oiaohmBut make a nice job of small ships.Apr 24 00:00
tessier_oiaohm: The pirates don't have big ships, fortunately.Apr 24 00:00
DaemonFCteach them how to shoot straight, reload, and clean the thingApr 24 00:00
tessier_It takes more than an hour to learn to shoot straight.Apr 24 00:00
oiaohmThink hold caslse defence.Apr 24 00:00
DaemonFCnot difficultApr 24 00:00
oiaohmThe pirate has to climb up on the ship.  DaemonFCApr 24 00:00
oiaohmWhy put your personal in harms way.Apr 24 00:00
tessier_Speaking of which, I should get to the range again soon. Been months.Apr 24 00:00
DaemonFCI'm obviously not a professional soldier and I could easily shoot someone if I had toApr 24 00:01
MinceRgnApr 24 00:01
oiaohmThe old systems of burning hot material would work off a cargo ship.  DaemonFCApr 24 00:01
DaemonFCit's not really much of a skill at that rangeApr 24 00:01
DaemonFCyou'd have to be blind to missApr 24 00:01
oiaohmIe they come up you schorce the crap out of them.Apr 24 00:01
tessier_DaemonFC: What range? You would have to get them pretty close. They have AK's.Apr 24 00:01
oiaohmSame kind of defence could be designed around bridge.Apr 24 00:01
tessier_Container ships are very long.Apr 24 00:01
tessier_oiaohm: Yes, I think armoring the bridge and being able to lock into a secure area is a good idea.Apr 24 00:02
oiaohmBasically don't fight battles with guns if you don't have to.Apr 24 00:02
DaemonFCfirefight could give you several possibilities in that environmentApr 24 00:02
tessier_oiaohm: Unfortunately current ships just aren't designed that way.Apr 24 00:02
DaemonFCyou could find cover and discourage them from proceeding towards you if nothing elseApr 24 00:02
oiaohmRemember if they can kill the crew on the ship they can then take it when ever DaemonFCApr 24 00:02
oiaohmSo you want to make killing the crew as impossiable as possiable.Apr 24 00:02
oiaohmLike robot fight fighting cannons.Apr 24 00:03
DaemonFCso ways of preventing them from boarding in the first place?Apr 24 00:03
oiaohmYep DaemonFCApr 24 00:03
DaemonFCMake it so they land on a row of cactii? :)Apr 24 00:03
oiaohmYou could make the ship harder to grapple hook.Apr 24 00:03
oiaohmSo they cannot get up there in the first place.Apr 24 00:04
MinceRor you could just kill the bad guysApr 24 00:04
DaemonFCsmooth hull, avoid ridgesApr 24 00:04
DaemonFC:)Apr 24 00:04
DaemonFCarm the crew in case they find a way onboard in spite of all thatApr 24 00:04
DaemonFC:DApr 24 00:04
oiaohmRemember large cargo ship running over small boat will feel nothing.Apr 24 00:04
DaemonFCramming :)Apr 24 00:04
DaemonFCalways a good option to haveApr 24 00:05
oiaohmAll these options don't put crew in harms way.Apr 24 00:05
oiaohmMakes pirate life hell.Apr 24 00:05
oiaohmTrained to drop hand grandas with monotoff cocktails into the pirate ships while out line of fire is something the crew can do.Apr 24 00:06
DaemonFCoiaohm: I saw something funny on Youtube earlierApr 24 00:06
DaemonFCsome guy had an electric bike and put red and blue flashers on the frontApr 24 00:06
DaemonFCnice way to get charged with impersonating a police officer :DApr 24 00:07
oiaohmHmm ship mostly metal.  wonder if you can set up door to cabins as tasers.Apr 24 00:08
oiaohmIe leathal level tasers.Apr 24 00:08
DaemonFCtasers are actually a good option where the officer uses them properlyApr 24 00:08
DaemonFCcertainly less potential for harm to the suspect than a batonApr 24 00:08
DaemonFC:DApr 24 00:08
oiaohmRule one never enter a fire fight if you don't have to.Apr 24 00:09
DaemonFCthere's those tasers=murder morons, telling you about accidental deathsApr 24 00:09
DaemonFCthey should compare that to before the baton was phased outApr 24 00:09
oiaohmI am talking about 30 000 volt versions DaemonFCApr 24 00:09
DaemonFChow many deaths and injuries thenApr 24 00:09
oiaohmie 100 percent death for sureApr 24 00:09
*oiaohm has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Apr 24 00:10
DaemonFCI'd rather have a taser than a baton myself, less chance of killing the person, don't have to get close enough for them to grab it and use it on youApr 24 00:10
DaemonFClots of perks with the taser :DApr 24 00:10

_goblindaemonfc: Re: Taser....I completely agree with you....as a tactical option it is far less lethal than a baton.Apr 24 00:37
_goblindaemonfc: but then again, the best "weapon" is your mouth.  Talk someone down is always the most desirable option.Apr 24 00:38

Omar87schestowitz, HiApr 24 16:21
Omar87schestowitz, so assuming a miracle happens and Adobe went Linux instead of Apple, is this a good thing?Apr 24 16:22
oiaohmOmar87: Define good.Apr 24 16:23
oiaohmIn the battle against Apple.  Adobe on Linux is a help.Apr 24 16:24
Omar87Oh, I see.Apr 24 16:24
oiaohmHardware makers doing hardware level drm is a real problem.Apr 24 16:25
Omar87oiaohm: but then even so, Adobe makes proprietary software after all, ya know.Apr 24 16:26
oiaohmI know.Apr 24 16:26
Omar87Oh, I totally agree about the drm issue.Apr 24 16:26
oiaohmSoftware level problem is simpler to deal with than hardware.Apr 24 16:26
oiaohmWe just have to create programs that work better than Adobe to win.Apr 24 16:26
Omar87That's correct.Apr 24 16:27
oiaohmCompetition is good.Apr 24 16:27
Omar87I agree.Apr 24 16:27
oiaohmOk would be better if Adobe was open source and we did not have to defeat them.Apr 24 16:27
oiaohmBut not like you can have everything you want in this life.Apr 24 16:27
Omar87We now have a number of good alternative software to that of Adobe's.Apr 24 16:28
Omar87oiaohm, agreed.Apr 24 16:28
Omar87We have GIMP, Openshot, Movie Editor. Almost all we need now is a Flash-like program. Apr 24 16:30
oiaohmReally the one to keep eye on is blender.Apr 24 16:30
oiaohmIts kinda unquie.  Part Movie editor part 3d modeling program part game engine.Apr 24 16:31
Omar87Yeah. It's amazing.Apr 24 16:31
oiaohmAnd future plans even include part audio editor.Apr 24 16:31
oiaohmThe amazing part is how many features they fit into such a small program.Apr 24 16:32
Omar87Oh, yeah. That's one big step they have ahead of these large proprietary counterparts.Apr 24 16:33
oiaohmAlso we will not really be needing a flash type program.Apr 24 16:35
oiaohmHTML 5 is providing lots of features of flash.Apr 24 16:35
Omar87Yeah, but I'm talking about animation in general. Lots of artists use flash to create stuff like animated comics and cartoons.Apr 24 16:36

schestowitz"The modern English word "evil" (Old English yfel) and its cognates such as the German Übel are widely considered to come from a Proto-Germanic reconstructed form *ubilaz, comparable to the Hittite huwapp- ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European form *wap- and suffixed zero-grade form *up-elo-. Other later Germanic forms include Middle English evel, ifel, ufel, Old Frisian evel (adjective and noun), Old Saxon ubil, Old High German ubil, Apr 24 23:28
