No surface ship is getting within even 200 km. of that carrier let alone 65 km.
Since the break-up of the USSR there is no one (or not even everyone together) who can challenge the U.S. on the seas. Period.
Do I sense some overconfidence in the superiority of the US navy?
Getting close to the carrier? No problemo. We simply use the Swedish stealth corvette "Visby". It is one of the stealtiest ships out there.
Pictures and specifications
Aside from "Visby", there are numurous other ships with varying degree of stealth technology within EU.
You will never know what hit you:-)
Well, the movie industry did actually touch on the sept 11th thing before it happened. About half a year earlier, in an episode of "the lone gunmen" a plane is wired to crash into the New York tradecenter.
Twisted pairs does not solve the problem, the signals are unbalanced. Twisted pair wire is for balanced signals. IDE cables should be left flat, that's the only way to preserve signal quality.
Why it does not support win98... might be because at least some versions of win98 has no USB support during setup (if I remember correctly).
Exactly!
The RS232 is clean and simple.
I really don't understand why they introduced the PS/2 mouse interface at all... The RS232 is perfectly capable of handling any mouse with any refreshrate.
Only thing I can think of is the lack of a built in power supply in the RS232 port (might be a problem for power hungry optical mice). But if that's the only problem, why not make a extended RS232 interface?
As for the paralell port, well... in EPP or ECP mode it's actually sometimes faster than USB 1.0
And it's really easy to work with.
That's funny. I read about the USB standard when it was introduced. they cut the prices of the required hardware by excluding complicated stuff like DMA.
A PC without RS232 ?!
Now, the RS232 is probably the industrys most common interface.
It's clean, it's simple, it's fast (using proper interrupts, compared to USB style).
They claim that this board is aimed at the geek market.
Ok... Let me ask one thing... the USB interface, is it amined at the geek market? Noo, it's supposed to simlify things for non geeks.
Geeks work closer to the research at university's and the industry. You wount find USB in either places.
Geeks use real ports, like the RS232, RS485 (a great multidrop interface that supports up to 10Mbit and 1km long wires!, and is as cheap and simple as RS232, but sadly enough it is only used in the industry)
I consider myself fairly geeky, I'am a hardware designer and embedded software programmer.
Ths USB is a insanely complex interface software wise, it consumes lot's of CPU power since it lacks DMA support (everything except USB and the floppy has DMA theese days), and it sucks at realtime applications (anyone with a USB mouse knows that).
I don't want this board. And I'd advise anyone against buying it, since it lacks proper ports.
The only ones that might want this board are OEM's (everything integrated, and only USB ports so that stupid users don't get confused by all the ports)
Oh... Yes... There is another niche.. It might get the warez server market because of all the IDE chanels.

You looked at the wrong list. IEEE has the MAC number block vendor register.
