  1. You'd think the Navy would let museums have more parts for their display Tomcats--- every part mounted on a US one means it won't be mounted on an Iranian one!  Honestly I think museums might be more secure, rather than having the parts in "miscellaneous DOD warehouses".  The stuff the military "loses" is scary.

    You can say that again. I remember my dads old stories when he was station in guam as a painter for helocopters he uncovered a coffee can full of gold plated nuts and bolts that be belived belong to the presidental helocopter. how it sent to there he has no clue.

  2. The problem with saying is whether or not it is classified at all, and in this case I am not sure so I am keeping my mouth shut.  I have actually given plenty of clues when you really think about it.

    Let me guess, something thats is suposed to be flexible gets stiff and starts cracking?

  3. If there's one thing I've learned about fan-made comics on Macross World. It's that they're not funny. Not a single one.

    What about Little Valkyrie comic strips? I think those were funny.

    Little Valk sucked. The only thing funny about that was the writer's elitist schtick wherein he had so much hot-air blown up his ass he thought his strips were actually worthwhile and something approaching "art."

    The only reason people thought Little Valk (and other various fan-made comics on MW) were funny or amusing or even worthwhile is because they feature Macross. Put any other series in there and the people on MW would be realizing them for the unfunny crap they are.

    Those are fighting words :p

    I liked those comics the part with the pokemon not as much but rest was good.

  4. We need to start a new military branch so we get a fatal fury.  I liked that neo geo game.

    403492[/snapback]

    Sky Fury, Sea Fury, Storm Fury Unite! When our powers combine we become Fatal Fury!

    403973[/snapback]

    Heh :lol:

    its

    Sky

    Sea!

    Storm!

    GO Fury!

    With your powers combined I am Fatal Fury!

    Fatal Fury!, he's our hero,

    Gonna take pollution down to zero,

    He's our powers magnified,

    And he's fighting on the planet side

    Fatal Fury!, he's our hero,

    Gonna take pollution down to zero,

    Gonna help him put us under,

    Bad guys who like to loot and plunder

    "You'll pay for this Fatal Fury!"

    (chanting)

    We're the Furyteers,

    You can be one too!

    'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do,

    Looting and polluting is not the way,

    Hear what Fatal Fury! has to say:

    "THE POWER IS YOURS!!"

    edit: hmm I just relized the captain planet lyrics suck.

  5. Zentrandude, your dad sucks.

    Actually a number of you, your parents suck for the horror stories that have been told.  But man Zentrandude, your dad sounds either sadistic, or you must have done something really bad. :p

    edit: not that most things kids do earns having one of your favorite toys blown up by a parent, that's just cruel

    403870[/snapback]

    cruel yes but thinking back he just wanted me to grow up, he was working since he was 14 and since I was 8 at the time he was preparing me by killing my childhood with a bang. At the time he also made me cut tons of wood with a spilting maul and stack them cords apon cords, learn to survive in the woods alone with a pistol and one magazine in the dead of winter (good thing it was the mild winter of washington state instead of the bitter cold of michigan he tells me about), and gut and clean out every single animal he killed during animal and fishing season.

    Strangly enough I became a computer geek changing out electron boards, soldering stuff replacing computer components as my hobby.

  6. You know, I really feel some of your guys' pain.  I haven't experienced anything as horrific as some of what you've described, and the women in my life have always been understanding about my stuff... but I've had my dad throw out things here and there that were important to me at the time in the name of "cleaning" and "organizing".

    It's something that I have a hard time understanding, why some folks just don't have respect for someone else's stuff.  Feels like that sort of thing should be common sense.  I wonder if it's because some parents didn't have childhoods filled with toys, so they don't quite understand what these chunks of plastic actually mean to their kids.

    Okay, I did let a friend borrow a bunch of my Star Wars figures, including the ROTJ Luke that was my favorite.  At some point he either decided he wasn't giving them back or broke/lost enough of them to make that difficult.  All I remember was that I had to get my parents to drive me over in order to exchange back all of the belongings we had of each other, and by then, the friendship had kind of soured so it ended up being a last shot hostage exchange of sorts.  Luke never made it though, and I never found a replacement.

    403697[/snapback]

    I can feel for ya on the parent factor on the demise of our stuff. Had a 1/100 vf-1s back in the 80s, he took it out to the range and he shot it with a 308 then blew up whats left with a blasting cap. To make matters worst he went out and retrive whats left of the head and dropped it in my hands.

  7. Longs its not used extremely that a salor would blush I think it would be ok for occasional profanity.

    I personally love it. It's comedy gold every time I get to read a post full of "poo"s and "farts". If I had my drothers I'd make the replaced words even more crazy like Llama, Gearshift Foxtrot Blowfish.

    Seriously though, people know you are cussing... most of the time it's funnier when you hear the bleep rather than the actual word.

    402393[/snapback]

    Yeah, when you think about, the bleep sounds used to censor out profanity does make them sound funnier. On a personal note, when I watch the Maury show, I laugh when I hear the guests have their profanity censored out, especially when you hear them use consecutive cuss words like mother fugging dope ass son of a vitch censored out for 5 seconds or more. :lol:

    I should start using more hilarious insults like gearbox, peniswrinkle, or chicken fugger

    402397[/snapback]

    Yah if you watch the jimmy kimbal show's unnessarry censorship, its pretty funny how your mind thinks something differnt.

  8. Man that was wild. I don't know what my Japanese brethren be doing in Japan but they really must have been that bored to create a TV series about famous anime robots battling it out mono-a-mono. I personally consider it Japan's version of battlebots but only more appealing.

    402376[/snapback]

    And Battlebots was just America's version of the british "Robot Wars" only less appealing.

    402391[/snapback]

    Wasn't both just radio controlled lawnmowers with nailguns strapped on them?

  9. Space elevator? well.....for the cost I think rocketing it's easier, Imagine the ENORMOUS

    amounts of materials needed for build that (it can be beaten), the extraordinary depth of the constructionn pit (for foundations, beatable as well) and if a 9.0 richter earthquake hits that bye bye (unless is built by japanese engineers, in that case only a 10+ quake could possibly do something)

    392792[/snapback]

    You're thinking in terms of a terrestrially constructed elevator (Earth-based, with an orbital terminus). Most orbital elevator ideas I've read about explain the proposition the other way around: Orbitally based, with an interface/terminus on the Earth end.

    To build it, you'd just drop weighted carbon line (alright, a LOT of line :D) from a geosynchronous satellite. Once you've "tied it off" on Earth, you use autonomous elevator "cars" to slowly climb their payload up the "rope" to orbit. No need to worry about foundations, earthquakes, or any of that nonsense.

    401340[/snapback]

    That's what I'm saying, in fact, the only space elevator model I've ever saw eas satellite based, but when the carbon tube reaches earth it will need a foundation, because if not, what would prevent it from collapsing due to gravity, winds and stuff?

    You could make an extremely wide tube, so all forces are sustained by itself but that would require an excessive amount of resources (hence, rocketing rules!xD)

    Changing subjects, what other stuff about capacitors is there? Recently I had to do a small job for college about them and came to the conclusion that to reach the capacity of 1F with a plain parallel face kind of capacitor (the faces are 5cm apart from each other), the faces will need an area of 5467 square kilometers (!!!) because:

    C = K*S*Eo/d

    assuming that it's in the void (k=1)

    C = S*Eo/d

    1F*0.05m/[8.854 × 10^-12(F/m)] = s

    s= 5.467x10^9 m^2

    s= 5.467*10^3 Km^2

    The same capacitance could be reached with 10000 capacitors (100microfarads each) in parallel and would fit in a 28 sqare meters surface (approx)

    Is there a way to concentrate energy @ ultra-high levels? (1F in 28sqm it's still too much :p)

    401344[/snapback]

    Be hard to say in theory. Nasa has to try a test run of running a cheap spool of cord from the shuttle in orbit and see what happens.

  10. its going to be a pain to paint it well enough that its sealed from the elements f ever taken outside. just transforming it looks to me will chip some paint off if he ever paints it.

  11. Er, Sony announced the launch date. November 17th for N. America, this year.

    401154[/snapback]

    I don't belive it will be release this year seeing most launch games won't be ready till next year.

    be like buying a car but there will be no gas to buy till later.

  12. Add Captian N the Game master and his dog duke as one unlockable chars.

    OH YEAH!

    Has the hero of dragon slayer (cant remember the game, 2d platform think you slay the dragon) been in ssb?

    401049[/snapback]

    Given as of yet they haven't released a game with non-Nintendo characters... no.

    401089[/snapback]

    Got the name wrong, I remember playing it on nes just can't remember the name.

    Also would like to see the main char from the Guardian legend in ssb.

  13. The clonetroopers did a bang up job on the jedi. :p

    Jet packs are the weakness of the Fetts.  They rely on them too much, so they get screwed when their packs get screwed.  Heh time to cross Star Wars and Metal Gear using the Fetts.  Jango Fett is Big Boss, Boba Fett is Liquid Fett Ocelot (he can bounce his shots around man!), and ...  Where's Solid Fett?  Oh in a box! :lol:

    400719[/snapback]

    heh those were fake jedi :p

    so would metal gear = death star?

  14. Which way to the gym, Boba Meat?  :ph34r:

    I also love the .357 revolver with the three paper towel rolls on it all held together with two big rubber bands.

    400664[/snapback]

    Its to redirect the muzzle flash and dampen the sound so it sounds and looks like a laser blaster. :lol:

    How you aim it I never know but It never matter. Bobba fett and his storm trooper clones couldn't hit a planet if they tried.

  15. Could definately see them bringing back Punch Out for the Wii.

    398813[/snapback]

    I'd flat out LOVE to see a Punch-Out game which used the motion-sensing capabilities of the Wiimote.

    Come to think of it, I am also praying that some very smart person at Sega has thought "Hey... how about a new Samba de Amigo?" :D

    398875[/snapback]

    That brings back dissapointing memmories of Punch Ouch and the Power Glove

    398898[/snapback]

    Except THIS time the game would actually SUPPORT the controller, instead of the controller emulating an 8-way, 4-button gamepad.

    I was trying to figure out what you guys were talking about, but then I saw the news that Solid Snake will be in the Wii Super Smash Brothers games...

    Hell has indeed froze over... :o

    398684[/snapback]

    I wouldn't say that. Apparently, Kojima has wanted Snake in Smash Bros for a long time now and had asked too late for him to be included in Melee. So he got his wish for this next game. Now we need Mega Man and a Belmont (I'm sure Team Sonic is there).

    398955[/snapback]

    With Pit already in if you add those two and a giant Gameboy we could have "Captain N: The Game Master Melee" :p

    399023[/snapback]

    Not the GameBoy. Even as a kid, I thought the entire series went downhill with GameBoy's addition to the team.

    But redesign Zero Samus to look more like Lana, and add in King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard, and Dr. Wily, and you have the makings of a decent licensing nightmare of amusement.

    399029[/snapback]

    For the final nail in the coffin replace the old nintendo controller with the one with the nintendo 64 and watch the sexual jokes fly.
