  1. Why not the h70 ? only a 10-15 quid dearer but much better cooling.

    Bah Humbug

    INDIA!!!! The entire world would be in india if that happened.
  3. 100oC is the temps that you dont want it to go over, anything below 100oC is good, but, ideally ou dont want anything over 60 - 65, possibly 70oC. Once your cpu gets to 100, it will down clock speeds and throttle back performance to save it from dieing.
  4. As far as I am aware, both Chris Ryans and Andy McStab's versions were both full of fanciful bullshit for want of a better word. 200+ dead iraqis, known to be a bullshit figure pulled out of the air to make the patrol look like they actually did something worthwhile, then their is Chris Ryans little hero move where he supposedly took out 2 trucks full of soldiers when he was alone, supposedly something else that never happened, the list goes on. However, that doesnt take away from Ryans extreme tab for 200 miles in freezing conditions alone in the desert, that initself needs to be recognised as a serious feat of human endurance. But in the end, he and a few others are now Persona Non Grata at the regiments barracks in hereford due to the bullshit and the unwelcome publicity they brought on the regiment after they went ahead with their books and photo oppertunities. Atleast the money they got will help Andy McStab keep all his new implanted teeth in tip top shape :)
  5. The same as you would do if you were in a car and came across one, you disregard it and drive right through it :)
  6. Yea, I have the dvd, its well decent, although their isnt alot of action in it, it does let you glimpse what life is like daily for the men over there in an outpost...
  7. I have hundreds of military orientated books, I joined the MBC years ago and they kept sending me books that I didnt order, at first I didnt worry and just paid for them, but after a while I ended up with a library of new books in my house, with atleast 90-95% unread. I cancelled the club, but I am still left with books that I will never ever get around to reading, I will probably throw them all out when I get around to renovating two rooms next year, as I need to knock down walls and add a new attic entrance, thus all the boxes of books that are stored in one of those rooms will have to find a new home or will probably find themselves being recycled as bog roll.
  8. Yes in todays age, the term SF wouldnt be correct for them, but back then, wouldnt they of been the special forces of their day ? since they were the top soldiers of whoever's army. I dont know much about Samurais, only what I have seen or read, which isnt much, but they always seem to be very well respected and very capable. Then there is the film 7 samurai, which depicts them as thieves and scoundrels if I recall, so I dont know what to think, and cant get a true picture of what samurais really were like in real life.
  9. I will give it a try and see, but I am still doubtful, but I guess there is one way to find out :)
  10. Fascinating :lol:
  11. Lordwolf, I dont know about you, but I would count Samurai as Special Forces, as they were the creme de-la creme of japanese fighting troops. Although, hundreds of years ago, but they would still fall into the category of Special forces, as they were giving special tasks that ordinary troops couldnt or wouldnt accomplish. That's just my opinion, I dont know if they would actually be classed as Special Forces by any military historian ?
  12. Yea, that one didnt slip past me either, how the hell he became the UN special middle east peace envoy after being booted out of the UK is waaaaaaaaaay past my sane reasoning.
  13. Yea, he can tell that it was a friendly that shot him down, as if I recall correctly, the bullets have a return address stamped onto them :) Return to sender :)
  14. LOL, you forgotten the impotent "Show" president of Russia's name also :)
  15. Hajduk somehow I dont feel that important to be snatched by some government to get tortured when I go overseas, because my gov did/said certain things that the overseas gov didnt like, thus they took their frustration out on me. I am more likely to get snatched by terrorists because I am not a muslim, or because they think they can get money for ransoming me etc. No matter how transparent a government is/can be, terrorists have their own agenda and will do what they want to do regardless of anybody/country, so no matter how good and open a gov is, there is always some nutter who will want to shoot americans or british etc etc, simply for whatever reason comes into their head that day. Dont get me wrong, we need to keep an eye on them, but their is no point in doing a microscopic investigation into one or two countries practises and forcing them to change when the rest of the world continues with the bullshit. We could be all nicey nicey and open, but whats the point when everyone else around us isnt and still upto their ditry tricks ? it would then leave us at a disadvantage if we had to be open all the time. However much I think you are 100% correct that all gov's should be open and accountable for their actions, in this day and age it is impractical in my opinion. Rockeyes: The world isnt wakening up, as soon as wiki release the last of the bunch of files they got from bradley manning, this will then all be forgotten about by summer time of next year. As I said before, wikileaks is releasing them a few months apart so they can deliberatly keep themselves in the headlines, as even they know that if they were to release them all at once at the begining when they released that video, this would of all been forgotten about by now. Wikileaks is just stringing it out so that they can get as much media attention out of this as possible, but once done it will be forgotten about just as quickly. Once all the files have been released, wikileaks will then fade back into corporate obscurity.
  16. meh wtf, stfu gtfo ead and diaff not meaning that literally to anyone, but I thought this thread needed some acronym leetness. BTW, TLDR
  17. Exactly :thumbup: Its big news to the dumb public and 0 news to everyone else.
  18. Its a huge farce, thats what it is, the public do not need to know about what was said in these diplomatic cables or whatever, what purpose does it serve us the public knowing what they contain ? serves no purpose at all. Who gives a shit about what one country thinks of another behind closed doors, or what one person thinks of another or how they get shit done. All govs work like that and have been doing so since the year dot, so these new leaks ( which were conviently held back and released later so that wikileaks cud keep itself in the headlines instead of releasing everyhting in one go and being forgotten about ) serves absolutely 0 purpose in anyone from the public knowing about them, because nothing will change and probably every gov worth its salt will already know what the cables contained anyway, probably seconds after they were transmitted. I am sure china knows the US hates it, I am sure the Uk knows that the US thinks its too big for its boots, I am sure world leaders know what the US think of them publically and privately. So back to the topic at hand, anybody got the time on them ? what time is kick off between N&S Korea's ?
  19. I have a feeling that Assange is gunna be found dead one day in mysterious circumstances, a few years after his US military leaks dry up.
  20. Na, they havent cancelled it, they just moved the Arty drill location to serbia instead. The reason given was "Less chance of hitting anything of value and 0 chance of starting a war". :lol:
  21. Never did like his movies, dunno why ? RIP to the dude anyway.
  22. To this day I still cant see what the UK gov and others thought was so great about booting out smith and letting mugabe take over, look at the state of the place now, when it was a once thriving small community, with a great army.
  23. Oh, never tried attaching it to the bands at the top, I just tried attaching it to the chunky plastic bit at the bottom. Does it fit ok and more to the point, does the tir unit have no problems seeign the lights ? cuz I am looking at my set now and by the looks of it, if i attach it, i am not sure if the lights will be how they should be aligned, if you know what i mean, cuz the 2 top moveable head pads would come into contact with it. the ad700s have the same setup as me, so if you have it working it should work on mine, but tbh I just cant see it without a struggle. any chance of posting a pic to see what it looks like on your ones ?
  24. HoHo Boom Headshot :megalol: tells you at begining of video, AGM-130
