mixtecRE: Anti terror war-Isrealis style.
What it comes down to is that arab countrys dont want to lose their F-16s. The only country not hamstrung with US planes is syria, and they cant mess with isreal alone. If egypt had all mig-29a, su-27s, you might find them more able to start little border skirmishes.

I think Dimebag Darrel is really good, and that Pantera overall plays more hardcore metal than Metallica. His drawback I think is that he uses solidstate amps instead of tubes which though giving him a sharp, biting treble sound, is weak and brittle on the bass side which is really bad for hid chord intensive sound. Pantera last couple of albums though still intense are lacking melodically.Garry Moore is an example of someone who improves with age, his blues/rock albums are great. Some other guys who are good but unknown are Tony MacAlpine, I honestly consider him to be an equal to Satriani, not like all the Satriani wannabes like Steve Vai/Gary Hoi/Eric Johnson. Check out his album “freedom to fly”. Jason Becker was good but he died just as his career was taking off. He had a group called Cacaphony with Marty Freidman of Megadeth. The first album was a ripper, the second was disapointing and even copied guitare lines off the first album.

mixtecRE: metric systems shortfall
Good point Garry. The problem with my metric foot being 1/3 of a meter is that you cant use it with centimeters without going back to uneven conversions. This wouldnt be a problem with metric gallons because liters would be .25 which factors evenly into 10. So in woodworking type situations I think your 3 decimeter idea would be better.
I forgot to mention, Vortex is right, horsepower is more than a static force because it uses time. Its weight moved a certain distance per amount of time.

mixtecRE: Kev
Phantom- So really what is your stance on Iraq? I agree that Iraq is a dangerous country, but thats almost past tense considering theyve been under cripling sancions for over 10 years now. So you say if we kill Hussein that will solve things? If you think the US can torture the Iraqis to submission because they dont allow inspections? In my opinion there fed up with years of endless inspections and the Iraqi people would rather starve than be treated like children, thats their culture. I think this al qaeda terrorist oranisation is a bunch of hollywood nonsense and believe that the 9-11 terrorists are citizens of or simpathetic to the rogue nations held under sancions. America I believe is using this al qaeda ruse to wash over the fact that the US is an oppressor in the middle east.

Great Pics. Could I trouble you to ID those tanks, I dont reconginize most of them.

mixtecRE: metric systems shortfall
>>>Yes Im proposing that a few metric equivelants of the Imperial system be added to the metric system, I listed 5 additions to the metric system and 5 alternatives of nomanclature for those used to the names in the Imperial system.
So when you say
metric foot= 1/3 meter
do you want the metric system to change to accomodate the metric foot or do you want the imperial foot to change to accomodate the metric system. Because what you advocate would for sure mean that one of the systems would have to change to accomodate the other, or are you proposing a new set of measurements to be used in place of the current imperial system?!!?
The more I explain this, the more I think Im complicating a simple thing.
No, I dont want the metric system or imperial system to change. I just want to add 5 additional measures, sort of a mini add-on to the metric system to provide a middleground between metric and imperial systems. Having a metric foot will allow people who use the imperial system to use a measure that is very practical and is missing in the metric system. Since its directly convertable to metric by 1/3, their measures will be readily convertable to metric, and will allow them to make measures that people with the metric system can use. People who use the metric system might also find these measures practicle and use them also.
>>>As Puffadder pointed out feet are commonly used in european aviation and boating because metric measures just arent practical.
Feet is commonly used in aviation and sailing because of convention not because of ease of use. I find it hard to believe calculations conversions in ft/lb are easier than in SI.
I NEVER said they were easier to convert. The size of the foot itself makes it easier to estimate/visualize distances. And it produces numbers to work with that are rounder.
Hence in SI we have kph and not mach numbers to measure speed. one has to use a practical scale to measure what one wants. Certainly one would not use mm or inches to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon. It can be done but one always uses a practical unit.
Let me make it clear, Im not advocating its use when doing calculations. But I believe you will find that feet are easier to work with in everyday use, not in science/technology where in design use they are combined/converted constantly. Yards I think are too bulky and more difficult to visualize when estimating size of large objects (large as in a room or a flag pole). Maybe you who use metric are accustomed to using a yard size measure to measure a room and it doesnt bother you to refer to a room as 2.3 x 4.6 meters, I personally would like the option of feet measure in addition to meters/yards, and it wouldnt bother me if the size of the foot were slightly changed to make it directly convertable to metric.

mixtecRE: a stupid question but are
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-07-02 AT 01:26 AM (GMT)]The CASA Aviojet primary trainer/light attack a/c qualifys as a weapon. The aviojet could have been a formidable seller, but by trying to save some weight shortening the rear fuelage ahead of the tailsurfaces, they ended up with a very unaerodynamic jug-like looking fuselage. Having slight wing sweep similar to the hawk would have made it more marketable also. I think spain makes some pretty good semi-auto pistols too.
