Off-Topic / Calling all German speakers!
« on: 29-11-2010, 07:11:59 »
So, I have to write a bit for a new report skit we have to do in class tomorrow for my German class.  We were given topics to speak on, and this counts as our final oral exam grade.  I had to write on the TSA, and I was wondering if any of you jerry rotters could check my translation of what I wrote out in english, and fix what is probably full of typos.  I will deeply thank and respect anyone who could check this over for me, and I will send them cookies x3

In the USA, the “Transportation Security Administration”, or “TSA”, has begun a series of security steps that it says are to fix security holes and provide protection to airline passengers.  The steps, which include full body pat downs and X-ray scanners, have been met with sharp criticism from Americans for their invasiveness.  The X-ray scanners take nude, x-ray photos of your body, whilst the full body pat downs consist of a TSA agent patting one down over their ENTIRE body.  The US government has offered little comment on the subject, even after the TSA announced that US government officials would not be required to go through the lengthy procedure.  Protests of the security procedures have been appearing frequently, and the TSA appears to have backed down somewhat from its stance for the time being, as public pressure and news pressure have turned opinion against the government security agency.

Might as well start this so that whenever I feel like it, I can make a post here on stuff.  Copy Pasta first though:

On the Usage of Tripod Mounting Mgs ingame, namly, the M1919A4, Vickers, and MG34/42 Lafette:

1) YOU DO NOT BELONG IN FIRE FIGHTS.  You do not take it into fire fight conditions.  You do not take it into enclosed spaces.  You do not try to set up in the middle of a fight or a flag area.

2)  You DO set up in enfilading positions where you can't be seen directly from the front.  This is actually EASIEST with the 30cal as you lie down to use it.  You set up behind a table or a rock or other cover, and fire at a diagonal angle into your preset killing ground.

3)  HAVE A KILLING GROUND SET UP.  Make sure you can clear fields of fire on the enemy, and be sure to keep the gun pointed at the less noticeable spots, that's where a sniper is gonna go to try and shoot you.

4)  Join up with a squad if on defense, and have at least one of them guard your ass.

5)  When you set up, make sure that its behind the front lines.  This is easiest with the lafette due to the telescopic sight, but is perfectly well done with any of the tripod mountings.  You set up behind your own lines, and have the killing field set up as where the enemy is going to try to defend/attack front

6)  You are an area DENIAL weapon.  When defending, you can set up pointing along a single street or avenue of attack, and literally lock it down.  This will often end up being boring, you'll wipe out a couple squads, then for the rest of the map only hit stragglers.  HOWEVER, this is critical.  You have now shut down an entire avenue of attack for the enemy, who will now be funneled into other areas.

7)  CHANGE POSITION!  Have preset positions (you can even start your own local server to scout this out, I do this a lot) where you can fall back to or change around once you realize that there's a squad or even just a single guy out looking for you.  Countless times I have pissed off a squad to the point where they come specifically after me, I change position, then when they come up on my old position to find I'm not there, I mow them down.

Bug Reporting / Spawning for Ramelle Neuville
« on: 02-10-2010, 07:10:20 »
Not exactly sure if this is a bug or intentional, but why is it that most of the time, you spawn several grid squares away from the intended spawn point?  I've had tons of times now when I've selected a spawn point and literally spawned at the spawnpoint to the EAST.  This is rather annoying....  Now, if its meant to be this way, ok, I don't really see why, but ok.  But if its not, its quite some bug :P

Huzzah!  A big victory for gay/bi/les/etc rights, that'll hopefully continue on to the Supreme Court, get upheld, and thus make it the law of the nation. :3

 ;D

PS, for a great legal brief by a rather well respected lawyer on just why the judge made this ruling, and the difference between moral v legal reasoning:

Off-Topic / The iPad
« on: 03-04-2010, 22:04:45 »
Well guys, here I am typing from the new apple iPad.  my mom just surprised me with it just a little while ago, so I'm slowly getting used to it as well as the keyboard and downloading the apps.  thus far, it seems very useful, lots of fun, and visually outstanding.  The keyboard, once put into the horizontal viewpoint, is very easy to get used to, and I am typing rather fast right now, almost as fast as I do usually.  I'll write s more in-depth review once I slowly get some apps and mess around with this thing a bit more.  But me initial assessment is that this is very, very, VERY cool.

Off-Topic / So I'm going to Albertson's
« on: 03-04-2010, 18:04:41 »
So soon I am going to Albertson's.  Anyone live nearby it?

Anybody got some tips on things to do, people to see?

I was thinking about visiting the soda pop aisle.  Maybe also the fruit aisle.  I understand they have some lovely grapes.

I'll be leaving in an hour...probably won't be back for a half hour, maybe a bit less.  I'll miss you all.

Bug Reporting / K98k sight
« on: 05-09-2009, 21:09:39 »
Well, same mistake as last time guys, too bad I couldn't catch it before release...hopefully can be fixed though:



Once again, the notch is FILLED by the post, with the top of the post flush with the top of the notch, making an even line.  The correct way is on the k98k sight of FH2.15.  As of right now, in real life, all your shots would be flying above your target.
