Very nice demo of the "Pilot-maker". I saw the GEICO Skytypers a couple of years ago with their 6 SNJ-2's. Not as fast or sexy as a P-51, but still can put out a lot of noise and smoke (and honestly, ain't that why we go to airshows?).

...but can they do Unicode?

Thats interesting... :hmm:

You know, I cant help but feel pleased with all of this. 18-20 months ago, my most advanced computer skill was using paint. I havent regretted a second of learning this

Happy German Unity Day!

I guess the NASA.gov website is down due to the U.S. government being shutdown.

I bet you could sell that photo to some unsuspecting tabloid...

"Amazing photo shows US airliner being captured by UFO flying saucer!"

Our traffic reporters only get helicopters... :/

Big mistake by Randall Munroe: There weren't three Hobbits looking at Shadowfax until...well...for a really long time at least.

How to effectively kill your internet connection:
1. Get a new laptop
2. Have a download speed of 300 kb/s
3. Download 1 GB (!) of Windows updates
4. ???
5. Profit!
6. Move to another flat with faster internet this weekend!:thumbup:

Yeah, I feel your pain on that one.

Because of some weekend special of 2K.

Ah ok... so its some sort of a time limited Demo version.

It's a full version, only limited by time you can play it (like also "Retrovirus" and "Sol Survivor"). Steamworks CEG allows that. You can even unlock achievements, which will persist if you buy the game some time later (i.e. not only during the free weekend).
