  14. Narci, is that the same as 'how will we know we have won the war on terror'?

  18. "so 10 seconds to chase, catch, and pull...... brrrrrrr" Your going to have to be good to be able to close, pin, locate (probably tumbling, probably back to earth attitude) friend's silver, and pull in 10 secs. Your going to have to be very good. That said, I would do everything in my power to mitigate such a situation (whilst keeping an eye on the groundrush), like you said, how could you live with yourself if you didn't at least give your best shot? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  20. For what its worth, The Telegraph is the thinking man's right wing newspaper, I'm not surprised you guys give it a thumbs up.

  23. Cool, for what its worth, de-interlacing is in the 'export settings', from memory its a wee sub menu.

  24. "People love to point out the foibles of the U.S., " Not in this instance PJ, the acceptance and use of torture is unacceptable, whether it is done by our own people or sub-contracted out.
