:D Funny! I think that is the one role it is NOT designed to perform... -Skater

CNN was reporting today that Pat Tillman was probably KIA as a result of a fratricide. Tillman was posthumously awarded the SS and the PH. A Lt. Gen. conducting the press conference said that no one was to blame. It was a "fog of war" incident. -Skater

Yes, and in Afghanistan as well.

This is an actual, production, derivative of the trusty Herc. They use that aircraft for broadcast of radio and tv and also to intercept radio and tv. -Skater

I think what he meant by not a joke was that it was an official design proposal, which it is. I have seen that proposal before. So far, it's not recieving much attention or merit, THANK GOD. -Skater

Good luck Brother. Go with God. Keep the shiny side up and come back safe. -Skater

Look at it this way Snap... You are an ex-fighter pilot. You are also the Prez. So you are holding all the strings, you can pull whichever you want to get what you want. Now here is your choice.... 1.Trap aboard ship in the back of a COD like cargo. -or- 2. Trap aboard ship in the right seat of an S-3 like a co-pilot. Your choice. Screw the publicity and photo ops and whatever... Which would YOU choose??? I rest my case. ;) -Skater

I salute him for his sacrifice. I commend him for his selflessness. I thank him for his service. I wish for him eternal peace. "No greater love hath a man who layeth down his life for his friends..." God Speed Ramon Ojeda. My condolences to his family and to you PC Pilot. -Skater

Same here. I was cracking the hell up when the tire iron and the jack was tossed overboard. Very, very funny! Showed it to my wife... She totally did not get it. Oh well. -Skater

1993? Paul's Boutique. I remember it well. Ch-Check it Out is pretty good. Some great old school sounds on there. -Skater

Stay safe Gator, and come back shiny side up. -Skater

I have bought helmets and parts from Check6. Top Notch outfit, and good prices depending on availability. -Skater

The Tweak Guide Part II is out. Tell me what you guys think, and feel free to send me any tweaks you know of to be added to the list. -Skater

It took a while to compile from a variety of sources, but as far as Windows XP services and gaming, this now seems to be the most complete and definitive guide now available on the 'net. Part II will be published soon, and Part III sometime after that. Originally, it was designed as a Two-Part serier, but a Third part will be a comparison test with benchmarks. If you have not seen the article, take a look at it, and sound off in here and let me know what you think. -Skater

That's not a P-80 Shooting Star, it's a Bell XP-80. The experimental aircraft did not make it into production, but was the first US Jet aircraft. Sounds like you had a great trip. The Smithsonian is AWESOME! -Skater

Zag, send me your address, I have 5 copies (binder version). I'll send you one. -Skater

OK, I died like, a billion times! I kept getting blasted into or fell into the lava pits. Overall though, the volcano level was too short and the game ended too abruptly, as if they were dying to finish the game and put it out. I was hoping for more. On the whole... Friggin' fantastic game man!!! Can't wait for the mods to start hitting the 'net. -Skater

Amazing! Simply Amazing! I can't believe how good it is. I have been playing nonstop. I just nuked the research facility and got kicked out of the chopper by Krieger. I am now at the beginning of the Dam level. This is probably the best game of it's kind that I have ever played. Yes... I think it is. Those Trigens have been scaring the s**t out of me since I first saw one. I am in awe. -Skater

I got it today, and I can't believe what I am reading in the manual and what I see as I am installing it... 4GB of installation space needed Only supports specific ATI and nVidia chipsets MUST have Catalyst drivers v3.9 The list goes on... I just hope once I get it installed, the gameplay justifies all this pickiness and super hardware requirements. -Skater

Shift-F1 will put the reticle into view in all aircraft. In German aircraft, the offset is more pronounced, but it is offset in all aircraft. You cannot shoot properly without using the reticle view or another boresighted view. -Skater

Seems like they are doing it again then. Becasue, after all, 3dfx was taken over by nVidia, and most of the 3dfx management, went on to positions with nVidia. So it's really no surprise that they would go back to business as usual. -Skater

Ok, I removed this topic entirely for obvious reasons. But in case you are not clear as to why... 1. DO NOT SPAM THE FRIGGIN' FORUMS 2. Do not post password cracks/hacks or links to sites with password cracks/hacks. 3. Do not post pranks/bots/nukes/trojan horse programs or links to sites that contain them. 4. SEE RULE NUMBER 1 -Skater

Ok, this has gone on long enough. The thread was locked, and now, so is this one. We can't have whining threads about every locked thread now, can we gentlemen? Let's get back to our normal posting habits please. Thank you. -Skater

Car chases and gun fights... Nothing beats Heat and Ronin. Both kick-ass DeNiro movies. -Skater

I am almost there Ruger. It will be 16 years as of 24 JUL. I'll be joining you in a short four. Thanks for hanging in there Shipmate. -Skater
