The Janis Rock of ancient mythology. Just made that up, but it sounds right. Typh, you didn't show her the rock and tell her about it? Well at least it wasn't an Apollo moon rock. I bet that happened to somebody somewhere....got un-mooned.

Erik:: I don't even know what I just wrote. I don't use much high bandwidth stuff, so its kinda off my screen, which could be my problem understanding you here. All I know is I most trust Karl Denninger at Market Ticker and he reads like Typhoid here. Denninger is also tough as nails, and that reminds me of Dave here. They have to be related lol. srs.

Spot on Typhoid! Thanks. Another one of us is Karl Denninger who runs, and programmed the forum software for, the Market Ticker website. ~> http://tickerforum.org/akcs-www Lots of ex~miltary and airline pilots hang out there in the comments. Czech it out. Denninger poasts about this subject from time to time, in relation to the Netflix Fad. ---- --- -- - I suppose this is mostly about Netflix, or appears to be, and our desire to watch unlimited high res full length movies...for free...on computers. Maybe instead of learning by reading html or, PDF. You see, I used to do lots of computer programming, Fortran mainly, heavy teh maths simulation stuff, and when I wanted a mental break, I turn the stupid computer OFF and fire up an old fashioned TV with DVD player, and the pressure melts away. Watch a movie on a flipping computer? I never have, and I never will. Wretchfest Maximus. Yea, I'd rather buy DVDs, but since I only buy the very few movies that are really good quality historically, its affordable. Also, pawn shops are a great source of used gem DVDs for cheap. I am amzed at the junk so many souls watch on their computers instead of going out into real life -- because its "free" essentially...Netlfix. Its disgusting. But I've done the same thing, but instead hid away from life behind my Fortran compiler. I do understand. So Typhoid, is this like "mericans" naturally always voting for free stuff and in the end finding that the only thing free left is -- nothing. Literally, nothing is indeed free. Or maybe not lol. End times stuff there hehe. As for cable companies being "bad" well dump the stupid cable, and network stuff as well. Dump it all. All I do is watch a TV and DVDs. I have never watched a broadcast signal, not air, not sat, not cable, not internet, on my TV for about 6 years now. But I did read the Nightwatch last nite. :)

They are beefing up, not folding to terrorists ~> http://zeenews.india.com/news/jammu-and-kashmir/pakistan-allows-beating-retreat-ceremony-at-wagah-after-blast_1493435.html An odd target perhaps, as this in a small way could unite Pakistan's and India's militaries, at least on this count, a pea wea bit.

They went at the fancy dance crossing point between Pakistan and India, roundabout 55 dead -- among the dancers and viewers I suppose. I recall a smooth The CombatAce thread about that border point a year or two back. 2 November 2014 : Pakistan: : : The daily ceremony always draws a large crowd, which the suicide bomber targeted. This is the first time that this symbol of national pride has been attacked. ~ http://www.kforcegov.com/Services/IS/NightWatch/NightWatch_14000232.aspx Funny since that thread where I learned about it, I think about that border ceremony at least once a week maybe, it always pops up in my mind out of nowhere. Its so interesting to see.

I wush a Tu-95 or whatever they are called now would fly over my town, flip out my PENTAX (makers of feminumnum products they make cameras too).

wow. Apparently, he leads in this pic here, 1962 ~> http://www.f-106deltadart.com/photo_gallery/index.php/5th-FIS/8-Ship-1962 What if Thunderbirds used F-106 instead, you think that could have been more successful? Granted they probably didn't want to spare any, not many made, but there can't be any more inspiring airplane made, ever.

ewww, edit, forgot to mention, click an image fade once on one of the photos to change it, so alt+tab gives alternate views of two different pics. I always forget something.

NESH this is amazing. Great photo setups here. Wanna see something neat, better than the hit or miss slow image fade? Instructions (1) Open Nesh's link in a new window, then open it *again* in a new window. So you have two open web browser windows to the page Nesh's found. (2) With these two open windows to the Nesh page, one window after another....scroll up-down to each photo so they are positioned exactly the same on your screen. (3) Now Alt+Tab between windows and you see instant switch between Olde and New photos. Better, put mouse on your taskbar in one window then another window, then choose one of the two and lay your mouse cursor on it, then just click and click away to see quick alternating pics to compare. Its just a Tad simpler than Alt+Tab, but don't let your mouse fall out of the chosen taskbar window selection. This is like the old blink comparator devices used in photography, especially astrophotograpy where you want to find some difference between two almost identical photos. thanks nesh!!@!

Damaged Russian Submarine cornered by Swedish Navy?

Just got the Bedford Incident DVD, fantastic movie. Richard Widmark ASROCKS!!! -
Han shot first, dammit. New Star Trak did time travel? Maybe outside of isolated one-offs like the cute whale movie, or to get Kirk and Picard exchanging lines on set, time travel is jumping the whale, er, shark. Even Bab~5 used time travel as a core series element , but it was used for only one purpose. To me that might be acceptable, perhaps. I found it corny for an otherwise "realistic" Bab~5 universe of characters. Anyways, always loved the original colonial viper pit. C. Viper cockpit reconstructed ~> http://www.joelowens.org/bsg/viper.html

back at uni, I was tutoring a student in a classroom, and near time up, a quite "liberal" professor entered to get ready for his upcoming class. We talked about Peace®© Prise, and he said that teh Yasser Arafats was a Great Hero or something like that, proven by Arafats winning the Peace Prize. I said it was nothing but global banking politics, as Henry Kissenger had also won the same prize. Professor said, totally stumped, yea I had a point. The student I was tutoring witnessed this, and it was the most important lesson learned that day. yea, Malala :thumbs~up: !!!

How do you choose a title for a military campaign
Lexx_Luthor replied to MigBuster's topic in The Pub
Indeed. I have heard of the casualties by the morning hour, resulting in immediate authorization of Have More Beer. Cancelling Have Beer would only throw away what has been already spent. Best to keep the program going. -
One of the men, I'm sure you'd all like to have 'a chat with?'
Lexx_Luthor replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in The Pub
Hanging. More swing, less mess. For those of you following The Nightwatch, teh Talibanese have recently adopted the practice of beheading, wonder where they got that idea. Butt, some local Afghan village defeated and captured them, and the Talibans were all hanged high. The wild wild west way. I'll try to find that NW its a good example of everybody should be free to arm themselves and defend themselves. -

Ah yes, Have Chat and Have Bat. -
Because flares are the cool thing now, well, hot thing. srs though, if you followed the Donbass conflict this hot HOT east Ukraine summer, you'd see Ukraine.kiev aircraft dumping flares like mad on the youtube vids. Made me think of Erin Gray as Wilma Deering in the Buck Rogers she was AUSSOM. Love Gil Gerard too. Interesting man.

Salute Jarhead!!! Dunno, but Israel has many friends, and many old Russian ties. ria.ru in English... note the capitalization of the title. Vladimir Putin to Celebrate His Birthday on Tuesday in Siberian Taiga ... Taiga = Forest For those who can't believe it, we conslut msn.com ~> 6'>Putin celebrates 62nd birthday in wild Siberia ...and FOXNEWS ~> Putin celebrates birthday in Siberian wilderness 150 miles from nearest town What's most amazing is only the Russian.ru news site, in English, properly capitalizes the title, where the western news sites are both Epic Fail in English usage. I've noted this trend in western news sites for some years. Putin has the right idea. Siberia, specifically for me, Lake Baikal, is where I want to visit. That's one result of making my experimental SF supermaps centered on Lake Baikal. That's only thing I hated about the Sochi "winter" Olympics -- if you do WINTER olympics, you hold it in SIBERIA during winter, not the Black Sea coast. ... or you hold Kamchatka Winter Olympics yea!!!

lol that is fun thanks. A hat tip though, something BBC.gov won't talk about: although I am not the artist here, but it wasn't entirely Putin voting at the UN that shut down US humanitarian bombing of Syria, it was Putin getting Assad to turn in his chemical weapons to the UN, after US proxy jihadists used nerve gas on other US proxy jihadists and civilians. Salute to Putin for that!!! However, on the other hand, my behind the curtain wildcard theory is that US threats to bomb Syria over these proxy gas attacks caused Assad to agree with Putin and GIVE UP THE GAS. Both US and Putin today have close ties with Israel which could be a target for these weapons, and if there is one thing that can have US and Russia acting as one behind the curtain, that is Israel. If so, then Salute to Obama as well on this!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY V. PUTIN!!

They ever do a Have Beer program ? -
Fastest Manned Flight ever....47 years ago
Lexx_Luthor replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
Any soul interested in this has to get s'>Hypersonic: The Story of the North American X-15 Pubbed by Specialty Press, and they have freaking amazing books on B-36 and B-70. Get em all, the detail is mind blowing, too much for my purposes for X-15, waaay deep in detail and history. B-36 and 70 are different, since they have a use over both Siberia and The StrikeFighters!!!!! -
How do you choose a title for a military campaign
Lexx_Luthor replied to MigBuster's topic in The Pub
Just name them after old classical combat warplanes, you can't go wrong. The Brits also have some good classical warplane names up at bat. From Strategic Air Command we have... Operation Peacemaker ... now do you see? Operation Thunderbolt .... I'm telling ya, the (classical) warplane namers had this all figured out last century. Operation Hustler ... !!! OP article:: There's the problem. If our operation can't stand its own ground, and we depend on a name for cover, a fraud with lipstick is a fraud. Just use names that are Aussum and be done. But that's for honest souls only I guess. I have a friend from US Army who tells in his days serving down in C. America he saw our own DEA agents smuggling drugs, so I know our ops down there, down everywhere, all banker Ops under makeup and cracked bondo. I had always the same mind as Churchill's here; using astronomical names for these things. Its a bit pagan, but that's the west. Only the Israelis like to name ops or equipment -- and warplanes, after ye Olde Testament texts. I don't think we have the balls to name our Ops from New Testament stuff. -
ooo thank GR, I gathered originally made for P-1? Looks like a pea wea k~80. Sweet.
-
Oh, yea... Gep:: Ask *anybody* who has cleaned pubic restrooms. MEN can NOT pea properly while standing. They can't do it. So-called "men"©® need to sit and pea properly like everybody else. Think of Teh Janitor hehe
-
Gep, population is a neat topic. Interesting that some self described "islamic" terrorists groups have used female suicide bombers, not often so far, but it has happened. During this hot HOT Ukraine summer I saw a vid of women in Nova Russia militia, snipers most likely, not sure, but I can't find it now.
