Thanks for biting:) Really, you think the P-51 has better looks than the Spitfire? Oh come on! Whats the Mustang got? the shiny pipes out the front? What? Elliptical wings, holla at your boy! Whats one thing thats particularly beautiful on the Mustang? Or easily recognisable like the Spitfires wings?
Thanks for agreeing with me that the Spitfire is beautiful though, I dont post much on/. because of the trolls who hunt me down, like the guy on my last comments!
Didnt say that I hated america if you can read it again, properly. I even like the damn F-22. Im against attitudes like yours. Im sure your country will go into war mode again before 15 years, and will attack New Zealand since we dont allow Nuclear submarines etc in our waters. Im sure our aging helicopters will deal to those pesky F-22's, and we have the UN.
That was just a voice of reason. Im sure im going to get the dreaded troll for my last post {go have a look:)} but its true. Vietnam war, World War II (against Japan), Iraq, M16 vs AK47, America always seems to have the best STUFF, but not the best IDEAS, not the best TACTICS, not the best DECISIONS for how to spend all their money. Its true, how is the F-22 going to get Osama's head on Bushs plate.
This is why the rest of the world hates America. Please stop attacking us for being "un american".
Two typical American Knee Jerk responses. "but but but the F-22 hasnt been up against the Raptor". Indeed.
Im all for the Raptor. I have many F-22 wallpapers, and videos. I have a Raptor flight video set to music on my PSP. I like the American F-22 Raptor. But its TRUE about the report of the Eurofighter kicking the arse of the 2 F-15Es, which are Americas Top of the line WIDELY DEPLOYED fighters. The F-22 is def better, I've read how the 22 flew over the top of a 15 and the 15 didnt see it, no show on the radar, until after it went over the top.
There has been much controversy over the F-22, that the 23 was actually faster and stealthier , that it costs too much etc. And now they all "dropped out of the sky" due to a computer glitch. Its ok, you dont have to defend your "local team".
Ive heard great things about both. Both can be great. Remember the Spitfire? Im sure that most of the world agrees it was a better plane overall than the P-51. But Americans...
The plan, Go Large, giving unlimited access was flawed from the start. I would get so angry when I saw the ads on television, they have a gimicky "Geek Squad" that rolls around in a pimped out van (that can fly, see Back To The Future 2) solving New Zealands internet problem. The thing was that Telecom has always been our problem.
What really got to me was when they were watching a typical family on their view screen in the batcave, (Telecom and Big Brother are pretty similar actually) and they had maxed out their bandwidth allowance for the month. They speak (voice coming through the family computers speakers or something) and push a big red knob to "Go Large". Its all "New Zealand, you've been held back too long, now Telecom is giving you everything you need" despite the fact they are the ones calling 256k fast broadband.
I love Wikipedia, right now I have about 200 bookmarked links in my browser, and every time I try and work through that, I end up adding even more! God, I can't believe how people can outright Ban Wikipedia for Schools and such. I think that I've learnt more from Wikipedia in the last year than I ever did from being at school. Given the chance of all that schooling or a Macbook Pro and Wikipedia, I know what I would choose and it would be cheaper!
Now, I am not a fanboi, I do understand the concern for accuracy. But to outright ban it? Wikipedia is my first and usually last source on anything, mainly because I just use it to learn for myself, not for a paper or whatever, and because its got a consistent, easy to use interface. I do try google to find my information but I find so many sites that tell you the same thing again, in different words, that its not worth trying to see if "Wikipedia was wrong".
Semi-related here, does anyone reading have a photo of the F-16s that were escorting a Cessna out of a no fly zone back in ? I have all the details, and the stories even, but no photos. I have seen a photo of it and it was bloody neat to see, I dont know why I didnt save it then, of the F-16 following the Cessna, it was really neat to see, the comparison in sleek lines, deadliness etc. If you have it, please let me know or send me the link in a reply.
The article is about "kids these days" not being interested in Space Exploration. You say we should counter that by sending out little robots every which way? How is that any different to Star Wars or Star Gate....? We have to focus on US getting out there, not just something that may or may not be on a movie set sending back pictures to our TV sets, we can watch TV anytime, somethings you just have to experience for yourself.
Nobodies mentioned this, Im a little angry, its very easy to answer!
The Razr has an EL light keyboard, it buzzes when the light is on, thats the inverter for the light, its like how florescent lights make a buzz noise too! It will always do it when the light is on, dont worry its perfectly fine.
Just asking, so if they dont try and compete on price, how do they compete? Fact is, company x makes more money selling a lot of cheaper phones that "only" have a camera etc, than their absolute top of the line smartphone with gps etc. There comes a point where every company needs to get a budget range, but what do you do when your well priced, fairly standard phones are getting knocked off, and sold even cheaper?
I love Apple as a company, but you cant just make up a brand image overnight, and for a certain model. You cant tell all the Chinese people (and others, although the story is about whats going on in China) that the "KY178 will get you laid" and expect that to work when the knock off is the same looking, and acting, and is half the price. If you add features, then they can add them to.
Thanks for saying that , living in NZ, and seeing Icebergs pass by, with the hole in the ozone layer which is over us despite the fact its not from our industries, I can only hope that fusion pans out.
I couldn't care less about whos trying to sell dvd's, all I know is that there's a hole in the ozone over my country, that wasn't caused by MY country which results in UV rays giving New Zealanders Skin Cancer at an alarming rate, that just over from us in Australia they are having worse droughts than before, back in my country we are generally having the hottest temperatures we've ever had (average temperature) and that a FRICKING ICEBERGS HAVE JUST SAILED PAST. I think thats the problem.
Oh god, the memories! Well, not exact quotes, but I do remember all the times that Sam and Frodo would gaze into each others eyes, and hug etc. Didnt they actually kiss somewhere or has it been that long since I've read the books?
I like your suggestion for HDD terms, but the fact is you shouldnt use words like what you did to describe people. If as you say it is the GOVERNMENTS, dont use a word describing PEOPLE from the country, as that hurts the people when you call them horrible names like that. Its fine to criticize a government, but dont attack people with hurtful words like those.
I do appreciate your point, and I dont want to argue with you. Its just not right to slander people with words like those.
Hey I didnt know that you took that word, I wont use it here if it does offend you, was a bad word! I'm pretty sure that the Americans were always called that during the Second World War for example, and called themselves that? I am sorry if you take that as offensive, I wont use it again.
I know for a fact that no Chinese person could ever like that term he used. Its a horrible term as to what it means, which I'm sure you know. What does the Y word for American that he used mean? Masturbation? if thats the origin, then its not as bad in that sense as the word that was used for a Chinese person. I myself am a proud New Zealander, I was just sticking up for Chinese people, I myself am not Chinese but I dont think that anyone should use terms like that. I appreciate your comment about the word used for Americans, and if you do find that as offensive, then I will never personally use it again.
I dont like the term for Chinese people you used , not attacking you at all, but I totally agree with what you have said, I dont think that other countries can ever solve the problems of a totally different country. I like the "Vietnam war", I hear that some Vietnamese call it the "American war". I think thats terribly funny, and true, as they have been war torn for yonks, "...land war in asia" and all, so it IS the war with America!
Slashdot Mirror
Mustang link didnt work, sorry! Mustang
Then theres the picture of the Mustang
Those are Wikipedia's main photos of the respective planes. A black and white of the Spitfire is better than the colour Mustang :)
Have a great day

Why do you think they build their Data Centres next to power plants?

Remember when Sony said that the full potential could never be used???

So how do you do it?

God, its not redundant, its a obvious take on the "does it run linux" that pops up as +5 all the damn time. And no, its not my post.
Its just as bad as words from N to K that you *also* used. Im leaving it at that.
I do appreciate your point, and I dont want to argue with you. Its just not right to slander people with words like those.
Have a great day though.
Hey I didnt know that you took that word, I wont use it here if it does offend you, was a bad word! I'm pretty sure that the Americans were always called that during the Second World War for example, and called themselves that? I am sorry if you take that as offensive, I wont use it again.
