Northern AZ/Southern UT is probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my entire life. The Grand Canyon is simply something that you have to see to believe. The in Utah you've got Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point, a drive through Monument Valley. You don't even have to care about the geology to be amazed by the beauty of that part of the country. It's unlike anything else I've ever seen.
That's a pretty euro-centristic view of WWII. Japan was a very large part of the war, with over 9 Million soldiers serving. That's about half of Germany's, but more than the UK or France.
At their height, they occupied/controlled a large portion of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
A lot of people (including Americans) really underestimate how large a scale the Pacific portion of the war was -- easily the largest Naval war in history.
To call Japan a "very tiny actor" is (in my opinion) very disrepectful to the millions of Chinese (only Germany and Russia suffered more losses than China), Koreans, Americans, and other nationalities who fought and died in that part of the world.
It's not true. The movie depicts Miller getting the Navy cross, which he did in May of 1942. There's a picture of him receiving the medal at http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/g20000/g 23588.jpg

Soundwave was the tape player.
I ran it with IBM's, Suns and a C++ version under Visual C++
Sun: 17696
IBM: 5138
VC++: 5368
I don't know if this says more about IBM's VM or the C++ compiler. I am surprised about how poorly Apple's VM did though.

If I remember correctly, the B-1's couldn't be used in the Gulf War they were still dedicated to the nuclear role, and wouldn't have been available.
