think of it this way then: skinheads... haircut of choice is the H&T; military... haircut of choice is the H&T

the next comment works both ways...

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it must be a duck.

people see the H&T and immediately think one or the other, and either way, the combination of those two groups of people is disgusting

to gadean:

yeah, my dad is a 59 radar instructor. you must really be gung ho if you had a blast in the stumps lol

Honestly, I don't think I've ever percieved someone who has H&T that way. I think you're digging too deep for that. I thank the military for all their services, but it's just a haircut... why can't other people have it? That's all I'm saying.

As a US Marine I get angry when I see civilians with a military regulation haircut. Our way of living shouldn't be a fashion statement. Especially for those who have no idea what we go through on a day to day basis. It's an insult to us to see a nasty civilian walking around immitating something they are not. (and yes, just about any good Marine can point you out a mile away)

However, if you must know, it's 0 on the sides (not bare skin as someone previously mentioned. It's supposed to look like stubble) and up to 3" on the top without a fade. In order to maintain my military appearance I get my haircut at least once a week but I try and get it every 4 days.

Sir, who, if your truely are a Marine, do you represent?

Sir, who do you defend with your life?

There are men in this country who can not be Marines or any Armed forces.

You Sir, are way out of line!

Not only does your attitude show disrespect for the American people (nasty civilian) much more so to the Marine Corps.

Wow, ignorant people really make alot of noise...

First of all that haircut was invented before the birth of Jesus. The roman military were the first to wear it has a group. They would cut their hair that way because the helmets they wore were very hot in the sun and this haircut would allow them to keep a cool head. The marines never invented this haircut.

Also, this haircut does not represent the marines in any way. It is also presently worn by almost every soldier in almost any army in the world, so it's not exclusive to the marines. Another place were this haircut is a standard : mental institutions, orphanages and russian prisons. It's a practical haircut, nothing to do with style, statements of any kind or aestetics. That crazy guy probably thinks construction workers copy the marines because they wear steel toe boots.

If you are in the marines and do not respect civilians, free speech and basic rights, you are not in the marines for the right reasons. You are an ignorant gorilla with a gun, you are what is called a poser, and that is a real insult to what the marines stand for.

You missed something. Try reading the thread.

Someone doesn't want nasty civilians looking like soldiers.

So a civilian wearing a haircut that fits into military regulations constitutes them attempting to make the military a fashion statement?

We wear sneakers while running in the military. Perhaps people who wear sneakers are trying to copy us? The military issues recruits thick glasses. Obviously, anyone who wears thick plastic sport glasses is trying to make a fashion statement out of the military lifestyle. What about busboys, airline pilots, etc? Many of those jobs have uniforms resembling those found in the military, military schools, etc. Are they all trying to make a "fashion statment" out of the military lifestyle?. Or what about people who like to make their bed with hospital corners, keep their room neat, wear pants/t-shirt/socks that match the color of a military uniform, shave their face every day, stand up straight while walking? Is anyone who does any of those things insulting and degrading your "military lifestyle"?

The answer is no. So would ya kindly realize that every so often a civilian's dress or manner will happen to co-incide with what military people look like, and buzz off?

That sounds pretty ridiculous and cocky. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. You're wait out of line on this subject.

If you can hear me way back there in 2006, I agree that you are acting like you own that haircut when of course no one can own a haircut lol.

I guess even though I wear a uniform, and I "Serve and Protect" my building, and I have a cropped haircut, I'm a "nasty civ"?

I find your attitude very discouraging. In the Security, Police and Canadian Army Cadets, you, the people with chips on their shoulder, who join just to have "power" are called power trippers. Why don't you go back to your hole you crawled from and stop giving the Men and Women from around the world who Serve and Protect and put their lives on the line (not somthing I do, but I serve a purpose by doing a job the Police don't have to...) a bad name.

Edit: I should point out, I usualy do metal-on-skin shave (i.e. I don't use a guard when I use my razor)

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
