Thanks Wilhammer. Something to look forward to, eventually, probable 2012 or something here in the UK.
Torrents.
When Battlestar Galactica resurfaced, it was shown several months ahead on Sky One before it got to the USA- I would get the episodes the next day via EZTV or Mininova.
It is said that this helped 'kill television' at the time.

Yes, a BoB type show chronically a unit that went to North Africa, Greece, Crete, back to North Africa, Italy would be rather great.

For you, John:
http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/hitler-s-stealth-fighter-3942/Overview23
"Back when stealth was very, very secret, a few people quietly advised me to take a look at the Horten Ho229, one of WW2 Germany's most advanced designs - a jet-powered flying wing made of wood. In a German book, a British documentary producer had found something even more interesting: the Horten brothers, Walter and Reimar, had planned to use a primitive radar absorbent structure (RAS) in the leading edges. They were to be made from a sandwich of plywood around a carbon-loaded filler. The only question: how well would it actually have worked?"
Hmmm, Our Tax Dollars at work, again?

I considered that also, but quickly rejected it due to lack of any apparent gun barrels on the front of the objects in question. Besides, the size of the exhaust nozzles would be out of proportion from any RR I have seen. I too think they are intended by the artist to represent some kind of super RATO boosters. Probably would tear the airframe apart if they were ever fired.
To expand on my earlier comment, people who draw this kind of thing are usually just enacting some kind of adolescent power fantasy with no regard for practicalities. Not exactly a hanging offense and I'm cool with it as long as nobody thinks it had a chance in hell of actually working.

John,
From what I have read, your preferred tome that claims the radiation levels is the ONLY source that claims the high levels, and that the Germ Gv't itself tested the area, and found nothing significant, after they the compensated for the elevated levels due to Chernobyl.
In other words, the book and the Mussolini Mission is all a farce.

Why does that plane have a tail wheel?
Its a spare. Notice the picture of the plane diving on the UfoNazi? It's turrets have been replaced. But what with?
-
Willhammer, you buffoon....you left out the Jews. Are you part of the Zionist, World Government cover-up as well? Or are you just duped by the media?
No, I did not forget.
One of my more recent FTF opponents I found for the Eden War Room is a die hard Zionist Conspiracy fruitcake, so I guess it was a matter of thinking I have already delivered a beating about it, most recently this past Saturday.
=============
On another note, The Website those antiNaziUfo plane pictures came from is awesome!

John will eventually get us to the above website - I figured we can just rush this along...or, in order to reinvigorate the old GF, which is all but dead, should we go the whole nine yards - Nazi Nuke and UFO Technology used by Greys and Reptoids controlled by the Illuminati bring down the WTC on 9/11 by Presidential Request stuff again?
Ahh, the Good Old Days...

On page 66 Albert Speer, Armaments Minister or sumfink, declares at his Nuremburg trial no such weapons exist in an exchange with the American prosecutor. Isn't that what those in the industry call 'pretty convincing evidence'?
good Luck Mike....
BTW, the choice of the word Atomic Weapons is misleading - it is entirely possible they tried a dirty bomb, but anyone can do that. Obviously the idea of a Trinity level test is absurd - had they done so it is logicla it would have been 'tested' on the battlefield.
And despite the testing claims, the real tests by real authorities turned up nothing.
The kernel of truth - the Germans were working on atomic energy - but they lacked the industrial capacity and wiped out or cause the emigration of their best scientists.

Hey, Kettler, I was reading an older magazine on wargaming last week, I want to think it was a Fire and Movement; probably the GIAV issue.
Anyway, some guy was talking about minis vs. board wargaming, and he refers to his first exposure to minis, when he found Ed, George and John Kettler owned a sand table.

Since Citrix Metaframe is essentially a rehash of the old mainframe Telnet remote application usage most users these days have problems with the fact that the "normal" functions of the PC will not work the quite the same under Citrix.
From the system admin POV Citrix is easy to manage. But only if all the users and user groups comply 100% with the set up. Well planned and executed Windows AD with intelligently drawn up policies beats Citrix hands down.
Being at higher Ed, faculty generally never wants to comply with anything. Students don;t care - they bypass everything. We have a pretty solid AD environment, but thinks like INB Banner ruin it; that and a lot of other Web Based Apps. VMing in our environment is just trying to please those Faculty Tech Wannabes who think 'Virtual Classroom' is so Cool, but they soon find out they don't really understand it. It will work in the classroom, but still, one flaw of the VM concept is narrowed points of failure - one piece of hardware hosting an Virtual Environment kills the whole thing. Sure, we can go redundant and cluster some servers, but that is more expensive than just going with desktops locked down in the Classroom AD subdomain. In that case, the Point of Failure is spread out over every desktop, and each one only costs about 1000 dollars, vs one VM server in the 15K to 20K range. And don't even try graphically intense stuff over VM....like Autocad. Oh well, we will make it work, and like so many other It projects, it will likely dead end.
-
Offhand:
Pros: no need to upgrade HW (any old rig will run as the desktop is "remote"), all SW up to date, licensing and version issues managed, all settings the same to all users/user groups. In short a control freaks wet dream.
Cons: when it (server, connection) goes down you are SOL, offline working a pain in general, local/remote backup/synchronization tricky, lisencing issues (max users/application deny access if not dealt with properly), universal settings = universal problems. In short, individualistic and innovative approach to working out the window.
Suitable for controlled environments with high security demands (hospitals etc), unsuitable for work which requires individual approach to problem solving etc.
Being in Higher Ed, we are looking at this for Academic Labs. Your final point is why.

Yikes, we are doing something quite similar with Xen.
Just got done with a meeting with one of the vendors quoting us.

This is REALLY cool!
A video Aggregation of free online lectures from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale.
Totally awesome, and by totally awesome, I Mean 10 Stars out of Five! (guess I need to work on my math skills)

See, we don't need to outsource to the Indo-Pakistan region!

I am almost surprised that we don't have folks hunting down a killing these Chief Extortion Offenders - most of them do deserve being shot.

I am not comfortable with tentacle porn, period. Unless you think some lubrication would help.
This might explain why Cylons are so Fraked in the head.

I think it is safe to say that Israeli Policy is not concerned with the well being of the Palestinian People.
Why else target the civilian infrastructure?
Of course, its also safe to say that the Palestinians don't care for the Israeli's well being either. Why else attack their civilian infrastructure (and civilians)?
It is an ugly conflict.
-
Nope. Last time round the Palestinian water and sewer infrastructure was taken out. It also regularly shuts down when the Israelis turn off the electricity.
The '67 war had a significant cause factor with Syria trying to divert the Sea of Galilee to prevent Israeli use of it as a fresh water/irrigation source.
The '67 War was also about Palestine.

An interesting point is made in a link followed above; much technology is discovered by accident, and in all likelyhood the carbon in the glue was one such thing.
Perfect Example:
"In the 1960s Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were working at AT&T Bell Laboratories, trying to improve microwave communications by reducing antenna noise. They found a noise in their antenna they simply couldn't remove. They considered all kinds of possibilities including bird droppings, but nothing helped. If the antenna was pointed at the sky, the noise appeared. The pointing direction and time of day didn't matter.
Finally they called an astrophysicist at Princeton, who told them what the signal probably was, hung up the phone, turned to his associates and said, "We've been scooped." The annoying noise was, in fact, the primordial radiation left over from the Big Bang. Penzias & Wilson won the Nobel Prize for their discovery."
