tip of the iceberg. Strictly speaking, what I cited wasn't a specification, but a section of a security manual. Had the grandparent's "senior military guy" read a similar document prepared by his government, he would have known what was wrong. The real specs often cite other specs, and the whole thing has to be certified by a inspector, in any case.
If the material to be stored in the vault was deemed to be TS/SCI, there's a whole layer of bureaucracy that comes with it.
See, this is why government oversight is so expensive. Regulations have to written for morons and swindlers. Here's the US Government standard.
1) Class A Vaults.
(a) Reinforced Concrete. The wall, floor, and ceiling will be a minimum thickness of eight inches of reinforced concrete. The concrete mixture will have a comprehensive strength rating of a least 3,000 psi. Reinforcement will be accomplished with steel reinforcing rods, a minimum of 5/8 inches in diameter, positioned centrally and spaced horizontally and vertically 6 inches on center; rods will be tied or welded at the intersections. The reinforcing is to be anchored into the ceiling and floor to a minimum depth of one-half the thickness of the adjoining member.
(b) Modular. Modular panel wall, floor, and ceiling components, manufactured of intrusion-resistant material, intended for assembly at the place of use, and capable of being disassembled and relocated meeting Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) standards are approved for vault construction.
(c) Steel-lined. Vaults may be constructed of steel alloy-type, such as U.S. Steel T-1, having characteristics of high-yield tensile strength or normal structural steel with a minimum thickness of 1/4 inch. The metal plates are to be continuously welded to load-bearing steel members of a thickness equal to that of the plates. If the load-bearing steel members are being placed in a continuous floor and ceiling of reinforced concrete, they must be firmly affixed to a depth of one-half the thickness of the floor and ceiling. If the floor and/or ceiling construction are less than six inches of reinforced concrete, a steel liner is to be constructed the same as the walls to form the floor and ceiling of the vault. Seams where the steel plates meet horizontally and vertically are to be continuously welded together.
(2) Class B Vaults.
(a) Monolithic Concrete. The wall, floor, and ceiling will be a minimum thickness of four inches of monolithic concrete.
(b) Masonry Units. The wall will be brick, concrete block, or other masonry units not less than eight inches thick. The wall will extend to the underside of the roof slab above (from the true floor to the true ceiling). Hollow masonry units shall be the vertical-cell type (load bearing) filled with concrete and metal reinforcement bars. The floor and ceiling must be of a thickness determined by structural requirements, but not less than four inches of monolithic concrete construction.
(3) Class C Vaults. The floor and ceiling must be of a thickness determined by structural requirements, but not less than four inches of monolithic concrete construction. Walls must be not less than eight inches thick concrete block or hollow-clay tile or other masonry units. The wall will extend to the underside of the roof slab above (from the true floor to the true ceiling).
Not to mention that General Relativity and Quantum Relativity don't mix... obviously they are both wrong and we can quit teaching Newtonian physics in school too! I think we are really on to something. If we weed out all the nonsense being taught, we will have enough time in the day to bring back art class!
Surely you mean "bible class.". Art class is still for decadent elites.
Explain to me how this is gonna make my Vi editor sessions more productive
You'll need to write the kernel driver first, and you'll probably need to write some applications. Hopefully, the long hours of coding will inspire a use for it.
Do you switch between Latin-1 and Cyrillic or Japanese? Do you play any games that bind actions to the keyboard in a non mnemonic way? On the other hand, touch typing "Quake" probably isn't that difficult to learn.
You'd need a pretty hefty battery for that. Perhaps the app could be programmed to calculate when the user would be most likely to drop his device/car battery onto his foot.
So, based on the 216,000 acres per day in the April, 1990 Vegetarian Times article your search turned up, my estimate was off by a factor of 4. As in, Vegeterian Times was claiming the denuding of the Earth by your figures every 4 years instead of every year.
Surface area of earth: 510 072 000 sq km Veg Times estimate of acreage lost per day: 216000 acress Veg Times estimate converted to square kilometers: 874 sq km Yearly loss, assuming 365.24 days/year: 309605 sq kilometers
Years it would take to denude 510,072,000 sq km of rainforest at that rate: 1650 years. Your estimate: 4 years.
square Kilometers get read as square miles, hourly estimates based on 8 hour work days get scaled up again using 24 hour work days. All rainforests are read as just the Amazon.
As in x acres per day times 365 days per year divide by surface area of the earth and we found that those evil farmers in the Amazon region were denuding the entire planet (including the surface of the oceans) every year.
Working backwards, the surface area of the earth is 510 072 000 square kilometres (or 1.26041536 e11 acres), yielding a daily rate of 345319276 acres lost. Considering that the Rainforest Action network typically claimed that 50,000 acres were lost per day, your estimate is a gross exaggeration.
And if you accidentally plug the green cable into the red jack, the errors will show up in your video signal. Depending on how your equipment handles it, you may get strange colors, or a blue screen, or...

My guess is that it's RT.
The whole point of the contest is to find a use for the keyboard. Perhaps you're not cut out for this sort of competition.

Perhaps you could try your hand at some APL?

Not only was the notion of cleaning the cable end bizarre -- what, wipe it on his t-shirt? -- and never fully explained,
There are in fact, standard procedures for cleaning fibre optic cable.
Very interesting article, thanks.
Episode III was so bad that I didn't even bother watching episodes 4,5, and 6.
You'd need a pretty hefty battery for that. Perhaps the app could be programmed to calculate when the user would be most likely to drop his device/car battery onto his foot.
Sure, you can import your plagiarism, but ill you be able to export it?
And still willing to buy a computer preloaded with an operating system.
Shame that it's no longer winter.
Fine. I guess I should pony up for an Atom. Will the Intel chipset be sufficient, or will I need a nvidia ION?
The preview states
Look for this game on September 21 and make sure you have a computer than can run it.
So... fill in the details. Will it run on my PowerMac 6100?

Repeated regurgitation makes for a smooth creamy truthiness.

Now, current estimates of amazon deforestation are on the order of 20,000 square kilometers, or 13540 acres per day. But RAN used a worldwide figure.
The AGW crowd purposely hides the medieval warming period from their graphs
What source do you have that the Medieval Warm Period was as warm as you claim?
Hubble has produced wonderful images but the James Webb Space Telescope is going to be a phenomenal upgrade.
Finally astronomers can put aside the childish, obsolete visible light spectrum and focus in on what really matters: infrared.
Do you often attend hundred hour films?
Agreed. The format dictated the content, and the content is uninspiring.
The Wikipedia page suggests that SCART isn't perfect. My favorite bit is about the incompatible SCART cables.
