A long time ago, someone (I didn't save who), did a mod of the XM-60 Silaceous Cored Armor prototype.

Recently a declassified paper on it has shown up on DTIC here:

And it includes results of test firings.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

Is this icon database available to the public like the old one was?

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

If you wish to add stuff here or in your own thread feel free oragus

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

I am just curious. I lost all of my work that I have done over the years and have been trying to track some of it down that I may have posted. I have gotten most I have posted here already, but I know there are more out there. The PC and external hard drive back up I had both have failed. I don't have $1200 to get the PC hard drive and/or external hard drive repaired and data extracted from it right now. I remember I thought it was Mark that had a site that I posted on as well back in the day. That was why I was asking.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

Ah sorry - I misunderstood.

Yes I believe Mark(Sheppard) does have a site still and it is available (here:http://www.alternatewars.com/Games/SP/SPanthers.htm)

Unsure how much of the Icon database still exists - I know he was trying /thinking of resurrecting it.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

No worries. Thank you.

The database was similar to Wikipedia. Any one could contribute. I remember seeing a Panther with a 75L100 main gun on there. It was developing nicely.

Just like if anyone can still access the old Yahoo groups, can you point me to those. I have tried what I remember and no luck logging in. I know there are icons on there too.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

:(

What specifically is the problem? Describe it in as much detail as you can possible.

Yeah, I tried a wiki-based icon database for a bit -- I eventually deleted it from my website, because I didn't secure it well enough and spammers were using it to post porn and other unsavory things on it; and I went "YIKES" and nuked it.

I have a lot of stuff saved though. Let me start an Oragus thread.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

About a year ago, I went on a deep trawl of the surviving Yahoo groups I had access to, and saved what I could.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

Well, if you want a good laugh, here you go. Here is how the PC crashed. I was cleaning the dust out of the CPU fans and cooling fins. Being a Dad of 3 girls, I got called away for a minute. Came back and caught my dog peeing in my open case and he fried the whole thing! I tried salvaging what I could, but the HDs wouldn't work when I connected them to my replacement PC.

My external HD, shortly after that incident stopped working. I took it in to get fixed and I was informed the internal components failed and it would need to be rebuilt so it would spin the disc for data extraction. $1200 price tag!

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

Your efforts are greatly appreciated Mark. Thank you. When I get to my PC I'll grab all those .zip files and see what we got.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

I have grabbed the .zip files and there are some goodies in them for sure. Thanks again.

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

Man's best friend strikes again! :shock:

I know a dog just like that. Bloody things ;).

Re: Misc. Icons and Pics
 

Don't laugh. It almost happened to me, thanks to once again, Dogs!

I took my dogs out for a walk, and when I got back I turned on the kitchen sink to give them some fresh water -- hot and humid outside.

I go away thinking I've turned off the water. About 20 minutes later, my roomie comes by and starts yelling at me. Turns out I didn't turn the water off. The sink had filled up and flooded over onto the kitchen floor.

I curse, get the wet\dry shop vac and start vacuuming up water. Once that's done, I go downstairs to see if any flooded down. BAD NEWS, I find that it flooded down into the basement...including my computer room. :shock:

I frantically remove everything of importance....

To make a long story short, I got really lucky and only lost

A Keyboard that had gotten dripped onto -- replaced with a spare.

Tentatively estimated casualties:

Uninterruptible Power Supply, have to assume it's bad. It was near the splash radius with an open grid for cooling on top.

SD Card Reader. Was Soaked, will not even attempt to use it anymore. as I can't risk data corruption.

My dignity -- Roomate was pissed.

Lessons for future situations:

1.) Avoid cases with open grilles on the top. While great for cooling, they can admit water from above. Nothing happened...THIS TIME. but Lesson learned for a future PC build.

2.) Backups need to be in a totally different structure. My backups, which I made two weeks ago before I went on a one week long vacation at the beach (I was afraid of someone stealing my computer while I was gone for a whole week), were located inside a drawer in the same room that was slightly flooded. I'll have to get a safe deposit box offsite at a bank for backups.

Nice on the PLS trucks, I drove them a lot. Love those trucks.
