  1. I loved the comment on SNL this weekend. "OJ was found guilty of murder. I'm sorry, he was found guilty of theft, assault, but really murder."
  2. It's not like there are no more 53s out there. The USMC has plenty of the E model and has a new K model program underway.
  3. Right, that's what I said. Deltas don't have that paint scheme and those are obviously not single-seaters ergo Beagles!
  4. So, what about those of us on this side of the Atlantic?
  5. Interesting, I know there had been some speculation it would've been during Kirk's era instead of Picard's.
  6. I've never seen Deltas with that dark paint scheme, that's always been the Beagle's forte.
  7. There was talk of making Clancy's Without Remorse (which has Clark participating in an ancilliary way with that op) about 10 years ago, but then all that happened was Sum of All Fears got made and Clancy films never returned.
  8. Ah, well that's an interesting way to display it then without having to repair or display busted landing gear.
  9. Ok, raise your hand if you had the brisket and the apples with honey!
  10. It's inevitable. For instance, SimHQ c. 2008 is nothing like SimHQ c. 2000 when I first started there. That 6 years after SFP1's release things are different is no real surprise.
  11. Haven't met anyone since the 90s, when I went to Las Vegas and NJ for a couple simming LAN meets. That was back in the days of Prodigy and CIS, pre-Internet. We flew Falcon 3, Air Warrior, and a little World Circuit: GP. I don't think I've seen a single one of those people I met there online for 10 years now.
  12. The Simpsons was great in its first decade, but when the X Files went off the air I didn't keep watching Sunday nights. Family Guy I've loved since day 1, but it's silly to say it rips off the Simpsons. It has its own style which is unique enough to make South Park rip on it. Anyway, I own all the FG eps on DVD (and South Park too!) and none of Simpsons, so...
  13. How about Sins of a Solar Empire? It's SF, but it scales from large-scale down to individual ships. You can't upgrade the small fighters and bombers, but all the others you can.
  14. Oh, ok, "gate guards" have their gear retracted, yes. I'm not talking about them, though, I mean more museum-style displays like that SHar.
  15. Actually, I should amend that statement. The fastest thing to ever fly over my house, and it has done so several times, is an orbiter returning to KSC. They're still supersonic when they pass overhead, not dropping subsonic until they actually reach KSC.
  16. Interesting, I've never seen an airplane on outdoor display with its gear retracted to appear "in flight". Only hanging from ceilings in large indoor museums. A nice touch!
  17. I think the fastest thing over my house was an F-15C flying CAP for the final Columbia launch that had the Israeli astronaut on board. The most important thing ever to fly over my house was Marine One.
  18. The good news for you is the X3100 is the BEST Intel integrated chip they ever made. However, that's a bit like saying "This is the best Yugo ever built".
  19. Well well, they actually have done a good job on the UI. I'm very surprised as I thought it was a cultural block preventing them from doing it.

    Today's Funny

    Well.
  21. I'm not sure what's wrong with the Rafale...maybe it was the lack of the word "Mirage" in the name...but it sure has been a bust for Dassault. However, seeing as it likely has little in common with the M2000, but the MiG-29K DOES have stuff in common with other Russian jets, from a logistics perspective I can see that the 29K would be favored every time.
  22. Well, the 117 was designed "stealth first, fly later" so that doesn't surprise me.
  23. I thought it was actually based more on the F/A-18 (which entered service just as the 117 was being designed)...cockpit, engines, and other stuff. F-15 gear, though.
  24. Watch for the debut of the USS Chevy Chase on SNL.
