  1. Yeah, but never underestimate the power of FREE!
  2. They very well might later on. However, in the near term this gets them something modern and western to examine and use under their terms, "to see how the other half lives" as it were. That knowledge can then be applied to upgrading or designing their own stuff later.
  3. I've used an electric daily since I was 17. If I try and go more than about 30 hrs without shaving, though, the razor starts to choke on it around my chin. My facial hair grows way to fast and thick for my convenience. I know a guy who only shaves every other day and even then he has less on day 2 than I have after less than 24 hrs! Dammit...
  4. Yes, in youth vs experience youth will often lose. What sucks is once you get the experience you've lost the youth.
  5. The Robot Chicken skit of the stormtrooper bringing his daughter on the attack on Leia's ship at the beginning of Star Wars for "take your kid to work day" was hilarious too.
  6. Well, in this case something more precious than money!
  7. Why is it a pair of panties, but just one bra? Why does cargo go by ship, but shipments by trucks? How can you have a hot water heater, when you don't need to heat hot water?
  8. I think "shape" has to be the most bland euphemism ever invented!
  9. I forgot Belarus had Flankers. I just watched Defiance about the Jewish resistance in Belarus last weekend, too.
  10. Big rotors are never quiet. The Chinook isn't known for being stealthy. The way to make a helo quieter is to lower rotor RPM, but I don't know what RPM the V-22 uses vs others.
  11. It was a beautiful launch. Night launches are only surpassed by sunset ones where you get banding on the exhaust trail from the setting sun.
  12. Sorry, but once again these countries prove just how concerned they are with the sizes of their political pricks as opposed to what is actually best for their people.
  13. It's just displaying your post count in the metric system.
  14. Aw, now I REALLY wish there was MP in SF2.
  15. Innovation in the days before Photoshop!
  16. I spent hours playing F-19 on my 8088 for years until I got my 386. Then it finally played like it was supposed to (it took me 30 mins instead of 2 hrs to fly a mission!) but I also started getting newer better sims like SWOTL and Falcon 3.
  17. If Independence Day took place during WWI...
  18. Home on jam. The missile forgoes using a radar lock and instead locks onto the ECM emissions of the target.
  19. Yak-38 FTW!!!!!!
  20. The plan view looks odd, like the first F-117 pic that was released was. I think there was a mistranslation there, as I think the T-50 is a priority for the aviation industry, but I'm pretty sure irrelevant to the airline industry.
  21. Oh, in that second pic I can just make out the fin of an AA-12 next to that X-59MK2.
  22. That South Park episode riffing on Heavy Metal was great, and it had the car and bombers in it, too.
  23. It's no sim in particular, this is a discussion about the real thing. However, you can fly the B-47, A-5A, and A-6A and drop nukes in the Thirdwire sims (with the appropriate mods for it).
  24. I believe it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the World Court at The Hague that there is no good pun.
  25. I've learned pretty much any day I debate whether or not to go to work...I shouldn't go, because it's guaranteed to be a sucky day.
