I want to slap this guy. He goes on and on about robots being emotionless, but completely fails to mention that we have NO combat robots that are autonomous.
And then with the slide show - He's showing exoskeletons and all that jazz and then busts out a picture from the Braingate project. Seriously? You're comparing a technology that allows a quadriplegic to have very limited use of a computer to that of humans interfacing with combat robots?

What really made me laugh was the side-by-side of the Star Wars AT-ST and the Japanese walker mech.

First of all, you're a douche. ZOMG! Not some piece of shit "mech" that simulates walking by gliding on wheels made by some guy in his garage out of sheet metal!

Secondly, he seems to willfully neglect that these machines are NO different than a predator drone, a M1A1 Abrams tank, or a 2004 Toyota Camry.

They all require an operator.

The pilot had a choice and he chose correctly. He could have waited a minute or two, held out hope that they could re-start the engines and make it to the airports the controllers were suggesting or he could nose down right then to maintain enough speed to flare and land safely.
That's the difference between a hero and a competent pilot.
I think it is important that he was an experienced glider pilot. He knew that that those jets cannot glide and when the thrust stops they drop like rocks. He needed to take immediate steps to get on the ground safely and on his own terms. That was amazing.

Ahh, the joys of that game + a Voodoo Banshee (for that 3DFX Glide perfection).

/pines for a good DX sequel.

JFK Jr. for one thing was flying too low over open water. Ask any pilot and you are supposed to be a lot higher then he was -- with enough altitude to be able to glide back to land. He wasn't. He also wasn't ILS rated and shouldn't have been flying.

This crash was very likely pilot error and will probably take about a year before the final NTSB report. It wasn't fuel or icing so likely pilot error in non-ideal weather conditions. Not clear if there was a problem with his plane but initial reports do not look that way. Look at it this way, people would be going nuts no matter what happened to him. He could have had a stroke, heart attack, car accident, anything and people would be going nuts. Just so you know Connell wasn't testifying anywhere. He wasn't cooperative when he did testify once for two hours.

Somebody is going to find out eventually.

If you coated a ship's hull with this stuff, would it instantly sink?


no but good fucking idea.

If they coated ships hulls with this, wouldnt it decrease friction, thus making the boat ALOT more productive?

Cause nobody can do it like Mix Master Mike can,

What! StukaFox, ^ have you not seen the video with the ants that form sheets which can practically glide down from trees? Take a look. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/youare

Huffington Post had it on their website until recently.

Robert J. Elisberg wrote:

"Just when you didn't think things could get worse for John McCain - they go in the toilet. Literally.So, you remember Joe the Plumber, who John McCain kept relentlessly bringing up. And up. The apparently undecided plumber who had complained to Barack Obama that he couldn't buy his own plumbing company because he'd have to pay 3% more in taxes. The plumber who John McCain lauded as an Everyman while oddly proclaiming "Congratulations! You're rich!" in the midst of a disastrous recession. The fellow who said that Barack Obama "tap dances better than Sammy Davis Jr."That guy. Well, it turns out he's the one gliding around the dance floor so much, you should expect to see him soon on "Dancing with the Stars."You see, Joe Wurzelbacher is apparently related to Robert Wurzelbacher. Who is the son-in-law of (are you ready...?) Charles Keating!Yes, that Charles Keating. The Charles Keating of the "Keating 5" Scandal. For which John McCain was reprimanded by the United States Senate, for his involvement in attempting to illegally influence government regulators. The Charles Keating who John McCain has been trying to avoid have mentioned. So, he basically mentioned it 24 times."

Y'know if ya use silly-putty and place a saxophone mouthpiece onna pocket trumpet you can get about 8 tones approaching some lowish dbs that don't come round too often......Thanks westy......My next Power Point is in 17 hrs....Sure someone will step up to the plate before I can.....


So......Why do you need a promote, anyhow?-The air you breathe supports your lilting glide through the microverse.......
