If we all looked the same, it would be about religion. If we all believed the same, it would be about language and accent. If we all talked the same, it would be about how we dress. If we all dressed the same, it would be about where we were from, since there's no possible way we can all be from the same location. Humans deep down do not WANT everyone to be "us", they WANT "us" and "them" so they can make "them" lesser in some way. That is the reason communism will never work, BTW, because humanity has not evolved past that.

Next on The History Channel, "Pimp My Warbird."

"Fussy eater." We used to say that in my house. "He's a fussy eater." "Fussy eater" was a euphemism for "big pain in the ass." "I don't like that." They tried to corner me with logic! "How do you know you don't like if you've never tried it?" "It came to me in a dream!"

Yes, the first film was 1997, the 2nd was 1999, and the 3rd was 2002.

I don't get "opinion" shows. Who CARES? I don't care what the anchors or whatever you call them FEEL about a situation, I just want to know what HAPPENED. I can form my own opinions, I don't need to hear someone else trying to give them to me. The "shouting down" the other guys and the "turn off the mike" crap is so childish. These are adults? They don't want to hear opposing viewpoints or have a discussion, they want someone on their show who has an opposing viewpoint so they can keep them from talking and belittle them to make THEM look big. When there's a CENTER channel, I'll watch that. The idea that so many of them seem to be on the left that we needed one way out on the right to balance it, like news channels are on a damn seesaw, is retarded. BTW--Fox News lost all credibility with that "terrorist fist jab" comment. I mean really, WTF was that? That's not "telling it like it is", that's "telling it the way you want it to be." GET RID OF THE OPINIONS, THEY ARE NOT WANTED. NEWS IS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, NOT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

Ah, so, just like the rest of the world then? Everything here boils down to one thing--what will get me reelected?

Aw, I thought you bought an A-4!

Have all 3 on DVD, saw the last 2 in the theater. Didn't see the first one because I thought it would be stupid. Then I saw it at home and was blown away! I was hoping for a 4, but it's been 6 years now...

I was stunned when I heard this. Such a shame...

Put a hunk of metal in the nose of an ICBM instead of a warhead...voila!

I go to most of them. I get my news Rashomon-style, get all the different takes and build your own picture from that.

My mother-in-law is pretty bad about it. She's an old NYC Jew and is the typical hypocrite with some black friends who are "different". However, she talks about Democrats almost the same way, so I get the feeling that to her black = Democrat. I just don't care. I DO have an "irritation" if you will against Hispanics, but that mostly centers on their unwillingness to speak English after taking up permanent residence in the US (legally or illegally). A language is NOT "your culture." You want to speak it at home, fine. You want to speak it at work? No. A majority of them DO understand English but simply refuse to speak it and also pretend they don't understand it. THAT makes me mad. It almost seems to be a xenophobia with them. My wife went to lunch with one years ago who confessed to feeling "uncomfortable" and thinking "everyone is looking at me." Why? No one around them was speaking Spanish! THE HORROR! So, you're speaking English in an English-speaking country but you're uncomfortable because no one is speaking Spanish and want to run to the areas where no English is spoken? Florida is NOT North Cuba, no matter what they may want.

I don't know much about the VA-class boats. I know they replaced the Seawolf class because those were too expensive, so I'm guessing these aren't quite as good, but are still better than the 688/LA class?

Um...curly hairs on the rim of the glass?

Of course, locally this is big news since they work on the JSTARS planes here and the tankers would likely get some of their avionics integrated here, too. If Boeing eventually gets it, all the locals get screwed.

And people say chivalry is dead! And they should.

While they could trap on a US carrier (a hook is a hook), I'm not sure about the takeoff. They use ski jump and we use steam cats, and the tie down/nose gear changes aren't minor.

Hamachi is the ONLY way I've ever gotten MP to work.

LOL, it's always funny to me when I hear people talk about "paradise" when the description sounds pretty much like where I live in FL.

For a second I'd thought you'd lost it and were declaring yourself an S-2!

I've read through this thread twice and I STILL can't figure out what it is the argument is apparently about?

I do understand where Boeing is coming from. If you're told you'll be judged by a certain set of conditions but are actually judged by a DIFFERENT set of conditions (which is all the GAO really seems to have said--that there was inconsistency), that's not really on the up-and-up. As far as which tanker is actually the better way to go, I won't say, I leave that as an exercise for the student.

I didn't know the game featured deception jamming. Pretty much every flight sim I can think of has represented noise jamming only.
