Russ, it needs to swivel and tilt like a AAA gun. Then I can make something for it, sort of like what takes place on this video at 2:17

Perhaps she's auditioning for a new role: "The Slattern From Saturn"

The projected combined casualties were 1.27 million for Kyushu alone, nevermind the remaining home islands. http://www.airforcemag.com/MagazineArchive/Pages/2009/June%202009/0609invasion.aspx

Nah....we should do something sweet for him. Such as, drenching him in honey and burying him up to his chest next to a colony of fire ants or, better yet, in the path of an army ant "raid".

Thanks, guys!

Happy Birthday, Jay

Warp drive, in our lifetimes? http://news.yahoo.com/engage-warp-drive-could-become-reality-quantum-thruster-114310551.html

The RCS and heat signature modifier statements have been available in-game for about the last 7 years or so. Marcelo's F-117A was stealthy to within 3 NM of a powerful air-intercept radar. I used the MF F-14B to fine-tune the F-117's RCS statement, and the AIM-9M to tune the heat signature. The only issue is that both are uni-directional, as opposed to aspect specific, values

The GT 620 is your weak link. It is actually less capable than the onboard video on the latest AMD APUs and Intel Haswell CPUs. The following chart compares the previous generation of AMD and Intel onboard solutions. Notice that the GT 620 paired with the AMD A-10 is actually less capable than that same processor when it's using it's embedded video (A-10 5800K).

For a second there, I was expecting you to tell us that you saved a lot on your automobile insurance, but to take advantage of it, you needed to move to Antarctica

One of the mysteries surrounding the sinking of the Titanic revolves around how much warning the ship had that an iceberg lay directly in it's path. In theory, on a clear night, the 'berg should have been visible as a dark mass against the backdrop of the night sky, while it was still several nautical miles away. Evidence now points out the 'berg was rendered invisible due to refraction (caused by an atmospheric inversion layer), resulting in "cold-water mirages". This video, from the Smithsonian channel, delves into this: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/sc/web/full-episodes/titles/20641/titanics-final-mystery

I have it from reliable sources that Godzilla never emerged with red anti-fouling paint on his dorsal spines or back. However: The iceberg suspected of having sunk the RMS Titanic. This iceberg was photographed by the chief steward of the liner Prinz Adalbert on the morning of April 15, 1912, just a few miles south of where the “Titanic” went down. The steward hadn't yet heard about the Titanic. What caught his attention was the smear of red paint along the base of the berg, indication that it had collided with a ship sometime in the previous twelve hours. This photo and information was taken from "UNSINKABLE" The Full Story of RMS Titanic written by Daniel Allen Butler, Stackpole Books 1998. Other accounts indicated that there were several icebergs in the vicinity where the TITANIC collided. Source:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Titanic_iceberg.jpg

I've witnessed the "giant ship" effect, and I've also seen the "shrinking ship" effect while running offshore. Inversion layers are quite common here during the spring and early summer, before the water temperature gets above the ambient night-time temperature on land.

Kevin, that "smallcargoship" is about the right size in-game for an oil-lighter. They are normally used to deliver lubricant oil to ships that are berthed or in protected anchorages. Here's a modern one: http://www.workboat.com/imagedetail.aspx?id=4294990765

Kev, The Nanuchkas can be berthed bow "out", as they do not require tugs for docking, and, you could raft a bunch of them, as well. Another option is to place a Kiev-class where the Kresta is now. What might also look cool are a few barges and lighters replenishing the ships.

RIP. I have always had the utmost respect for submariners.

The "meatball" is not supported by this series. If it were, trust me, someone would have already set up a working one.

Yes, it's an ad, but the story behind it is real: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CER06i-qvyo

This video put a smile on my face, as I am a fan of "backyard engineering". The Chevy Monza was essentially a re-skinned Vega, with a factory V8. My old Vega (into which I shoe-horned a 283 cube small block) weighed about 400 lbs less than the Monza in the video, and was real hoot to drive.

It was a 1972 GT, it was only four years old at the time, and was already on its second pot-metal 4 (the first seized within four months of rolling out of the dealer's lot). At 36,000 miles, the second engine was blowing through a quart of oil every three to four days at which point my brother gave it to me so I could pass my driving test with it. It was cherry, otherwise. I started a thread some years ago, detailing my adventures putting that car together on a shoe-string budget: http://combatace.com/topic/35283-my-first-project-car/

Dude, that's like so yesterday. Pick one of these up, and then drop any SATA drive into it: http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-BlacX-eSATA-Docking-Station/dp/B001A4HAFS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top It has both USB & eSATA interfaces. If you run it under eSATA, you'll not notice any difference between your internal and external drives when it comes to speed. Buy drives with 5 year warranties (like WD blacks), and you'll be set.

All I can say (in the words of Stitch Jones), is: "You been freeze-dried or doing time? There haven't been any hippies runnin' 'round in years...."

No, but I have a Budgie named Roscoe........
