SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	Quote: AC-130 Targeting Video. From other sources (don't remember where I read it), this is a night attack in Afghanistan. In this targeting video the AC-130 crew observes people planting what they believe is a road-side bomb in Iraq. Also seems to be at night using IR imaging. The moral of the story seems to be that you should not move after you somehow manage to narrowly avoid being blown to bits. Those two links are the same event. One mentions the AC-130 as a helicopter... perhaps this is from Apache instead? _________________________ Brad B.

TigerJimmy old hand Registered: 15/02/2002 Posts: 1049	The links go to different movies for me. It's possible that the second one isn't an AC-130, I don't know. The AC-130 is not a helicopter, so it is contradictory.

SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	Quote: The links go to different movies for me. Bad clicking on my part. Sorry. I just saw some AH-64 (Apache) footage and it's quite different. Both of your links are likely AC-130s. Having that many crew involved on the radio is good indicator too. I was just amazed at how steady the camera is for a plane flying in a circle. However one link obviously shows a clrcling motion, the other does not.

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	Steve Ballmer is a business bigwig at Microsoft. He's been there since virtually the beginning. He seems to be the insane one. Anyway, the speech, if you can call it that, was made at one of those conferences that nobody goes to except the people for whom Microsoft is a religion. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

sein old hand Registered: 07/01/2005 Posts: 893 Loc: Sector ZZ9pZa	He is the Microsoft CEO. According to the Wikipedia article linked to above: Quote: Steve Ballmer has been known to be very passionate in expressing his enthusiasm. Once, his vocal cords required surgery after he screamed "Windows, Windows, Windows" continuously at a meeting in Japan in 1991. And people say Linux users are weird!

hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	Phew, I suppose I've always got a "chicken factory" job out there for me if I don't make it in software. I hope he doesn't sing to those chickens, that would definitely be cruel and unusual punishment. EDIT: Apple's new commercials are up on their site. The "Mac" character is played by Justin Long (Dodgeball, Wating and TV's Ed). I have no idea who plays the "PC" character, but I wish Apple would have gone with Stephen Root (TV's NewsRadio, Dodgeball and dozens of other movie and TV appearances, including Office Space).

Few of them seemed to be travelling very fast; they just all of a sudden started careening wildly. The articulated bus was particularly odd. _________________________ Bitt Faulk
