have been doing this for years. We've come up with many creative names for it so the kids don't know what were talking about. I guess we can add movieokie to the list
In the Navy I was asked to do a bunch of painting in an enclosed compartment. I went to the safety office to get an appropriate resperator. They said - "We don't have the right equipment to fit you for one. So you can't have one." I said, "So since we can't be sure the fit will be perfect I have to do the work with no protection at all?" The answer- "Yes." Brilliant.
Apache sales to other countries are still going strong. The mesa plant is going gangbusters rolling out the improvements for future models.
I wouldn't say the Apache has had a dismal performance in desert environments. In fact - if you look at all the apaches- not just those flown by the U.S. in the middle east- you could say that their performance has been exceptional.
Could somebody here who is smarter than I am. (that's lots of you) explain to me the point of a stealthy helo?
Here is my problem with it- don't those big blades spinning around on top create a nice big disc that is going to bounce radar right back? Will any rotary wing aircraft ever be very stealthy? I never understood this helicopter.
My sister in law is a project manager out at the mesa plant. She was telling me about some of the hardware in the next generation- 4 quad processor boards and such. She says they are very, very busy working on it.
The comanche should have been shut down a long time ago.
I wouldn't say impossible but I'd go with unlikely. Especially with cases like you mention above- people using technology without really understanding how it works.
I was reviewing my companies out going email the other day and apparently our CFO sends himself financial spreadsheets through email with no encryption, security, etc. Crazy.
Some people will blow it on HIPAA but many others are running around like crazy trying to be in compliance- as they are afraid of getting slammed. (We work with hospitals doing collections). Interesting stuff.
O.k. I've got it now. I appreciate your response and the others that have helped me to understand the point.
It sounds like the key would be, as you mention, more efficient farming if current methods do not achieve sufficient results.
At some point a solution must be found- and while I realize that from a purely supply/demand perspective there is plenty of time for technology to improve- it seems that political expediency should drive a push for a more speedy solution.
That is interesting. I still don't see how it changes the fact that this seems to be a cool thing that could move us away from our dependance upon oil. I personally don't think we ought to aim for not using oil at all- but I hate that we would be in a huge bind without it.
Or are people just being nit picky about the description of the process as not involving any fossil fuels?
A lot of people are saying this- but it seems to imply that farming equipment, etc. must always run on fossil fuels.
It sounds a lot to me like saying - "yeah that new C language seems o.k. but you still need language X to write a compiler for it- so what's the point" But once you move beyond that- you can drop language X or in this case fossil fuels. What if your farm equipment starts running on fuel cells? The move from fossil fuels has to take place in steps.
I am of the 'never turn a new opportunity' down school when it comes to advancement. But I've never been in your exact situation so.... Taking on a nasty job nobody would want is a good way to make a lot of ground though.
This is a bit OT but 2 things- don't feel bad about your weight- for your height you are not doing too bad. I'm 3 inches shorter and quite a bit heavier- but getting lighter every day. The second thing- if you ever feel like feed back - or talking over how the diet goes allow comments on your blog here.

to think of the butter, but I can't get past the icing. Mmmmmmmmm icing.
No. You can have multiple concurrent users doing all kinds of crap and the locking granularity can be down to the record level if you write your code correctly.
Now the one thing that is bad with access is that if a user drops their connection in the middle of something it has a tendency to blow up. If you have a lot of people using an Access file over a network- you are going to need to compact & repair every so often. But I've seen stuff go strong for a while with 30-70 users hitting the same.mdb for 10 hours a day and it worked pretty well.
I just got real interested when it was presented as a replacement for Access- because MySQL is not. If I'm going to go to run and actual database server I'll use postgres. But I'm looking for something that is just like Access but will run on linux.
So I'm not really responding so much to the book review as to the parent post. that's all.
from the sql lite page it looks like multiple users can select silmultaneously but only write to the database one at a time. Locking for writes is not record level, page level or even table level - it is the whole database.
Too bad- because MySQL really does not replace Access but neither does this- unless it will only run internally to one user.
I worked next to the office for the liquor director for Safeway in AZ. He had a typerwriter in his office because he had to have it for the state forms involved in getting/keeping liquor licenses. It was a trip.
The other place you may see lots of typerwriters is in a high school- where many typing classes still use them.
I never played it but I do still play Dune on my genesis all the time. In fact the first time I saw starcraft was in a class. The guy sitting next to me was playing it on his laptop. It looked cool so I watched a while and once I had an idea of how it worked I told him- "Hey, that's just like Dune on my Sega"

actually the cheap 1.5 liter bottles of vodka you see all over the place are usually very watered down.
I don't love iTunes or the iPod

Funny but I don't know about insightful. It's like saying - How about building a power plant that doesn't use fuel.
Don't build an aircraft that can't be shot down. Yes - that took a lot of insight.
If they lose the Marine 1 contract - well they will really be in a bad way.

did you a disservice. Bringing attention to something that is not right- even if you cannot solve it yourself can be very helpful.
Maybe someone else does not recognize the problem but will be able to solve it after you bring it to their attention.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course the trick to testing it out would be to find and area without roads and population.
Not a lot of those left in general- let alone where pigeons live.
It's in the game.
is this little bit at the end of the article
County officials have not yet determined if they will tell the families involved about the incident.
If that isn't sick I don't know what is. I thought it might be more like 'haven't decided how to tell....' not IF they would tell
