  1. *Salute*

    I think it was because in the Pacific, alot of important information was passed along the radio waves since field phones didn't work as well due to the weather/jungle, whereas in ETO, field phones were used for the HQ to HQ orders. That's my 2 cents worth, at least. (also because even in the pacific, the number of people were stretched thin).

    And because the war in the East was just about over at the time.

    Ahh good point. I guess it was just about over. I had never thought of that. They would have been useful tho early on...

  2. He was a true American and all Allied hero. RIP. If you have not watched Wind talkers it is based of these guys and is a good WW2 movie. Does anyone know why they didn't also do code against the Germans? Probably would have been just as effective.

  3. I am optimistic, I like what J.J. Abrams has done for Star Trek, hopefully he can remain true to the old movies and not have another Jar Jar Binks debocle.

    JJ Abrams is a sci fi god...Remember Lost and Fringe, 2 great shows...Disney is a money hungry rotten to the core corporation. What else could we expect from them? I took my daughter to Disney land and had a terrible time. It was hell on earth. She had the time of her life. What can we do? Nothing. They are running a business, and a very sophisticated and lucrative one at that. $9 disney beer should be expected right? LOL I dont believe that crap. They have gotten so greedy and rotten i say fuck them! Yet I still love Alladin, and I like their fucking beer. I guess its a conundrum :) ....

    What a piece of sensationalist bullshit. Instead of laying out a possible scenario, they just say "HEY, LOOK THIS COULD'VE HAPPENED!" Without anything to back it up. Oh, Mr. John Chuckman, an ex-oil CEO thinks it could've happened? Well, my neighbor the canary salesman says the post office is going to do a lot better next year. It's like saying any other country in the world shot it down, it's like saying aliens came down and zapped it, it's like saying a T-fucking-Rex materialized on a cloud and chomped it apart. There's absolutely nothing to this and I hate that it has any attention at all. This is sub-CNN coverage, and that's saying something.

    Epic GIF...But yeah that theory is a pile of shit....

  5. Hey how about a realism tonight? Say 4:45 pm pst, 7:45 est? We had a great time last night, and i figured rather than wait 20mins to get enough people lets just plan on those times? Obviously I dont have the authority to start one so if Wells or Candy or someone is ok with this can we try? Sound off below if interested.

  6. This sounds like an ISP problem. 57mb/s is screaming fast, so if its rubber banding so bad it sounds like the lines are being overused by your ISP. (ie) Theres too much bandwidth being used locally on the main lines. The fact this happens at night during peak hrs isnt surprising. Call them again and again until they fix this issue, or stop paying for 50+ mbs internet. The fact they have screwed up will allow you to bail on a contract. Also them just changing the connectors is an insult.
