Welcome back!


BTW, at least you don't have imprint of a motherboard on your forehead like me...


Hows it going Johnny Mnemonic?


Started to think and talk binary...


I dont think you can blame the motherboard for that. I once knew two programmers who would have conversations in code so no one would understand.


I knew two people who could read machine code (i.e. assembler for z80 CPU back in the laste 1980's) from HEX Dump on paper!!!

Hi all,

Oh my...

North Korea executes top official Pak Nam Gi who oversaw currency revaluation

by The Times
Richard Lloyd Parry, Asia Editor

The North Korean official who oversaw last year’s disastrous currency revaluation has been executed by firing squad, according to reports from South Korea.

Pak Nam Gi, the former finance director of the ruling Workers’ Party, was shot in Pyongyang last week, according to the Yonhap news agency and a South Korean newspaper.

Yonhap quoted an unidentified North Korean source saying that the official had been convicted of treason for “ruining the national economy as the son of a big landlord who infiltrated the ranks of revolutionaries”.

It is more likely that he has been made a scapegoat for one of the most unpopular moves by the North Korean regime since the deadly famine of the 1990s.

Mr Pak, who was 77, was once a close aide to Kim Jong Il, the country’s ruler and “Dear Leader”, and often accompanied him on his frequent trips around the country dispensing “on-the-spot guidance” at factories, farms and military units. But Mr Pak disappeared abruptly from the state media in January, two months after the catastrophic revaluation of the North Korean won.

In November all North Koreans were required to swap old won notes with new ones at an exchange rate of 1 to 100, knocking two zeros off their value.

The decree appeared to have two purposes — to control inflation by limiting the amount of cash in circulation, and to destroy the fortunes of black market traders, money changers and others who had been profiting from North Korea’s nascent free market economy.

Because of a cap of 100,000 won per family (£470 at the official exchange rate then), anyone with significant holdings of cash had their savings wiped out.

There were immediate reports of public outrage and confusion at the measure. “Loud sounds of weeping in every house have not ceased since the news was released,” one South Korean news website quoted an inhabitant of the Chinese border city of Sinuiju as saying. “Weeping and fighting between couples has not stopped anywhere. The atmosphere of the city is terrible now.”

Further reports, conveyed by North Koreans using illegal Chinese mobile telephones close to the border, said that intelligence agencies enforcing the crackdown on markets had been attacked and even killed by mobs of traders.

Despite the sufferings and indignities heaped on the people, open unrest and expressions of dissent are extremely rare in North Korea. The fiasco comes at a sensitive time, when the regime appears to be preparing to publicise the succession of Mr Kim, 68, by one of his sons, probably Jong Un, who is in his twenties.

Look whose talking. You dont work, youre in the military.

Jokes aside, I'm loving it so far. Besides learning the ropes and the systems, I'm trying to curb by exuberance to avoid appearing unnaturally enthusiastic.

You? unnaturally enthusiastic? Naahh...

I don't know my commanders ratings , but they should have been good. His name was Raymond Spruance. He survived , but I fired him. I've been having a problem with him, he doesn't seem to like to fight. In a match against the AI he had 3 CA's 2CL's and 6DD's and he went up against a AK. He ran. Three times he refused to engage. Full of fuel and ammo, lot's of op points.


Isn't Spruance a carrier commander?


Cruiser commander turned carrier commander through a strange confluence of circumstances involving Halsey getting a weird rash.

Well, looks like he (Spruance) should have kept his day job in this case.

Ready for my long distance dash to the middle of the heartland! Got my new digital camera and it's gadgets, my laptop and it's respective widgets are packed, and this afternoon my GPS should arrive (UPS and Amazon.com willing!).  



How the back/ass area?


The back is improving , and is no problem if I move relatively slowly.Thanks for asking! My backside has never had a problem , despite Chickenboy's claim to the contrary. One robin does not make a spring , and one minor victory (his only one thus far) does not win a war. OK , so he killed two of my cruisers. We are still very close in points and I've only just begun to get my heavy units,troops and amphib ships. I expect CB will be very quiet about our PBEM for the next couple of turns!


You're forgetting about the 2 x DDs in your butcher's bill.

Propaganda! Lies! That DD of mine that your stinkin' little pig boat put a fish into last turn was scuttled, not sunk!

Tokyo Rose say: "Old man of the sea upset about recent Imperial Japanese naval victory. We sank two carriers, 4 battleships and numerous cruisers and destroyers."

Steve is right, in that has been one of the few bright spots thus far for the IJ. It's hard to rely on SSX minisubs for harbor defense, I can tell you that. As for victories though: I'll take 'em where I can get 'em.

I'm glad Steve is getting more heavy units. I need to cushion my lead in points by sinking or damaging more of his bigger ships. To paraphrase the zombies from "Living Dead II"-BRAINS! SEND MORE COPS!

So you saw the movie too? There was a lot less concern at the time that a carrier commander be an aviator at the time.Halsey got his wings in his late 50's with the promise to Pensacola that he'd never come back or fly a plane again! I don't belive that Fletcher was an aviator. And with all the CV's and CVL's and CVE's rolling off the production line , they would have been hard pressed to give everyone and every TF an aviator with the approriate experince and seniority.


Supposedly there was something to that. Possibly some tropical malady that Halsey had contracted. I dont claim to be a doctor.

Yes, Halsey was one of the few, but there were also a good number of younger officers coming up through the ranks. Also, remember that in USN pre-war operational planning, carriers were held to be distinctly subordinate to the needs and actions of the battle line. I bet that carrier officers and flyboys were held at a similar discount by the naval establishment at large (these are just my thoughts, I have no hard data, please dont ask me to cite my sources. )

I got introduced to the usage tracker today. Good Thread! And the worst part is that the utility we use for conference maintenance (and connection detail tracking) doesnt export in excel format. I guess the tracker and I will get very well acquainted.
