Rest assured, it's a real simulation. I know that people with an ax to grind will insist otherwise for a lifetime, but that doesn't change the reality. Simulators have come a long way, and the mere fact that a simulator runs on a PC doesn't make it "unreal." Go to the MS homepage for FS and look at the top left corner of your screen. Unlike yourself, Microsoft Game Studios is under no illusion that their product is anything but a computer game. Since you do not fly, your judgement on the relative reality simulated by the game would seem to be suspect. I could claim that a nuclear reactor simulator game I recently played is an accurate simulation of an actual nuclear reactor. Of course, since I have never actually operated a nuclear reactor, I realize that such a statement would be just as full of crap as you are.

Gig 601Xl Builder writes: The amount of income left to an individual after taxes have been paid, available for spending and saving. What about food and shelter? I don't make this **** up Anthony. That is the economic definition. Feel free to Google it. You will find a few links that say things like food and shelter are not paid for out of disposable income but those few sites are wrong. Income - required payments = disposable income. Food and shelter are not required payments because you can't put a hard number on them. If you could someone that makes a billion dollars a year could be listed as zero disposable income. And while there are some governments that are trying to get the tax rate to where that statement would be true none that I know of have made it there yet. |

Tina writes: As a matter of interest Mensa members who are not doing well in the general population seem to exhibit that same ego characteristic: we, the general population, are at fault for not recognizing and rewarding their worth ... Almost all Mensa members are socially dysfunctional; that's why they join Mensa. Only a very tiny fraction of the people who qualify for Mensa actually join the organization (65 million people are eligible, but the organization has only about 70,000 members). They are self-selected for social maladjustment. Sounds like you would fit right in, if you could only qualify. |

Sure they do. Most pilots who kill themselves have a long history of incidents prior to the one that finally kills them. In fact, such a history is a pretty good indicator that a pilot will one day kill himself. You clueless twit. Let's see data, dip****. |

No thanks. Analysis at a distance is not something I do
professionally. You're welcome to scan the DSM and come up with your own conclusions. .. On May 13, 5:24 pm, "Maxwell" luv2^fly99@cox.^net wrote: "Tina" wrote in message ...

Feel free to take a whack at it. No foul, promise. I wasn't really expecting a professional analysis, just thought I would invite your speculation. Sounded like you might have something in mind. What is the DSM? |
