    "American ideology"?

    Surely an 'ideal' that you do not work toward in any way and in fact violate constantly safe in the knowledge that at least your ideals are okay is worth less than nothing.

    Perhaps you were mistakenly talking about Canada.

    Speaking of 9 out of 10 success rates and dropping bombs, wasn't that the success rate of US bombing missions during the Gulf War?

    Presumably they weren't using any of those fancy military grade bits of equipment you're so good at inventing out of thin air and flatulance.

    That kind of efficiency is not what turbines have ever been used for.

    Their advantage lies in their power to weight ratio.

    Essentially you won't see fuel cells replacing turbines in helicopters anytime soon unless the power to weight ratio disadvantage is outweighed by a need for low noise or heat output.

    A set of these things would be great to power a tiny helicopter for your smaller pets.

    Because the next frame is calculated when the last frame has finished rendering rather than when the monitor has finished displaying the last frame.
    The amount of time between positions of data on screen being calculated and you seeing it when the monitor next refreshes is extremely variable.
    This is the main reason a console game at 30fps appears so much smoother than a pc game at 100 fps (average).
    Consoles are generally locked to the screen refresh, they calculate geometry postions exactly 60/50/30/25/whatever times per second, then draw the frame to the back buffer and switch back with front during the vertical blanking interval of the television so you don't notice tearing like you do on a pc with sync disabled. If the frame isn't completed by the time the vbi occurs the frame is dropped. Because frame dropping is extremely noticeable game makers try to ensure it doesn't happen so consoles spend a lot of time idling between frames during less busy moments.

    I had a similar experience.
    The courier turned up before the usual 11:00am - 2:00 pm Parcel Farce delivery slot.
    At 7:00 am to be precise.

    I was in such a state of shock I don't remember anything else.

    Compared to any US delivery firm though, even Parcel Farce is acceptable at half the price, a quarter of the delivery time and a tenth of the damage.

    Dunno why Yanks put up with it, I suppose they just don't know any better.
