Planning For 80-Year Old B-52s

Posted by Hemos on from the keep-'em-going dept.

Merry_B.Buck writes "The B-52 Stratofortress, famous for its carpet bombing (or, as the Pentagon prefers, "long sticking") was designed in the 1940s to carry boxcar-sized atomic bombs. This Fast Company analysis describes how the US plans to keep these planes -- the youngest of which was built in 1962 -- flying until 2040. "

      Logicism is the view that (some or all of) mathematics can be reduced to (formal) logic, and it is often explained as a two-part thesis. First, it consists of the thesis that all mathematical truths can be translated into logical truths or, in other words, that the vocabulary of mathematics constitutes a proper subset of that of logic. Second, it consists of the thesis that all mathematical proofs can be recast as logical proofs or, in other words, that the theorems of mathematics constitute a proper subset of those of logic. In Bertrand Russell's words, it is the logicist's goal "to show that all pure mathematics follows from purely logical premises and uses only concepts definable in logical terms"

    "replacing. B-52's and P-3's are examples."
    Huh? I replaced my P-3 and bought an Athlon 1600+ and believe, it's much faster :)
