Yes they really under developed Buddy. It was predictable because it was part of the comic book. I agree the fact that this small team could just walk in and destroy major base after major base in the middle of occupied Germany was just a bit much. Hydra sure gave up easy. I mean they had these super weapons and outnumbered the commando force every time. Like I said it was just all too easy. Still a fun movie for a Saturday but not great. Nothing wrong with that since just being fun isn't a terrible thing. Historically I didn't like it because it helped push the myth of Germany being far ahead of the allies which isn't factual. The allies where much farther ahead in radar and nuclear weapons. Even in jet aircraft the west was not far behind. The British jet engines where far more reliable than the German engines and the US P-80 which was just getting into service at the end of war in Europe could out climb, and a higher ceiling, longer ranger,and was faster in level fight than the ME262. The US didn't rush the development of it because their was no need. The US B-29 was in many ways more advanced then even the German jet bombers produced during the war and the B-36 and Northrop flying wing which where on slow development at the end of the war "again not going to be needed" where as advanced as any of the German fantasy planes. I did like that Focke-Wulf Fw Triebflügel was in movie. What a disaster that would have been if they had built it.
Yep. My elementary school did not have AC. The students got one or two drinks of water a day out of the fountain. The teachers had a pitcher of iced tea on their desk and a fan blowing in them all day. They also had AC in the office/lounge. I guess that they thought that a 6 year old had more tolerance to heat and dehydration than an adult teacher. My mother along with other parents worked every year for three years to raise money to get the school air conditioned. I got to spend one year with AC before I went to a middle school for two years with no AC. On a good note one of my sisters got three years with AC, and my other sister and brother got size years K-5 with AC. Oh for the people that care they didn't have kindergarden at that school when I was kindergarden age so I only was their 1-5 and they installed the AC in the middle of my 4th grade year and finished over the summer. And yes my mother was the president of the PTA for most of years. And the school was in South Florida so yea we really needed AC.
I don't have a problem with Comic book movies. This movie was fun but I feel it missed the mark. You did have the death of Buddy which is cannon but as a whole I felt it lacked emotional content. 1. I at no time ever felt that Capt was in danger. I mean he never really was defeated. He won every battle. 2. I felt no real pain over the Buddy's death. I saw no soul searching or pain. Now this was WWII so in away that is expected. People died all the time in that war. Just to help put it into perspective. The Iraq according to wikipedia the US had 3,510 killed and 31,956 wounded in Iraq from 2003-2010. During the battle of Okinawa the US had 12,000 killed and 50,000 wounded in 82 days. The main thing was just that I never felt that the Red Skull had a chance. Captain America just kicked butt and took names. The fear of failure as lacking in this film. But it was fun. It really was a fun summer movie. I would give it a good but not great. It was not as good as Thor, Ironman or the Dark Knights IMHO.
You are funny. "You'd probably do better to judge a school based on how happy the students and parents are." When I was in High School a million years ago I asked a teacher this question. "Why do the teachers get better food and better parking spaces at the high school?" I was told it was because they worked at the school. So I said, "Well at the mall and most stores the people that work their part far away and give the best parking to the customers, since it is the teachers job to teach us the students that makes us the customers and the teachers are working for us." I got sent to the deans office for being disrespectful. I hope your friend can find a job outside of education.
Interesting if really odd little rant. What do you mean they can't compete there are many ad networks that fact that they exists proves that Google does not have a monoply. As far as the rest goes I can fix all your problems for you.
"Before they "only" read your email," Use Hotmail, Yahoo mail AOL, Zoho mail, GMX mail, Gawab mail, or any of a number of free email systems sites, or use the POP account that cames with your ISP account, or run your own mail server. "had your previous searches," Use Bing, Yahoo, and so on. "youtube videos" Vimeo or any number of other video sites.
I don't feel that Facebook steals my privacy because it only puts up what I give it. "After that there are still Google employees that may or may not abuse those policies secretly. This is especially true with a geeky company, and it's just human tendency." And I rally doubt that you are interesting enough for somebody a google to risk their fat paycheck dream job to spy one you. The paranoia level involved is just a bit in to Narcism at that point.
Well they claim that what they are doing is not an issue. So I simply want to know what sites use them and what advertisers use them along with the name of the script. That way I can have the freedom to choose if I want to go to those sites or not and let the site owners and advertisers that I don't like it. Not that it is ilegal or not but I don't like and don't want it to happen to me. That is all they have to do.
What? Google does not have a monopoly. Facebook which is a monster does not use Google ads. Google does not have a monopoly on search. Bing and Yahoo which now uses Bing both serve ads and provide search so we can toss out your monopoly idea right there. Google plus has fewer users than Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and until recently Slashdot, so that isn't a monopoly in social networks. So now that we know that the facts you are stating is false we can just toss the rest of the comment out. They don't have to cheat to compete. Microsoft, Facebook, and Apple all have ad networks now. Apple is making a big push in the mobile ad space I would hope they are not history harvesting.
Thuderbolt is fast but not as fast as many people think it is. The boxes I see only support 2 PCIe Lanes which is not enough for a high to moderate video card. Like I said a Mini with even a single good PCIe slot would be nice. Even better if I could add more SIMMs and SATA drives to it. But Apple doesn't seem interested in something between the mini and Mac Pro. The iMacs are not bad for what you get but again they are not expandable enough for an enthusiast or a cheap professional. Apple is making money hand over fist and users love them so it is hard to be too critical. They are no obligated to make what I want.
No they don't. The young and the foolish all think that they will not be the one that gets it. That is why you make the mature and educated officers and NCOs. Hey if you want to take on the role as Cannon fodder for Lulzsec and Anon be my guest.
I don't I just know their actions and judge them by there actions. 1. Hacking NPR because they didn't like a story? That is anti free speech. 2. Attacking the Epilepsy forums which is just being jerks. 3. The attack on the teen that started the no Cussing club which was yet another attack on free speech. 4. The attack on Sony which hurt not only the company but the users. in other words they attack whom every they don't like. They do it any way the want and feel that they are judge, jury and executioner. The problem with their supporters is they just dismiss their miss deeds are "harmless" or as "colateral damage". We do live in a free society still in the west. If you don't like what NPR had to say put up your own blog post saying why. Same if you do not like what Sony is doing. Only the young and the foolish think that this kind of vandalism is good for a free society.
Well here is a link to newegg for 27 inch monioors that support 2560x1440 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007617+600030620+600012694&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=20&description=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&AdvancedSearch=1&srchInDesc= The cheapest is 839 not counting rebate but they all seem to be right around $999 with NEC at 1349 So with the display acting like a docking station as well as a monitor it looks pretty dang good to me at $999. In fact right in the same price range but with more features. You can buy cheap 27" monitors but they are just 1080p resolution. Which on a 27 inch monitor would be pretty bad. The Mac Book pro isn't that badly priced for a quality professional notebook. Trust me I have seen Windows notebooks that sell for more that are not as well made. People complain that Apple is expensive but the truth is they just don't offer a product in every product line. Apple lacks an easy to expand mini tower for gamers and enthusiasts. I would love to see a Mac Mini with maybe one or two PCIE slots in a tower case for the same price. Not going to happen because that is a market that Apple isn't interested in. Apple also lacks a sub $999 notebook. I would have loved to see Apple push out a new MacBook with an i3 and DVD and maybe a few more USBs for $599-$799. I think it would have been ideal for students. The Mac Mini is actually really interesting. In many ways I can see it as the prefect machine for a lot of home users. It is tiny and not to shabby of a performer. Get a monitor with both DVI and HDMI and stick in a kids room. Use the HDMI for a Cable Tuner and the DVI for the Mini. Combine it with a wireless keyboard and you have a nice small TV plus computer setup not unlike the old Commodore 64 back in the day. Yes it will cost the average home user more than that $399 tower but frankly just a few vists from the geek squad to decrapify and clean malware will take up the difference.
I didn't know that you could know peoples true motives. It must be great to look into people's soul like that. If course if you are only going to judge people by their motives, I suggest you learn an important lesson. Every villain is the hero of their own story.
1. Yes even with shipping it was cheaper. 2. Did you not read the rest where I mentioned that they often didn't have the books in stock I wanted? Simple logic. You can not make me wait longer and pay more for a book than Amazon. You must have it in stock for me buy it.
I shopped there a lot and never did the scan and check UNTIL they where going out of business. But often I would get a book and then really want the next book in the series and they wouldn't have it. Guess what? Amazon it. That was their fail. I miss them because it was nice to go there and buy a few magazines while my wife was shopping in the mall or go and get a snack before a movie and maybe buy a book.
As long as they are under 18 you are right. Over 18 and even an arrest looks bad on your record. A slap on the wrist and a few weeks jail time can mean you don't get a lot of jobs. Of course they will not get anyone and the very young and very stupid think it could never happen to them. Like Anon says "They are expendable" so rush that machine gun nest it will not get all of you.
You have to wonder just how many people are going to have to be arrested until the grunts get the picture and bail. Anon "We are a Hydra chop off a head and two grows back" == You are expendable. Grunts are cheap and made by unskilled labor. AKA it sucks for you if you are the head that gets chopped off.
Well since they didn't kill the child or even do any real harm to said child of course you do have the harm to the parents and the disruption to teh investigation vs the possible harm financial harm to thousands of people I can see your point. What Anon did was worse. It would seem exploiting bad security and releasing the resulting date is a bad thing at all times. Only a fool and or hypocrite would praise on while damning the other.
"Yep - releasing userid/passwords is the same thing as hacking into dead childern's voicemails for scoops." Oh so you mean like Wikileaks did with all the text messages from 9/11?
Funny but doesn't Anonymous do that exact same thing? I mean dumping users email addresses and password hashes hurts the users as well as the companies.
I do think Borders is was over priced. Even when they where on shutting down the local store the 30% discounted books where still more expensive than Amazon. Even over priced I still went there a lot. My wife and I would go to kill time and I bought a lot of magazines there. I would even try and buy books there but I would go and see a series that interested me and they wouldn't have book 1! or I would be three books into the series and they wouldn't have book four but would have book five. I would ask them and they would simply say, "We can order it for you and it will be here in a week." Today that isn't really good enough since I can order it on my phone from Amazon and have it delivered to my house in three days for 35% cheaper. I am willing to the extra just to browse and see what interests me. I subscribe to the magazines I really like but sometimes I might want to buy that old British motorcycle magazine or I might see something that interests me. I probably dropped $40 a week at Borders and or B&N. I still go to B&N to browse and buy. But really they must drive down the costs and increase the selection a bit. I don't expect Amazons low prices but at the same time you can not expect me to order a book in the store anymore. If you don't have it in stock I will get it faster and cheaper from Amazon.
But it would be a really good option for systems that can trade performance for reliability. With a lot of OSs an RS-232 driver can take down a server. Or course you would want to be very careful with things like filesystems and mass storage devices but I think this could be a valid method today. Now that we have so much computing power I can imagine a lot of systems that would benfit from a little of it being put into reliability.
You could have said the same about Linux because we had Minix and BSD. The first versions of Linux where pretty useless. That being said HURD has some interesting ideas that may turn out to be useful. I am really fond of the goals of Minix 3. The idea of a self healing system is very cool for servers and embedded devices. Frankly it should pretty easy to do, make the drivers code segment in memory read only and if the driver has a serious error you restart the driver with a fresh data segment. Once the driver is restarted the old data segment could be dumped for debugging and a log of the error made. You would have to put in some kind of protection to prevent the logging and dumping from putting you into a driver restart loop but that should be just some deadlock prevention. Of course this is all very hard to do in a monolithic kernel.
That extra lift will not help increase how much it can land with by much if anything. The landing weight will be limited by the parachute and for landing on land the landing bag plus any retros. The Falcon 9 Heavy will throw the Dragon farther and maybe with some extra stuff that it doesn't land with like a small habitat or a space lab or some kind of logistics module.
!. They must be a frequent flyer. 2. They do a background check. Forge the identity is a maybe. Convincing a person that meets all the checks and history to kill themselves for a terrorist group? That is just a little far fetched. Reminds of a conversation I had with another person about profiling. Me: It is really dumb to spend time doing random checks on 70 year old grandmothers from Iowa flying to vist their kids in North Dakota. Other person: They must be completely random to be fair! The terrorist will then just recruit 70 year old grandmothers from Iowa.... Really.... And you think that what the government comes up with is far fetched?
Yes but odds are it will still use a parachute to land on Mars. A lot of Landers do combine a parachute with retros. I do not think there has been a single Mars lander that did not use a parachute.
Yes they really under developed Buddy. It was predictable because it was part of the comic book. I agree the fact that this small team could just walk in and destroy major base after major base in the middle of occupied Germany was just a bit much. Hydra sure gave up easy. I mean they had these super weapons and outnumbered the commando force every time.

The the planet has an atmosphere you will use at least in part drag to slow down. If you move through at atmosphere you experience drag.
