    What happened to LCVG?

    I'm doing well and yes, I do spend a lot of time at LCVG. Thanks for asking! For those looking to get their fix, Joey (CaptDS9E) was kind enough to set up a temporary home. PM him for info.

    X-Box 2 will win next console battle

    Really? Do you have any data to support this? I imagine that there are colorable arguments out there for Xbox 2 winning the next generation of console wars. You just didn't make any.

    Vote for best Xbox live gamer tag.

    I won't vote -- it looks like two of my creations are in the running (Painkilller and Carlucci). Nice tags all around, though. -j

    Goodbye Comanche, we hardly knew you..

    You don't have to. Nevertheless, given problems with ATO turn-around and communication, it's right in line with Coalition experience in Desert Storm. -j

    Goodbye Comanche, we hardly knew you..

    They didn't. One of the results of the infamous state of the ATO at the time. They contacted control asking for information and whether they should prosecute the targets. And as for remembering the controls, david, I couldn't begin to understand why I continue remember worthless information...

    Goodbye Comanche, we hardly knew you..

    Ask Saddam? Dunno about that. But you can ask the British Navy about the two F-117's they tracked going inbound to Iraq. With old fire control radar. You'll find further documentation of this event in Norman Friedman's Desert Victory. Saddam was using a centralized air defense network that...

    Goodbye Comanche, we hardly knew you..

    Ask around and you will find interesting problems with claims made by proponents of stealth technology -- sadly the problems seem to boil down to it doesn't work, might never work, and has yet to be validated as a strategy. As for the procurement process, philosphy behind it, and the programs...

    Goodbye Comanche, we hardly knew you..

    Didn't they call the Comanche by its program name "LHX" (light helicopter, experimental) in Gunship 2000? I seem to remember an Osprey in there as well (and you had to hit the "V" button, IIRC, to set the rotors). I think the program cancellation is terrible news for the people and areas that...

    How do I enable the XBOX Communicator for ESPN Football?

    It should be automatic. Plug everything in, make sure mute is not on (the widget's LED should be green) and turn the thumb wheel all the way up to make sure it's loud enough to hear.

    Popup Stopper stopped stopping popups

    I used Mozilla, used to recommend it for its tabbed browsing and pop-up killer features. I recommend MozillaFirebird now, since it is "lighter" and loads faster. Either is a real step up from IE, though. -j

    XBOX multiplayer games I can play with my kid?

    And don't forget the split-screen ability of Project Gotham 2 and MotoGP (including the MotoGP demo). There's a variant game some people invented for PGR2 that you and your son might enjoy. It's played between teams of two. One team member takes a Cooper Mini, the other takes an Ultimate...

    Live In 9!!!!!!!!

    And you can busy yourself with making a list of possible gamertags, ranked in order of preference. It could save some time lip-biting and staring at the ceiling if your first couple ideas are already taken. Naturally, I recommend something monkey-themed. ;) -j

    Need some serious mp3 player help

    Isn't the price difference only $50? I know that money is money, but 10 extra gigs for $50 seems worth it. J & R (jandr.com)will give you $20 off, by the way (and no sales tax in for me). -j

    Mp3 player question

    I should be receiving the iRiver iHP-120 early next week. I wanted built-in FM, recording, optical in and out, and a backlit LCD remote. I like iPods, but I can't get all that in an iPod. I intend to experiment with analog versus digital outputs as soon as I get it (and I charge it). With...

    Just got an Xbox - Where is the cool stuff?

    That's the same reason why I got the extra AC cord. I leave the extra one and the pack-in A/V connector in the Xbox travel bag. less to mess with. I have the backpack, but I understand that the Gpak (sp?) is a really nice option because you don't have to take your Xbox out of it to use it. -j

    Just got an Xbox - Where is the cool stuff?

    Jeff (Cooper): The AC cord is a standard appliance cord. I picked one up somewhere (Radio Shack or Lowes or Home Depot) and it works fine. -j

    *** Official MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD Discussion Thread

    Beg to differ, but Maturin is an officer -- he has a surgeon's warrant -- you may remember Admiral Keith making out the warrant himself and how happy Killick is on those occasions when he can lay out the surgeon's uniform (as laid down by the Sick and Hurt Board). This is also why he is...

    What Charles said. Throughout the novels they track down (sometimes obscure) sheet music for their musical evenings together. In the Ionian Mission, they play the following JS Bach pieces: + Double sonata in D minor [IOM:48] by "Old Bach" + Passion according to St. Mark [IOM:48] +...

    *** Official MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD Discussion Thread

    Guns were fired by either flintlock or slow match (kind of a smouldering wick). Flint lock was the newer way, and, in the novels, Aubrey has a preference for slow match to avoid the misfires apparently associated with flintlock firing mechanisms. IIRC, in one novel he recommends flintlocks with...
