  1. Re:The US Navy Is Not Such A Secret on Virtual Earth Exposes Nuclear Sub's Secret · · Score: 1

    German pocket battleships could carry more guns than a British ship twice their size, and the Bismark took several ships to chase it down before it was sunk, it destroyed the HMS Hood, one of the Royal Navys capital ships, which was what led to the hunting of the Bismark in revenge. It only sank after sustained bombardment and repeated torpedo hits, which still did not rupture it main armour belt. The reason why the German navy was afraid to engage the Royal navy was because, although in a confonatation between 2 German and two British ships, the Bismark (geramnys best ship) was able to sink the HMS Hood (one of Britains best ships), the Royal Navy had the numbers to send 6 battleships, 2 battlecruisers, 16 cruisers, 29 destroyers and 2 Aircraft carriers to hunt down a single battleship, which had only 2 Destroyers to help protect it, the only other German ships around that could try to help were weather ships and tankers.

    German Intelligence report:

    The information feed from our Trojan has started revealing new information in the last few days.
    Analysis of the terrorist communications reveals the ring leader is a man named Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, with his co-conspirators being an Omar Simpson, and a chemical weapons expert known only as "Professor" Frink. They have access to an unknown chemical or biological weapon referred to as a 'jumbo Squishee'. Their exact target is unknown yet, but is somewhere in northern Belgium. Omar Simpson has been recorded saying he will 'get Flanders' and that he 'really hates Flanders'.
    Further Surveillance recommended.

    I won't be satisfied till they create a flat, boneless, tender, delicious animal that can live and breed entirely on my garden lawn, mowing it to the ideal height, until it is big and juicy enough to eat, whereby it comes into my house, skins and seasons itself, slicing out any remaining inedible or non-delicious vital organs and cutting of it's own head as it's last act before it's final plunge into the frying pan, 10 mins before dinner time. It should also put the potatoes on 10 mins earlier.

    well, the major disadvantages of mac desktops are they are overpriced, they don't play games and to upgrade, you throw them in the bin and buy a new one.

  23. Penguins. on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There is only one thing I would change. More penguins! Penguins everywhere, a penguin at the command line, penguins on the desktop, printer test pages would just be a picture of a penguin. Ascii art of penguins inserted in code comments. when thinks are erased, they are overwritten by a pic of a penguin first. Anyone makes a CD based distro that is less than 700 mb, the rest would be padded out by penguin pictures, DVD distros would be padded out with penguin movies. It would use your webcam to search the room looking for penguins and if there wasn't enough, it would threaten to delete all your data unless you stuck up penguin poster immediately. It would steal all your passwords and post pics of penguins on your blog, and email all your friends with penguins, it waould also order penguin soft toys and penguin accessories with your Ebay account. It would play penguin calls and songs about penguins all the time, especially at night, when it would wake you up at 4 am with penguin calls.

    Eventually, it would contact online plastic surgeons to arrange a penguin conversion operation to turn you into a giant penguin.

    You do realise that a lack of respect for existing languages and constantly changing words and meaning is what created the language you speak. If we Europeans were not so prolific at robbing words off each other and then screwing them up, then none of the modern European languages would exist at all.
    Maybe you should go and speak Latin all on your own in a darkened room. Either that or Welsh.
