Might be useful as a coating; of course the other thing is have we looked on Earth for them? They might be more common terrestrially than we though too.
By when the shooting started I was referring to when the coalition forces crossed the boarder from Saudi Arabia into occupied Kuwait to expel the Iraqis forces. I'm surprised and now know better but I assumed that Syria and Iran would be more traditional, the other countries on your list I consider more modernized
we had a self-propelled launcher and it had an 60KW generator built in, which ran off the GMC 6 cylinder supercharged diesel engine. When the electronic governor fail, it fail in the full on mode. Physically what happened when the governor failed was as soon as you switched on the generator, the engine would go instantly from idle to full power and the weakest link, the jack-shaft going from the engine crankshaft to the supercharger would shatter. A nuclear or even a fire generation plant would have the same thing happen, when the alternator stop supplying resistance to the turbine would overspeed until a bearing went or the turbine started throwing blades.
That was more likely just the opposite, the lines were overload and the IR losses caused them to melt; if the load reduce it would be more likely that the turbines and alternator would over-speed and fail mechanically or the over-voltage would punch through the insulation in the alternator.
The reactor automatically shuts down when the voltage drops, the diesels can keep it going but when a whole grid drops out what's the point? Let them get the grid back up along with numerous surges and sags in the process; when things are stable again bring the reactors on line.
more like, Mohamed dials 1-(800) us-army on his cell phone, Mohamed: hey Army Joe, that scumbag taliban Achmed and his guys that keep stealing my chickens "for the cause" is coming through the village US Army Joe: Sure no problem Mohamed, we'll light'em up out on the trail. Mohamed: Thanks Joe, have a good one.
They just don't want the common Afghan civilians to call the authorities and report their movements, it's not about the towers tracking the cellphones of the Taliban.
I'd even expect that more than half of those "Christians" are not participatory "christians" but the went to Sunday School a couple times, and got married in church type of "christians".
Gorilla fighters depend on irregular movement erratic tactics, stealth and cached supplies and equipment to be effective or even survive; when the locals jump on the cell phone and narc out their movements and locations, they don't last long. The part about being tracked via cell towers is a red herring and is being used to avoid admitting the majority of the afghans oppose them and are actively turning them in to the authorities.
Makes no difference, if the NSA rate their own room at AT&T, then I'll bet those rooms were spec'ed out in advance by the KBR people that build the networks under contract from the USG.
But for some reason, they are desperate enough to ask for help in turning the towers off because they think it is how we are finding them. There is nothing so troubling as talking to a loved one on the cellphone and hearing artillery incoming and a short "gotta go click" then nothing for 2 weeks. I'm sure that the NSA has a pretty good idea where the action is over there and when somebody is getting their asses waxed and calls for help or to say goodbye, they are really interested in who is getting called and how the dots connect. A couple wash, rinse, repeats and the picture gets pretty clear.
Prisoners of war are uniformed combatant in the employ of a country engaged in a declared war, any civil treatment the enemy combatants and insurgents receive is an unearned. Honorable prisoners of war will except neither parole or pardon from his or her captors and will either escape to their freedom or remain incarcerated until the conclusion of hostilities. The Taliban is not known for honorable behavior.
An active radar has both a transmitter and receiver in the same device, a semi-active radar has the transmitter and receiver separated. The bird I worked on, the HAWK Missile worked this way.
The census is responsible for counting the population and determining where they live and other statistics hence the mission-creep. The nation requested that the data the census generated be sliced and diced in ways that the GIS at the time didn't allow, so the census did it themselves; not every jurisdiction can afford or even find a professional GIS guy.
The local government can call the street anything the Post Office lets them call it; since the Post Office has to deliver the Mail to the addresses, they have Veto power.
The TIGER data is built and maintained by Census workers, which are part timers. If your data was collected by the kid in college studying surveying and cartography the data would be pretty good; if the unemployed single mom on welfare maybe not. Our "official" census is done every ten years, and there is a mid-term census at 5 years so the TIGER data can easily be up to ten years old but some parts are less than 5 years.
Facts can't be copyrighted but fiction can, so the errors on a map are the only thing that is copyrighted. Same thing goes for board games, if you just know that the answer you gave in Trivial Pursuit is correct and the game is wrong, you might be right.
Street names in the US are assigned by the government and the government can't own a copyright in the US. All most all of those maps have errors and they have a lot of the same errors because they are based on the TIGER, Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system, database. The TIGER database is maintained by the U.S. Census and while they are huge, you can have a lot of fun with them especially when you mix in the Perl module Geo::Coder::US and GMT, Generic Mapping Tool. The TIGER is a database of any known and and a huge number of interpolated data points, for example my house is listed as a known point with it's "official" latitude and longitude, two blocks down is another known point and every house in between is estimated. One thing you quickly notice when playing with the database is that roads often have multiple "official" name, Roads may "officialy" exist but not physically exists and roads may physically exist with out "officially" existing. Roads can even meander and move, especially dirt fire-roads and trails in the woods.
Home schooling has grown up a lot more than you are giving it credit for. Frequently groups form to pool resources of several families so that parent with particular strengths help teach kids in need of those strengths or organizing field trips. Going to story-time at the library, or out-reach programs at the museums and sports like soccer and bowling gets kids involved in plenty of socialization.
I've seen a kid that had gone completely feral, hyperactive, disruptive and assaultive. The only way to maintain any control was through physical restraint and intimidation bordering on criminal child abuse. My sister-in law taught that little angel, and I know his Grandparents, who were saddled with rising the kid until he was old enough that his behavior got him incarcerated in prison, all three are eligible for sainthood in my book. Kids sexually assaulting and or harassing their teachers and peers isn't unheard of in elementary school.
Nope, it's not the technology. I know this guy from the National Guard, the others would always hide his stuff in the locker room and do everything imaginable to tease, torment and humiliate him short of giving him wedgies and swirlies. He had confided to me that substitute teachers 60 hours of college, and he was going to try doing that. Well the kids in the first class treated him in the exact manner as the guys in the locker room did. It didn't take long to figure out that his experience of public school was 12 years of torment, so what did he do, he went and got a BA in teaching and his teaching certificate! Here the clue if the students in school treated you like a punk when you were a student, the students will probably still treat you like a punk when your a teacher; if going through school was misery, why on earth would you want to spend a career in that environment?
My 12 Yr old. Granddaughter almost got permanently expelled for "attacking" the guy with silly string on the last day of school, some things just don't change.
Bloody Hell, first 5 cables get cut by sharks with fricken lasers on their heads,now this! A reasonable person might have thought "what else could go wrong?" to accept all routes announced by a leaf link is just plain stupidity. I'm really kind of surprised that this happened. I'm not, I'm not pretending that I could have predicted it but it is a logical extension of current events that the intelligence community should have been watching for, don't we pay them to be that paranoid?
The old cell phones punched out 3 Watts analog and are being EOL'd here on Earth, but we didn't find ET talking so we figured he must be using one of the new digital cell phones that pput out a lot less power so we need a more sensitive receiver to hear the same distance!
One of the problems the store is going to run into is that a comic book store is retail store selling new magazines, plus a used magazine store buying and selling books who's value is constantly changing more like an investment portfolio or even a stock exchange in function.
