I wish, but, No, politics has decided that boats will now be named after states, like battleships. The Los Angeles (SSN 688)class were the first to break the tradition, named after cities like cruisers were/are. Then the Ohio's (SSBN 726) were named after states. Congress critters wil vote for something named after their state or a city therin, but not a fish. We helped with the SS 236 because Chicago was going to move jer to a different pier and the Vets wanted to do it under her own power, they did. We all owe those guys a big thanks for what they did, then and in WW II.
Thats right, sometimes refered to as the Silversides 2. The 100th Nuclear powered sub. I was there from 77 to 80, up north, the Med. All the fun places. Cramped, but a great crew. We arranged for some parts from the original (SS236) to be overhauled when the SubVets of WW II had there convention in Norfolk in 79. The tradition is kept alive through another generation.
I don't know if there is any real scientific value to this flight or not. But shooting a hobbists rocket into space is just cool. These folks are following in the footsteps of Goddard and the rest of the rocket pioneers. Not a bad path at all, they might even find something new. I hope they have fun, and everything works.
Probably, thats why test pilot is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. The people that take on that task know the risks and accept them. These are dedicated people who think they can beat the odds, and most of the time they do! They are responsible for making sure that every advance in flight becomes safe and reliable if possible.
It really is the only option, but reading the article it appears they are building a whole new facility in open land near WSMR, not on the range. I thought they would be allowed to use Northrop Strip where the shuttle landed. I guess security says keep everyone off base, considering the research going on there it makes sense. This still gives the competitors access to the reasearch people in the area and a large base of outside contractors and facilities. These are things available in few areas in that concentration. There has to be around 500 retired engineers from various space and weapons programs in the area.
That is HP's biggest problem, non-standard, proprietary parts. You can't really work on them to fix anything at a reasonable price because the parts are so damn expensive. Dell's going the same route with more and more of the parts they use. Remember when Dell used an off the shelf Gigabyte motherboard? That was only about 10 years ago. Those boxes were easy and cheap to fix.
For gaming there are only 2 choices:
1. Do it yourself.
2. Local white box guy who games.
And besides the original comment bitched about using the term solar cells instead of photo voltaic cells. Popula misuse of dolphin makes people think that a dolphin is a mammal, it IS a fish. That is reclassifying a species do to stupidity.
That is the Hawian name for dolphin. In the atlantic and caribbean it is a dolphin. The USN Submarine Qualification pin has two dolphins and a diesel boat, and is called dolphins. That all got confused in popular terminology in the 60's because of Flipper and they have been called wrong ever since.
Yes I have a set of Dolphins,I earned them in the 70's. Look up a pre 65 encyclopedia at the library if you doubt me. I'm going by the late 50's Brittanica.
When these get to market it will really hurt the utilitiy companies. Revenge is fun. The amount of power that could be produced in southern NM alone is huge. Less than 8 inches of rain a year and a min of 250 cloudless days/year? Wow. But not till more efficient cells are available. I hope the get another 50% better by the time they get to market.
What you call it in the privacy of your own home is none of our business. Just like what you do with it.
Common usage is caused by the media so get used to solar cell. Hell they have been calling the bottle nosed porpoise a dolphin for 4o years because of a stupid TV show. So don't expect accuracy.
It's either that or more endless blathering BS. Promo's, threats and all the other read me trash that 90% never look at.
Now the real question is will it eliminate the redundant self bloating log and temp file mess. There is no reason to have 3+ copies of every temp and log file. I swear XP could fill a 40GB hard drive in a year with that self bloating crap.
You are correct, I think that anyone should think twice about M$ generosity. You just know the shysters will be knocking on your door soon. I think MS did something similar in the Win 3.11 days but I'm not sure.
Even with lightspeed, with a distant target you need to lead it. Just like a shotgun with birds or clay targets, if you aim where it is, you missed. The idea is to aim where it will be.
If the missle has reached warhead separation, your screwed. This is catch them in boost and guidance phases. If shot down early enough the warhead(s) don't asrm and just punch a small hole in the ground.
Win Me proved that M$ still doesn't get it. It was the worst thing since Win 3.0, total junk. They are quite capable of throwing out garbage and getting people to pay for something "new" thats much worse than what they had. Remember Win 95 vs 3.11?
And Longhorn will be no different, anyone that buys any M$ product before the release of SP1 for that product is a sucker. What other company cons people into paying them to be beta testers?
The threat of votes in November for the opposition is actually heard by most politicians. If you tell them this bill is bad and they don't listen? Vote em out. I strongly support writing them regularly to let them know where you stand on the issues. They do pay attention, more often than you might think.
It also helps to use a/. type sig like: PS I'm a veteran and I vote.

There's something wrong with that? My sub made pretty good pizza.

dream this crap up just amaze me. If common sense and brains were dynamite, could they produce enough energy to blow one nose.

Ahhh a man after my own heart. When all else fails, get a bigger freakin hammer! I love it!
Works on PC's also.
Didn't he do the Toonland set in Roger Rabbit?
Yeah, I think I saw it when reading one of my kids to sleep, 12+ years ago.

Only in resturants, ask the fishermen.
Timing is part of accuracy. Hitting after it's armed will not do any good.
Whoever moded the parent offtopic is suffering from a terminal case of the dumbass.

If your thinking ballistic, the distance is >1000 miles with a speed of 17000+mph. Lead is then important.
Even with lightspeed, with a distant target you need to lead it. Just like a shotgun with birds or clay targets, if you aim where it is, you missed. The idea is to aim where it will be.
