  1. Yes, it does. You can't admit to murdering a person with premeditation and call it an accident at the same time. Just as you can't make a decision with full knowledge of the facts to not fireproof a building and then claim you made a mistake after the building burns. It wasn't a mistake, it was a calculated and intentional act. But then, I don't expect conspiracy theorists to have any more precision in their use of words than in their research.
  2. Bullsh*t. An intentional mistake is not a mistake by definition. Now I see why you are on Colbert's list.
  3. There is a difference between a mistake or miscalculation and doing something stupid in the full knowledge of its consequences. Sorry thats not "semantics." By using the term "construction fault" you are giving cover to some people who bear a degree of responsibility for what happened. Just like the 9/11 Comission gave cover to a lot of people who bear the responsibility for not apprehending ObL in the 1990s.
  4. A fault indicates a mistake or an unforseen failure. This was done on purpose and with the full knowledge of its ramifications. Its both possible and likely that the terrorists chose the WWTC in part because they knew of this weakness. I believe it was widely publicised at the time of construction.
  5. Actually there is a real conspiracy in the situation, but its not an off the wall absurd one like you propose. The WTC should have been built with an asbestos coating sprayed onto the steel girders. It was not, due to environmental wackos, even though the asbestos would have been in the building's structural interior, and unlikely to find its way into the occupied areas. Had the asbestos been in place...well we can only speculate, but we can say for certain that a fire-protection known to be very effective was denied to the WTC for specious reasons.
  6. Conspiracy theorists need to be introduced to Occam's Razor.
  7. I don't buy that for a second.
  8. I don't know what the blip this is...but...well just watch. Si teh funs! Oh and read the comments below the video from all the fancy-boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ7vFi29eGI
  9. We know the terrain will be awesome becasue its Deuces. What about object placement? That's what seems to be the limiting factor in add-on terrain quality.
  10. We built this knowledge base on rooooooock and roooooll

    On Notice!

    Kick him square in the 'nads and he will stop.
  12. Supa Hornet is pretty ugly. The old Hornet had nice lines but the stretching and bloating required to make it Supa ruins it. The XF8U-3 was sick-ugly and maybe the greatest exception to the rule of "it it looks right, it will fly."
  13. Someone was obviously constipated. Tell him to frack off next time. :yes:
  14. I remember driving by the airport and seeing that plane not long after the accident occurred.
  15. Damn Dave, take some Metamucil and go relieve the pressure man...
  16. For once I have to agree with Bob. USAFBLT Dan, if that is really his name, is often seen cavorting with women who are not wearing proper islamic garb. I once personally saw him allow his wife to leave the hose in a short burkah that exposed her ankle. He also listens to the great Satan Barry Manilow and for this alone should have his testicles beaten with rods made of strong reeds from the Tigris and then thrown into the shredder.
  17. The only thing I disagree with Dave on is that I think its fine for people to post requests. This is a good way to gauge demand for a new aircraft or other item, but it should not be done in a thread that is an announcement or discussion of another aircraft/item. Other than that I am 100% behind the OP.
  18. The Best Buy stuff is fine. Its usually Kingston or some other well-known brand. Just make sure it is the right ype (DDR, DDR2, etc.) and is compatible with your front-side bus speed.
  19. TK has addressed this in the past and said it is by design.

    Your thoughts

    What accents?
  21. Here is the story: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=3806084&page=1
  22. Just heard on the radio that Paul Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay, died today. I think they said he was 92.
  23. It works! Thanks a bunch! This will make campaign editing a lot easier now.
