  1. I saw teh zombie mode at a friends house as he indulged online. Kinda reminded me of us flying (screaming) in a SEOW when things are not going well. I noticed that the BAR was the most effective weapon, and that aiming wiht short bursts (as I recommended) seemed to work better than spraying and praying. I really wanted to see the regular combat though. They were too into the zombie stuff. I thought it rather funny. Nailing the boards back over the windows was kinda "outer limits". They just kept coming.
  2. I didn't know all that was out there. The utube one first mentioned works quite well though. I was able to dnload the required videos about polygraphs being total science fiction and fantasy, right out of the dark ages. I always knew that since I worked for the cops yrs ago, but now I got the vids. Pretty hilarious that a college level course would teach that.
  3. Yeah, I saw htat on CNN to, and I noticed that Simon guy actually got serious for once, though I haven't watched it in a couple of yrs. Any recording co that doesn't try to get her is nuts. People usually listen to music anyway, rather than look at it. So she's not up to music videos, big deal. I'll still listen to her.
  4. Thanx comrade. At least that may be a start. I can hear it now......"Stop Dave......row row row your boat....."
  5. Yeah, I know realplsyer is supposed to, and it worked fine for yrs on my old cmputer, but now the free version (10.5) apparenlty has that deleted and only plays stuff. Ive got scores of stuff from utube etc that i recorded with it easily, as a window would pop up asking if i wanted to, or I could just put the web addy in it and clikc record. well it doesnt do thta any more on my new computer or my old one since it crashed. Ive spent several hrs today trying to find any reference to said capability (like a record command), but there just isnt one anymore. I was somewhat surprised. I tried ver 10.5. http://www.oldapps.com/real.php I have dnloaded a couple of others that are free, but the help files are the usual useless nonsense in Klingon and assume you already know how it works. This is one that looked very promising and appeared simple enought to actually work.......good luck with that. http://camstudio.org/ When i searched teh "help" files for "recording videos", it just gave me a list of videos with NO Fracking mention of how to do it. Yeah, the little buttons are simple etc, but they are deceptive. Buttons dont work, or a htey wont save, etc. I need this for my tech school class as there are links to utube vids that make up the course and I don't always have time to just keep them on screen.
  6. yeah, drones are taking on alot more of the dangerous (and non-PC) attack misns, and have a larger role in future airpower. One must keep in mind that they have thier limits, and wont be able to completely replace manned AC completely. Drones will, in my opinion, be used as a compliment, and as a weapon used from manned AC. I know that F-14s were due for replacment, but I still maintain it was way too premature, especially considering the capability of hte recently modified Bs and the new Ds, which had alot of time left on them. They were retired before their replacement (whatever it is) was available. and I meant its use in 2003, not 93. It was also pretty stupid to scrap nearly all the Bs and Ds simply to keep Iran fromgetting any of thier parts. that was pretty stupid and speaks for itself.
  7. that was a highly modified machine with a PW 3300, I think. Had clipped wings and a streamlined canopy. I really wish they would not race these machines or modify them anymore. Like modifying a Jag XKE for nascar racing.
  8. Heh heh. I'm so glad I could so richly influence the lives of my comrades.
  9. Snacko was right. I got an email from my teacher asking if I had put it afer the 29. I had written it down wrongly....god I hate being a born in the 50s sometimes. Thanks for the responses. About it being some kinda test, am I paranoid or what?
  10. OK, i know this is goofy, and probably the strangest offtopic question ever asked here. but my tech school assignment requires we log into their site using a username that includes the number 29 UNDERLINED, that allows us in to make our own names/pw. I know in word that you can just push a button to underline stuff, but this is a web site. Ive tried to many hrs now using every
  11. Yeah, the F and E models are vastly improved over the C and D, but it still doesn't have alot of the capabilities of the B and D model Tomcats that had new radar and systems installed along with thier new engines (40% thrust increase and amazing new radar). The 14 still has the longest range radar in any of our fighters, and it's far more reliable and cost effective with the new stuff than the old A models. They also can do considerable ground attack missions as they did in 93, though it is still primarily a fighter. The only reason the navy gave for its retirement was purely costs, and those were decreased by the new equipment. It certainly was gonna need replacing soon, but the Super Hornets are not it. They will have to do for the next 20 yrs though, and are certainly capable machines that are very competitive in air to air. Gonna be a while before the Super Hornets can reliably kill you at 100+ miles. The Ds especially had a huge amount of time left on them before they would need major airframe work. The Bs already had it done. The Super hornets are great fighter and attack AC, but they still lack much of what the F-14 oculd do in its laters versions. I kinda doubt the long range version of the Aim-120 will make it into production, but I could be wrong. I hope I am. IIN any event, we are gonna be a bit more hardpressed when taking on well flown planes like SU-30s amd Mig-35s with vectored thrust, much less European and Chinese machines (like J-10) that are loaded with new tech and capability. I was a freshman and sophore in high school when the F16,15, F-14A, flew (72-74) and the F-18 was just a concept plane known as the P-530. I am 52 yrs old now. I know these planes are upgraded and far superior to what the first ones were (though the 15 and 16 really haven't changed that much), but to have only one 5th generation "light" fighter in production
  12. Well it was, but it's still pretty stupid to take the 117s out of service before the replacement is online. The AF said that the F-22s could do its job until then.
  13. I humbly accept the position of morale officer, and will strive to keep a good supply of smutty pix on here that I have taken myself.
  14. Yeah, I hate the damn censorship to, but....... And no, there is no mrs.....thankfully, which is why I get to do this kinda stuff. Last I heard, we had a civil war that resulted in the abolition of slavery. However, most chicks never heard of that. She finally got rid of the silly ass BF that had really screwed up priorities and dumped her because she actually associated with other guys (like her photographer...I feel so guilty). Not bad for 35, huh? No kiddies either....rare.
  15. Ditto man. Helter Skelter!!
  16. Well I wasnt flying last sat night, but I thought you guys would understand if you saw this. I assume most of you at one time or another saw the shot I took in my studio of the rather HOT chick holding the model of the Spit mkV in a strategic place some time ago. Well, she showed up and wanted me to print some of those and make her some more........... This was a ....um, 'test' shot btw (appropriately censored). I just wanted you guys who were there with the col to understand ..........that you were the last damn thing on my mind, and besides, a pro photog always responds when he is called. Im sure most of you can forgive my being AWOL. And I actually get paid to do this.....sometimes. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.
  17. Yeah, those things kick everybody's ass they go up against. And yes, you can count on it (and all other modern combat AC) being hardened against EMP. As good as it is, it was still stupid to take the F-117 out of service assuming the F-22 is gonna be able to do its job of selective ground attack on dangerous targets. While it no doubt can, the small numbers we are gonna have (less than 200 probably) mean they probalby will be busy doing air to air stuff. I keep hoping Ill see one since I live 60 miles from Lockheed. A freind of mine does planning on the assembly line and is still amazed at teh stuff he keeps seeing on this machine.
  18. Wow, thanx guys. That Mplayer is incredible. I just watched the first part of "The Hunters" on it and its amazingly clear and loud. Nearly blew my brains out with my headset when I started the player. Man that was loud. Screw media player, this thing is much better as far as Im concerned. Looked great when the movie started with that neat theme music and the F-86Fs on the ramp heating up. I am gonna get a couple more just to have backups. I really appreciate the help. I still can't figure why my paid version of Nero 6 wont play anything on any computer. It worked great on both for a couple of yrs, as did media player. I hope it still burns CDs. Still loading all sorts of stuff on both of those things. My room lo0ks like the bridge of the starship Enterprise. Here's your reward. Sorry I can't post the "good" ones here. And yes, I took the photo in my humble studio. I'm quite good at such....no brag, just fact, as Will Sonnet used to say.
  19. That is very politically incorrect. Dont you know that history must be re-written to placate all the guys that wear pink undies? An interesting mod to. Be good for movie makers I would think.
  20. Ok, dumb question, but Ive got a new cmputer quaz got going after a long war with the gremlins that plague me with technically impossible shit, and he also got my old one going agian after a mod dnload site (since abandoned) poisoned it. (no affiliation with AAA btw). Now windows media player wants all sorts of secret codes that apparently Ive gotta exchange my left testicle for (dont' get to use it, but it's a good souvenir), and my paid version of Nero no longer wants to function despite my paying for it a few yrs ago......just looks at me when I try to use it. Yeah, I got the number for it, but it doesn't matter. Ive found all sorts of "free" dvd players online, but I am a bit weary of going to these places after havng two computers get clobbered after no problems for four yrs. Anyway, I can't even get any movies to play etc (I have to watch "the Hunters" at least once a month). Said advice would be appreciated. BTW, I can get back to work finishing my post war cmpn now.
  21. Heh heh DT, you woulda loved living in the Atlanta area, like I did when I worked at Lockheed in the 80s. This has been proclaimed since the fifties, but the one thing limiting it is the skill level needed. You still gotta be a pilot, regardless of what they had in the Back to the Future movies. Pretty neat toy though. Impressive tech.
  22. yeah, its the dnload site selection he first used, as its not the creator of hte mod P80 substitute that everyone else loves. Yes, the restore thing didint work, several times. Even reformating and using the recovery disks i made was defective, as the thing is now completely dark screen with only
  23. As Quazi can tell you, i have MISERABLE luck in the computer world. I had a virussomehow get on my computer and totally anhilate it. Even reformatting and using the recovery disks diid not work, as when I restarted it when instructed (3 times), all i got was a blank screen. I believe this virus and trojan (according to AVG before
  24. As long as they dont cut the spars or let it rust to death, it can always be restored again....if it's properly housed inside. I wish I could have seen it, but I know from experience that it's tuff to keep such large planes in service at museums. I was part of a small museum once that flew the only C-119 in the airshow circuit-used money for gas.
  25. The vapor trails are cool. Very realistic stuff.
