    Online Computer games[Actually All Things Gaming]

    I would suggest waiting for the new line of ATi Radeon's to be released this fall before moving to a new big-budget video card.  Investing in more RAM may boost performance, however, in most modern games any amount of 1GB of RAM won't make for significant boosts.  Upgrading to 1GB if you don't...

    *SPOILER WARNING!* Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I'm pretty sure Luke lost his hand in their dule on Cloud City, in Empire Strikes Back.  The Emperor wasn't present at that time.  Correct me if I'm wrong though, I haven't scene the first trilogy in a while.  You may be thinking of Return of the Jedi, when Luke surrenders himself to Vader and...

    RCMP Info, discussion

    I have been thinking of applying to the RCMP.  I'm just wondering if I should wait to obtain my full 'G' class Ontario drivers licence before applying.  I currently have the 'G2' intermediate.  I've been out of school for two years since graduating HS, and am going back to school next year once...

    Movie Review: Kingdom of Heaven

    Uhh no, I was referring to Egypt After the Pharaohs, by Alan K. Bowman.   However, I guess it's best that I concede defeat now and retract my statement in light of this scholar's review.   My bad.

    Military Making Pitch to Aboriginal Youth ($1,200 bonus for aboriginals)

    I have many friends from various backgrounds who have asked if such a program exists.  A few days or weeks to be involved on some level with the CF to see what it's all about before making their decision.  Though I am an outsider, I think such a program would be beneficial to the recruiting...

    Movie Review: Kingdom of Heaven

    Good scenery and the big names are all real, but their relations are far different and timelimes all mixed than real history dictates.  However, it's a movie. This movie was good at portraying one thing, the mercifulness and honor of Salah al Din.  He was moreso a leader of civilized men than...

    Vandals hit Fan Fest military displays

    These kids aren't taught much about Canadian history on the great warfronts and our contributions to conflict zones world wide.  They learn a lot about what Louis Riel meant to the country and how Colonel By built a loch system, but not much about how we dropped the gloves for a good cause time...

    Marine on leave attacked in Manitoba bar

    I think the backlash from that is something a lot of folks in the prairies wouldn't want.  The RCMP are competant, leave it to them to handle it  though the outcome lies with the court system.  Gangs are unfortunate, but they all meet their maker some day.  This Marine survived, and I wish him...

    The what is your favorite car thread

    Pure White 2002 Cadillac STS.  Anyone seen Equilibrium? You too can drive around like a Cleric from the Tetra-Grammaton.  I'd be happy with an older SUV (1995-2001) or a hearty pick-up.  I put my dreams of a Mercedes SL-65 AMG away for good.

    Not your typical Suburban

    I was looking for a Suburban to assist me in my summer contract work, but.. I could always pick one of these up.  That would require a bit of a change in my supplementary profession. ;D  (Anyone got a 95-97 Suburban 1500 Loaded for sale?)

    What was your price Stronach??????

    http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/05/17/stronach-liberals050517.html This is digusting and a shame indeed.  I'm shaking my fist.  Now both Kilgour and Cadman will have to side with the Conservatives on Thursday's vote to win, and I couldn't care less for the prior.

    Kilts

    Better to be showing your knees than to be showing what's above them with the kilt sitting around your ankles.  If you have one custom made, you can add belt loops which I've seen before.  You can also go with 13 oz over 16oz, but the latter is far more durable.

    Kilts

    Check where they get their tartan's from.   Burnett's & Struth can get tartans from weavers such as Lochcarron who have just about every tartan there is, including my family's which is pretty rare.   I've got a 48th Highlander's (Davidson tartan) kilt kickin' around the house, though it's my...

    Kosovo video... a lil inappropriate :S

    It states in the video summary that they were Norwegian.  I'm pretty sure I saw the Norwegian flag on the uniforms aswell.

    Winnipeg and BMQ/SQ

    No, it was more like 6 inches, atleast in Winnipeg.  It didn't last long but it broke a lot of tree limbs.

    No, but apparently both occur in Manitoba.

    Merged subject - Nicknames

    My initials are RCR, and that's what I generally go by on the 'net.  People begun pronouncing it and soon I ended up with Archer.  Others began calling me so for that reason.  Others have adapted it into something along the lines of myself being strong and thin, like a bow and/or arrow.  I...

    Marine on leave attacked in Manitoba bar

    The Pas never struck me as a place that really has much of an anti-war collective..  some people will pick fights with any sort of authority, out of jealousy, naivety or just plain hatred.  If they're in Winnipeg, they're definately out in the smaller towns.  This is sad to hear about, I hope he...

    The Military Police [MP] Superthread

    I've dabbled a bit in Police recruitment in the civvy world.  Education does help as it gets you involved in the atmosphere of the job, regardless of whether it's a diploma or degree program.  Both programs are, however, very different in the assets they give you.  What Police services are...
