  1. Any attempt to add a signature throws: [#10211] You may only use up to lines of text in your signature. I poked around (sts) the IPS peer to peer support forum, but didn't find this exact error. There was a similar error talked about there for images in the signature block that went back to a simple =0 or =1 or =-1 in a config file for like allowimages or something.... I've seen other people with signature blocks.... so I imagine it can't be a board wide issue unless they had their signatures in before an update and the update isn't allowing any changes. Anybody want to try changing their signature in the name of science?
  2. Site crashed due to traffic. U
  3. http://www.consoleshop.com/product.php?productid=20801 There's tons of other similar products out there. Hope that can help.
  4. In the process of reading the book now. So far it's great.
  5. another good one for google, and related to another thread (I can't remember which one) the google calculator knows the answer to life, the universe, and everything else. Don't believe me.... just google it (sts) On a side note, I met a hottie french chic in a class the other day.....
  6. Verizon has the HTC Touch Pro, similar to the Fuze.... A chic I know has the XV6900, and as gay as it may look, it does kind of fit the specs you requested.
  7. well, there's all kinds of options, but they are all going to be expensive because they're not "on-contract" pricing. The reason stores can sell the phones for so cheap is because the phone company knows they get to the money back out of you for the next two years, so the phone company sends a kickback to the store (I used to get some pretty nice kickback checks). Some of the options include: Newegg Amazon Wirefly but again, you're paying full price basically. Beyond that, you're gonna want something unlocked anyways, so that you can use it over there without getting sand for lube when they're boning the money out of you.
  8. I'm assuming you're going for new rather than used?
  9. I figured I would get some smack talk for hating on the iphone. It's just too simple for me. I know that sounds bass ackwards, but I've used windows mobile since early 06, and I just prefer the flexibility. The big deal with Windows Mobile is that you have to be smarter than your phone. For that reason, a ton of people choose iphones. I'm not saying they're dumb. A lot of people just don't have the time to dig into the windows mobile software to really use it to its full potential.
  10. When I read your post I thought you were playing repeat from Super Troopers..... Anyways, I used to work for Cingular (back before and immediately after they purchased ATT Wireless), and although it would probably work, it is kind of a jacked up way to do things. I would say you are better off jumping on ebay and buying a "jailbroken" ( terms from apple homos) phone. Then of course, while I'm making suggestions, I would suggest not even buying an iphone anyway (just personal opinion, I think they are gay). Edited for too many rainbows, made my post look bad.
  11. Have you decided yet? I mean, it could open new doors for her! Reference "Zack and Miri make a porno" (which, btw, is a freakin funny movie)
  12. They have features besides mobile porn??? I personally still use the ATT Tilt, but I'm about to switch to the Fuze.
  13. Did anybody watch "The Unit" on CBS last night? Some of it seems pretty far fetched, but last night they had a senator or somebody with them on a mission and they kept calling him a "warrior" in a patronizing tone. I couldn't help but think of this thread. If you haven't seen it, you will probably get a laugh.
  14. Hell, I don't know anything about it.
  15. What about Kwanzaa??? I feel left out.... (yeah, so what if I'm white)
  16. I know absolutely nothing about rotorcraft, so it wasn't so much something I can remember, but more something I just learned. What a crock. Being on the outside, I never knew the difference. I actually figured the CV-22 was finally pulling through. So out of curiousity then, is it capable of kinda shooting a final approach as if it was landing in airplane mode but then transitioning into heli mode (or whatever it's actually called) just above the landing zone? Therefore using the forward velocity for lift across the wings and kind of snapping into a hover? I guess that's how I just picture it operating in my mind, without having really seen it before.
  17. @Jango220: Thanks for the heads up. @100LL: I am opening another Bud Light in .69 seconds. And the tail no was the one that ends in 69Q, if you're interested in trying to check it out sometime, definitely worth the cost. XM is still good too.
  18. My thought process is the same. That's why I didn't exactly understand the statement. If it can land like a rotorcraft, why can't it land @ 9k MSL?
  19. Isn't that the guy who tried to hook up under 21 military personnel to be able to drink legally?
  20. Very cool. I flew a 172 with a G-1000 and fully integrated AP the other day, and it shot the entire ILS down to mins @ KJAX (minus power adjustments, which I had to do). Similar idea with the C17's flight director? With the G-1000, you just put the wind vector line on the GPS line, and you're good to go. For xwinds landings, though, you have to figure it out on your own. On a seperate note, and pretty much a redonkulous thread hijack, what are the chances of grabbing a space-a to germany on a chs c-17 (as an ROTC cadet)? My lil sis lives over there so I have a free place to crash after I get blitzed and fool around with some hot german bitches. And I got family in chs too, so I can park my car for the summer. Also, I'm gonna throw in a STS for good measure, considering all the use of the "backside approach" (which happens to be one of my favorite)
  21. Yeah, it was really interesting to read on here that they run their approaches on the back side. I did a few back side approaches in the 172 for super short landings. As for the 17, I'm really curious to hear more (within reason) about its capes and more on the whole back side approaches deal. Does that make precision (ILS,MLS,etc) approaches much more difficult? On a side note, my father was a loadmaster on the Barney, and flying one is kinda my second dream job (right behind any fighter platform, lol)
  22. They're talking about the power curve. On the front side, power =airspeed, and pitch=altitude. On the back side, power=altitude, and pitch=airspeed. Kinda simply speaking though. There's much more to it.... I know there was a site that had some good detail on it somewhere. Basically a power on stall is flirting with the back side of the power curve, and the manuever called "slow flight" is hanging out on the back side of the curve. In the 172 we often would slow flight on really windy days and nearly get a negative ground speed. Slow enough to piss off the glass fo sho. edit for proppa grammaz
  23. I'm confused? Can't land at 9000' what? Maybe I missed something... I don't know anything about the CV-22, but that statement doesn't make any sense. Like it can't land at 9000' MSL due to air/performance issues, worse than the cessna 172? Or like it can't land within 9000' of runway?
