  1. Quite. Cutting someone open under supervision does not a surgeon make. His dad is an idiot. It's probably not a huge risk, after-all there was a real surgeon right there, albeit a moronic one.
  2. The miscarriage of justice here is so blatant and politically motivated that you ignoring the facts and trotting out that glib shite is an indictment of you. Not even Kallend is low enough to support this conviction preferring to point out his perceived asymmetry which is even where you started. Are you going to address the issue of his innocence at all or simply spout the same boiler-plate crap and intentionally ignore an injustice because Scooter is a Republican (and not a hero by any means, just a once obscure functionary). I objected to the Martha Stewart railroading on similar grounds and obviously not because she was a republican, but this IMHO is MUCH worse. It's a shame you prefer to see an innocent man destroyed for politics than address an injustice.
  3. P.S.There is no way that they are rendering this in Google Earth, that was slightly misleading. I suspect they just provide context at the start with a simple aircraft animation into simplified towers in situ. Then they switch to some other animation/rendering system, and of course they even mention ray-tracing for the fuel visualization. So the Google Earth part is just at the start.
  4. Excellent stuff, the lack of explosion simulation and using the fuel fluid dynamics alone to fake it is troubling. That aircraft became a giant FAE soon after impact. It would be nice to see some estimate at least of the effect of this omission.
  5. There are innumerable systems of justice that are better than your & your allies "Two wrong's make a right". You appear unaware of the concept of blind justice and worse you & others explicitly seek to link very different cases motivated only by politics of various kinds. Can the left sink any lower than this? You're not even arguing the merits of the case anymore just saying screw him, Clinton got prosecuted. Posting on a topic means I care about the topic, it's pathetic that I have to point this out. Jesus it's a like kindergarten pushing match. Now stick to the topic.
  6. But being the "high road" kinda guy you are... you'll not support Libby's conviction because wrong is wrong no matter who's side it's on, right? No, his post informs the reader of the opposite on all counts.
  7. Bullshit, and your statement just demonstrates that when it comes to politics you're utterly corrupt. I don't give a shit what you have patience for. Your post demonstrates that your interest in justice lies on one side of the political fence.
  8. Since you mention lynchings, still there are those who think the American justice system is capable of making correct decisions 100% of the time in death penalty cases. Here, I pulled the links print for you since you must not have read it. given your abstract thread hyjacking reply. . Whoosh. If you don't like the way the justice system works when it "lynches" (shitty analogy) one of your heros, how come you approve when it actually really kills people. He's nobody's hero, he was an obscure bureaucrat who's life got destroyed in the cause of your political heroes, as a bankrupt 4th estate did nothing about it, worse did their level best to misrepresent it to the public so it would happen. Even now that he's well known he's still nobody's hero, just a victim of a very dubious political prosecution.
  9. Hitchens sums it up nicely. http://www.slate.com/id/2168642/ All the liars and left wing sheep who THINK they know what the case was about should be ashamed over this debacle of a prosecution. The judges comment which Hitchens quotes is one aspect I wasn't aware of before now and is frankly utterly disgusting and goes beyond bias. I was already aware of other quirks in the proceedings. This whole situation makes a joke of American justice and those who lick their chops over Libby's misfortune drag it through the mire for their own gratfication.
  10. It was a mistake. Cornelius still jumps a leg mounted pilot chute and the jumper you see deploying for him accidentally docked on the handle when trying to take a grip on his leg strap. When he drifted back he realized he'd extracted the pilot chute and did the right thing by letting it go promptly. It was an unplaned accidental deployment at ~10k so I think that qualifies as premature, but perhaps I have my nomenclature wrong....?
  11. Also google video, this is probably the most interesting jump video I have, I'm in this one but I didn't shoot it. Cornelius has a premature at 10k :-) Then the fun starts. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3180346384758440333 P.S. I think the exit shot on this one is spectacular.
  12. Yup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEZRvZCC14U Really light load too
  13. This seems adapted from a Warcraft game mod. I used to play this online but multiplayer as a team. Unfortnately it crashed my flash player, due to the greatness of my play :-(.....
  14. Add new meaning to a "hard opening".
  15. Rubbish, your God is not insulted, you are, and only because you chose to come here and read. Your beliefs are not owed any special reverence by others and further you are not being persecuted. I see Christians CONSTANTLY insult hard science & its proponents. America was founded by people fleeing persecution by Christians. You've got a nerve saying you're being persecuted because people exercise THEIR freedom to discuss anything they choose. It is difficult to calculate the numbers of heretics who were persecuted by Christian Churches, but for a lesson in real persecution, read a history book on what happened to the Cathars just as one example among MANY. Your self-pitying drivel about persecution is merely self-indulgent bilge su you & your fellow Christians feel good about what they must endure for their faith when in fact then endure nothing of the sort here, and certainly in America they endure far less than they mete out to others who "offend" them. Persecution.... snort!
  16. It's quite disgusting that you would jump to the defense of the academic scumbags who tried to railroad these kids just because you're an academic too. Even more-so because you dare to accuse others of selective outrage. Serious study estimates false rape accusations to run at around 40%, the numbers vary by demographic & by study, none dip below 25%. Yet the PC bozos at that University who preach freedom yet don't have the first damned clue what it means couldn't wait to form the core of the rabble baying for revenge. What a shameful collection of dolts and a sorry excuse for a group of 'intellectuals'.
  17. Congrats, I see I replied to a bumped thread. Well done.
  18. Wrong forum, you want gear & rigging for advice on removing stains from zero-p.
  19. Please learn about the issues before posting. This is an additional charge paying for infrastucture like ATC that major airlines/carriers use. They've lobbied to offload their expenses onto general aviation...... because they could and it's nice to have others pay your bills. It may not have an immediate impact on us, but it's the thin end of the wedge.
  20. Fiat are so shit they had to abandon the USA market completely, but it sounds like you're getting the shaft from some a real shyster dealer. There's no excuse for what they've done w.r.t. incomplete service. Get a placard and picket them. Pick a major sales holiday weekend and stand outside their premises with a large placard and hand out fliers. Alternatively you can just do this every weekend and tell them you will continue until they give you a written apology signed by the dealership manager and they resolved your problems to your complete satisfaction (sometimes retribution takes commitment). You could place a placard on your vehicle and drive it there & park it outside their dealership. Make sure everything you say is backed up by documentation. It sounds to me like you've gone hot & cold on this at times and whenever you've relaxed they've promptly paced you back on square zero. 9 months is a long time to hobble along on broken promises and they probably think they've worn you down or if they've gotten away with it this far they can keep ignoring you because you're a sap. Do you have lemon laws there?
  21. http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/meter.html Quoted in pertinent part; So, what they're saying is; it was arbitrary to begin with because clearly there's nothing "special" about the earth or how latitude and longitude work or the number 10,000,000, they got it wrong, they KNEW they got it wrong, but fuck it . . . they're French! C'est la vie! Yeah, great system. No, it's completely arbitrary. You seem to struggle with the metric concept and keep setting up straw men. But kelpdiver and kallend have already 'splained things. You're wise to ignore their posts if your objective is to yell at the tide and try to inflict this silly anachronism you cling to on our grandkids.
  22. I can tell you need this, so see my attachment.
