Dave = JKU ? ?? madness. ... the girls must love that. I just got a really clean YJ. No time to mess with it yet, moving. New landlord says... "You need to get round headlight covers if you want to park that thing here." grrrrh

Not related (um I think) but the city had a massive leak last month. Major Water Leak in Berlin ~> http://www.unionleader.com/article/20150215/NEWS07/150219374

nah, alot of simple tricks and nonsense. He had a good blaster at his side here. ... blasting or flying, good skills.

ssshhh not give TK any ideas here. Freaking ~loved~ them snakes and how they look around though. Massive props compressor blades for that.

Water taps yanked from new Bunde spy agency building. Lots of water damage. Totally "gets it" with title ~> http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150305/1019099118.html BBC somewhat also, but *lots* more info ~> http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31746602

The night shots are very sweet thanks again MB.

Needs lots of gas stations too. Could have found better alternatives, maybe. I just got a YJ, and apartment mgmt says I have to get round headlight covers to park there. like what? Anyways, I hadn't thought of modding up some drop tanks until now. Thanks!!

My fave in the series. Very inspiring to at least some young to see such honesty -- Spock-- in a dishonest world. All of them were fantastic. Although my fave trekisode was Tholian Web where, for the only time I've read, the crew had to work the problem without Kirk anywhere around. They should have done more of those.

no pics. Is it lenticularlar saucer shaped by any chance?

That's why you never store a backup plugged into your computer. I always say, keep MULTIPLE independent backups stored away from computer. I use old hard drives, slowly cycling through them, bringing each closer to up to date If used only for cold storage, they last forever. You do know of course, that if you have only one backup, and your main drive goes down, you don't have any *backup* anymore. Think about it. That's what happened to you dragon. ie... one backup is no backup, unless you are very lucky. Like me last year. I got a bit sloppy and made only one backup of my super map. My main drive went down and I had forgotten I made the backup. Went for months thinking I lost it. I found it. I got lucky, this time. I immediately made extra backups on top of backups when I stumbled across my map I thought I lost.

Keep all your old stuph. No need to zip it. Old hard drives, even 10 years old, are so giga big. Just another idea. Baltika has a http://combatace.com/files/file/10530-kamchatka-peninsula-v-10/'>Kamchatka map. Think about a campaign North Kamchatka vs South Kamchatka. Kamchatka War. Maybe 1960.

Yough interesting vid thanks Dough! I liked the apparent "gentleness" of the high altitude tracking and closing on targets. Like slow motion. I need to play more strikemfighters again.

Yea that was the Mystery Airstrikes from last year. ~> http://combatace.com/topic/61055-nightwatch/?do=findComment&comment=672852

Best thing I ever found was a USAF advertisement for B-47 pilots....about 1955 I think. 5000$ a year salary ... and that's on top of the three headed monster training where all crew members had to train for all duties on that plane. McGill's new book goes into that ...the training, didn't write about the pay. mmm

ugh . Pulling out survivors. Taxi got clipped, smashed, but occupant/s okay there...so far.

LONG Long long read and very good thanks as usual MB. I liked his no generals comment. hehe ... ie ... replace all the pilots with drones, the generals will still be there.

It was Russian software wasn't it? But, I put the blame on the cowardly game companies that used the thing. Worse, didn't the starforce help forum had a serial moderator that asked souls to pirate StarDock games, because StarDock was getting good press for not using DRM software like starforce? Man, the old days of The IL~2 and The FB.

Update on the Wagah crossing bombing. ~> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Wagah_border_suicide_attack They gunned down some suspects in Jan. Apparently the bomber had explosives to do a lot more carnage, but was forced to blow from far back because of security distance. I assume that distance has been increased.

TK didn't keep developing his SF original idea, instead tried to go "normal." Oleg made the same error. You've seen some of my weirdo visual mods. Low quality but best I could do with our particle system. Imagine those ideas done by the pros, in a game engine made for atmospheric warfare over longer ranges. It takes alot of WORK to have fun at flight simming. You have to give alot of visual feedback to reward that work. Its never happened in flight sims. Just talking about visual stuff. I had alot of immersive fun just navigating around in some sims, but I was already motivated by aviation and willing to put in the work. There's not that many of us maybe. Worse, games are cheap now. I got teh Su-27 FLAKER 1.0 for DOS in 1995 for 50$ ... with currency devaluation (ask Typhoid) that would be about (guess) 120$ now. Granted wages were stronger then, relative to the devaluation, but not exactly. If TK could get 120$ for a family size box of full grain SF.

From the too weird to make up department:: x'>For the night of 26 January 2015 Lexx's comment: I don't know any thing more than this, and I'd like to hold off judgment on a thing like this, until all the facts are in, butt.... Before or after ISIL beheaded 30 civilians? Also interesting on this nightwatch, Pakistan went almost totally dark, like NK maybe, with just one militant attack on one or two electricity towers.

Gunnies, its the wanna be fighters nato Turkey is smuggling into Syria to train with teh ISIS and AQ. Fantastic analogy thanks much for this.

Thumps!!! Nice thank you again the MB.

haha sweet story. Old hard drives that are never used except for backups will last forever. My RE4 that failed was rather new, but always running. I still have a 125MB WD from 1993 that I have some old DOS stuff backed up to. Okay, you have two hard drives, both t > 8yr. ... A couple of cheap thumb drives can offer additional safety at low cost. Best try to get some newer small capacity hard drives to add two your 2 current drives. I also have a few thumb drives I don't trust, but they are there. Safetey in numbers.

Its NOT funny. Something like this actually happened and blew my mind when I read about it. USN sailed a carrier task force through an RN carrier force during the Suez War.

Oh, forgot, the point....back up your work. I use old internal hard drives, many, many of them, plug them in, backup and plug them out and store them safely, and also, just in addition for kicks, to a few flash drives or DVDs, which are the new floppies.
