Wrong battle with Obi Wan. I'm referring to the one where Anakin got his handed to him and sustained the injuries that led to him becoming the half droid Sith Lord we all know and love. But you are correct, 19 years has passed during which the Death Star was constructed, so I'm incorrect in...

I was under the impression that some of the men that boarded the stolen shuttle were pilots who volunteered. From some of the prequels and sequels, it's clear all of the rebel pilots are at least armed, if not trained. If they were pilots, then the entirety of them being wiped out on the beach...

RDP'ing into one machine, then RDP'ing from that machine into another? We do it all the time.

The core of the entire matter is summed up in this one sentence. David413 has his reasons for keeping the Shuttle Fleet closed-source. I may not agree with his actions, or his attitude, but I do understand why he may want to just let it die - because people don't understand the point Thorsten...

Talk about ironic. I literally just stumbled upon this last Friday when looking at options for powering my Pi3-powered Stratux. It's actually a documented feature of the Raspberry Pi Power Supply, and it's called Backpowering. So, in summary, you stumbled upon an obscure documented feature...

Amazing! Looks as good as some of the ortho scenery available for X-Plane 10. For reference, each tile created at Level 16 in g2xpl takes roughly 8GB of space. I know some real-world pilots who use X-Plane that decided to go all out and tile the entire US and parts of Europe at level 17, and...

Yes, it is. Big Buck Bunny details.

I've seen a few documentaries on air disasters. In those cases, and it sounds like it is also the situation here, there was intense pressure to complete flights even when safety was knowingly compromised, and threats of termination for not complying. In the case of this flight, the football...

Could you make only the relevant external parts that need to be visible actually be part of the VC?

I'd say that's a good estimate, looks like around 6,000 to 7,000 AGL to me. For comparison... :P I'm sorry, I couldn't resist...

You know, for all of Grand Moff Tarkin's faults, he DID reduce unemployment on Alderaan to zero...

Haven't had this with Win10, but saw it several times over the years as a desktop tech with XP and 7. Sounds to me like it's possibly a corrupted Master Boot Record. In the XP days I'd boot with the installation CD, launch the system recovery tools and do a FIXBOOT or FIXMBR from the command...

"SEAGULLS! (Stop It Now)" -- A Bad Lip Reading of The Empire Strikes Back - YouTube

I'd planned to fly down in September but it didn't work out. I was saddened to hear this, and have felt that way all day. Regardless of how our marriage ended, my ex-wife and I had several good trips there. Lots of memories, and that area has always had a special place in my heart since...

Most of the time it's sufficient. I guess I'm expecting Orbiter-type rotation at low speed, when I'm approaching a landing platform for example. No biggie, I'll just have to manage my approaches better.

Is there a way to increase yaw responsiveness in the Sidewinder, or to I just have to suck it up until I get a better ship (which I almost did last night)? For such a puny ship, this thing has the yaw response of the Spruce Goose. I do have flight assist toggled on.

Space is hard. Decided to find a quick mission last night before dinner, then finish it up just before bed. Just a simple cargo run. Deliver 4 units of beer. Easy, right? Plotted a course with 3 jumps to the system that had the beer, landed & bought the beer before logging off. Logged back...
