    Supersonic @ an Airshow...

    They are not allowed to go supersonic in US airspace. There are 3 or 4 supersonic places, one being in New Mexico where they train for that. My dad hears the shock waves. At Seafair though, they will go RIGHT to the point of supersonic as the slow Blue Angel comes by, the fast one sneaks in...

    Islamic Hackers? Arctic Light, Tucker, anyone?

    I can't speak a lot about it due to my job... I can say this, yes, there is a cyber war going on right now. The hack you posted was a DNS poison attack, one of the more mild of the attacks going on right now. There is plenty of work in Information Assurance though, dry as it is 95% of the...

    New Navy ship is Linuxx based

    Yep, I laughed because I saw a news article on a ship that had to reboot at sea, which is a bad thing. They are running a more stable version now of course and it's probably a special made Kernel just for them.

    New Navy ship is Linuxx based

    They have been for quite some time actually, I recall hearing about having to reboot ships LOL, bluie screen ofdeath on sea trials back in the early 2000's. Funny thing, most spacecraft run BSD Linux/Unix - The Mars pathfinder, first rover on Mars, carried an 8088 Intel processor running BSD...

    Listed my K98

    Basra of course you get dibbs on getting the stock back if you want it......I didn't have the heart to tear apart the Czech MFG'd K98, since it has history and it's not German.

    Career change? Any CBP people here?

    Career change? Any CBP people here? Amen to that. I'm hoping to get my aerial photography business moving along once the economy picks up and people actually start selling and buying houses. Right now everybody thinks my little RC Quadra copter should give them free photos. $3000 invested in...

    Career change? Any CBP people here?

    I got laid off this time last year and in a panic (Gov wasn't hiring either) I put my hobby to use doing aerial photography, established the business, waiting on FAA permit - of which none have been issued. That said as soon as customers started ringing my phone the Gov contractor hired me...

    Gen Giap died

    So if you served in Vietnam I am not allowed to speak, and if I served in Panama you are not allowed to speak? I've studied a lot with the Vietnam war and I have the *UTMOST* respect for Vietnam Veterans. But I also know that the NVA had generals that had contacted LRRP teams forty/fifty...

    .308 loads for 1:12 twist 26" bbl

    My personal, and fairly extensive experience with this barrel and twist rate says a 168 will rule out to 600 yards. I've actually shot my 165GMK's at 550 and outperformed my 175 SMK's. But for the long range, with a 175, tried and true all day long: Winchester (Black Hills re-use as well...
