I have cable and lately its impossible to get a decent connect Most DSL connections are slower than what you can have on cable... but you can always be sure to have a stable connection. Sometimes the ping get a little bad (it was awful last december, but I read there was a burst of new members), but speeds stays good. And the line is yours as much as a phone line is yours.

What's with the japanese style wings? I have nothing against Japan.. it just looks out of place... Btw, I wouldn't feel much secure in this this fighter... too much windows, little armor plating. Hope you're wearing a spacesuit all the time. [ 06-10-2002, 15:18: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Personally, I think the Israel needs to do some serious (bloody) show off. Not just sending a few tanks 1 or 2 days shooting on some government headquarters. Get messy, and say you will do it again if you see fit. The situation is over diplomatic context. Diplomacy won't chance a thing, but put Israel and the United States in a rather complicated and embarrassing situation.

The computer never became evil, and, I'm not sure thought, I think it was part of a compilation of small stories.

Interesting read. Remind me of the ever classic of "non-sensical intelligence" where logic would assume stuff such as "To get rid of an epidemic, kill every infected one", "A region is frenquently flooded, then move everyone elsewhere", etc...

ROFL!

quote:Originally posted by Dredd: How about we just put the military superiority this way. If there was a US vs Israel conventional war, (or nuclear) Israel's armed forces would be crushed very, very, very quickly. Israel's troops may be elite, but 500 New American troops can take out 150-250 Israeli vets, and if you start getting involved in the aircraft, Israel doesn't have F-22s or the stealth bombers, and you cant shoot down what you can't see (F-22s are radar resistant too).But it's NOT USA vs Israël, so why do you people keep arguing on that??

Yeah right, a government official will have a lycos email adress...

How unusual... touching....

Very nice indeed.

Btw - what's "special" about June 6th, as it seems to be a special date...?

For those who thinks it's a waste of tax money.... The Army wastes more money than you think!

I read that the Israeli air force has some of the best pilots in the world. I made a little search and found some interesting articles. Article 1 Article 2 (a little old) From the second article I like this quote : quote:The Israelis also possess a huge arsenal of nuclear, chemical, andbiological weapons. Indeed, the military strength of the little State of Israel is estimated to be about eight times that of all the Arab armies combined! [ 06-05-2002, 20:47: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]
