Fortunately I have only had to play the role of "private Timmy" a couple times. Though I have unfortunately spent far too many hours adjusting the color scheme of text boxes in powerpoint to get just the right shade of unreadable blue on yellow when black and white would have probably sufficed. I once sent up a brief with the crayon template selected, though it never made it to the official briefing, the response I got for it was worth the extra time wasted editing it yet again.
Military grade means it's 15 years old, possibly used, costs anywhere from 3 to 100 times what you can get it for on-line, and may no longer be supported by the manufacturer (if that manufacturer is still in business). Oh, if you're lucky they shock mounted it, or at least installed some rails so you can put it in a shock mounted rack;)
Actually the battle plans are in power point, the more charts and "sleek" animations the better..docx is reserved for official records, assuming that the pc you're using was built sometime after 2000.
The brief will start once private timmy finds some batteries for the laser pointer and the correct video cable to go from laptop to projector!
Yes, but if people THINK it happened in Hollywood, no one will be looking for a studio in Nevada! It's all part of the bigger picture man! Now where the hell did I put my non-stick foil hat?
I've always thought number 4 was that Man no longer realizes that He is as special as He thought in number 1. Then again, I can see where many people would probably go with your number 4.
I'm pretty sure though that I no longer can program a VCR and must turn in my "Certified Human" badge.
Which is not likely to change anytime soon unless we (as in the world as well us the US) do a massive shift away from oil in every industry possible. I'm now actually curious as to how feasible it would be to switch to electric freight trains in the US. Have to do more digging later.
That's because an automated/mechanical means of removing jellyfish was not in the original contract write up. Oh, and it's not just the vessels with nuclear propulsion, pretty much every vessel sucks in water and thus marine life for various systems, most of the time it's not a huge issue, though in really shallow ports it can be.
Actually distance is very relevant to sound measurements, including a measurement at the "source" (typically SPL levels are measured/given 1 meter or 1 yard from the source depending on your geographic location.). The article does not mention where the measured values are occuring, which makes them fairly useless for any calculations regarding sound propagation.
I don't mean to troll, but your comment is exceptionally typical (hearing it since the previous generation) and fairly misinformed.
Currently, there are more RPG's for the 360 than there are for the PS3. Though exclusive titles tend to be pretty rare these days so a good portion of both console's RPG's are available for both platforms. It's a little more difficult to compare shooters between the two since those tend to get filed under 'action' which includes non-shooters as well.
Moving on to the wii and this whole hardcore gamer thing, I would probably consider myself to be a "hardcore" gamer, but that's based on my definition and everyone seems to have their own definition of what a "hardcore" gamer or even a what a "hardcore" game is. Is it based on how much a person games? What kind of games they play? (teh harc0hrz gemez) How entrenched in gaming culture a person is? How challenging the game is? I own all three consoles, in fact we have 2 wii's in the house as well as 2 DS's (second wii is Japanese model as my wife, being Japanese prefers playing games in Japanese, 2 DS's so we can play together). I use both my tower and my laptop for gaming and have a fairly large library on steam. Sure I enjoy party games, golf games and old school gaming, but you know I'd rather play tiger woods on the 360 than on the wii, and the party games are really only for parties. Most of what I play on the wii I would consider to be "Hardcore". Metroid, Donkey Kong Country Returns (probably the most challenging game in the series), Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, etc Maybe they are a little too "cutesy" for the average gamer who has to have blood and titties in everyframe, but hey DKCR is way more of a challenge than bulletstorm, so if I need to play cutesy games just to have a good challenge than so be it.
But what if you had been asked to perform your duty to your country by educating poor children (in foreign lands or at home), or to help build roads or work with communities to reduce drug problems, mentor troubled teens, or become a surgeon and work for a lower wage in a government hospital?
The military does do a lot of community work, some on a voluntary basis, some more officially. Whether it's cleaning up a beach, fixing up a school, or providing medical services to people who normally can't afford or have access to them. Sure, sometimes there are political motivations, but it's not all shooting people.
back on topic:
Any technology that could potentially save lives in a possible wartime scenario is welcome as far as i'm concerned. Assuming it doesn't crash and require a reboot every hour.
