Maybe we should let a horny stallion make him its mare?

Optical illusion. It's shorter in height, but the length is quite close. The wingspan is only slightly less.
It's still much larger than a MiG-29.
I wonder what plane that hard-to-make-out twin-boom design is?

I always wondered why the Soviets painted the cockpits of their Jet's Green...
But some great photo's...
So when the pilots puke they don't have to clean it up?
Something their psychiatrists claimed about it having a calming effect on the pilot or some such tripe. It just makes me FEEL green.

Naturally. The last thing anyone here wants is to get into someone else's dispute. If we can lend support to an ally without screwing ourselves over, we should. With the way things are right now, though, our neck is stuck out farther than a giraffe's already and we can't afford (literally) to get into anything else.
The interesting thing, of course, is that what is usually in most countries' best interests is maintaining the status quo.

Perhaps the ones on the camera DIDN'T do it, and the one who really DID remains safely hidden while these decoys divert attention?

Yeah, the media is hyping the abusive language angle, but that's not why she was canned. Around 90% of those who served with her have given examples of someone ill-suited to command that was instead promoted beyond their ability, possibly due to connections but more likely for the political aspects of "another female USN commander."
Making a master chief stand "time out" on the bridge of a USN vessel along with other belittlings of senior officers in front of junior officers is just lame leadership.

How much armor on the flying buttresses?

Many artists' biggest hits were NOT big on release. Take Billy Joel's Piano Man...I think the song peaked at #34 for a single week in 1973 then faded away. By the late 80s, though, it was one of the big highlights of his live shows.

Some may also remember some commercials he did for Luzianne Iced Tea in the 80s.

Il-2 works with widescreen, you just can't set it thru the GUI.
Edit the conf.ini file in the root Il-2 directory and you'll see the res specified on 2 lines. I think there might be a 3rd for the aspect ratio, I forget.
Just change them to what your monitor uses.

Maybe they should've sent a singing telegram first?

If the laptop has a DX10-capable chip, then Gen2 will be great because of the shader enhancements he made.

It only gets more difficult from here! My daughter is 18 months and I view those early days with fond recollection...

Sliced bread is WAY overrated IMHO!

I find for most planes in Il-2 cutting throttle, stick forward, and opposite rudder seems to work best. Sometimes you have to put some roll in, sometimes not. Better hope you have plenty of altitude, though, because some planes only want to recover when they're in a pure vertical dive.
-
Better hope it doesn't come down to a drinking contest for the tie-breaker, because you CAN'T win that!

I think the definition of life should be simple: if the mother dies NOW, can the fetus/baby be removed from the womb and live, or will it die? The heartbeat argument holds no water because there are microscopic organisms with heartbeats.
If leaving the womb means death, no matter the technology to sustain available, it's not a person yet. It's just potential.
Having lived thru miscarriages with my wife, I've had no choice but to become inured to emotional attachment until the pregnancy has progressed to a "safe" point.

Doesn't the Viper have crap for features, though? Basically an engine with wheels, seats, and controls to drive it? Certainly not the kind of car I'd want to spend more than an hour or 2 a week in.
-
Can they really have such little faith in their own shipyards?
-
I support the death penalty for anything greater than a traffic stop.
-
Humans are animals.
We're not plants.

No, no, you've got it all wrong. They're tenderizing the meat first.

It's not murder, it's more like some kind of fraud. Besides, at that point is it so hard to just let the kid be born and give it up? At 7 months already, what's the point?
2010 Oscar Results.

Sandra Bullock didn't win an Oscar and a Razzie for the same role...the Oscar wasn't for All About Steve, the Razzie was.
She actually went to the Razzies to get it (I wonder if anyone other than her and Halle Berry have actually appeared to claim their prize?) and brought along a box of DVDs of the film.
