If that's the case then it's just about the funniest use of tax dollars I've ever seen. Those guys have to stay sharp and do target practice anyway, so why not kill two birds with one stone? It's not like an "honest" taxpayer never goofed off at work before either, you know.

Those marines would probably have to shoot bullets non stop for generations to equal this pile of tax dollars going up in smoke:
When I saw this on Discovery channel the commentator said that a B2 Stealth Bomber is worth ~1.4 billion USD. Apparently some condensation caused a computer malfunction and the pilots had no control over the plane. Luckily for them the ejection seats still worked.

True, but I am against war in general - if nobody would learn how to do it, then nobody could be at the battlefield when they start ;-D
And about the 2nd video... wow, now thats what I call a bad working day ^^...
PS: This evening I bought a new mobile phone and so I am again reacheble on Skype during my working day!!! ;.-D
So far it seem to work great, I even can use my "skypeout" with this phone, what means that I can call for free on any fixed phone number in europe without paying a cent, while my phone even rings when someone give me a call on my home phone number.
And the best... I really payed a low price for the phone, too (it was a special offer from my provider) :-D

Unless by some strange miracle we all become enlightened peace-lovers (hippies), the reality of this world is that some form of self defense has always been a necessity; whether as an individual, a group, a nation, or a planet (if we ever get invaded by aliens). Even so, it makes me wonder if a hypothetical alien invasion would still be enough to stop some humans from wanting to fight wars with each other.
Well, better a hippie full of drugs then a soldier full of bullets in a war for some politicans that are just out for money... But as long as I can choose I don't want to be on any of these sides
However, better to talk about something else, because I just get very sad and angry when I turn the news on, I just can't stand it...
Ah, btw, do you really think I started to good in the tetris challange on mame addicts? I didn't wanted to be a jackass or something - but it was really my first go and what I didn't wrote there... I was even standing, because I actually just wanted to see with a short game if that screenshoot option works ^^...
Well, If you can confirm that you definitely played Tetris Plus 2, Endless Mode, on normal difficulty (which is default and starts at level 10), and not on easy, then yeah... your score was seriously brutal dude lol! If you can get a score like that on normal difficulty without really trying properly then maybe you don't know your own strength. I'll be fearful and amazed to see what you can do when you really go for it!
I haven't totally given up yet, although going by my own pitiful scores so far I don't like my chances... but you know, it sometimes happens that the first person to post their score ends up winning. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses.
Ok, after we met on TS I think we know now where the problem was - but now I would like to reach the same scrore while starting from lvl. 10 - hehehe ;-D
I really like that "high score" idea, its quite entertaining...
I already saw this some weeks or months ago, but now I decided to post it here. You probably have heard about the trouble between Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre etc., anyways, Charlie made some interviews, and some "musicians" sampled parts of it and made a track out of it. To me it's pretty nice sampling- & editing-work, and funny as well...:
