  1. The best thing that ever happened to me was tunnel time. I spent about 180 bucks I think, spent ten minutes in the wind tunnel perfecting my body position. I have had no problems on any of my jumps. Don't know if you have a tunnel nearby. The problem with trying to learn in free fall is that you only have 40 seconds of training for each jump which doesn't give you time to experiment with different foot positions and different arm positions. At first I was flying all over the place, smashing my face on the wall, spinning, etc. After 7 or 8 minutes I had it down and could control my movement, turning, etc. It really lets you know what muscles you use in free fall too, because my back hurt like a bitch for about a week afterwards. I highly recommend. Good luck!
  2. And what are you supposed to do with the body while the thing is being shipped? "Weekend at bernies"? I want my ashes dumped from an otter at 13.5k
  3. ok everybody, gather round. It's neocon circle jerk time!

    Game.

    I am using a touch pad and no mouse and I got 57 after several tries. I am going out on top, retiring from "the biz"
  5. In the control panel on A, go to user accounts. Make sure that the user account called "guest" is enabled. You can enable/disable it by double clicking the username. On the PC where you are sharing files (A I think), go to the share where the files are. Right click the folder. Click properties Click Security Tab Add a new user "guest" to the box. Make sure "guest" has "full control" if you want to be able to delete files remotely, or if you just need read access then just check the "list files and folders box" and the "read" box. Click OK. Click "Apply". Click ok. Click ok. The user that is trying to access the files is your local user account. If that fails (which it will, cause the other pc has no idea who you are) then the computer will use a built in guest account called "guest". If guest is disabled or if guest has no read rights to the share then you will get that error message. All windows XP pcs have the guest account, so if you enable guest and add it to the file share, then you will be able to log onto the file sharing pc from a different pc. Let me know if you need more help. P.S. the same is true for the printers. Right click, properties, security, add the guest user, give it full control, click ok, click ok. etc. ~ Network Geek ~ The screen shots are Vista Supreme/SuperDuper but they look pretty much the same in XP.
  6. You are pathetic. Republicans are the ones who are soft on rape. Al Franken (democrat) sought to pass a bill that would “deny defense contracts to companies that ask employees to sign away the right to sue”. The only people who voted against this bill were 30 Republicans: Alexander (R-TN) Barrasso (R-WY) Bond (R-MO) Brownback (R-KS) Bunning (R-KY) Burr (R-NC) Chambliss (R-GA) Coburn (R-OK) Cochran (R-MS) Corker (R-TN) Cornyn (R-TX) Crapo (R-ID) DeMint (R-SC) Ensign (R-NV) Enzi (R-WY) Graham (R-SC) Gregg (R-NH) Inhofe (R-OK) Isakson (R-GA) Johanns (R-NE) Kyl (R-AZ) McCain (R-AZ) McConnell (R-KY) Risch (R-ID) Roberts (R-KS) Sessions (R-AL) Shelby (R-AL) Thune (R-SD) Vitter (R-LA) Wicker (R-MS) This isn't a Democrat/Republicant issue, it's a big city issue.
  7. I have had 18yo kids show up at the door smoking cigarettes and asking for beer. As I stand there drinking a corona I say "I'm out" and close the door. For the little ones I pass out candy. I also buy my son a big bag of candy and then take the candy we collect trick or treating and throw it away and switch it for the candy we bought. My overly paranoid parental instinct....
  8. You are correct. they do look like feathers. Next question?
  9. It's the thread that won't die!! The only time I have ever seen the armor on a tank penetrated deeply enough to expose the DU core was when one tank crashed into another tank (in the dark, in the middle of the night). The SOP is to cover the exposed DU core with a wet towel (seriously) and wait for the replacement part to arrive. Yes there is a health hazard associated with DU, but the benefits of superior killing power and superior armor far outweigh the potential effects of DU exposure. I worked with DU on a daily basis for four years in the military. BTW, my children came out perfect in every way, except that my son Jonathan glows a little at night and can start fires with his mind. See pic Nobody on the modern battlefield has the ability to penetrate Depleted Uranium armor (not even with DU tank rounds), so we don't have any really good case studies as far as the health effects of DU armor being penetrated, or DU rounds causing health issues. There is some anecdotal evidence from Gulf War I but they havent been conclusively linked.
  10. Lucky, you are all wrong. Osama eats kittens and small children. He is what is wrong with this country! His liberal policies are gonna put us all in the poorhouse! He is just another tax-and-spend liberal! .... and he is [gasp] black!
  11. When the round hits the enemy armor it is traveling close to 1 mile/second. It immediately fragments the enemy armor, sending millions of pieces of the enemy armor flying around the inside of the enemy vehicle, instantly turning the enemy troops into hamburger. When the Kinetic Energy Penetrator punches a hole through the armor, most times it explodes because it is superheated from its flight at supersonic speed. When it reaches the inside of the enemy vehicle, it breaks into many more pieces shredding the bad guys even more, and poisoning them with DU just to be sure they are dead. There are some cases where the DU penetrator doesnt get destroyed as in one case during the gulf war when two T-72 tanks were destroyed with a single Sabot round because one was behind the other, and the round punched through one tank and still had enough punch to take out the vehicle behind it. That earned it it's nickname "the silver bullet" by tank crews, because this is the most lethal anti-armor round on any vehicle in the world. It doesn't matter what kind of armor your vehicle has, the silver bullet will take away all your hopes and dreams. My staff sergeant in Korea was in Gulf War I and was hit by an enemy T-72 tank (the flagship of the Russian army). He said he got out and went to look at the damage. The enemy sabot was sticking out of the front of the hull, and had only penetrated two inches. He pried it out with a pry bar, filled the hole with mud and continued mission. Why you might ask? Because the Armor on the M1A1 has a depleted Uranium plate underneath the steel, which makes it practically impossible to destroy. In addition, tanks routinely run over antitank mines and survive (sans roadwheels) because of depleted uranium armor plating underneath the vehicle. So, depleted uranium is here to stay. Get used to it. Just because you have some concerns about it doesn't make it any less effective at killing the enemy or protecting the troops. I attached some porn for ya...
  12. I wrote some software that backs up files from one location on a disk to another location on a disk. You guys are welcome to use it. I didn't know where to post this but I suspect that you guys are the most likely to have computers and probably large amounts of data (Photography and video) that you back up to network locations/external drives on a regular basis. I wrote this because I cant find any other software that does what my program does. When you use windows explorer to copy and paste a folder, if you encounter an error the whole copy operation is aborted. If you use windows explorer to add/change files in your source directory then you have to copy the entire folder to the backup drive again. With my software only the files you added/changed get copied so it is very fast to backup an entire drive. The software is small (small enough to send through email) and you are welcome to use it. It should run in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2003 Server as long as you have Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 installed (part of the windows updates for the last few years) I attached a screen shot of the software doing its thing. Let me know if you are interested: mailto:virtualcontext@yahoo.com
  13. troll [edit] DU is only used in tank rounds which aren't fired much in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the enemy has no heavy armor to destroy, we don't have a lot to shoot at with DU sabot rounds. Sabot rounds are basically a very hard steel dart meant to penetrate up to 19 inches of hardened steel and explode inside the enemy vehicle showering the bad guys with highly radioactive, superheated shards of Depleted Uranium and pieces of the enemy's own armor shredding them even further. But, if you aren't trying to penetrate thick armor then the sabot round is practically useless because it is a very small diameter penetrator (about the size of a thick carrot or Ron Jeremy). 99.99% of all ammo expended in these conflicts are regular old full metal jacket 5.56 (M-16/M4) or .50 cal (M2 Heavy machine gun). If tank rounds are used, they are most likely HEAT (High Explosive AntiTank) rounds, which have a high explosive shape charge and no DU. Heat rounds are much better for destroying lightly armored vehicles, buildings, groups of innocent civilians, or whatever else you feel like destroying because they explode on impact and cause much greater damage on soft targets. Here are two articles explaining the difference for those of you that have never served our country in any capacity besides armchair quarterback (like cliff) M829 ARMOR PIERCING FIN-STABILIZED DISCARDING SABOT for M1A1/A2 Tanks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M829_%28munition%29 High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT) Round http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_explosive_anti-tank_warhead But it doesn't matter anyway, you will just find another reason that American soldiers should be prosecuted. Go crawl back in your hole, cliff.
  14. Yep, nothing like breath that smells like hissing cockroaches, or dead fish, or whatever he had to eat this week.
  15. No and it's silly that you would even ask. Who are you, the vagina nazi? My mom smoked cigarettes and pot and drank when she was pregnant with me and I turned out fine (high IQ, high income, never sick, strong bones, etc).. Its crap like this that makes me want to move out of the states. People wanting to file charges against people for every conceivable bullshit excuse. It makes me sick.
  16. WHAT??!!?? NO ORAL? what about swinging?
  17. have a look. this is what psychosis looks like.
  18. Damn! Tell em how you really feel!
