Germany's RTL pulls free-to-air channels off terrestrial TV

Zmodem

and also lets you fastward and rewind live tv

Zmodem

buy a decent tv, and put a 32gb + mem stick in the USB, and you can record tv programs, by pressing the record button on the remote or scheduling

British armed forces get first new pistol since World War II

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem.

9mm started being used in the police force because they dont kill most people in foot chases etc like in the america, the american police stopped using the colt 45 in the 70s or 80s for that reason

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem.

you have to hit the heart to kill someone with a 9mm, any where else most people can survive with no serious injury,. you have to be a looser who sits on their ass alday to die from a 9mm to your stomach, leg, arm,.

if you shoot someone with the leg, arm, stomach with a desert eagle, you leg and arm would probaly fall off, and you stomach would never be used again, if you survived

Re: @Zmodem.

the actual kill range of a shotgun is 12 yards, the pellets might go futher and kill a weak person, the garenteed kill of a shotgun for 99% of the human race is 12 yards

real combat is nothing like a bunch of nerds in your local target range on a saturday

most people will never use their sidearm, except in close combat tip toeing around buildings, a 9mm wont kill most people, a desert eagle will probaly kill in 1 shot, you have less ammo, but you only need the 1 shot, and not half a clip of a 9mm

if you have targets 100 yards away, you are probaly better off practicing with a grenade launch with angles and wind like a sniper

most assault rifles do bursts of 6, if you dont have a target and its not cover fire, you dont fire

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

either way, if you have been in the army a few years and not just left school, you wouldnt notice a bag of sugar hanging under your arm after a week or so, and have a desert eagle as your side arm, and still have your full assault rifle

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

if im in london, i just go give them a slap

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

its still over 3.4 kg, and the users only main weapon, and cannot carry an a assault rifle of any kind, a shotgun case is still bigger then any bullet and kill range is still only 12 yards

Zmodem

Re: You honestly think

you should watch more tv, 9mm dont kill people and why the police use them, its why american troops like the colt 45, because it kills in 1 shot

sidearms probaly never get used by the everyday soldier so there is no real point having them outside of trench warfare or jungles

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem. going for a record?

@Zmodem. going for a record?

a kil shot kills in 1, a sidearm is for close combat, nothing much else, a eagle has a better range then a 12 yard shotgun

Just offhand, how many rounds fired do you think it takes an army unit to kill/incapacitate an enemy in combat, on average?

5. unless your american with 6000 dead troops.

Re: @Zmodem

"So when and where did you serve in Iraq or Afghanistan? How many tours did you do?"

im no army man, the desert eagle was made in the 90s, when shotguns weight 8kg, a reinvented desert eagle with todays metals, would server more use with 3 people having them with 10 clips each, then 1 person with a shotgun

Zmodem

Re: "2kg is nothing"

i do kung fu with 40kg, 60kg is a boring benchpress half hour

Zmodem

Re: Desert Eagles ....

you dont care for stances, if you kick open a door, aim and shoot

Zmodem

its only chrome in the movies, 2kg is nothing, if you dont need 5kg in ammo, only the 1kg and a maximum of 10 clips for a maybe 4 days roll

every gun jams

Zmodem

the pistol would`nt jam if you never used it, village platoons, even in afgan and iraq, the shotgun goes in first, after the village has been cleared, the shotgun serves no use and nor does the person who is carrying it

the desert eagle is a sidearm, leaving all to carry a proper gun when a single kill shot is not needed

Zmodem

but the person with the shotgun just gets to sit their and do nothing when your pinned down and targets 500 yards away

Zmodem

if you have to buy your own boots and hats, you might as well go all out and buy your own sidearm, from a irish smuggler

you have a smaller clip with the desert eagle, buy every shot is a kill shot, it might not be much use as a general sidearm for you normal soldier, the army should still have them to give to special OPs, they are better then carrying a shotgun in 2 hands

Zmodem

if your tip toeing around a building, you dont just want to give someone a limp, and have to waste half the magazine to kill them so you can move on

Zmodem

i know, buy pistols are made for close combat situations, if that happens, you do it well with a av`eeet u fux

Zmodem

buy your own desert eagle and pop heads like a melon

A valid use for Windows 8?

Re: My parents...

windows 8 is designed for the everyday non computer head user, you cannot use it for your everyday office work and get alot of work done, they are 2 different markets, MS always makes the mistake of home and ultimate/enterprise versions being exactly the same

Zmodem

why dont they just jump on the bandwagon and make a app that does video calls and charge the 99cents, explaining what is the matter in text in detail question after question and then pissing around taking a picture and making a picture message would take 2 hours while you mate has bled to death in the first 5 mins

AMD finishes its 'Piledriver' Opteron server chip rollout

Re: There is no gain with PCIe 3.0

there is everything to level, 90% of desktop benchmark score are made of of read/write from RAM and HDD

ddr3 ram is :

1333mhz = 8.5 - 10 GB/s

1866mhz = roughly 29.8GB/s

for geforce cards pci-e 3.0 allow keplar GPU, pci-e 2.0 is fermi, pci-e 3.0 doubles the bandwidth, so sli or crossfire setups will be able todo alot more by middle of next year, its not just gamers that use top end graphic card setups

FX onboard memory controller is upto 1866mhz ram, phomem II is 1333mhz

etc etc etc, i7 bridge speed has always been in use as full, AMD chipsets never have, and never will be

Zmodem

there is in gt -> gtx cards if you want sli, or use cruddy amd cards and crossfire, and have upto 1866mhz ram the FX core can handle, while all previous ram only can handle 1333mhz

there might not be much different comparing intel chips, pcie 3 would level the benchmark abit better with Fx vs i7

Zmodem

building a new amd desktop is a complete waste of time, stick to the 970 chipset and put a fx 8 core in, they forgot to add pcie 3.0 to all newer chipsets and its not in 1070 specs, you cant do all the computer science with cuda, or play games with hd textures and so on

Re: $1.5bn?

I dont need to keep telling myself, the human body has been breathing plant smoke for a million years, research will always blame smoking instead of man made pollution with unnateral chemicals in

Zmodem

Re: $1.5bn?

life is a bore without smoking, most cancer is caused by car pollution, passive smoking gets the blame, while most smokers dont get cancer because the body and lungs are used to extra chemicals and fumes

Re: Yes, but...

the chances of finding anything new every 10 yards is slim, it should stop every 100 yards atleast

Re: Congratulations Zmodem

why, the shuttle heat shield was graphite, its man made and does what its made for, any metal of today would just be passed through with abit of iron debris without 4 inches of lead behind the hull, add a 100 tons of lead and 300 tons of fuel, and its impossible for any normal kind of space travel with todays technology

add a 6mw perpetual generator and a toughened graphite bass hull, and its possible to make a shuttle that can atleast goto the moon and back whenever you like, and only take a few months to get to mars

a rigid toughened graphite hull would`nt last too long without some reinforcement, and to stop more impact damage, the surface needs to flex a little

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

there are 100s of different graphites each with there own properties and conductivity, you can smash your tennis racket onto the concrete floor as hard as you can and not make a scratch, your tennis racket is just cheap commercial toughened graphite, its not hard to shoot with iron balls for a few months in a lab

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

should use carbon fibre reinforced with titanium mesh to stop it flexing to much, then a layer of aerogel, and then toughened graphite for the outlayer you can fix with ease with polymer out the tube, and is padded with the aerogel, before an impact reaches the carbon layer, and all smaller then half a inch thick hull materal

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

insulation means nothing, if there is metal contact to the hull, most probes that dissappear and never make it to mars are usually the ones that hang a sling shot around the moon, the suns radiation wraps around the planets magnetic field so it does`nt matter that much to satalites in orbit

Zmodem

Re: @Zmodem

man thumbs down obviously dont watch the movies and the liquid nitrogen effect and the shock watch that make terminators and guns all explode, there no difference to a metal hull and chasis weilded together
