You may want to read this, then... Popular Mechanics: Debunking the 9/11 Myths Also, there's test video out on the net of an F-4 Phantom being driven into a reinforced concrete wall at over 300kts. It was a test done to see what would happen if a plane crashed into the containment vessel of a nuclear reactor. The plane disintegrated. Any part that hit the concrete was pretty much vaporized. The concrete walls at the Pentagon are also heavily reinforced, and the windows are blastproof as well. This wasn't like a plane crash, where the pilot trys to hit as slow as possible and wreckage gets strewn all over creation. The plane that hit the Pentagon was going full cruise. Fast aluminium vs concrete....hmmm. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

They're not common now, but they were several years ago. My late 90's Talon had them, but I had them converted to hard-housings on both the rig, and the risers. In fact, off the top of my head, I can't think of a single US manufacturer that still uses them. Are there any? I'd be surprised if there were.

Get the photo, I wish I had....if I'd waited one more month, I could have gotten the 30GB photo for the same price I paid for my regular 20GB...sigh. If you can find the HP version, get it instead as it has the 1 year full warranty. The Apple model is just 90 days. It's the exact same thing, one just has a different logo on the back.

Good answer, and one I agree with! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Dave, I am soooo bringing you some goodies when I hit AOT this year. You'll be finding OU paraphenelia for MONTHS! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA! Best. Thread. Response. EVER! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I would have, but the rash he had looked infected. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

What?! I was genuinely shocked! You know what a bastion of purity and innocence I am!!! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Why, yes, I do happen to love the pussies. And, if you dye him purple, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to "borrow" your cat and hold it for ransom. Seriously though, that cat in your pic is a true F1 Bengal, I'm looking for more of an F3 or F4 that'll come in around 10-15 pounds and be a little less of a handful. *withholding remark about petting your....* Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I still remember Nikki's failed attempt to jump on the couch. Poor thing. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Whoa! Keely is playing for the other team now? Poor Rich....heh. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Yup, I've met your pups...Dakota is quite the SpazzMaster. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Funny... I've already got one of those, thanks. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Good catch, Piriya. I misread the first part...but I'd love to hear about Brian's progression as well.

Some of us were just feeling too gentlemanly to comment on it. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

*making sure none of the guys are looking at this post* Okay, the coast is clear. Hi, my name is Kris and I like cats. *Hello, Kris!* Right now, I had an older Himalayan, but Kashmir is now with sister as she adores her and she wasn't being at all sociable with my rommate's cats. I've tried everything to get them to get along, and they like her, she can't stand them, so she's off at her new home with my sister So, I'm looking for a new cat, and I really want a Bengal (domestic cats that are bred from Asian Snow Leopards). However, before I shell out several hundred for a cat, are there any other breeds that are like them in temperment? In short, Bengals are known to love the water, to play fetch, like to take walks on a leash, and are very outgoing. If I can find that in another breed, I can live without the Bengal look, and I would prefer to save something from a shelter or pound. I don't want a cat that's extremely independant, skittish, or anti-social. Any ideas? Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Damn....even I wasn't going to go that low. I almost felt bad while watching that game progress. Almost. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Here's everything you ever wanted to know about the subject, by Brian himself. It's a great book, I've read it 4-5 times now.

I know someone who has a cat named "Stir-Fry". Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Such a good girl....sigh. Hey, I see you're at Z-Hills...give Orin some grief for me the next time you're out there. He took me up on a really fun 11-way the last time I was out there.

It's best for me. I personally like it because I can load it up with 1GB of SD flash media, it runs Windows Mobile so I can use IE and Messenger, I can use it as an MP3 player, and I have some nifty programs on it. Including an NES emulator and every first-gen Nintendo game ever released. I'm upgrading to the MPx220 which adds a 1.2Mp camera, video capability, and bluetooth.
