  3. quote:Originally posted by street: Jamotto, My condolences. I hope your friend made it. If one has not actually been, in that position...for an EXTENDED amount of time, one cannot possibly understand the consequence to the human psych. I have been there, and KNOW, the reality of the ADRENELINE..and the fear, and the phsychological crash, when removed from such an UNREAL enviroment, these soldiers find themselves. It is EASY, for someone, who has experianced WAR, on TV and through others, to cry out for more, and to be disassociated, with the REALITY it entails. I have seen men, like it so much, they created situations, where they could kill "legitamately", and would get depressed, if there was no action, for more than a week. Others, Ive seen break down and cry, from the ANTICIPATION alone. These were NOT children, but 6'4", 285 lb hardened MEN! One, cannot anticipate how far they may go, in ANY direction within the human psyche, until they have experianced life's worst possible scenerios, and survived. Thank you Street, still no word on his whereabouts. The 48 hour hold time has expired so if the worst has happened my friend will know soon.
  4. quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: Oh PUHLEASE, give me a fricking break. We freed 50 MILLION people, and have lost less then 1100 soldiers. Give me a fricking break. We have also killed close to 50,000, yes, 50,000 terrorists. I am damn proud of our troops, they have done a heck of a job, even with the media playing grim reaper every fricking day. Here Read this, and tell me that somehow our troops are demoralized because of it. Again, you guys need to get real and look at the BIG picture, we have lost less then 1/3 in 18 months, of what we lost in 1 fricking day, because of 911. Oh. that's right, 911 is ancient history. Geez, you guys are just too much. Here's a piece of that article I linked to. quote: BAQUBA, Iraq (AFP) - The deaths of 1,000 American troops in Iraq (news - web sites) since the 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) has only strengthened US resolve to restore security to the strife-torn country, soldiers said. AFP/File Photo Dismissing parallels with the 1961-75 war in Vietnam, officers lashed out at the media for playing the grim-reaper over the mounting casualty toll and failing to appreciate the sacrifices made by each soldier. "It sucks. The newspapers glorify it. Everyday, reporting the numbers going up and up, trying to push a point," said Captain Gregory Wingard, 39, at the 1st Infantry Division's Camp Warhorse near Baquba, north of Baghdad. "Sad as it is for those 1,000 families and their friends, they're nothing to the number of Iraqis that get killed trying to defend their own families," he added, smoking a cigar with friends under the stars. Snip So please, enough of the and get some and going instead. You missed the part quote:"I'm scared even to take a shower in case they mortar us. I want to go home and be with my wife and start a family," said Specialist Luis Cruz, 21, from Puerto Rico, also based near Baquba. Any ways the son of a friend of mine was in the unit that suffered 7 fatalities that pushed the count to over a 1000. No word yet if he is alive or dead.
  5. Genesis Space Capsule Crashes Into Desert quote:The impact drove the capsule halfway underground. NASA engineers feared the explosive for the parachute might still be alive and ready to fire, keeping helicopter crews at bay. "That presents a safety hazard to recovery crews," said Chris Jones, solar system exploration director for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory The copters were supposed to snatch the capsule's parachute with a hook as it floated down at 400 feet a minute, or more than 6 feet per second. But the capsule tumbled out of control. It was supposed to be spinning at 15 revolutions a minute to slice evenly through the atmosphere, but camera images showed it tumbling instead.I don't think anything went right for them.
  6. quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: Bush's records are NOT missing.Jaguar, could you please post a link to the DoD article that says that it found the five missing records. I searched the DoD website but could not find any statement that said they had found the five records. I would like to read the statement though.

  8. quote:Originally posted by Mrxknown: Um, I tried replacing the original game mp3s with my own (I replace the name of my songs so they were the same as the orig). However when I do the game doesn't play any music at all.What software encoder are you using? The mp3's have got to be encoded using constant bit rate, not variable bit rate. The dBpowerAMP Music Converter seems to work well Link or if you have the cd burning software from Nero there should be a program called "Nero Wave Editor" that can convert wav's to mp3's that has worked well for me also.

  10. I like Notrium also created by this indie. also if you like spyhunter this indie has created a really good clone adam dawes
  11. yes, if my memory serves me I think you are correct. I do believe though that there is a third alternative Lithium though one change is required the liquid of choice would have to be something other than water, ammonia perhaps?
  12. From a hypothetical view wouldn't this just strengthen the hurricane by helping its updraft? Besides i don't think you can escape mother nature that easily.
  13. Link quote: Finland knows what to do with Nokia Phones. They throw them. This weekend was the 5th international Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships organized by finish translation company Fennolingua.

  18. small update 'Star Trek' Actor Doohan Receives Star quote: LOS ANGELES - "Star Trek" actor James Doohan (news) ÔÇö famed for his portrayal of "Beam Me Up" Scotty, the intrepid engineer who kept the starship Enterprise warping across galaxies ÔÇö grinned and waved to fans Tuesday as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was expected to be the last public appearance of the 84-year-old performer, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites) and also suffers from Parkinson's disease (news - web sites), diabetes and lung fibrosis. The ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard was the culmination of several days of farewell activities that brought Doohan back into contact with many of this longtime fans. George Takei, who played Sulu on "Star Trek," told the crowd: "This is a galactic day in this town full of stars. "We've gathered from throughout this planet to say congratulations to you, Jimmy," Takei said. "We love you and we thank you for your luminous talent. We thank you for the gift you have given us of that unforgettable character, that ingenious and beloved engineer that was able to fix anything." Other "Star Trek" cast members to attend were Nichelle Nichols, who was Uhura on the series, and Walter Koenig, who played Chekov. "He's a wonderful friend, a beautiful person," Nichols said of Doohan. "There is no one better than he, and no one more deserving. We all love this man." Koenig said he felt great companionship with Doohan after decades of working together, from the original TV series in 1966 to their last film in 1994, "Star Trek: Generations." "This star is a recognition of a man's talent, his endurance and the effect that he's had on people all over the world," Koenig said. Doohan did not speak to the crowd, but he waved and posed for photos before leaving with his family.
