    Books

    I finished reading Cradle by Arthur C. Clarke. It was a decent book which I am happy to have finished. Although a bit anti-climactic. I also read I am Legend right after I saw the movie... finished it in three days, at work, on breaks. It was ok.. not as good as I thought it would be, but definitely a good book to read in order to understand the older generations... but yea, now I am reading Starship Troopers.. and hopefully will be done with that in the next two weeks or so...
  2. I very rarely look at the screen or the keyboard... if i make a mistake I generally know it just by where my fingers have hit... Typing was drilled into me though by both my school and my parents, from a very early age. So.. it was a simple transition to computers..
  3. I saw I am Legend a few weekends back and actually enjoyed it more than the book. The book was written so long ago that the social commentary in it almost doesn't apply to today's culture. The movie and book had different endings and different commentaries which were appropriate for the time. I saw Sweeny Todd just the other night and must say its a pretty damn good movie. Of course, Helena Bonham Carter does a great job, as does Johnny Depp. Unfortunately I had to endure seeing the movie from the front row, but plan on seeing it again comfortably from the back. Oh and hello all. I'm still around, just tons of overtime and no more internet allowed at work. So I really forget to check the site from home sometimes but plan on doing so once I get back in town from the family's abode.
  4. Its a little large to just stick here.. so.. heres a link.. The fainting goats... explained!
  5. who us? nerds?.. nah.. hahaha.. and now for something completely different.. Cripple Fight
  6. Not to beat a dead horse.. but.. its not orbit Rob... here.. i was trying to find a graphic from popular science.. (or was it Popular Mechanics).. that illustrated what they are talking about.. either way.. this one is pretty damn good... http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39231000/gif/_39231078_hypersonic_bomber_416inf.gif You can see, that they are talking about a plane which will deliver ordnance on the other side of the earth within two hours... it would be considerably less if the flight path were shorter.... (its a two hour trip from New York to Tokyo in one of those planes..)
  7. So if it's not a weapon of Mass destruction it's ok. So that means we can use anything short of a nuke and still be within treaty. Def, nuclear weapons are not the only WMD.. and besides.. going back to one of the older posts.. Definately sounds like a WMD to me... really guys, in all reality yes.. its a program for the defense department.. and that more than likely means it could be used for war efforts.. but again, it never said it HAD to be nukes or even WMD's the Aurora is simply a hypersonic aircraft which goes into (near)space in order to traverse (close to) the ENTIRE earth in roughly two hours.... that fits the article.. almost to a tee... it never said it would be space based or for that matter, HAD to be in space for two hours.. it said simply that it COULD aquire a target on the other side of the earth in two hours...
  8. yea, but then you're a scab and the companies are hiring scabs... which is not favorable... (scab is slang for strikebreaker) the guild would go crazy... plus then when the strike is ended and they are all hired back... there you are sitting among the people who's face you spat in... and thats never good...
  9. I have to agree with Tex here guys, whats the big deal? Not only did the article never once say that it is a permanent space fixture, but it never once said anything about missiles EXCEPT in the TITLE of the webpage... and that was given by someone who is obviously not the author of the article... the article only mentions missiles when it refers to the program that is going to lose funding, not the one that is acquiring funding... oh and to quote the link Tex posted... This is to say that the other article which states CONUS = CONtinental United States.... they are saying the same thing just different code names... which have a tendency to change over time.. so.. its probably the same thing... a damn plane... so.. relax guys... its ok.. its not the end of the world..
  10. I think at that point the last thing on your mind is the color control on your car.. you'd be fine but all your other electrical systems are fried too...
  11. That would be pretty awesome... except the whole car being white when its turned off thing.... thats a tad annoying.. i hate white cars..
  12. Dammit JH, you have bested me!!! For some reason, I thought the quote was "Damn the laws of thermodynamics", but you have proved me wrong. I do remember him saying that. Bravo. Wasn't trying to best you or anything Rob I actually had to search it to make sure I was remembering correctly... anyway.. just thought i would throw this in there... about thermo.. The laws of Thermodynamics... summed up Zeroth: You must play the game. First: You can't win. Second: You can't break even. Third: You can't quit the game.
  13. Dude! Eagle! I love that game! It was one of my favorites back when it came out, I never did get the expansion though... although I found out that its all still for sale through the website.. but that is awesome! you have got to post more about it! I love dragging mine out from time to time and playing some of the old school games... unfortunately my SNES broke a few years back.. and have yet to repair it.. but im sure you could find a NES on ebay or somethin...
  14. Congrats Krytos! It's a wonderful day when grad finally happens, but at the same time it's quite a sad day.. because its the beginning of 40 years of 8-5 work around the clock with no winter or summer breaks.. try not to let me scare you too much.. all in all its a great thing.. congrats again krytos!
  15. ahahahahahaha that was great!... I loved this one too.
