That's interesting (really, I had no idea you could do such things) but Airbus has no interest in paying us for pdf reports, and they're the customer.
It sounds like there's little possibility for reuse with your method, and often an older report will be updated to a new build standard by another company.
We might be doing it a bit wrong, but the use of a template and macros for the initial generation of report is far ahead of what most engineers are doing.
Also many reports end up having quite a bit of bespoke work done on them, and it sounds like that could be difficult to do on your system.
Bzzt, wrong, our 500 page reports full of cross references, macros and pictures, needed to be edited as sub-documents when we had Pentium 4 machines.
Now I can manipulate a few complete ones at once.
Due to heat conduction away from the irradiated area, I doubt it's a linear relationship. At some low power you'd find no damage regardless of time, and at high power you'd probably find damage occurs much faster than predicted from the 5 mW test.
Ah, I didn't think it would be so simple to revert to Gnome classic. I assumed that after installing the package there would be lots of screwing around. Thanks.
I disagree about Unity being like switching to 7. I only got around to it last year when modern hardware made XP show its age, and it's nowhere near as much of a change as Unity was.
Unless I've really screwed up, no you can't not use Unity. In 11.x you had a choice, in 12.x you don't.
I'm really fucking pissed off about that and hate using my laptop now. There's no way I'm upgrading the work server to 12.
Ubuntu can bite my shiny metal arse with its fucking tablet interface for everyone, despite me using it since 2008.
Wow, comparing an 11 year old OS to the latest Linux distro iso. Try installing Redhat 7.2 on modern hardware
Windows 7 is not that painful. About as bad as installing and updating an Ubuntu installation.
And while it's not common, I bought an Intel Sandy Bridge server which had a network adapter not supported by the latest Ubuntu iso. Fortunately the secondary adapter is an older chipset and I was able to connect to the internet and get an updated kernel which supports the primary.
I don't really want to go into the trouble I went through to try and get Ubuntu running on a freshly released Santa Rosa laptop. I gave up and waited for a new release, and used XP in the mean time.
I don't know about that, the overpressure from the explosion could cause instant fuselage failure. On one hand, airliners aren't built as tough, on the other, the air volume in the fuselage is much greater, which allows explosive energy to be absorbed by air compression.
That sort of info probably isn't so freely available.
Or you could have, you know, bothered to read up on what you're talking about. The targets are visually tracked with this short range system. Please, go on with your wild ideas.
Really? You managed to write that and it didn't cross your mind that an evacuation would take much longer than it would take the plane to arrive? WTF are you thinking, the terrorists would take off from France and request clearance for a suicide run from ATC?
Maybe you should then ask the same questions about Washington DC and the White house, which are defended by SAM emplacements and shoulder launched missiles.
I don't think it's loud and intimidating.
During the Commonwealth games opening ceremony in Melbourne Australia, there were F/A-18s patrolling at high altitude. I was quite disappointed because I expected something more interesting, and went to a lookout point with my camera.
They were quieter than normal airliner traffic because of how high they were flying. I could tell they were low bypass jet engines by the sound and recognized the shape in binoculars, but I doubt most people had any clue.
Cool story bro.
Maybe you should look into how reliable arse feel is in instrument conditions. FYI, they gradually transitioned from 1g flight to a 1g fall, which funnily enough, feels like 1g steady flight. Aircraft have crashed into the ground in a steep descending spiral with full control, because as long as your arse feels 1g on it, you have very little idea where your lift vector is pointing relative to the ground.
And what a lot of people aren't realising is that because stall is an AOA thing, you can stall in any attitude. Pull up hard while going vertically down and the airfoil can still stall (if not going so fast that you get structural failure).
Well, because then THAT system, or the inputs to it, fails for some odd reason and flies the plane into the ground.
And you'd also want to disable it during the landing flare, when depending on the aircraft and landing technique, a light stall to the ground is intentional and gentle.
You're now focussing one one particular problem, and possibly making things worse overall.
The only reasons I've heard from people in the military are more along these lines: a job, adventure, education etc. I only hear third parties banging on about signing up to defend your freedom.

That's OK, because I can't solder those bastards for shit anyway :) I can magnify the image, but not shrink my fingers and jitters.
Helicopters have landed on Mt Everest. It IS hard; you need a powerful helo and limit your payload, but it's certainly doable. Google it.

Because too many ACs bitch and moan about it without rating submissions in the firehose.

I dare say those employees didn't know it inside out. Kinda hard to miss the fact that your VBA macros don't work in anything other than MS Office.
Oh fuck no. Don't you start making "site" a homonym for seeing things (sight).
Ah shit, there are also longer range systems being set up.

Normally posts of this calibre are written by ACs.
With your powers of extrapolation, I hope you're not a financial advisor.

For next time, it's "touche", with an accent on the e.
I love it when I learn something obscure from Slashdot comments. Thanks.
