Me too. I mean how could he claim it after his lifetime?
It could have been claimed on his behalf after his death. After all, what we know about the subject is what people have written about it, not necessarily what actually happened....
That's the problem right there: the Warthog is beloved by the Army troops, and that's why the Air Force generals hate it so.
This.
Since even before the inception of the Air Force (it was the Army Air Corps in WW2), they've just hated the idea of having to actually support the guys on the ground.
Hell, they're still pissed that helicopters aren't restricted to the Air Force only - think of all those Army choppers helping the grunts in the field....
A jdam is a complete package of dumb bomb, sensors and guidance package. Think of it as the short range JSOW (all of the above + large fins that let it glide long range to target. Source - I'm a former EOD tech.
So we should report you? Or can you cite non-classified materials?
Hmm, seems to me this was mentioned in some of Tom Clancy's books back in the day. I seriously doubt it's classified if it's mentioned in a best-selling novel almost as old as some of the pilots...
Come to that, it's in the wikipedia article as well.
It should be noted that this has happened before in the Atlantic. The only thing interesting is that we've never actually noticed this happening in the Pacific before (big ocean, and until satellites, a lot of it was pretty much ignored global-weather-wise).
Traditional reasons for the differences in names between oceans, otherwise, God only knows why we don't just pick a word and stick with it - not like there's a functional difference....
Umm, might want to go to one of the Concentration Camps. 40 years or so ago, when I went to high school as an American dependent in Germany, field trips to Concentration Camps were a standard part of the school year.
The displays didn't actually leave much to the imagination. Enough that there were a few people upchucking during the tour....
...that Obama can stop this with a simple phone call.
Yep, her sure can. The fact that he hasn't in six+ years speaks volumes.
And he can make sure it doesn't happen again with a stroke of his E.O. Pen.
Umm, no. Actually he can't.
Yes, he can make an Executive Order making this go away, if he chooses.
Alas, the next President (or even Obama himself, afterwards) can make an Executive Order allowing this to restart. One President's Executive Orders are not binding on later Presidents if they choose to use their own Executive Order powers....
If the results of an experiment are due to an error, then the conclusion of the experiment is invalid.
So, how does one go about proving that the ORIGINAL results were the result of an error, as opposed to the later results meant to verify the original results?
C'mon, it's just as likely that an error was introduced in newer code than that one was fixed....
No, it won't. The system is designed for a reasonable facsimile of worst case right now. Long before Sea Level rise has raised it a foot (~400 years), we'll have added a foot onto the top of the existing levees, since we do levee maintenance more or less continuously.
Note that Katrina was more or less a "worst case" scenario. It screwed things up so badly that the next year's Mardi Gras was delayed a whole ZERO days....
It should be noted that with the current levees around New Orleans, the sea level rise referred to in TFS will become a problem somewhere around 4000AD (the city averages about 500 mm below sea level, the levees rather more than 1500 mm above sea level)....
And this assumes we don't just shovel another foot of dirt onto the levees every couple centuries....
I don't know any place you'd put a cop instead of a traffic light
The same sort of place you'd use a school crossing guard - iow, a place where vehicle and pedestrian traffic peaks clump irregularly.
Of course, you usually have the traffic light in spots like that also. But the presence of the human controller means you ignore the light and pay attention to the human.

645.
Typo (hopefully, as opposed to willful disinformation) in TFS. The actual range is 568 to 645. Which conveniently spans the Prophet's lifetime.
Which means it might have predated the Prophet. Or it might not.
It should also be noted from TFA that ~90% of birds have eaten plastic now.
So what the article is really saying is that the number of birds eating plastic will have risen 10% in the next 35 years.
Somehow I don't think that that's going to be that big a deal.
Never mind that the "garbage patches" aren't places that most birds ever see, so the concentration of plastic there is irrelevant.
This.

This isn't the first time that's happened. The Phantom II was a result of much the same sort of decision.
Hmm, seems to me this was mentioned in some of Tom Clancy's books back in the day. I seriously doubt it's classified if it's mentioned in a best-selling novel almost as old as some of the pilots...

I know grammar is a foreign concept here, but couldn't the editors try to do a little of it now and then?
I mean, the editors actually doing their job once a day probably wouldn't hurt...much.

Typhoons, usually.

I think the "fugitive from justice" part still applies.

Umm...if you can launch a satellite into LEO you can do the ICBM thing. Or even a FOBS. Doesn't take geostationary orbital capability.
Note that India has been capable of reaching LEO since 1980.
No, it won't. The system is designed for a reasonable facsimile of worst case right now. Long before Sea Level rise has raised it a foot (~400 years), we'll have added a foot onto the top of the existing levees, since we do levee maintenance more or less continuously.

I'm not sure why Harvard is supposed to be doing something that building inspectors normally do.
Though maybe you meant "peer", not "pier"...never mind.
Really??? Already?
So, Florida is already being adversely impacted by the THREE INCH increase in sea level since WORLD WAR ONE?!?
Wow, I'm impressed...that Floridians are stupid enough to think that three inches per century has had an "impact" on their lives....
It should be noted that with the current levees around New Orleans, the sea level rise referred to in TFS will become a problem somewhere around 4000AD (the city averages about 500 mm below sea level, the levees rather more than 1500 mm above sea level)....

Or, y'know, building a bunch of nuclear plants.
Or, y'know, taking advantage of all that newly available sunlight to build large-scale solar stills.
Or....
Ahhh. I had assumed the camera was on a traffic light. My bad.
The same sort of place you'd use a school crossing guard - iow, a place where vehicle and pedestrian traffic peaks clump irregularly.
Of course, you usually have the traffic light in spots like that also. But the presence of the human controller means you ignore the light and pay attention to the human.
More like "two bytes for camera ID number". You don't need to log lat/lon for each pic, when you know the lat/lon of the camera.
Actually, COTS mean Commercial Off The Shelf. It was originally a military acronym dealing with things that didn't need a MilSpec....
You might have misspelled "might have" also.
Oh, nonsense! It complies for better than 13 hours on Christmas, just to give you a treat....
