Perfesser

I found the LED's to be more reliable in varying light, like if you have a window in the room. Never need to adjust the sensitivity of the camera. I'm using a Freetrack setup with LED's mounted on the headset - flawless. I sort of duplicated a hat style orientation without the hat. Should be some pics here someplace in a "your IL2 rig" thread, not that it will help you any. Freetrack can also use a side mounted thing, I assume it's the same as a clip. As long as your sensitivity is high enough that you don't mask any LED's with your face it should work.

There is a new study about women and how they feel about their asses; the results were pretty interesting: 30% of women think their ass is too fat... 10% of women think their ass is too skinny... The remaining 60% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man and they wouldn't trade him for the world.

Any mention of system requirements? I for one will not even think of upgrading until I have a copy in my hand. Any takers on the release being delayed? I think Vegas is running 10:1 odds on the March 22nd release date.

The last few times I've done this I just bought another hard drive. Leave your "dirty" drive alone. Install the new drive as primary. Anything you have forgotten to do you can swap wires and have the old drive as primary to set up transfer programs (mail for instance). Eventually you get to the point where you feel comfortable reformatting the dirty drive as you've finished setting up the new drive.

Merry Christmas to you all. I haven't been flying much but I've been a forum troll. Hoping for some spare time next year ......

Damn that sucks BG. Keep your chin up as best you can. We're all pulling for you.

Isn't there a "no frame" mod for the map? This looks like a custom resolution problem. Still look the same when you change it?

Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data are recorded. Your search terms, the time of your visit, the links you choose, your IP address and your User ID cookies all get stored in a database. June 28, 2010 Search Engines Should Become Government Spies, Says EU Parliament I use startpage.com for searching. They don't log your IP with the search and you can even visit the results through a proxy server. They're leading the fight for consumer privacy.

I'm pretty sure that at this time it's use in the US would violate the search without probable cause thing. In Canada they already have this "RIDE" program. Random spotchecks to check for drunk drivers. Block off a likely on ramp and sniff everyone for booze. Simple enough to probe every orifice while you're waiting in line.

Why I Think We'll Win The War On Terrorism and the War on Freedom too. American Science & Engineering, a company based in Billerica, Massachusetts, has sold U.S. and foreign government agencies more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents. http://blogs.forbes.com/andygreenberg/2010/08/24/full-body-scan-technology-deployed-in-street-roving-vans/ I tried to start a new topic but kept getting that error even after logging in a few times. It seemed to fit here pretty well anyway. Watch the video on the page ... damn creepy.

I only see a couple as well.

Good job Erco!! It's getting a lot easier to find heirloom (non-hybrid) seeds. Use them if you can. I doubled my own this year too. I'm a lazy gardener, I look for stuff the bugs don't much bother. It's also the healthiest stuff, broccoli, collards and the like. Lots of herbs to liven up bland meals. This guy is saying that the US tried to crash an economy other than their own, or sort of to save their own. They've said for a long time the end game would begin when China bails out of US dollars - the US consumer is used up and has nothing more to offer them. Oil could be the key- oil is sold in US dollars, a war in the Middle East would increase oil uncertainty and create demand for the US dollar and prop things up. Watch for them to demonize Iran and push for a war there. "But that these days were shortened no flesh would survive" I think is the quote you wanted to post without of course scaring the poop out of everyone reading these things for the first time. It might be a good idea to search for "100 Items That Disappear First in a Disaster " and have a look down that list- see how you might fare.

Our dryer caught fire a few months back (another story) and it took an entire extinguisher to put it out. Dunno the exact size but about 8" dia by 2 ft tall ABC - lots of yellow powder. It was so old I was actually surprised it worked. I did check the pressure gauge fairly regularly but it had to be 15 years old.

Flight lessons for free. I hate you.

I guess I'm out of the loop these days, the Cirrus must have been certified with the BRS. The 172 is a surprise. Great idea either way, must have for anyone serious about safety. Bad s**t happens, don't let it happen to you.

Ballistic Recovery Chutes have been around for a long time, maybe 20 years. You can use them on experimental planes ie homebuilts. First time I've seen one in action. Pretty comforting knowing they'll work on a worst case (lost wing). If we could mod one for the P-39 I would be really happy.

This is the mod I need. http://www.fox43.com/news/nationworld/sns-viral-video-aircraft-loses-wing,0,1564214.htmlstory

I wasn't talking about you or me. I meant "those who shall remain nameless".

Sigh ... we need a round table. So many points I want to revisit. As for WMD, they implied nukes. We already knew they were gassing the Kurds. Anyway, the point I want to make is PREPARE for what is about to happen. Assume your dollars won't buy much in the future. Forget instant microwave meals, forget phoning for pizza. Learn to turn dried beans and flour into food and buy a little extra every time you shop to store. Learn to cook like your grandma. It's easy, cheap and tasty. Don't assume it's sometime way off in the future. Israel could lay an airstrike on Iran this week and things could go bad so fast MY head would spin.

Commercial rubbing alcohol is 70%. I have distilled it to 100% in the past.

NOW I'm pissed. JP said I play CFS 3. I want him banned IMMEDIATELY. Religion and politics are death sentences. They rely on belief and faith. Not something you can easily change by debate. They require a traumatic emotional event to change your mind. Attack someone's beliefs and it gets ugly very quickly. We're talking "the state of the world". We can see what's happening. Events will prove someone right or wrong. Bush says he has WMD, they invade, quietly find nothing = lying sack of ****. No debate. Obama says one thing to the public, signs a bill to the opposite= lying sack of ****. No debate. @ JP - speculative real estate may not be such a good thing now but you're in the oil patch .... location, location- entry level housing or rental is probably good - your call. Commercial real estate probably ain't a good idea anywhere. Anything in paper can fall so fast it will be gone before you get a chance to get out. I think the market has topped out anyway. There is one investment company that said in Aug of 2008 to get out of stocks into cash before the crash. They said the same thing this year April 30th. Kitco and Border Gold are reputable bullion dealers but get it delivered and hide it. Keep guys like BA and Trout (metal detectors) away. Shoot first(long guns are OK for this - large caliber recommended). Something to digest- http://dailyreckoning.com/china-enters-the-gold-market/ I think "for profit" should not be in charge of services for the people unless you can trust the intentions of those in charge. Trash collection, medical care, policing, electricity supply and nuclear energy etc. need public oversight otherwise you get rising cost and lower service. Since we have had for profit garbage collection my garage stinks and the varmits are on the rise everywhere. I don't know enough about government to even tell you what a Communist is. Or a Republican, or a Liberal, or a New Democrat, or a Partie Quebecois. I think I know what's right and what's wrong.

I saw you were slacking there JP so I jumped in to cover your 6. I think things are getting close to crunch time. I took a couple of weeks pay out of the bank in case of a "holiday". We are not immune to their virus.

Parallel wiring does make it a hell of a lot easier to track down just what has ceased to function for folks without diagnostic skills.

You know more about it than I do Mayhem. So what happened here, did it fry an LED? I think when I did mine I saw the LED calculator for my 1.6v LED's used a resistor for each one and were wired in parallel. When I changed the setting for 1.5v it used a single resistor and the 3 LED's in series. I used that setup assuming I would have less chance of burning up an LED. Was that correct? The ones I used are quite bright- 100mW/sr Rated 1.6v @ 50mA Hell, if you're having that much trouble I could go see if the store still has em and mail em to you. I think they were around $1 each. I couldn't get a single resistor, they came in cards of 10 so I have a few left over.

Fair enough. I don't care what we call them as long as we call them DONE and GONE.
