  1. If you take a look at the armored car that is left to the one i have selected and then take a closer look at its tires, you will note that they are in an absolutely weird position that was probably not intended to be that way. Those are not shadows and the AB41 has its steering wheel on the front (you are seeing the vehicle from behind). The tires (all 4) actually even turn around the Z axis during movement. Has anyone else ever observed such strange behaviour?

    Yes, I observed exactly the same behavior agusto.

    What I found though was the wheels would only spin around the z-axis at a certain zoom level

    and if I zoomed in they would resume back to correctly spinning around the x-axis.

  2. Not sure but just in case you are not joking: the Washington with the "legal" weed is Washington State not Washington DC. So, no, not near Baltimore. And if you did make the trip to Washington State, I would not recommend trying to transport any of that weed back to Ireland. The US Federal government is *not* OK with this whole "legal" weed thing.

    from Canada but used to live in Washington State

    Thanks Ian.

    I am reasonably aware of the federal government vs state government laws structure in the US which I suppose was made most internationally prominent during the Civil Rights movement in the 60's.

    And yes I was being 'tongue in cheek' though I would dearly love to visit Baltimore sometime.

  3. God I loved that series. So much so I even bought the book on it reviewing the episodes and going into the background of what was happening in Baltimore at the time and what the producer/directors were trying to look at. Great great television.

    I am just re watching it for the umpteenth time. The gf and I were even considering going on a Baltimore 'The Wire' tour. Is Baltimore near Washington so I can pick up some legal weed on the way?

  4. Taking the 'Schroedinger round' analogy to it's logical conclusion means there are many parallel universes where this 'problem' is not present eg. BFC selling their souls to the military for wads of cash or Steve and Charles both having Siamese twins hence 100% increase in output.

    p.s. the place for knocking addicts and the 'feckless unemployed' is the good old tabloid press ,not here imho.

  5. I hope I am not getting too political but both Chechen rebels and the current pro-Russian Chechen government are notorious for their human rights abuses, not to say the Russians are/were any better.

    So perhaps 'Freedom fighters' and 'Terrorists' can be one and the same?

    On a side note, when I was a 12 year old schoolboy, the US ambassador came to my school to give a talk. At the time I was a bit of a ideological 'Red under the bed' and I challenged him why his government was supporting Mujaheddin 'terrorists' against the 'legitimate' Afghan government. Needless to say he slapped me down, saying something along the lines of supporting 'freedom' against evil commie bastards. Obviously when you are young everything is much more black & white.

    Has anyone read 'Afghantsy' by Rodric Braithwaite? It gives a much more balanced perspective without all that Cold War BS and I would recommend it to anyone interested in that period.

  6. Hi all,

    A Russian CMSF pbem opponent just asked me this question(he speaks no English and my only phrase in Russian is 'Возьмите меня в ближайший бордель!').

    Quote -

    'You know any directory on the armed countries of the world? In electronic form or the small book. That the device of armed forces of the different countries was described presently. At me only old, for 2001

    You:

    Have you tried 'Janes'?

    You:

    www.janes.com

    Oppo:

    There only arms. The structure is necessary to me. And a directory at them multivolume and very expensive. At us small books where alphabetically (for certain year) the world countries, the population, the military budget number and structure of Armed forces (how many arias, cases, divisions and brigades were listed) earlier were published'.

    Can anyone suggest a suitable site?

    Thanks in advance.
