I've not yet seen a valid and reasonable argument for why an Intel compiler should support a non-Intel product at all, let alone to the same level as an Intel product - care to give one?
There are two reasons the USAF don't reengine the B-52 (and it has come up several times) - first is the fact that there is still a significant parts stockpile of engines already bought and paid for which are next to worthless on the open market, and secondly is the fact that by going from four engines on a wing to two, you have to drastically change the single engine out characteristics of the aircraft, which means a bigger tail to compensate etc.
The USAF tankers and utility aircraft (E-3, RC-135s etc) have been reengined because they spend a lot more time in the air than the B-52s, and generally operate off of the standard USAF operational budget, whereas the B-52s typically operate under specialist budgets per conflict except for training flights.
Yes, seriously - for its time, the Vulcans engines faces were quite large which made the radar return twinkle and spike a *lot* in comparison to other aircraft. Even the Victor had a lower return, due to the baffles the Victors intakes had.
Simply updating the design with brand new materials is often as big a job as producing an all new design, as the current design is based around the strength, stiffness and capability of the material used - changing that material means revisiting every aspect of the design to ensure that the new materials characteristics handle all the stresses, loadings and movements without issue.
The Vulcan bomber was never a good candidate for stealth - the engine faces were completely exposed, even tho they were embedded in the wing, so it had a larger than average radar cross section for an aircraft its size.
My suggestion as an example would be the Heavy Press Program to produce massive forging and extrusion presses in the US in the 1950s, and most of those 10 presses are still in use today producing parts for the latest generation of military aircraft (the F-35 main structural frame is produced on the press).
I wonder what the actual output of Castle Bravo was in the end then, if there was such a variation in original estimates and bearing in mind that Castle Bravo was massively in excess of its prediction.
Back in the day we web devs would be regularly told that only targeting 97% of visitors through only supporting IE was not good enough, and that 3% counted...
On that basis, 27% of market share is a little more to worry about.
With all due respect, go fuck yourself. We have a right to criticise this woman for her public comments and beliefs, and in this case its very obvious she is clutching at external reasons for the suicide when there were lots of things she could have done differently to molly coddle the kid.
This won't happen any time in the next 20 years - and certainly not by 2020. It is going to take Boeing the next two years to certify relatively minor changes to the 737 for the MAX program, and thats mainly engine related - designing and certifying a detachable passenger cabin will take much much longer than that, especially as the regulations for it would have to be set before the certification could be completed.
A rather smaller example was that Boeing tried to sell the idea of 777s with folding wing tips, so they could use then-current terminal gates (for which the 777 wingspan was too large.) Nobody took them up on it.
That idea has made a comeback with the 777X series, but with a much better design - the reason it failed before was because it added a lot of weight, as the fold was inboard of the ailerons, meaning that there had to be a complicated system for attaching and detaching the control mechanisms which was heavy. The new design is outboard of the ailerons, meaning its just dumb wing and thus the locking mechanism is a lot lighter.
Uh, symptoms can be perfectly real while the diagnosis can be at fault - were the fluorescent bulbs in particular parts of the school cycling at a slightly odd frequency causing her to feel ill rather than being affected by wifi? Same symptoms, different diagnosis.
Someone may be dying of cancer while blaming the devil for their illness - the problem is real and still needs to be treated, while the diagnosis is bollocks.
Daughter kills herself, mother wants to blame everyone but herself.
If the mother really believed in the condition, why wasn't she home schooling the daughter after the school refused to remove the equipment on a whim? Also, what the hell did they do about their neighbours etc and why did the daughter have a mobile phone?! Did the creators of the 802.11 spec magically choose the single frequency that affected this girl, among all the billions of others?
And your opinion is the only one that counts, right? I don't see anyone tying you down and forcing you to watch or listen to it, so why are you bothering to complain about it?
As opposed to someone getting something for nothing...? You are more than welcome to not agree to the repayment terms and not get the "free" education in return.
You can hardly take a single step in here without someone making some baseless comment about indentured servitude or robber barons. How about you get some proper education and discover the real meaning of those terms rather than using them as the basis of some pathetic comment, eh?
No, they aren't - but the Kurds are busy conducting their own little war against Turkey in the south of the country in which things have got pretty nasty.
The situation between Turkey and ISIS is actually a lot more murky than you would think - Turkey has actually actively collaborated with ISIS on occasion when it comes to fighting the Kurds (which Turkey has a long standing conflict with). Turkey has also actively protested Russian targets within Syria as they are pro-Turkey factions of ISIS.
Turkey will play the anti-ISIS game only as long as they have to in order to keep up international appearances - behind the scenes, the game is played completely differently.
Why would there be any question about the legality of this? Yahoo! doesn't have to allow you access to its service, and its now setting requirements to do so.
French police found an unencrypted, unlocked phone in a trash bin outside the Bataclan concert hall in Paris that contained a text sent in the clear: “On est parti on commence.” (“Let’s go, we’re starting”).

They are after him for unrelated tax issues, not because he is the creator of Bitcoin.

Completely illegal in the UK, as is pretty much any changes to the number plate - you cant even change the spacing between characters.
In the UK, illegal landlords. Putting 5 families into a normal house, well beyond the legal limits, knowing the families cannot raise complaints.
Sennas death had nothing at all to do with his approach during races - there were a boat load of factors riding against him on that fateful lap.
Your opinion? Well, thats something I can agree with...
And your opinion is the only one that counts, right? I don't see anyone tying you down and forcing you to watch or listen to it, so why are you bothering to complain about it?
Did you simply ignore the Kickstarter that currently holds the number 1 spot, the Veronica Mars movie which not only was delivered but made money!

By the way, Russia has a long history of violating the airspace of other nations. I'm surprised there hasn't been such an incident earlier.
This is ironic considering Turkey lost an F-4 to Syrian air defence a couple of years ago after the Turkish aircraft violated Syrian airspace...
