The major reason why the USAF exists as a separate entity, rather than still as the USAAF, was that the commanding general was functioning at a level equivalent to the Chief of Staff yet was subordinate to him.
It depends on the resolution of the drone's camera feed. The reason snipers need to be more psychologically hardened than other soldiers that they have an up close and personal view of the death of every person they kill. They get to see, clearly, the effects of the bullet entering the target. Most other soldiers do not have that curse. They shoot someone and most will just see the person fall over, if that due to needing to keep cover.
Drones serve to raise normal soldier up closer towards what snipers have to go through so psychological screening may be necessary for them.
It would be interesting to know what breeds they tested. The article pictures shows golden retrievers and border collies. Basically the two of the dog breeds which are among the best and most domesticated and socialized to humans. I would like to see this research done with some of the more independent breeds, like siberian huskies, and if they also have the same responses.
Um. What the fuck are you talking about? If you have a game disk in the PS3 when you boot it up, the system will focus on the game disk option. If you boot the PS3 without a disk, it focused on the PS store and network options. If you put a game disk in, the menu will focus on the game sub menu and auto-load the game.
Then you have the major problem of digging anything in Germany which is every time you dig into the ground near a city you end up uncovering an unexploded ordinance left over from the war. Going underground is at least an order of magnitude more expensive than going overhead, if not closer to 2 orders of magnitude.
I'm comforted by the fact that when the alien overlords destroy humanity and conquer earth we'll have left plenty of booby traps for them as they dig for resources.
Here's what happens to vehicles as they leave an assembly plant.
1. Vehicle goes on a rail car. 2. Rail car gets transported to the depot nearest a dealership that can handle offloading. 3. Vehicle gets places on a car carrier. 4. Car carrier transports vehicle to dealership. 5. Vehicle is sold to customer.
There's a huge cost savings that can be injected between step 1 and 2 with upfitting a vehicle with after-production upgrades. Most of the auto-makers engage in a program called ship-thru. Vehicles come out of the plant and are transported to a nearby company capable of upfitting the vehicle with equipment. That vehicle is then returned back to the assembly plant where it's loaded on the vehicles. A number of dealerships will order trucks and vans and have them upfitted by an upfitter prior to being shipped by rail to the dealership. This is a value added service that is cheaper for the end customer because instead of dealing with individual pricing he gets to deal with the bulk pricing that the dealership gets to command as well as needed to avoid any additional and further costs in gas, transportation, and time.
Risking getting downmodded by lurking boycotters....
Filtering out the "fuck beta" comments. I found the comments on slashdot to be saner and more useful on the whole. I'm questioning what loss slashdot might suffer from losing those user because to me it seems like a lot of the acerbic toxicity has gone and disappeared.
He's not right in the least bit. It would require perfect knowledge of how the stock price would react to the layoffs and their scope. There are two outcomes from the layoff. Either stock prices rise or they drop. The use was assuming the layoffs would indicate that stock prices would rise thus "screwing" investors out of value. However in the other hand had the layoffs been done before the buyout then the accusation would be that they were done to screw over the shareholders.
Cash flow is similar but different from profit. It's even more important than profit. In general, your cash flow is a much better indicator of the healthiness of the business because it represents the ability to purchase goods and make investments. Dell recently made a lot of acquisitions which cuts severely into their cash flow. When you hear that they're trying to maximize cash flow there's trying to recover a drop, likely significant, in cash flow due to all those acquisitions.
Cash flow represents the company's ability to fund its operations. Let's look at an example. Let's say a company has $5,000,000 in cash. They produce widgits which sell for $10,000 and cost $5,000 to produce meaning each unit sold has a profit of $5,000. Right now the company has the ability to produce 1,000 widgits a year and has currently has 250 widgits built and delivered on net terms (a profit of $1,250,000). The company is seeing demand for their widgits and they can't produce enough to meet the demand. So they get a loan to expand their operation by another 100 units and spend $4,000,000 of their cash. They now have $1,000,000 in cash and the capacity for 1,100 widgits a year. The problem the company has is that it can only produce 200 widgits with its on hand cash which is only 18% of their annual production. Translated that means they can run the business a maximum production for just over 2 months. At this point its entirely on accounts receivables to hound the buyers for them to pay for the widgit. That $1,250,000 could run production for another couple months and if they fail to get those payments in the company is going to have to lower production to preserve cash (taking loans for operating expenses is not usually a good idea). That means fewer units produced which means fewer employee work hours which means employee hours are cut or employees are laid off.
Those stats show what I was thinking when I saw the article. That it's not a drop in the base of IE but rather an increase in the number of platforms with browsers (mobiles).
Even reading the article doesn't make that line make any more sense. They say that evidence showed the asteroids formed all over the solar system and the remnants that failed to become planets ended up in the asteroid belt. I just don't get how surface temperature has anything to do with indicating where the asteroid may have come from.
It's no where close to $200k. It was $200k value with 52 titans destroyed. They editted it up to 92 so it's about $353k in losses. The losses were split 55-37 so that means each side lost $211k against $142k so the net for CFC was about $70k of military power advantage over their foes.
Very well, I shall ruin the joke by explaining it.
My original response was not serious but rather intentionally absurd, in line with your own absurd joke. You, erroneously, took it as a statement of truth. To that I responded with "I've got a bridge in Canada to sell you" which is an idiom traditionally opened with the line "If you belief that." I believe you correctly saw the idiom but since you had believed my original reply to be serious rather than a joke you incorrectly interpreted it as suggesting that I was calling what you were saying bullshit. I then responded with a quote by the video game character Mune, from Chrono Trigger, where he pretends to be the wind and wooshes about thus suggesting that my comments wooshed by you as per standard when someone doesn't get a joke.
But then temperatures rise, electric cars become prevalent and then temperatures drop and they cease working. Then we have to break out all the gas powered cars until the temperature rises enough that electric works again.

I don't know. I would rate the AC-130 Spectre as the greatest plane ever. A-10 is a runner up though.

Security expert Bruce Schneier was found dead in his home. The cause of death is unknown but police are investigating possible foul play.

Cue the cries of racism.

I thought the allies, and later Russia, broke up the partitions of Germany? You mean they still behave that way?
Some dealers have value added service but that's mostly restricted to trucks and vans.
They also, to an extent, greatly simplify the logistics of warranty issues for the manufacturers.
It does happen.

We have gender neutral pronouns. It, one, and you.
I can't stand using one anymore. I keep thinking of flying plant people and floating jellyfish.

As Mune, from Chrono Trigger, once said, "I'm the wind! Whoosh!"
I have a bridge in Canada to sell you.

This can't possibly be true.
Yes. Yes it would.
