1 out of 277 in Desert Storm, 1 shot down in the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and 11 others lost in Iraq with 10 lost in Afghanistan. Those losses include weather and mechanical failure.
Thats 1.7 lost a year in Iraq, 1.11 lost a year in Afghanistan.
Drive to the forward edge of battle, fly off, land on a roof, kick out team. Or the team fast ropes down.
With a flying vehicle you don't have to just fly down the street grid.
Are there no civil aviation airfields where you live? We have two here in Anchorage, right in the city, its quite easy for something with wings to avoid narrow streets.
This. Go down to a Starbucks post anonymously and dish.
Their network is down, 2.4 billion dollars had everything running through a single DIMM in a netgear box they got off Ebay, they won't figure out who it was.
Did the dude from the City of SF design this network so that if he wasn't there to SSH in with a modem he had hidden in his toaster over, the ram in a SAN would bring the whole network down?
Naw, I didn't anything as an insult about the US, its all good, I got punchy because I'm the only tech at work today.
Funny one about the age of the US...
I was in Bolzano with a couple of friends, a Dutchman and a Spanish girl, we were in the town square and theres a great Gothic Cathedral there and the Dutch guy asked, "there, is there anything that old or beautiful in America?"
I looked at them both and said, "In 1520 the greatest city outside of China was in Mexico, the fucking Spanish burned it down, and what didn't burn they ripped down and made into churches, so no we don't have anything that old in America anymore."
They didn't rip on the newness of the US anymore;)
The Europeans arrived and destroyed the bulk (96%) of the old settlements in what is now Mexico and the American Southwest, the old buildings that remain are the very few that survived the Europeans.
Poster I replied do didn't ask for buildings in continuous use, but for oldest building.
The Taos Pueblo and Acoma Pueblo have been in use continuously since 900-1000 CE, so 1100-1000 years.
Portland is like that, Seattle is like that, especially the older parts of the city like Ballard (I know Ballard residents consider themselves to be in Ballard), hell Anchorage is small and accessible on foot or bike (except in the snow and -20).
You know that the most car centric city in the world is Reykjavík?
Since I lived for years in Israel and Holland yea, its safe to say I'm been outside the US.
San Diego to Tel Aviv, very similar in architecture and age of the buildings.
Portland's urban core was not built or heavily remodeled after the Second World War, I wasn't comparing LA or suburban New Jersey, I said Portland to Atlanta to Tel Aviv.
The reply I got when I was in Prince George was something about "guns and Americans, no thank you." When someone mentioned how similar Washington and Oregon were to BC and if someday they might all merge.
Oregon and Washington are liberal on the I-5 corridor between Everett and Eugene, once you get past Eugene, even across the I-5 in Springfield, they turn super conservative.
Nebraska and the Dakotas are socially liberal compared to rural Oregon and Washington.
There are some pockets of liberalness outside the I-5 corridor, like Bend and Anacortes, but the rest of Oregon, Washington, Idaho are far more conservative than Alabama, I'd put them up there with rural Utah.
Its easier to train someone with "it's right there, just like Windows", rather than "well on Windows it was there, but now it's going to be up here and behind this there and see, click."
Now, I could see the Yukon as the US, it seemed more like Alaska or Montana. Same goes for north-east BC, more conservative, more independent.
I understand the Canadian federal government doesn't give much to those parts of Canada for things like roads and infrastructure. The contrast between the Alcan in the Yukon and just on the other side of the border in Alaska is dramatic.

Moonbat is a far left crazy, they've been using the term for about 10-12 years.
I've not been there since 1990, but I know where the Lincoln Memorial is. End of the National Mall, west of the Washington Monument.
However I don't know where to park.
And Google Maps is giving me FDR's memorial for a lincoln memorial search.
This works pretty well

They don't get shot down that easily.
Apaches don't go down that often.

Like keep up infrastructure with only 34,000 people?
Guess thats one way where the US system works better.

USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) are two things they build that don't break easily.

Sweet Zombie Jesus.
If the RAM in our 8TB Netgear SAN fries it doesn't blow up my office, what the hell are they and Northrup Grumman doing?
its all good, have a good weekend if you don't have to work.

No, Florida rednecks and Oregon rednecks are not the same, I lived around both.
Munich residents and Tel Aviv residents have alot more in common.
Munich resident's grandfather had a hand in putting Tel Aviv resident's grandmother in a KZ back in '42.
But seriously, both are industrial high tech cities with alot of cultural and historical links, Portland and Atlanta not as much.
I've been to all four, it was more "different" being in Atlanta from Portland than Munich from Tel Aviv.
Hell, Anchorage is far more different than Seattle or Eugene (city of similar population).
Thats my 2 cents on the thing.
I'm still not going to compare Portland/Atlanta/Bakersfield to a European city ;)
You can still get the networks and pay networks, the days of unencrypted backhauls stopped, what about 1986-90, so you bought a box and subscription.

I didn't compare the US to Holland.
Portland to Atlanta to Tel Aviv. None of those cities are in Europe.
The only time I mentioned Europe for comparing cities was this
"Getting on a plane in Portland OR and getting off it in Atlanta and going downtown felt more different than when I went from Tel Aviv to Munich."
You are the one with the fixation on Europe, learn to stay on topic.
The conservatives make up about 40-50% of the Oregon/Washington.
Look at 2008, no county went more than 50-60% Obama

In 2004, Kerry only won Oregon by 4.16% and in 2000 Gore won by 0.44%

Oldest buildings in the US 1260 years old.

Really? Salt Lake City is the same as Portland or Seattle? Not hardly.
Office drones is another word.
Its easier to train someone with "it's right there, just like Windows", rather than "well on Windows it was there, but now it's going to be up here and behind this there and see, click."
Because a user who has used Windows all their professional life won't whine as much if they know where crap is to click on.
