Killfiles redux by David Wallace
If your newsreader handles regular expressions (regex) in its killfile setup, set "if "newsgroup" contains" to: (+,){2,} That will kill off any articles crossposted to 3 groups or more. Then it's just a case of picking off the remaining couple of lunatics and life is back to normal. I just...

Further to the question of whether there are "decleration devices" that would enable a crippled aircraft to land safely, this evidently is breaking news: Parachute saves light plane's passengers VANCOUVER/ CKNW (AM980) -- Four people are alive today thanks to a relatively new parachute system for...

Missile skid turns? by Jim Doyle
Recently I've been reading about the UK BVRAAM project. One question really: Originally it had four mid-fuselage wings for manoeuvrability, now it has none. This seems a little odd, since it makes sense that the more agile missile will have a greater number of control surfaces. Since then I've...

German Scientists at Area 51 by Erich Adler

It's a free market by ArtKramr
Subject: Thought for Today A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market. A toy company can out-source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market. A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.

X-Plane Competition by Bill Clark
I saw a PBS special on the X-plane competition between Boeing and Lockheed for the Joint Task Force (JTF) fighter; the jet of the future. I think the whole thing was a total waste of money, and that by signing off on this competition the Pentagon has doomed America to a useless arsenal. Boeing's...
