i'll be there but, hopefully it doesn't take that long for me to catch up with you!

some of us can't wait to get to know the viso but, we'll all have to wait until l&b releases it.

You mean in the year two thousand and never. .jim that's the scientific spirit!! ...of course, that's what they said about the sound barrier among other things right? "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

when you're under canopy, the effect of having your altimeter in your helmet as opposed to your on your wrist or leg is negligible. the air pressure in the helmet is constantly equilibrated to the ambient air pressure so, no worries.

i'll get right on it! ...and i'll fire the 5 people i have working night and day to insult you wherever you post. it's not that i've singled you out...it's just my natural response to all the cool stuff you seem to post.

no...you don't get it, as usual. hippie is relating a story with the intent of passing on the moral to the rest of us who are not in a position of authority in his company. moral: don't be a coward. the coward of the story was telling their collective boss with the intent of getting hippie and co. in trouble/effecting change for their own benefit by being a pussy and not simply asking hippie and co. to tone it down. so, the moral of my post: the actions taken by hippie and coward are not the same, as you implied.

like the old saying goes: be careful what you wish for. the french are doing everything they can to ensure that they will continue to fall by the wayside as a world power. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

THE BORING KID IS BUTTERS! don't diss butters like that. yep...south park and family guy are my two favorite shows by far. i love politically incorrect humor. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

that's right dr.octagon! shame on you! now, quit being so damned naive and evil! ...and buy more ricola to help the swiss retain their sweet, sweet democracy. and for god's sake man...don't post any more "news" from cnn here. we all know that they are controlled by the govt. in conjunction with the zarknods of the draknoid system! those of you who believe that cnn is a business out to make money are simply naive!

yep...this has to be one of the most serious thread hijackings i've seen! it went from monkeys, aids, and references to anal sex to salvation in the course of 10 posts! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

i also use the tent tie down with the plastic ball on it and it works well. just remember to make sure that the rubber band will break if you need to cut the main away after you've stowed the slider (cut the band in half lengthwise or something similar).

that is all true. especially, the second part notes that if you ingest DU, the effects would be similar to non-DU. this is because your skin protects you from alpha radiation, which is how uranium initially decays into protactinium. the technical aspects of radiation apply here. the easiest way i can tell you that depleted uranium is far less harmful than uranium is that the dosage of DU is far below that of non-DU. right now, your body is being bombarded with radiation as is everything on the earth (radioactive elements aren't just the ones at the bottom of the periodic table. carbon-13 is radioactive, is present in everything that contains carbon, and is the basis for carbon dating. many, many elements have radioactive isotopes). if the concentration of radiation gets too high on a living organism, radiation poisoning sets in. you can do research on this topic to learn more, and there is alot to learn, but, it's very interesting (i think). read about alpha emmision and beta emmision. both are processes by which uranium decays (eventually) into lead-206. i didn't look up what the "deadly" dose of uranium-238 is to a human but, that info is out there. however, uranium-238 is not depleted uranium; depleted uranium is a mixture of uranium, protactinium, and lead which is far less radioactive than pure uranium. happy hunting and enjoy the reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_radiation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_rays "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

very true. osmium and iridium are actually the most dense, stable materials but, depleted uranium is far cheaper to isolate for other uses than either one of the first two and it's about twice as dense as lead. complete uranium decay yields lead but, that process takes a very long time. the half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years.

as a chemist: depleted uranium is used in shells because it is extremely dense and it does not have the radioactive characteristics of non-depleted uranium. the fact that it is dense enables it to penetrate heavy armor. more acurately, you can concentrate a relatively large amount of mass in a small round which gives you a shit load of momentum in a projectile of low surface area. it's like shooting a 20 lbs. bb at a sheet of paper. the term "depleted" means that the uranium atoms have undergone radioactive decay already. depleted uranium is safe to handle because there is no risk of harmful radiation. i think that the use of this material came about because scientists wondered what use there was in uranium rods that were spent in nuclear reactors. once they're "spent", you have depleted uranium and it's hella dense without the radioactive down side.

yep...i noticed after trent said as much in another thread. i haven't decided to cancel my order yet but, the alarm was something i was buying it for. not that it won't be an awesome digi alti but... "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

awesome...i love the whole one-sided, connect-the-dots research that they did to support their theory. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

how 'bout that...i feel the same way about you. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

i've served...i can't make anyone else do the same. i also think many people would benefit with some service in the armed forces but, that's a new topic. so, you're not going to admit that both sides spew garbage; just the righties do. ok, whatever. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

as if it were limited to the "ultra right". take the blinders off and admit that forum garbage comes from all sides. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

ok. i know that dealing what is dealt isn't the way to rid this forum of garbage but, sometimes my fingers are done typing before i realise that. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

your recommendations are duly ignored. btw...how can you possibly say that calling people chickenhawks is not a personal attack? it's a derogatory name designed to attack the person and not the argument. slight double standard don't ya think? "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329

I really wonder if you have the guts to insult me in person. I really doubt it. maybe we'll both find out someday. otherwise, if you can't eat what you dish, keep it to yourself. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
