  1. 180 years ago: The King is dead, long live the Nation!

    Sorry bro, didn't understand, what another one are we going to see soon? What do you call when a person, somebodies mom or dad who works 9-10h a day, 27 days a month, and gets a wage with which they cannot pay all their bills or buy school books or pair of shoes for their children, while at the same time the owner of the company where the person works cannot decide what yacht to buy for upcoming season. And when you ask your government what they think of it they say that gvnmt. shouldn't dictate minimum wages, that it shouldn't intervene cause in "free market" things regulate themselves and that workers should work longer before they are allowed to go to miserable pension. It's neofeudalism. Then there are two types of capitalism: industrial capitalism and financial capitalism. Ind. capitalism employes large numbers of people and produces tangible goods, financ. capitalism on the other hand employs very few, and produces nothing, but extra profits for the elite (these are hedge funds, investment banks with their fin. securities, credit derivatives,and other speculative junk). You are fortunate to live in a country where industrial faction is very powerful and influetal, like in Japan or Korea, where ind. capitalist understand that in order to sell their products workers need to be able to buy them, and must have decent wages. In a country where financ. capitalism is at large, the only results are selling of hard assets in order to make a bundle of money, skyrocketing unemployment, bubbles and debt.As far as monarchies go, all British and Belgic primeminister and top party officials were members and come directly from royal institutes, round tables and other nondemocratic assemblies that are set by king. When asked, what kind of politics do they represent and what they stand for, current queen Elizabeth II answered: "We are older than capitalism or socialism" , and that's true because they represent feudalism.

    I also live in a republic, and I'm not happy with it. That is 'cause my country like many others isn't true republic. Republica, latin; res publica - public matter. Not kings matter, or matter of few ultra powerfull. Rather we live in oligarchical republics. If power is truly to reside in people, they would never vote for never ending indebtedness, deindustrialisation. overtaxation, massive unemployment, selling of fundamental public infrastructure to paper thin stratum of usurer financiers, dismantlement of economic and social rights that were fought for and build for decades. But in oligarchical republic, the little man can vote all he wants cause in the end he will be duped by the elite. Today european monarch is not an absolute monarch of of 19 century type, but he is rather inter crossed with oligarchy, and their common objective is what it always was, to loot the population and maintain their status. Genuine republic in my book is the best thing there is, foundation of USA and its course through much of the 19th century is the brightest example. And it was founded in struggle against oligarchical British empire that exists today in the very same form but not size.

    All in all, 12 more degenerate, inbred, hereditary, neofeudal monarchies are at throne on our beloved old continent. Citizens of the fifth republic should clean the rust of the guillotines, and hand them over to their republican brothers in those countries to cut of the serpents heads once and for all. Vive la Republiqe, Vive la Résistance!
  4. I think that installment of such devices an all commercial jets in States that those senators/congressman are proposing is unnecessary and that threat is exaggerated. It seems like two high level politicians are lobbying for certain private arms producer. But then again its me so who knows. :)
  5. Has any other country or operator ordered this system? The device seems cool, but how many times did the passanger jet (or any other kind of civilian jet) got shot by shoulder fired missiles since these weapons exist. I only know for two or three incidents in last 50 years, and only one was fatal. USSR and USA together have shot down more civilian airplanes (including liners full of passangers), than any terrorist could ever dream of. Again, Israeli hi-tech industry is some of the best in the world, but is there a market for this device beside Israel?

    Two Saskatchewan farmers, Jim and Bob, are sitting at their favorite bar, drinking beer. Jim turns to Bob and says, "You know, I'm tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the community college, and sign up for some classes." Bob thinks it's a good idea, and the two leave. The next day, Jim goes down to the college and meets the Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, History, and Logic. "Logic?" Jim says. "What's that?" The Dean says, "I'll give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?" "Yeah." "Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater, I think that you would have a yard." "That's true, I do have a yard." "I'm not done," the dean says. "Because you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house." "Yes, I do have a house." "And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family." "Yes, I have a family." "I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual." "I am a heterosexual. That's amazing; you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed eater." Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean's hand and leaves to go meet Bob at the bar. He tells Bob about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English,History, and Logic. "Logic?" Bob says, "What's that?" Jim says, "I'll give you an example. Do you have a weed eater?" "No." "Then you're a queer."

    Great impersonation of a great movie. Good thing I didn't serve in the army cause I wouldn't stop laughing!
  13. i did it. But it's AIRBRAKE, not DIVEBRAKE. That confused me. Thanks!
  14. Where are divebrakes in data ini, in which section? Can't find it anywhere.
  15. I will fly with it too. Thanks for all your work!
  16. I downloaded Marcfighters Gnat the first time, but it shows no undercarriage. So I thought there was something more that it needed, like in the case of F-104A. Since there is no attach option in this post, I uploaded the Gnat screenshot in my profile gallery.
  17. Don't have SF2NA. One more question: Gnat isn't included as stock aircraft so I guess one has to download it from this site, right? Cause I see that there is a enhancement pack recommended for it in install. instructions.

    A young couple is out carousing one evening. While driving down the highway the guy says to the girl, "If I go 100 miles an hour, will you take off your clothes?" She agrees and he begins to speed up. When the speedometer hits 100 she starts to strip. When she gets all her clothes off he is so busy staring at her that he drives off the road and flips the car. The girl is thrown clear without a scratch but her clothes and her boyfriend are trapped in the car. "Go get help," he pleads. She replies, "I can't, I'm naked." He points to his shoe that was thrown clear and says "Cover yourself with that and go get help." She takes the shoe, covers herself, and runs to the gas station down the road. When she arrives she is frantic and yells to the attendant, "Help! Help! My boyfriend's stuck!" The attendant looks down at the shoe covering her crotch and replies, "I'm sorry Miss. He's too far in."

    The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publikenthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vordskontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

    Most parents need to take a hint from Santa on how to deal with the greedy little brats they’ve raised!! Love it! Dear Santa, How are you? How is Mrs. Claus? I hope everyone, from the reindeer to the elves, is fine. I have been a very good boy this year. I would like an X-Box 360 with Call of Duty IV and an iPhone 4 for Christmas. I hope you remember that when Christmas Day comes. Merry Christmas,Timmy Jones * * Dear Timmy, Thank you for you letter. Mrs. Claus, the reindeer and the elves are all fine and thank you for asking about them. Santa is a little worried all the time you spend playing video games and texting. Santa wouldn't want you to get fat. Since you have indeed been a good boy, I think I'll bring you something you can go outside and play with. Merry Christmas, Santa Claus *** Mr. Claus, Seeing that I have fulfilled the "naughty vs. Nice" contract, set by you I might add, I feel confident that you can see your way clear to granting me what I have asked for. I certainly wouldn't want to turn this joyous season into one of litigation. Also, don't you think that a jab at my weight coming from an overweight man who goes out once a year is a bit trite? Respectfully,Tim Jones * * Mr. Jones, While I have acknowledged you have met the "nice" criteria, need I remind you that your Christmas list is a request and in no way is it a guarantee of services provided. Should you wish to pursue legal action, well that is your right. Please know, however, that my attorney's have been on retainer ever since the Burgermeister Meisterburger incident and will be more than happy to take you on in open court. Additionally, the exercise I alluded to will not only improve your health, but also improve your social skills and potentially help clear up a complexion that looks like the bottom of the Burger King fry bin most days. Very Truly Yours,S. Claus * * Now look here Fat Man, I told you what I want and I expect you to bring it! I was attempting to be polite about this but you dissed my looks and my friends. Now you just be disrespecting me. I'm about to tweet my boys and we’re gonna be waiting for your fat ass and I'm taking my game console, my game, my phone, and whatever I want. WHAT EVER I WANT’s BRA!! T-Bone * * Listen Pizza Face, Seriously??? You think a dude that breaks into every house in the world on one night and never gets caught sweats a skinny G-banger wannabe? "He sees you when you're sleeping; He knows when you're awake". Sound familiar, genius? You know what kind of resources I have at my disposal. I got your s**t wired, Jack. I go all around the world and see ways to hurt people that if I described them right now, you'd throw up your Totino's pizza roll all over the carpet of your mom's basement. You're not getting what you asked for, but I'm still stopping by your crib to stomp a mud hole in you're ass and then walk it dry. Chew on that, Petunia. S Clizzy * * Dear Santa, Bring me whatever you see fit. I'll appreciate anything. Timmy * * Timmy, That's what I thought you little bastard. Santa
  24. Anybody using FreeTrack?

    Anybody with experience of it? Apparently it is much cheaper to make your own optical motion tracking device with FreeTrack software than to buy for instance TrackIR 5. And what about its compatibility with different flight sims?
