Just heard at an employee meeting last week that Magna has worldwide jobs posted on their website. An option if anyone is looking these days. Search by location or title. No doubt most are in emerging markets but here they are anyway. The auto industry might seem like a dead end but as smaller suppliers go under we keep picking up more business. http://www.magna.com/xchg/magna_com_careers/XSL/standard.xsl/-/content/16_804.htm?appInit=true

Nice BG. Not all ponds turn out well around there, water table can do funny things. Some people will find this funny but around there clay is a rare and valuable commodity. We have a couple of much smaller ponds at our place, the first was dug by hand(my father was a little crazy about his trout like that). One year we must have gotten an invasive weed during the stocking process and it's been a battle. I did find a natural control. Sterile grass carp, haven't been able to find a place to get some though.

Blue dot???

For testing use unlimited, voice activated. Some keys "pulse" like letter keys, frequency set in Windows setup. I wouldn't use one of those as PTT. I use a function key myself but any of the ins Del Home End Page Up/Down would be a good choice

Of course in TS you already set the bandwidth to unlimited? Settings, options, bandwidth.

I would be happy if he was less Soviet biased. Already I don't like the I-185 in the game. 4 produced, canceled due to politics even though it had performance equal to planes of 2 years later. Or at least availability representative of production. Only 2 at the start of the map and if you don't bring it back.......

His airshow stuff is legendary, never seen it myself. I'm trying to work out just how you do that while keeping the horizon steady off the nose. Must be all aileron/rudder but how do you keep the nose up without going neg G? Must have a lesson......

I can only guess a corrupted OS, I would try to repair it with the disk. That should tell you if it was software or it's still a HD problem. What was the micro stutter from? We were talking about that.

Whatever has the most power, I'm sure the vacuum is the most powerful tool most have available. I give mine a vacuum, then I get in there with a few spurts of the canned air right into the PSU and the CPU fins too. The vacuum could produce a lot of static so take care. I wrap a foot of bare wire around the hose with an alligator clip to the chassis. We used to suck up dry sand with a 6" hose and if the hose wasn't grounded you would get a 3" spark off your elbow in seconds.

Before the addition of the last set of solar panels, for the first time in history, the brightest object in the sky was a man made one. Should be easy to see even in cities now. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/ Plug in your city and see when you can view it.

Top This One For A Speeding Ticket ... Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar. One of the officers was using a handheld radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill. The officers were, suddenly, surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset ... so, he turned off. Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had, in fact, locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet, which was engaged in a low-flying exercise near the location. Back at the CHP Headquarters, the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back ... in true USMC style: Thank you, for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and, automatically, sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down. Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also, automatically, locked on to your equipment location. Fortunately, the Marine pilot, flying the Hornet, recognized the situation for what it was and, quickly, responded to the missile system alert status, and was able to override the automated defense system, before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position. The pilot, also, suggests you cover your mouths, when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high- tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar -- it appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster. Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi

I set up everything through the game interface withe the exception of 1 "push to talk" key. If I don't load the profile my PTT key doesn't work. I used the left thumb button in the center of the trim wheel below button "D". Called the clutch button. Lucky you though, new software was just released with graphic interface. There's a thread somewhere here......got it http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php/topic,7128.0.html

After reading "Chickenhawk" I had a great understanding of helicopter flight. I would recommend it to anyone remotely interested in choppers. http://www.robertcmason.com/Books/chpage.html "About Face" - this is a leader of men. http://www.hackworth.com/usbookorders.html A Rumor of War - disturbing but it certainly left an impression. http://litsum.com/rumor-of-war/ Basic flight? Stick and Rudder simply CAN'T be beat. http://books.google.ca/books?id=CPdDju21zt0C&dq=Stick+and+Rudder&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=0cBEOaFwfZ&sig=sor_Lxx9Mh40sFr7V3Dsri-9IfQ&hl=en&ei=y3DuSYrrIprMMeqb-OoP&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1

LOL Love it. Dated a girl like that in school, never should have let that one get a way. I think of her every time I hear Kim Mitchels "Diamonds" She takes more whiskey than I wine.

Welcome Sweper, If you want some great background on flight there is a great book. Stick and Rudder by Wolfgang Langewiesche http://books.google.ca/books?id=CPdDju21zt0C&dq=stick+and+rudder+by+wolfgang+langewiesche&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=0cBEO8CAjZ&sig=SayzlJZo9OE52cqNC5yko8EHeoQ&hl=en&ei=qxjuSb-IFcTD-AagzIHGDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2#PPP1,M1 You can read a bit of it there, I'm sure you can find it in your native language if you look around. Feel free to ask anyone for help in anything. As for overheating .... the engines need air to cool. Lots of throttle needs lots of air for cooling, either rad wide open or lots of speed. If you're going fast you may not need much rad open to keep the engine cool. If you're going slow (climbing) at full throttle you need rad wide open and at full throttle even that may not be enough in a hot or humid climate. Don't climb so steeply and you'll go faster = more air = more cooling.

I think I heard that 30% of the weight and size of a modern fighter is for the pilot. Avionics, survivability, redundancy(to get him home) ejection seats and all that. So without the pilot you're looking at an extra 30% ordinance. For decades planes have been limited by the pilot's limits of G force and endurance. How about a 20G fighter? Or more? Unlimited endurance. The Mk1 eyeball is obsolete anyway, radar, long range TV, FLIR are far better. You could have many sensors on the craft and a guy on the ground for each one of them, the equal of 10 pairs of eyes in each craft, watching every angle at once. The implications of the next part may be disturbing for some who have never thought about it ...... and is probably the biggest factor in the drive to develop this. The American public has only ever complained about 1 thing in regards to wars fought. Not billions in cost, not enemy casualties, not civilian deaths, not countries laid to waste. Only 1 thing.......... Americans in body bags. Keep the public sedated with American Idol, McDonalds and cheap drugs and we'll do what we want. As long as they have their SUV's and cheap gas they won't even care. Like the old Bush-Cheney joke: "The Iraq war will kill 3 million Iraqi's and a blonde with big boobs." "why the blonde?" "see....... I told you they wouldn't care about the 3 million Iraqi's". Ike was right about the M-I Complex

10 hours? I think any air cooled engine would seize the first time you reduced throttle from max.

FYI I still have on board sound and a rats nest of splitter connectors in back of mine for my 5.1 speakers, 5.1 headphones, line out to amp, line out to wireless remote speakers. The line out jack probably goes to 4 different functions via 3 splitters. And the headphone jack on your speakers probably has no place to plug in the mic.

One of the P5Q motherboards below that one will take an Nvidia card. That one says crossfire and I think that would be ATI(only?). If you can afford an upgrade on the CPU I would try to. That one is only 800 FSB. E7400 Dual Core Processor LGA775 2.8GHZ 1066FSB would be better but it's another $100 This would be my choice: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core Processor LGA775 3.0GHZ Wolfdale 1333FSB 6MB

IL2 doesn't need a super hot vid card as much as it needs a balance of CPU speed and decent graphics. I'm an old AMD fan but it's pretty hard to beat Intel's socket 775 bang for buck these days. Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor

Sort of off topic but hell I'm so proud of my Canadian Honour Guards brothers(and sisters) that I had to post it. You can read the rest of this at the link above but this part I had to post
