  1. Mach numbers are not the same thing as airspeed. Actually, there are a lot of different types of airspeed, but we'll stick with true and mach. True airspeed is how fast you are moving through the air. You're mach number is the true airspeed relative to the speed of sound. As Dwcace said, it depends on your altitude. At sea level, the speed of sound is 776 mph. As you go up in altitude, the air gets thinner, and the speed of sound drops. Something like 640 mph at 30000 ft. Therefore, if you are traveling at the same true airspeed, your moach will be higher at altitude then at the ground. It really doesn't matter whether your flying level or climbing or descending, the instantaneous mach will be the same, though it will tend to get lower as you descend, higher as you climb. Etc. Did you get that, or do I need to rephrase myself? :D
  2. I suggest watching college hockey. It's more fun anyways :)
  3. Danish Squid:
  4. Agreed. Those are amazing guys!
  5. Guess I should reply as well :D I havn't personally done anything with the new owners before, so I don't really know what they're like. But from everything I've heard, and I'm sure MJ wouldn't trust the site to them without knowing they were good, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. Welcome!
  6. That's one hell of a water hazard...
  7. Thanks for it MJ. I don't think it was used too much, but nontheless, at least someone was willing to keep one up :D

    Hey guys!

    Wow, that sounds pretty fun. Glad you had a good time, and welcome back!

  10. Wow... they hit a mountain that wasn't on the charts. And it didn't penetrate the inner hull. That is insane. Good find!
  11. I thought this fit quite nicely :D Be forewarned, it does have some mild language to it. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/
  12. Apparently, it has been fixed. All is well :)
  13. A little off topic, but I thought you guys would want to see this: "We do realize that GMail is an invitation-only service, in a beta-test state of development. Nevertheless, many people rely upon GMail heavily, and many more people are forced to communicate with GMail users, because of this reliance. These people should expect their communications to be vulnerable to interception, at least until GMail corrects the issue." http://dump.hbx.us/gmail_bug_hack/

    Help!

    Click "My Controls". Under the Personal Profile section on the left, click "Change Personal Photo". You can put up your picture there.
  15. The PF team came out with patch 3.03 a few days ago: Whoever's got the game should probably get this. Post here when you've got it. A few of the guys from my squad fly every now and then, and we'd love to have you join us!
  16. I agree, happy new year everyone!
  17. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/12/29/news_6115594.html An interview with Ubisoft's CEO about the transaction.
  18. LOL Actually, it took me a while to figure out how do to that too But, as it seems you now have the game loaded fine, come join my squad on multiplayer! TSF is the name, the first person shooter part of PG. Server IP is 69.72.224.66:12215. But be careful, some of our guys are awesome ;) I'd love to see you in there sometime chief (and anyone else who has MOHAA).
  19. Hey, all you hockey fans out there! What with the NHL on hold for who knows how long, I was wondering if any of you saw that the World Junior Hockey Tournament was going on over break. Whats the most interesting about it though, is that the tournament is being held in the town I go to college at--Grand Forks, ND. It's really kind of cool, I got to show some of my coworkers (in kansas) where the pep band (which I'm in) sits to play, where I fly some RC blimps at during intermissions, etc. Really cool So, make sure to watch some hockey, and think of me when you see how nice the arena is P.S. The one I was watching a few nights ago was USA vs. Sweden. At the end of the 2nd period, it was 2-0 USA. In the first 5:20 of the third period, 7 goals were scored, making the score 5-4 USA
  20. When I heard that was how much the US was giving, I also thought that was a bit low. Really, I think with that kind of disaster, it should at least be in the hundred millions, if not around a billion. However, that money should not come from "raising taxes", but rather come from the horribly high welfare budgets. But, that's getting political...
  21. Glad to be of service
  22. Yeah, you should be fine NC. Sure, cable and DSL are better, but you should still be able to have fun on dialup.
  23. Apparently, they already signed a contract with the NFL saying that can be the only one to make games about it. EA makes some decent games, but I'll be glad when the monopoly commission cracks down on them and stop these friggen business practices.
  24. Yeah, I heard about this coming... At least Microsoft (the last monopoly thing) at least is known for being a good company, both to customers and its employers.
  25. I don't think it matters. If I remember correctly, you can run it from anywhere. But I could very easily be remembering incorrectly.
