...gyrating triangles, and a door not big enough to fit most humans.
The triangles are made from some material that i'm unaware of...probably canvas, but anyways they move when you push one because the room is pressurized to keep the radome more stable the door is smaller than normal to keep from having huge pressure changes.
I work with/know people who work their now and did. Some of them work with me out at Schriever AFB in the springs and pull gaurd duty their. Got a big radome covering PIKE sitting right outside my window...now if only I had a digital camera, or a scanner, and... well... you get the picture...
I still don't admittedly know much about them and if I did odds are I wouldn't be allowed to tell anybody.
The radomes house antennas of varying sizes...the largest i've seen is 60 feet but of course they are bigger...the article said what was it 85 feet...They pick up microwave signals just the same from satellites or what not...Buckley (which is what you sent a picture of) runs SBIRS a replacement system (sorta) for DSP.
The golf ball "thingies" are just raydomes (arraydomes - array of triangles sort of thing) they keep the weather (wind, rain, and what not) from screwing with the antenna...nothing more...nothing less...sure they add that "they'll never know where the antennae is pointing" but who really cares you'd still have to know what is up there.
If this is to occur, then why do we have delayed projects like this kernel?
Oh, gee, I don't know, maybe because this is just about a hobby for most if not all of these guys and not really their job on a day to day business like say the OS programmers for M$, SUN, or Apple...
I've seen posts on here ranging from one extreme to the next. None of them have angered me. Many have bothered me, but they all make some good points...well some of them...1 or 2 maybe.
Basically all I wanted to say was that whether none/some/all people do/dont think there is discrimination in the tech industry everyone here is agreeing on one form of discrimination and that's lack intellectual prowess.
I'm sick and tired of being held down in a low paying job just because of my intellectual ability! Where's my affirmitive action? Where's my stuff to make things better? Where's my intellectually challenged Jesse Jackson or whoever? Where's my high paying tech job? Oh sure you all might say well go to school get some education...well I would but my ACT/SAT scores are too low. I was denied access to one of the greatest educational facilities in this country because "I'm not smart enough." I hope you all get my point because well...I not too good with grammer and speeling and I have AD...uh..D.
Jonathan No. 3 In an effort to watch DVD movies on a computer running Linux, 15-year-old Norwegian Jon Johansen created and distributed a program called DeCSS that cracked DVD encryption, allowing users to freely transfer the unencrypted video over the Internet. He was questioned and released.
Look at that...an opportunity to get some info out there and ZDNet can't even do better than "He was questioned and released"...like DeCSS is no big deal...
Because every time I print, the color matches and the text is where it should be.
What are you smoking...myself and a coworker just had this conversation the other day how even with all of the microsoft drivers and software and everything installed and going he couldn't get the colors to match on the printer to what he saw on the screen. This same coworker does photography as a hobby, and in my opinion is damn good, and has told me he has sworn by photoshop for years. I told him about GIMP and showed him GIMP for windows...he tried it and loved it. He started looking more heavily into Linux since I was talking to him about it a lot and asked numerous questions. I answered what I could and pointed him to the online documents. The funny thing is just a week ago he came by my cubicle (stall) and asked what he needed to do to get Linux installed and running. I hooked him up with a spare HD so he wouldn't have to worry about losing his windows install and he's been trying it out. I haven't heard any complaints yet. Therefore, I do think it does come down to the popular notion of people just don't know about Linux.
Defective Browser:
Access denied: incompatible browser.
Ironically, should be inside.. so the *page* is incompatible with Internet standards. Meanwhile, IE continues to be more standards compliant than Netscape, which is recommended. Seriously, this is one of the lamest things I've seen in a long time. I mean, I have Netscape 4.76, IE 5.5 and a two day old Mozilla nightly build but I won't use any other browser than IE for recreational surfing because there is just no contest in terms of speed and stability. I don't think I've *EVER* seen my IE 5.5 crash and I've used it for months now.
If Mozilla would fix some of the REALLY bad bugs it has (such as considering form fields with display: none as "non successful" (check the HTML 4 specs), being unable to properly refresh DHTML pages, using native scrollbars in XUL widgets (combo boxes), taking a window 3 seconds to open, losing bookmark names when copy & pasting, etc.) and if Mozilla would get fast enough to actually be usable, I'd love to switch. Until then, I'll stick with the #1 browser out there.
Opera has a lot of potential too and I'm looking forward to their next major release but the current version has too many layout and JavaScript implementation bugs to be usable.
Netscape 4.. There's no point in even mentioning the ways it sucks and is non-standards compliant but for the sake of the argument, let's mention IFRAME's, DOM, 85% of the CSS1 standard missing in the implementation, *horrible* table rendering performance and correctness, form widgets being native and thus not z-orderable, Java VM being barely 1.0.2 compatible with a buggy 1.1 AWT implementation... Like I said.. it sucks in too many ways to even mention.
Hey moderators how is that post interesting 3..it's off topic...and so is mine...
Sure go ahead son...
what's your problem?? homophobe??
That's not the point but if you're kid thinks about it even for a second they may think "hey this site is blocked by a filter my parents installed to keep me from looking at stuff thats wrong...am what i'm thinking wrong too? (also insert bad/horrible/not accepted or what not for wrong)" The answer is no there isn't and by blocking things like news:soc.support.youth.gay-lesbian-bi you may make it harder for your kids to talk to you about things that are curious about.
That's an easy problem to solve: put the Windows version in there, too. While you're at it, put in the Mac and Be version too.
That's an excellent idea except for the time it would add to the release of a complete set. Think about it for a minute. When you're writing the code for a game you write it for one development platform and then port/recode/recompile and you cant have multiple development teams developing the same game at the same time for different platforms. Can you imagine the arguments that would break out on implementation decisions? The shareholders are looking for profit so you have to get something out the door. I know you want to say it should be about value to the customers, but as anyone who lives in the real world knows it's not! It's about turning a profit.
no we dont. no more than any other organism on this planet and I don't see them doing anything to save the rainforests.
Climate has always shifted but within a balance,
Yeah how about that ice age...that was pretty balanced.
To deny our responsibility for our effect on the earth is selfish.
Whats wrong with selfishness? It's pushed people to do amazing things whether it was for money or acknowledgemet.
If it wasn't for selfishness I wouldn't have this high paying job that I do nothing at except post to slashdot, because if I wasn't selfish I would have conceded to one of those poor unemployed bastards that was interviewing for the job as well.
Selfishness is a right given apon every person by being able to have free thought and free will. If you choose not to be selfish it's your own loss...and my gain.

Sorry...i converted to metric... ;)
Stop you're going to make me pee...
Damn it! ... I hate simple math ...
The math sure does look wrong...

I can name a ton of them...any sat that uses the AFSCN (Air Force Satellite Control Network)...trust me on this I flew the damn birds.
I work with/know people who work their now and did. Some of them work with me out at Schriever AFB in the springs and pull gaurd duty their. Got a big radome covering PIKE sitting right outside my window...now if only I had a digital camera, or a scanner, and ... well... you get the picture...

now that's funny
it's radome not raydome sorry...like it really matters
The golf ball "thingies" are just raydomes (arraydomes - array of triangles sort of thing) they keep the weather (wind, rain, and what not) from screwing with the antenna...nothing more...nothing less...sure they add that "they'll never know where the antennae is pointing" but who really cares you'd still have to know what is up there.
Have people never heard of raydomes?
Oh, gee, I don't know, maybe because this is just about a hobby for most if not all of these guys and not really their job on a day to day business like say the OS programmers for M$, SUN, or Apple...
You may have, but yet you still don't get sarcasm very well do you? You are SMART S-M-R-T....I mean S-M-A-R-T!!

I still use ICEWM, because it's so damn small and still has function.
actually if i remember right isn't there something like 23 hrs 56 mins in a day...

What made you think buying a system that has more holes than swiss cheese built into the design, of the monitor alone, a good idea?
no we dont. no more than any other organism on this planet and I don't see them doing anything to save the rainforests.
