  1. will the GMA 950 mac mini graphics be enough (bootcamp or not)?
  2. Yeah its ok..ish but rather naive... the notion of a global command economy that succeeds where the soviet union failed is based on the notion that bar code tracking system is of a maturity that supply and demand and importantly equitable distribution can be more accurately modeled than current market actors who apply market competitiveness. The sections on city and urban design are almost comical like something out of Logans run. Part of human existence resides in organic unplanned growth and living in some bubble city is unlikely to be adopted. there is a fair amount of technorapture stuff flung in there which i find dubious. The paradox is the film is correct I think about its criticism of market system inefficiency which is based around short term cycles of inbuilt obsolescence and debt. However a market system that use times scales of benefit measured generationally rather than individually would bring about a far greater degree of efficiency in a way this zeitgiest bunch hope for... ie the market system is not invalid as long as the maximum profit is measured against the lifespan of the resource rather than a yearly salary or ledger sheet. I suppose its thought provoking and brave... its essentially a sort of scientific new age communism(dispite claiming not to be). I am not so much agin it but it looks out of place in this world. sh!t is F@%ked up
  3. I dont see the point of it if any old grunt cant fly it. cos your really just got a heavy but light lift helicopter that drives around with a overtrained expensive specialist driver? if it isn't a ubiquitous capability then there is no operational advantage. yeah its cool for the patrol that has one a multi tasking Bradley MICV is not cool in mobile warfare because there are only a few of them?
  4. most of the german helicopters used were unpowered towed autogyros for u boat use and the like
  5. I didn't know Israel had nuclear subs.... shows how I'm out of the loop
  6. where does the other 20% come from? this "busted: is a contradiction in terms
  7. 1930's US prostitute slang apparently.. which I doubt would be something the marine corp would not pick up on.
  8. i think you may be onto something here but where it leads is disturbing
  9. you could claim the RoE worked and saved lives in the long run as the surge did suppress insurgent activity....OTOH the fact the RoE have manifested themselves in this video plastered over the interwebs undermines the future those guys were supposedly killed for when is the end effect? if we argue end justified the means ..which is the defense in this case then what is that end?
  10. weird thinking recovering alive insurgent could be one reason i guess but the impression the guys give is thy want to kill them
  11. what this guy said they saw what they wanted to see interested to know if it has been established whether the armed guys were insurgents or hired guards?
  12. "you see Marlon I'm the only man in Mega city 1 who can head eggs into a Bucket"
  13. a sunderland downed two JU 88's that's quite a feat
  14. turing's bike and gas mask use to tell people he wore the gas mask due to hay fever despite the fact the rides he went on seemed "pointless" truth stranger than fiction.
  15. actually it was a British Homosexual auto asphyxiation perv into riding a bike with a gas mask on who won the war
  16. the average size i know not the fields were tiny at times stems from a local medieval custom/law of dividing the land equally between all the sons on death.. lead to the atmosiation of plot sizes
  17. +1 as they say... the whole Third Reich concept was not going to fly... short of an absolute miracle they were never going to pull it off
  18. it was an organizational mess of there own and specifically Hitlers creation. getting exercised about the Elan of Wehrmacht small unit leaders or this or tha relative strengths of equiment or doctrine is not where the problem was...
