This video is a short version of what I saw the other night on the news. There's about a minute of footage that was cropped from the beginning. The one I saw show a guy going into the back of the truck and taking out a large (maybe 4'-5' long) tubular object and laying out in the farmer's field. There was talk by the good guys that it was either an rpg or a sam. Then when the guy ran back to ride the tractor he got the order to explode their bodies into chunks. I read a comment on a news page somewhere where they asked one of the pilots why did they have to kill them with such a big gun. He told them that "they were about a mile and a half away, and the 50 caliber was the smallest gun they had". Too bad the clip doesn't include the first minute to silence all the whiners who said we shot farmers.

HOW DO I GET THIS FILE? WHERE'S THE FTP SITE? Thanks in advance.

(such arrogance! wow.) If you already know which members you don't want to read, then you already have that power. DON'T READ THEIR RESPONSES .

FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!

Mastercam WTF

quote: Would anyone mind if we held up the release to research this further? And that's the crux of my question: HOW MUCH research DID you do to come up with X ?

If they wait a little while until Bush's Legal Slavery For Immigrants bill gets enacted, they'll be able to find a programmer for about $4.50 an hour.

So is the next release after "X" going to be "Y"? or "XII"? I just don't think it does Mastercam justice. Sounds like you guys couldn't think of a name, started calling it "X", and it happened to also be the Roman numeral for 10, and it stuck. The letter "X" usually signifies "crossing out" or "stamping out" something. Mastercam is #1 in installed seats world wide, but remember what happened to the Roman Empire. It also means "to multiply". "Mutliply your productivity by the power of X". Hey - that's not too bad! But now you can't use it because I said it first! Unless you want my lawyers to come after you guys for royalty fees

Sounds like you guys didn't put much thought into the new release's name. I hope you didn't pay some advertising firm to come up with that lame name. Mastercam is deserving of a better name, like Mastercam Luther.

And make 'em learn ENGLISH. Sounds like a way to have easy access to a cheap labor pool. They say these are jobs no Americans want, but now are giving you up to a whopping two weeks to apply for one. This whole mess sends one big message "We are overwhelmed and can't prosecute the law breakers, so come on up so at least we can get cheap labor out of the deal." The problem is, while they're hear they'll be popping out little bambinos who are automatically citizens. Free education, free health care, can't deport the parents. At best guess we have 8-10 million illegals in this country. With this policy we'll have 50 million by 2025.

Be careful what you wish for. We probably won't recognize it when we see it. And that means "learning curve while the boss is screaming for programs". I hope you like icons instead of a word driven menu.

Make it go away (ONLY KIDDING!!!) Actually, I use it all the time and it's extremely powerful, if you plan ahead for its use and know how it works ahead of time. I like it. It did take some getting used to though. Make the interface simpler, although I don't know how you would do that and still make all the options available.

Do you have the "Delete empty groups" checked ON in your operation manager display options? Maybe when the toolpath fails it never gets the chance to be assigned to the active group, gets stuffed in the 1st group and the empty 2nd group gets deleted? Just a thought...

Used to work with a guy who was a "close talker". If any of you saw that episode of Seinfeld, you know what that is. Not only did it stink, you usually found out about it when he was 3 inches from your nose when he went to speak to you. Because his sexual orientation was already in question, he was nicknamed "c*ck breath". Pretty friggin' gross, I'll tell you.

How about BAD BO? And I'm not talking "normal" BO, but BO so bad that you know who was in the room 15 minutes before you. And the worse part is, you tell the boss and he tells YOU to go tell him to take a !#!# shower because they're too cowardly to do their "managers" job of managing smelly *ss pig employees.
