Well, I don't know if I agree with the "do what we say or we'll nuke you" philosophy.

You know, having lived through so many Olympics now, I've come to realize...I just don't care. Just like I don't care about any other sporting event of any other type! I've never been able to understand the allure of watching someone play a sport. To play it yourself, great, I get that. I just don't get spectating. I don't get reality shows either. Put all of them in a big "so what" category.

Nike's "just do it" ad campaign never seemed more appropos...

No HPBs in FL at all AFAIK. Never seen one. I had high hopes for EE2 doing for EECH what F4:AF did for F4, but it didn't.

Well, if they're not overused and undermaintained it shouldn't be a problem. They refurb those things on purchase and make them pretty good.

Both sides are wrong in multiple ways, simple as that. Both are trying to take advantage of mistakes made by the other side for their own personal gain. I don't really know if EITHER side cares about the civilians in S.O., and Abkhazia shouldn't be involved in this at all, yet somehow is. Whoever fired first was most wrong, but that doesn't mean the other side is free of blame.

I was very sad when he decided to leave SP, although truth be told he was on the show far less the last couple of years than in the beginning.

BEST HDR EVAR

Apparently he finished a film due for release later this year/early next with Sam Jackson. However, there are far worse fates than to be remembered as someone who made people laugh.

You may wish to think of it as $12 for BoB2 and $1 for EE2. That way you may not feel as ripped off. Just sayin!

The NATF and A-12 were both cancelled and the USN got the F/A-18E/F instead. Enjoy!!

Georgia and Russia don't seem to have stopped bickering for 15 years now and it's coming to a boil.

It's not "money", it's cost effectiveness. Right now, UAVs can't do all the jobs. The upcoming wave of true UCAVs might be able to, though.

There's just fewer squadrons. Can't keep them all.

FS2 represent!! Well, mine was on the Atari 800, but the same game.

In US planes the trigger fires the guns, the "pickle" button fires missiles/bombs. In the Russian planes, the trigger fires everything; you have to toggle cannons on to fire the gun.

I'm still wondering when it's coming out, though. I've not heard any official word.

Why, quite simply they mean to inform you that there are people out there of indeterminate numbers who may or may not have had their opinion lowered of Obama by an amount that may or may not be significant. Certainly worthy of a news item.

Anyone remember that old SNL skit/commercial? A boy and a girl hanging out by his car, talking about their plans for going out that night, ending with them saying in unison "I guess we'll just watch TV!" followed by an announcer and titles saying "General Dynamics--the leader in global laser-guided defense technology." It's so true, though, they're spending millions on commercials to influence like 50 people nationwide.

Barbara Walters made it in the old days in a male-dominated industry because of her abilities. Today she wouldn't, despite them, because of her looks. Anchormen can be bland looking, but not the anchorwomen. I'm not sure if this is progress or not.

I haven't driven rfactor in about a month, been flying again. Need to get back! However, I've never cared for any of the Porsche mods. The ones in GTR2 handled so much better for me.

I don't know, I've been reading and hearing plenty of stories about C-5 mission availability dropping due to engine issues. It's like 90% of the time a C-5 flight is scrubbed, it's one of the engines' fault, and their rate is the highest in AMC. I know the rare times we had one scheduled to fly down to ANT or ASC it never seems to make the round trip US-ANT-ASC-ANT-US without a delay in at least one location for an engine fix. The DC-8s are slightly better, they break down every other month or so, and the C-17s seem to NEVER break down (as rare as they are here). I heard the old 141s weren't much better than the DC-8s.

Our last wing cmdr had come straight from Minot. I guess he was the base cmdr there in 02-04 seeing as he was here 04-06. He was very much no-nonsense.

Once again, it boils down to choosing between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.
