  1. Yeah that sucks. DC's still bad, though.
  2. OK, that's the third time you've bashed Bolton. Do you want to actually explain why you don't like him?
  3. In a two-party system, does anyone honestly think there is such thing as a PERFECT candidate?
  4. You're right, it would have been much better to have no one at all.
  5. Combination of student loans, part-time jobs, and college clubs. Many schools have clubs that get at least partial funding, so they can help with some of the gear and training costs.
  6. Just let Tink loose around campus. That should bring the AFF's flooding in.
  7. So, what realistic changes do people think will come from this?
  8. Get Ad-aware. It's the new hotness. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
  9. ....then off to the Pink Pony [again]?
  10. Seems to me Bush got the majority of the electoral votes in that one.
  11. Luckily for us we still live in a country where majority rules (except in the Senate).
  12. Well, except for the majority of the American voting public that voted him back into office for a second term.
  13. No, it's definitely the commercial beforehand. The F-14s in the movie were the older models, without the in-cockpit refreshment systems.
  14. yeah, I've got the original VHS tape of the movie, and there's a Diet Pepsi commercial at the very beginning, before the previews. It's a pretty cool commercial, where the guy has to flip his fighter to pour a soda.
  15. yeah, they were hot. I picked a good day to be at the DZ.
  16. is there any way at all to work a couple of jumps into this?
  17. 400+ jumps and 4.5 years in the sport. No reserve rides yet....

    why, you wanna buy a duck?
  19. If you're a Christian Bale fan, go see Equilibrium. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
  20. This came out as part of the NTSB hearing into this crash: -------- WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Air Line Pilots Association Executive Air Safety Chairman Capt. Terry McVenes issued the following statement after day one of the National Transportation Safety Board Public Hearing on the Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701 accident that took place on Oct. 14, 2004, in Jefferson City, Mo. “The NTSB investigation makes it clear that if just one of the two stalled engines had restarted, this accident would never have occurred. The facts show that the pilots followed the proper procedures and attempted to restart their engines multiple times. But both engines failed to restart because they had suffered ‘core lock,’ a safety risk previously known only to engine and aircraft manufacturers until very recently--and about which the pilots knew nothing. While the FAA’s Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin issued on June 2, 2005 instructs pilots about how to avoid the ‘core lock’ danger, it comes far too late for our lost colleagues" -------- As he says, "The facts show that the pilots followed the proper procedures and attempted to restart their engines multiple times." They did everything they could to save the plane, but because of an equipment problem about which they knew absolutely nothing, they couldn't get the engines going again. That's why they crashed.
