  1. Honestly, I have no idea why I'm posting this...

    I'm afraid that story is contradictory! If she's well-known, than by default you WOULD have heard of her. The fact that you've not means she's not THAT well-known after all, and that explains why she was keen on having you know who she is. There are 2 types of actors: those who want to be known more, and those who are too well-known for their comfort. She was obviously one of the former and was hoping that since you didn't know her face, you would know her name. When you didn't know that either, she wanted to be sure you knew what she did in the hopes that you would spread the story so she'd become better known. A lot of hiring in Hollywood is done on name recognition...if they can hire someone people recognize it can draw viewers, and if that person is on the rise it means they don't cost as much as they might be worth.
  2. HOLY CRAP! I FOUND PORKINS!

    WTF is with this all this "future" talk? It was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away!!! You all get your citizenship revoked!!
  3. I'd love to see a formation pic of that plus a Bone!
  4. Getting a new laptop

    Yeah, they don't bother with writing there after installation. Well, at least TIR does. I don't know a thing about Saitek!
  5. The stock plane DMs in CFS3 were indeed stupid, with things like control cables given a 60% chance of being damaged! The Firepower addon and 1% 3rd party planes were far better and made the game quite playable, even if the DX7-class graphics made it dated looking from its release.
  6. Getting a new laptop

    The deal is the program files folder is read-only now, so a lot of stuff is done in your profile instead. So you may want to create a folder named "games" for something like EECH that wants to write back to the main folder. As for Il-2 and SF2, you don't need to worry about those, they work fine. No clue on FS9, haven't touched the series since FS4!
  7. SWA Plane Suffers Metal Fatigue

    There are a LOT of 737s out there. As for how many of the older ones, I'd say quite a few still!
  8. I don't know, CFS3 was IMO relatively polished. It ran slow on anything but top-end systems, and it was missing some things we'd have like to have, but it was complete. It also had the largest map of any WWII sim released since then. All the Il-2 maps are far smaller, and well there are no other WWII sims! Only EAW had larger IIRC.
  9. Getting a new laptop

    Well, that's the trick. Lower the settings on most any game and you can get it to run well. Your screen is relatively low res (13x7) so that should help minimize the stress on the system vs a higher-res screen.
  10. Getting a new laptop

    That should handle everything great with the exception of A-10C. I hear it's a real bear, so you may not be able to crank those graphics up like you will in the other sims.
  11. RIP Charlie Sheen (or is it good riddance?)

    Charlie Sheen can't kill Charlie Sheen because he has insufficient coordination to actually hit him.
  12. Lost A330 finally found?

    Apparently they've now found some bodies.
  13. A-10 Crash

    So, Boeing then.
  14. B-1's In The Fight!

    Oh right, I forgot about the ice coming off and damaging things.
  15. Maybe they should adequately staff them so that someone else would've been there to keep him from falling asleep.
  16. AC/DC disbanded

    Ah yes, I'm now reminded that for some reason people pick this day of the calendar to attempt these things. I'd gone a whole 3 hrs this morning without being aware of it...sigh...
  17. Blaze, Rage, or Fade

    Blame Jon Bon Jovi.
  18. It's been like what? 18 months?

    And all of this will happen again.
  19. B-1's In The Fight!

    Don't the canards have deicers built-in? What's the consequence if they ice up? I mean, they're only used at low-alt anyway, where icing usually isn't as big of a problem, right?
  20. Weapons dunces

    "Silent" is throwing the bullets by hand.
  21. Blaze, Rage, or Fade

    You're damn straight! Of course, depending on when you croak you could classify it as either a blaze or a fade...or if it fails to happen, a rage...
  22. Syrian Air Force - pictures

    Syria - a bastion of maintenance excellence in the Middle East! No, doesn't work.
  23. Blaze, Rage, or Fade

    I'll take on my back in bed with a woman on top of me for $1000 please, Alex.
  24. It's been like what? 18 months?

    Nothing has changed. Everything has changed.
  25. Weapons dunces

    Don't forget according to the media anyone who shoots someone with a non-automatic weapon from a distance of greater than arm's length is a sniper.
