.... having the whole thing hidden away in a desk drawer is better still. A wireless mouse, keybord, and flat screen monitor that is easily tucked away - much better in my opinion.
The Super Hornet is a very differnt aircraft as pointed out. It was to have the desigation F/A-32, but due to the political atmosphere in Congress at the time, it was given the designation F/A-18 E/F/G - and given leading edge extentions and similar geometry to make it look like the same aircraft as the A/B/C/D.
They are old. Not too old, but old, which makes them expensive to maintain. They require something like 5 times the maintainence as an 18.
In addition, they are a separate platform form the now ubiquitous F/A-18. There is much commonality across the entire F/A-18 family - not so much from the Hornet to Super Hornet (although there is a little even there).... but the 14 requires an entirely different part/supply chain right on down to the vendors. Avionics are becoming hard to find. Corrosion and fatigue issues are really starting to crop up in the Tomcats.
All in all, it is just time for them to stand down, form a safety as well as maintainence and cost perspective. A few will stick around - some will still fly at Pax River and other NAWC/AD sites. There is talk of NASA taking two or three.
Not true. In the previous race Saurbrey lost by under 500 votes. The shift has been happening for years, and the extreme eastern and western parts of the state are very red (and very rural).
This is referred to as "zone pricing." It is a prime example of how oil companies are gouging, despite their pleas of "the market determines the price."
Eat food cultivated, fertilized, or transported using petroleum Use plastic products (or any other product shipped to you in an oil burning vechicle) Fly on an airplane for holiday or to see family...
The list goes on. Congrats for biking about.... but you are almost as much an oil slut as the rest of us.
...similar to their (in)famous debug version of the new operator (IIRC generates guard bytes set to 0xCDCDCDCD).
While they are doubtlessly not releasing images with debug info, they might be using an overriden new operator that does something similar (for a variety of reasons).
It is hard to say, but this type of error - while *not* acceptable, *is* understandable,

Pwned.

Moore's Law is really nothing of the sort - it was simply an empirical observation and prediction made by Moore that has so far been very consistant.
No - it ended in 1975 by most accounts.
atleast as far as genetic screening goes, and the eventual outlawing of tobacco (in the U.S.)
Dunno about six fingered piano players tho.
hey if that is the future then sign me up!
F-14's actually did see service in Vietnam. (Operation Frequent Wind in 1975).
However, there were no air to air engagements.
F-16's were lost in Bosnia/Kosovo.
F-18's were lost in the Gulf War.

DU has about the same chemical toxicity as lead.
It isn't very radioactive. The reason they try to clean it up afterwards is due to the chemical, not radioactive, contamination.
EA-6B is (currently) the louded jet in the Fleet.

Meanwhile even the best code generators, well, suck.
After all, a 767 to shelp two geeks around (oh, and the hookers to fill their California Kings) certainly won't affect this.
Not that Paul Allen is any better.
Create a game that flat out allows cheating (then it wouldn't be 'cheating' I suppose).
Hell, even publish an API for them.... may the best hack win!
Even Kirk was a cheater!

I suppose you don't:
Eat food cultivated, fertilized, or transported using petroleum
Use plastic products (or any other product shipped to you in an oil burning vechicle)
Fly on an airplane for holiday or to see family...

Just the CGI to deptct the Fleet of Worlds in a way that does them justice would be... out of this world. Heehee.
I suspect the effect budget would be staggering, even by todays standards.
Which is precisely why it would rock.
"Don't be evil" went out the window the second they became billionaires.
No, I am thinking of The Onion.
