Apropos of that, someone told me today that back in the day, his beta copy of Windows 3.0 would crash about twice an hour, without needing any special code.
Prox fuzes are wonderful things, but they're only as good as the gunners who fire them: if the gunner can't quite figure out where the enemy aircraft is (rather, will be when the shells intersect its flight path), the shells won't be close enough to damage anything, proximity fuzes or not. At that point, all of our anti-aircraft guns were manually aimed and fired, so it would be quite possible to/not/ be hit.
The real problem for the Nips was that their aircraft were obsolete, too few in number (esp. versus our fighter CAP), and flown by untrained pilots.
Yes. Most all of your trainers will have a rear seat for the instructor pilot. Some of them have that rear seat raised so the canopy's bulged upwards, the better to see what the trainee's doing.
Slashdot Mirror
Dear god, I hoped you were joking.
Slashdot's running on 1.3.41.
Nowadays? That's how it was in the '90s.
Except it doesn't, and whoever modded you up is an idiot.
O RLY?
Explain why my non-Aero i855 laptop doesn't work, or why a 915 won't either.
I submit that you're full of shit.
One person's voice against a bunch of retards isn't going to amount to much.
Incidentally, that's why I don't bother writing my Republican congressman anymore.
Also the 18th anniversary of Windows 3.1.

No it doesn't. Try using a WinXP video driver on 7. Won't work.
I've tried this with the i855 laptop-video driver, because 7 doesn't even include a driver, even one that's limited to 2D accel.
I guarantee you it wouldn't work with an ATI or Nvidia driver either.
Now, I /have/ gotten a 3Com 3C905B to work on 7 with a WinXP driver (out of necessity), but only in the 32-bit version.
1992. It's easy for me to remember that because that's the same year Wolfenstein 3D was released.
Also, you're making unwarranted assumptions about the demographics of Slashdot versus the general US population.
You can expect the Pope to forbid his followers from using any Pill-for-men, too.
Pity, because the most over-populated 3rd-world countries (outside of China & India) tend to be Catholic.
Wrong.
I've been reading "Cryptonomicon" recently.

And because our pols lack the stones to raise taxes to pay for anything.
Some of us married men are mature enough (and secure enough in our manhoods) to not give a shit if someone sees us in public carrying pads or tampons.
These days?
I'll take "Internet Explorer" for $500, Alex.
OTOH the Journal isn't what it used to be before Murdoch bought it out and had it began spewing conservative propaganda.
Mmm... Laphroaig.
Because of the bright moving light in my peripheral vision, you self-absorbed shitbag.
You mean a Slashdot editor posted something sensational, and people didn't RTFM and believed the summary/headline? Never!
The designers will have to keep the display in mind - for example, a Solitaire game would only refresh after you make a move, and same for Sudoku.
Tetris would probably be right out, though.
Dell sells full-size Displayport-to-DVI cables for something like $10 to $15 when you buy them with an Optiplex computer.
Yes. Most all of your trainers will have a rear seat for the instructor pilot. Some of them have that rear seat raised so the canopy's bulged upwards, the better to see what the trainee's doing.
Ah, that'll be the trainer variant, then.
Come, come, that's just kdawson covering his ass. It sure didn't stop him from posting yet *another* inflammatory troll, did it?
