Adding an arrestor wire hook means significantly improving the 'structural integrity' (had to get that one in!) of the fuselage to take the immense forces required to get a warplane to go from 120+ knots to ~25 knots in 10 metres. Never had the pleasure myself but am reliably informed its like 'a kick in the groin, but all over'.

InTru3D - er

WoW, Intel have devoloped an amazing piece of tech, unfortunately it looks like Zalman (and a few others) have stolen their idea, traveled back in time and managed to release 'other' 3D polarised lens screens before them, the tards.

Been running a Zalman Trimos 3D monitor for several months now, well produced vids really do jump out at you, and Race Driver GRID just has to b e seen to be believed!

Plus it comes with a rather fetching pair of clip on lenses for us spectaacle wearers!
