Right. Wingers are wingers, right or left. The ones on the right seem a

You must lean left these days.

They both sound like extremist to me.


Oh, you're right about them being extremist on both sides. But just listen
here on RCM. Do you honestly think that the wingers on both sides are
equally intelligent -- or unintelligent?

I'm no fan of lefties but I have to admit they're a hell of a lot smarter.

Sitting on the ground right next to the cell antenna, sure...well maybe.

You conveniently left out the part that takes time for the cell system to
switch cells when you move. It takes time and the plane would be moving if
it wanted to stay in the air.


Right. But it works. I've been there. So have most people who were flying
and had cell phones in the early '90s. My use of them dates back to the
Motorola Lunch Boxes, and I've had them ever since.


The US had two plane attacks from terrorist hijacks and a third one, off
course, and not answering their call. They scrambled fighters too late to
intercept the first two but they were in the air freaking out.

You tell me what they did. Escort them to safety? Admit they shot their
own people down? They made up a story about heroics and blamed it on the
terrorists.


What they did is look down at the smoking wreckage of Flight 93. I had a
friend on that plane -- Joe DeLuca.

Uh, if you've never used a cell phone on a plane, before they changed the
system, it worked very well. You locked onto one cell for a very long
time,
and there were a lot of choices. It really tied up the cells around an
airport when half the people on all of the planes coming in for a landing
got on their phones at once, calling home to tell someone they were
arriving.

I did it all the time until they outlawed it.


Are you saying you don't believe it happened on Flight 93?

One news report I heard (and I don't remember what channel) said that

speaking (who I think was a military offical, but I'm not sure) said
that they were unable to find a country that would accept the body for
burial - either out of distaste for the man or out of security
concerns.


I'd need to do the research to see how often the Muslim radicals attacked Jews and
Christians on their holidays or what customs and conventions were violated, I don't
believe I'd have to look long or hard to find them.


For a country, ours, that wants to separate church and state to honor the religious
beliefs of someone that wanted to destroy us seems discordant at best.


I'll have to fall back on how we are a better people and wonder if those we don't want to
offend don't rejoice because our observance of their customs make them believe we fear
them and their God.


Nope, we honored the Islamic customs because we want to convince the
moderate Muslims that we have no beef with their faith. *We will never
convince the extremists, so it doesn't matter what they think of it.
What Obama knows, and Bush never figured out, is that one good way to
put the brakes on terrorism is to stop creating more people who hate us.
* We killed his sorry ass because we wanted all people to know that you
cannot do what he did to us and get away with it.

When we kill a Christian criminal or terrorist scumbag, either in a
gunfight or a death cell, we do not desecrate the body, we bury them
with the appropriate rites and trust God to handle the reprisals.

I remember an event with my sister when we were teens. We were at a
friends watching someone play basketball well down the hillside. She
asked why the sound of the ball hitting the ground came after she saw it
hit the ground. I explained the difference between the speed of light vs
the speed of sound. Well, sis was nothing if not opinionated and willing
to defend that opinion to her last breath. She soundly rejected my
explanation and we got into quite an argument over it until Mom showed up.

I see this sort of manipulation all the time on TV. Kinda scary when you
think about it...

Probably. But they don't want to inflame the emotions of Muslims in general.
So, unlike the video of Saddam's capture, they won't be making it public.
US, Pakistani, Afghan, Saudi and other officials will probably be given a

AFAIC, bin Laden was dead to me for years, ever since Bush stated that
he was irrelevant. This dog and pony show was for Obama's libtard
supporters who were unable to just move on like the rest of us were.

1. Religious law says 24 hours. There are Chaplains aboard ship
that are qualified.
2. What country in the world can knee jerk fast enough to grant
a second Mecca ? Oh - yea - monuments and all that.
3. If not a drove of people, they can be bought with his billions...

4. They have the brain of a direct relative. Matching with him was
trivial.
5. The process removes the a rally point.

I guess you get your input from the news group. This was widely reported.

Yes, seems odd. I mean, they have no qualms about going into a foreign

according to local traditions?

Chris



My first thought was similar. We go to all the lengths in the world for
a decade to find and kill this guy. Then when we finally do kill him we
dump his body in the ocean the same day. It doesn't sound right to me.
It should be more like, U.S. captures Bin Laden, takes him to a secret
undisclosed location, and tells the world he's dead and buried at sea.
Why we would dispose of his remains so fast just seems fishy.

You would think we would want to keep and preserve his body for
posterity. I understand they have his DNA, photos, and all. But I would
have preferred for us to have kept his body, and done an autopsy on it.
If he's gone you can never go back and get the answers to any more
questions. It's just like with McVeigh. Dead men tell no tales. Maybe
Osama is in a cell right now somewhere getting ready for waterboarding.
I wouldn't put it past our government to do that.

It's awfully convenient after bogus birth cert #2, isn't it?


When I was the paper tonight, I was delighted that they'd finally
nabbed Obama bin Biden. Then I read more closely and was sad again.


The questions...are there..arnt they?

And the timing...the timing after the birth cert thing...is absolutely
fascinating.

Figure the odds of such things happening so close together.

Astronomical.

We do live...in interesting times.

Oh, you're right about them being extremist on both sides. But just

Default cell phone use while on airliners (was: They buried Osama at sea?)

On 9/11/2001, several people did actually use cell phones
while in flight. I'm not sure what altitude, descending
towards the Pentagon, obviously.

I read your attached but I see no validation of cell phones working in a
fuselage. The article is full of "could", "possibly" and "if" but no actual
validation to indicate it will function. Some reports indicate cell signals
work very intermittently in a fuselage. Many factors would be involved but
never for more than a few seconds at a time.

As the quote stated it was from a pilot. That should have not been confused
with another statement.

I believe that cells would work near the ground. The airspeed would be
slower, the windows (RF portholes) would align with the antennae better and
the antennae signals would be channeled more at the mobile cell handset.

OTOH: These hijacked flights would have been closer to the ground than a
regular flight so despite the logic and multiple persons telling us it can't
work the jury is still out for transmission capabilities. The cell switching
speed is still an unknown and I doubt the switching logic could handle cells
changing that fast. There are parameters in the switching logic that take
time to be sure, it is time, for the cell to switch frequencies and relock
with the next cell. I haven't found satisfactory evidence of this online,
yet, other than a 400ms blank out time. I believe I have experienced this
myself when switching cells.

I still maintain (as well as many others) the plane was shot down and the
cell phone conversations are lies to make the heroic story possible . No
other scenario would be possible.

I'm going to post a lengthy quote from Wikipedia at the bottom of this. If

analog, which is briefly mentioned. I have no idea how or if they work

(From Wikipedia)

Cell tower channel re-use

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) currently prohibits the use
of mobile telephones aboard any aircraft in flight. The reason given is that
mobile phone systems depend on channel reuse and operating a phone at
altitude may violate the fundamental assumptions that allow channel reuse to
work.

The FCC is also concerned that the use, or even non-use, of a powered cell
phone could cause disruption to the cell systems' towers and has banned
their use.[19]

Mobile telephones are intentionally designed with a low power output. A
tower is the center of a "cell" and due to attenuation with distance
(inverse square law) cell phone transmissions can usually be received only
weakly by towers in adjacent cells and not at all in cells farther away
(non-adjacent cells). This allows the channel used by any given phone to be
reused by other phones in non-adjacent cells. This principle allows tens or
hundreds of thousands of people to use their phones at the same time in a
given metropolitan area while using only a limited number of channels.

Channel reuse works because a mobile phone on the ground will only have one
"closest" tower that can possibly use a particular group of frequencies,
CDMA codes, or time slots. The software that manages the system assumes that
the signal from a phone on a particular tower can, on other towers, only be
"heard" at greatly reduced signal strength. The frequency, code, or time
slot used by the phone can therefore be reused by other phones on other
towers.

In the old analog cell system a channel was simply a frequency pair: There
were seven groups of 35 channels each and no two adjacent cells used the
same channel groups. Modern CDMA and TDMA systems are more complex: A
channel in TDMA is a frequency pair, and a time slot, and a channel in CDMA
is a spread spectrum key but the principle of channel reuse still applies.

If a mobile phone is operated from an aircraft in flight above a city these
assumptions ares no longer valid because the towers of numerous different
cells may be about equidistant from the phone. Multiple towers might assume
that the phone is under their control and the phone could be assigned a free
channel by one tower but could also be heard on other towers using the same
channel group. The channel might already be in use on those other towers and
could cause interference with existing calls. It is also possible that the
software controlling the towers could crash.[citation needed] Even if the
software can cope with hearing the same phone on multiple non-adjacent
towers the result at best is an overall decrease in system capacity.

An additional concern is the output power of the mobile handset. Because the
towers might be miles below the aircraft the phone might have to transmit at
its maximum power to be received. This will increase the risk of
interference with electronic equipment on the aircraft.

Ok, try Googling "do cellphones work in airplanes". You'll find many sources
saying that they do, including this:

"The FCC rule, 47 CFR 22.925, prohibits the use of cell phones after the
aircraft leaves the ground. This rule applies to all aircraft whether
commercial or private or whether powered or simply a balloon. The FCC rule
applies only to cell phones..."

If they work on the ground, so much for 600 MHz+ signals not getting in and
out of an airplane.

A little Googling makes it clear that many, many people have used them. I
didn't spend any time on it, but there is this"

"...the Federal Aviation Administration has conducted studies indicating
that despite the warnings from flight attendants, an average of one to four
cell phone calls are made from commercial flights in the United States."

I remember people talking on cell phones from planes when I was flying a
lot, around 1990. I did it. We all did it, until it was outlawed.


As the quote stated it was from a pilot. That should have not been

channel group. The channel might already be in use on those other towers and
could cause interference with existing calls. It is also possible that the
software controlling the towers could crash.[citation needed] Even if the
software can cope with hearing the same phone on multiple non-adjacent
towers the result at best is an overall decrease in system capacity.

An additional concern is the output power of the mobile handset. Because the
towers might be miles below the aircraft the phone might have to transmit at
its maximum power to be received. This will increase the risk of
interference with electronic equipment on the aircraft.

A cell phone will work inside the plane. Just look at how many calls are
made before push back from the gate. On board the planes, there are pay by
the minute phones. Do not know if they are a cell phone or a radio system
by themselves. I think the passengers were using the phones in the seat
back when they learned of the crashes. Cell phone towers are not designed
to handle 500 mph speeds. I understand in Japan the cell phone system
everyone uses in town are only capable at less than 25 mph.

Right. Wingers are wingers, right or left. The ones on the right seem a lot
dumber, though. d8-)


Yet there seem to be a lot more gun controllers on the left than
creationists on the right.

There seems to be many more dead people at the hands of crazy ass
conservative gun owners than there are at the hand of responsible
liberal AND conservative gun owners.

And it is the crazy ass conservatives who deny that they are the
problem.

That's a video of shooting at rocks.


Actually...ground squirrels

And they did not use a .50 BMG shooting at Osama.

Thia is how a face shot looks like.

So you can tell who this guy is?

And it looks like the round went in from the side, probably under the
left eye. in a very shallow glancing path. FMJ

The cheekbones took out the front of the face as they exited.

Must have been a moderately slow round, probably 7.62x39

Here is something closer

He (Osama) was afterall..hit with a .223 or 5.56 from a M4..more than
likely.
And given that there is no Geneva Convention standards to be met
here..probably a soft point or hollow point. Such are often carried by
Spec Ops guys

Gunner, who has shot far far too many people in the head over the years.
