Sorry, I should have said "Windows 95." That was Photoshop 5.5 in 1999. Pagemaker was out for Windows 95, I missed it, my bad. QuarkXPress didn't work with Windows 95 till '97
Jonathan Ives has been out on the PR trail with Steve Jobs ever since the iMac first came out, Google "iphone designer" and he comes up, not Steve Jobs.
Nope, mid to late 90s were the black years, the two sectors that kept Apple going were graphic artists/DTP and education. Think back on the time when Photoshop, Pagemaker, Painter and Quark didn't run on Windows. Apple had some inroads in scientific and lab computing too, my Urologist at Mayo Clinic Rochester was on the technology board there, he said they had the largest number of Power Macs running on a single campus outside of Apple in 1997.
From 1994 to 1998 those sectors kept Apple alive.
Apple Fanboys really didn't kick off as a consumer movement till the iPod and iPhone, at least thats my view of it from owning Macintoshes for the last 25 years. Oh and alot of those mid to late 90s Power Macs sucked ass.
He takes at least one VC-25 and a backup, sometimes the other VC-25 or the C-32 and at least one C-17 for support wherever he goes somewhere. If he goes transcontinental there will be USAF or USAF Reserve tanker support to refuel all of those aircraft.
When he flies on Marine One, they use two, one as a decoy.
I agree with you about China, India and of course South American countries like Brazil, but most of Sub-Saharan Africa is far worse than anything in the Middle East.
Nigeria, the Congo, Somalia, the Great Lakes War, Sierra Leone, Liberia, all those places make even Saudi Arabia and Iran look like freedom loving vacation spots.
Egypt is a secular nationalistic state like Turkey, Libya, Syria or Israel is.
Egypt does have a Muslim majority with a large Christian minority, like how Israel has the Jewish majority with the Muslim minority, but the Egyptian government is secular and Nationalistic.
If the Egyptian government is overthrown the fear of Egyptian Christians, secular Egyptians, Israelis and the US is that the Muslim Brotherhood (Al-Ikhwn) will rise to power within an Islamist government.
When this VW goes into production, in whatever form, just like the Volt, if its sold in the US then it's MPG will figure into VW's CAFE.
Now I don't know if the US measures VW's CAFE as just VW, or as a whole with VW AG. VW AG includes supercars like the Bugatti, Lambos, exotic Audis and of course the Tourareg.
"On May 19, 2009 President Barack Obama proposed a new national fuel economy program which adopts uniform federal standards to regulate both fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions while preserving the legal authorities of DOT, EPA and California. The program covers model year 2012 to model year 2016 and ultimately requires an average fuel economy standard of 35.5 miles per US gallon (6.63 L/100 km; 42.6 mpg-imp) in 2016 (of 39 miles per gallon for cars and 30 mpg for trucks), a jump from the current average for all vehicles of 25 miles per gallon."
And with battery powered vehicles like this how long will they last?
I have a perfectly good Chevy GMT400 pickup that will be 20 years old this spring and only has 70,000 miles on it.
It's been good in the hot and cold of South Dakota, the rain of Oregon and now the cold of Alaska.
This VW is carbon fibre, something which there are questions about safety for commercial airplanes like the B-787 and A-350, we don't know how well it's going to stand up to weather over time.
GM, Volkswagen, etc are pushing these super high MPG figures to tweak the CAFE numbers so they can keep making cars like the Corvette, Tourareg, Phaeton and for Volkswagen's parent company, Volkswagen AG - Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti.
I believe the role of responding to artillery falls to the MRLS, so the Army should just return fire with a couple rockets of cluster bomb submunitions.
It would only be a military role if in the future the US bases were militarized.
The US and the Soviets pushed these bases and the treaty to keep force projection from happening, therefore they aren't military roles, but political and scientific.
It's like the American Army in the American West, the Custer Expedition into the Black Hills was a military projecting power, but the withdrawal of that doesn't make illegal mining settlements of Lead, Deadwood and Belle Fourche military outposts. They were commercial "forts", just like the bases in Antarctica are scientific, not military.
But you better hope you can keep them from changing their minds for 5-10 years, in the US at least. I don't know about Sweden, couldn't find anything with a quick search.
US and Russia (formerly Soviet) bases on Antarctica are there to disrupt the territorial claims of the UK, France, Argentina, South Africa and Chile. Thats why both the US and Soviet Union (later Russia and Ukraine) reserve the right to make a territorial claim at a later date but never have.
The US bases aren't military bases, they don't operate under UCMJ, don't have military commanders and law enforcement are carried out by Deputy US Marshals. Bases down there don't have troops assigned to them, no military equipment so how can they be considered to have a military role?
Are the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah or Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station in Canada carrying out a military role? Does Canada have to worry about the Americans going up there in the winter? Of course not.
"The Antarctic Treaty prohibits any military activity in Antarctica, including the establishment of military bases and fortifications, military manoeuvers, and weapons testing. Military personnel or equipment are permitted only for scientific research or other peaceful purposes. The only documented military land manoeuvre was Operation NINETY by the Argentine military."
Operation 90 was in 1965 when ten Argentine soldiers marched to the South Pole.
When you detect the launch from the Moon you nuke the crap out of the nations with militarized Moon bases.
If India and China have military Moon bases while the United States, EU and Russian Federation don't, then the US, EU and Russia will pact together and detection of a launch from the Moon, and it will be detectable, is the trigger for a nuclear strike.
In the hours or day it takes those rocks to fall down on Earth the major cities of the Moon Powers are vaporized and in the long term the Earth Powers win the Lunar War.

Wrong. Windows is not a brand of computer, when it comes to computer sales by a company, Apple is doing pretty damned good, at least in the US.

I work in IT here in Alaska. Not the government but a quasi-governmental agency, so state benefits, school year schedule, here in Anchorage.
There are alot of jobs, both with the State and the Universities, and if you have a Federal security clearance there are a ton more up here.
We moved up here when the wife got a job, I was offered three jobs out of five interviews within two weeks.

Yea, the Egyptian HAM site is hosted at a site for HAMs here in the States

Just wondered because we have them up here in Alaska and they are legal down in Oregon, Washington, Montana, etc.
I run Nokian studded on our front wheel drive car that has traction control, even heavy ice isn't a problem.
Here is the website for the amateur radio operators of Egypt organization
http://www.qsl.net/egyptham/
Their call signs are - SUA-SUZ, 6A-6B, SSA-SSM
And wikipedia says theres about 113, really easy for the police and security forces to lock down.

Where are you that studded tires are against the law?
They did a steel plane, the SST, the Boeing 2707 was going to be stainless steel like the North American XB-70s were.
While the 2707 never flew, the stainless steel XB-70s did fly

We have 300+ years of Natural Gas, 100-150+ years of Coal, by 2100 the population will be declining.
We are better off dumping money in Thorium cycle reactor technology, solar and nano technology than wasting it on the militarization of the Moon.
When you detect the launch from the Moon you nuke the crap out of the nations with militarized Moon bases.

What military bases are in Antarctica?
The Saud family was not put in place by the United States, they conquered what is now Saudi Arabia fair and square on their own.
