I carn't think of any animal rights murders. However, recently there has been atleast one case of a militant animal rights group, co-opting the help of members of local government. Have a look. A vehicle registration official who gave drivers' addresses to animal rights activists has been jailed for...

That even with all the appropriate medical records at hand, there is no promise of you not being snuffed by good old fashioned human stupidity on the part of the doctors treating you.

Like Nitram said, its just kind of a tradition. I don't think the instructors at Sandhurst will go any harder on him than they do on any other cadet. But i'm pretty sure he won't be getting any cushy treatment, he's training to be a professional soldier after all.

Finally, the 28DL "zombies" are basically a more lethal form of Rabies infected human (Rage as it's known in the film, is actually another name for Rabies). Rabies produces the same effects since the virus targets the brain through the bloodstream and manipulates the brain to work with it...

I'd suggest reading all the books in order, if your going to read them at all. These books are not my favourite examples of SW's EU, to say the least. For me Solo command had to be the worst one. It seemed to take everything bad about the Stackpole X-wing books (you know, a single X-wing squadron wi...

so what would the KE be on a rod released from an ICBM

So is this on the internet or what then? any chance of you finding the article in question if it is?

the aim is to hit targets, silos, bunkers, armour?, buildings. surely a 5m rod going mach 20 will destroy it Such targets can already be destroyed with conventional weapons. If you insist on using an ICBM, then use it with conventional thermo-nukes. Earth penetrating Nuclear weapons are already bei...

Im sure many of you are aware of the US plan to mount a network of satelites in orbit and use them to drop 5m DU rods that will vape anything they hit. Of course this would be very expensive, however as an alternative would it be possible to use an ICBM to deploy instead of MIRV's a bunch of DU rod...

When you load the mag with bullets they are not perfectly oriented inside the mag. taping the mag orients the bullets inside the mag and reduces the possibility for jamming. Atleast that's why I learnt to tap the mag against a rock or sumthing but then again I did use a K-Pist 45b 36 rounds of 9mm ...

Dare I ask, exactly what does Prozac propose to do after he stuns every defender on a planet? its all here...... Step 1, stun everything, transport civilians somewhere where they aren't going to get blown up. Step 2, blow up anything that inhibits transporters, repeat step 1. Step 3, then send men ...

Not necessarily mass stun, but in 'A Matter of Time' we see the Enterprise is capable of making pinpoint strikes and some rather large craters on the planets surface. Easily enough to melt a bunker, or transport inhibitor, or group of enemies, from orbit. So whats your point.?I'm not talking about ...

Prozac the Robert, you are saying the Fed's have no need for a ground army as they will always be able to mass-stun any opposing ground force from orbit yes? I cannot think of a single episode of Trek were this tactic is mentioned, used or even alluded to ( but if you can feel free to mention it). I...

An Ex-royal navy friend of mine tells me they where just coastal patrol boats.

Imo pistols and mp40's will be useless vc jaffa weapons What makes you think that?, We have seen Jaffa footsloggers being positively murdered by SG teams armed with a variety of Firearms (M4's , FN p90's, Beretta 9mm pistols).

d'oh!

Has anyone else wondered about Snakes age in this game? I had him down as being in his mid to late thirties by the time of MGS2.

It would appear so.

Wasn't Iron Eagle III the movie where a P-51 pilot improvised chaff by throwing out pieces of aluminium foil out of his cockpit by hand? :) Iron Eagle III?, I'm not too certain but didnn't that film involve a number of world war 2 planes shooting down jet-powered fighters? I'm having trouble rememb...

lol oh my god.... Galavatron, that is too good....

And I agree with maddox 100% about those films.

What the height of the hangar bay itself? Is there sufficient clearance for a fighter at the back of the bay to use it repulsors to clear all the other parked birds and launch?. If not, imagine if the ship closest to the exit to the hangar bay could move, all the others would be trapped.

I notice the rank insignia has been moved around to the front, alot like the standard issue British stuff.

ah, I see.

Wouldn't you need an ejection port on a rifle firing caseless ammo to clear dud rounds or other missfires and blockages? It would kinda suck to have to disasemble your rifle instead of just pulling the cocking handle. IIRC the G11 does have an opening in the underside of the rifle, beneath the rota...
