  1. 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.
  2. woa, 50 years. Have Ban
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!!@!
  7. Just got the Bedford Incident DVD, fantastic movie. Richard Widmark ASROCKS!!!
  8. 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
  9. 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: !!!
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Ah yes, Have Chat and Have Bat.
  13. 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.
  14. 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!!!
  15. 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!!
  16. They ever do a Have Beer program ?
  17. 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!!!!!
  18. 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.
  19. ooo thank GR, I gathered originally made for P-1? Looks like a pea wea k~80. Sweet.
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. pffft It may be a good thing PVO never fielded either of the two (Su vs MiG) competing K-9 air-air missiles. Gr, any pics of K-9-51 for T-37? I've never seen it.
  23. I'd guess the video is made to showcase recent hollywood cgi movies. Of what I've seen, Battle of Britain may be the best, as it did use the real airplanes, and it went deep with some air battle concepts like sun blindness, confusion, etc... For the futuristic stuff, with physics for small craft, the Babylon~5 series beats all. B5 is way too deep, and phony videos don't like it deep. lol However, from what little I watched of the new post~modern BattleStar Galactica series, this had the most realistic *visual* portrayal of small spacecraft combat, although still far from what would be reality -- you can't see what's going on cos everything is too fast or way waaaay too far away.
  24. advise them into submission. man/manette, this was good thanks. The problem with advisors, you always have to send MOAR ADVISORS
  25. I'm in a rut, but it doesn't feel like it. Low pay but absolutely love what I do now. Its great to love the new job, you still have the mental and phys energy and moral energy (huh?) to do other things after work without worrying and thinking-hating about how the work day went today, and how it goes the next day. edit ...moral momentum hahaha!!!
