arms industry and a good one at that, but it took time to get rolling again aftr the germans steamrolled over russia, but it was the lend lease that provided a stopgap, and even allowed for an adequate soviet arms industry to begin building en masse again.
Actually the latin was very helpfull for him, many older europeans spoke latin, and if you know anything about Italian you know there are so many friggin regional dialects that a person may be very understandable in one area nad NOT at all in another, and many time when any other communication failed latin would work, I wondered the same thing.
Sure they did, thats explicitly why I added US military and materials., MATERIALS being KEY for ALL the major russian victories. The russians sacrified a lot of men , no ifs ands of buts, a staggering amount to be sure. But if it werent for US materials it would have been insurmountable losses. My grandad was a BIG fellow, G2, translator, Spoke German, Italian, Spanish, French, Latin all fluently, and some russian and polish. He also had a bad temper and took on about 5 russians at the end of the war because they got in an argument, the russian said to him "I see you too use russian jeeps" It was a FORD ! , The russians were all led to belive the material was their OWN and was being built for export to the US , no joke..
Well they always loose when the US gets involved anyhow. WW1 and WWII would have been TOTAL losses for all of europe if not for the US military and materials.
Look at the losses the Brits had in the Flaklands alone. WHAM
Very doubtfull, the US has recently showed it is the only army on the planet earth that can advance blitz style over huge tracts, it has the best transportation and logistics system in use and that make very long supply lines possible. Add to that absolute air superiority and the most capale weapons systems in existence. I give europe 4 months at the outside. Europeans (Not counting the Germans) have showed time and time and time again their unfailing belife in defensive engament, and it has always failed them. Its funny the continued support of that military concept which allowed the germans to overrun europe was left in place because of the Soviet threat. During the col war the US expected most of Europe to be overrun in a Soviet offensive, the plan to then steamroll back over the russians.
You are obviously best to discuss your military doctrine on slashdot where most are clueless.
Hmmm, then maybe you can answer this, will a computer work while in distilled water, I would have suspected ethelyn glycol wouldnt work, but have you tried in stright distilled water ? I always wanted to but never had the time.

Back when the P266 were just hitting the market I sprung and bought a dual MB all the stuff to build a system a whopping 256 meg of ram an adaptec 3940uw, all the hot harware of the day I just finished putting it all together and loaded it when I knocked my BIGGIE Coke from wendys onto the floor, well the case was off, and it all shot inside the system, I reached for the plug pulled it and went and sat down on the couch thinking about the 2k I had just blown. Well I decided to see what was salvagable so I took it all apart and rinsed it in the bathtub (seriously) and let it dry for about 5 days just to make sure. I put it all together and VOILA It worked fine. About 6 months later it started acting real odd, I assumed it was contacts had corrodd after the coke then water bath, I took the case of , it was unreal, EVERY cat and dog hair in the house had stuck to everything , and it smelled, I cant even imagine how many germs were in there, who the hell needs an Ionic Breeze I got a coke covered P266

Anyone else ever notice if you watched A LOT, as in mostly/only B&W TV you could learn to differentiate colors ? I will never forget the very first A-Team , maybe it was the pilot, Murdock was flying around in his Biplane, the interesting thing is I only had a B&W TV the next day at school a friend who knew I had a B&W in my room said hey chris what color was the plane ? Red I replie, how the hell did you know that he asked, uhhh I donno, so I started intentionally watching for this phenomena, 9 times out of 10 I could tell the color of something accuratley on a B&W TV. wierd......

Anyone here remeber when Polaroid sued Kodak for patent infringment on their instant cameras ? Polaroid made sure to wait nice and long unil Kodak instant cameras were everwhere,then ZAP, Actually If I remeber right it wasnt on the camera but rather on the film, Kodak had to buy back all those cameras at like 25 a pop. I wonder if this was Kodaks tactic in suing Sony ?
Well if the Beagle 2 was designed and built by the French I would say someone sent a signal to it saying the Germans were coming an in an attempt to run away it smacked into the surface.
On the other hand if it was designed and built entirley by the English I would say someone sent a signal to it saying the Germans were coming and it tried to turn back and fight like hell with no chance of winning alone and just couldnt hold out long enough for the US rovers could get there.
Either way I am sure the Germans were part of a Beagle 2 failure
I was a plumber, had to quit because of my son, he was born needing a liver transplant (he got one at 9 months old) that was 8 years or so ago, the doctors didnt want me bringing home any of the niceties that went with plumbing, Hep A, B or C, or CMV, CMV is really bad news for people who are iummunosuppresed.

Ok, a guy is driving out west, he sees an Indian standing on the side of the road with his pants down around his ankles and a big old hardon with his arms up in the air, Guy thinks "Crazy Indian" and keeps driving about 5 miles down the road he sees another indian doing the same thing and another indoan a few miles down the road as well, Finally his curiousity gets the better of him and he stops and asks the indian what hes doing, Indian says "ME tellin time" guy says O"Oh yeah ? What time is it" 12:07 the indian repiles , guy looks at his watch and BANG right on time. About 10 miles down the road he sees another indian and asks what time it is 12:20 the indian says, "WOW the guy thinks" he was right on time again. As hes coming out of the desert an indian is standing by the side of the road, pants down around his ankles jacking off as hard as he can, the guy stops and asks this indian what hes doing the Indian reeplies "Me winding watch"
In my life I have had a chance to buy some pretty odd things, some I bought some I didnt, of the many things I didnt buy there are a few that haunt me, a 1971 Superbird for 5 grand in 1988. and a full scale repilca of the Mercury Capsule in about 1985 for $800 , I dont think anyone except the flight engineers could have told it wasnt real, the fellow that built it spent 15 years building it then passed away, I had a chance to buy it and almost did, but I couldnt imagine where the heck I was going to put it, it was heavy as hell. I wonder what ever happened to it what a work of art
