A war in Iran would never be as easy as a war on Iraq. The country is larger and the geography is totally different. Iran is a mountain country for the most part so not exactly prime tank terrain.
Most issues with the F-14 were due to the engine which was shared with the F-111. Once those engines were swapped for F-15 engines (F-14D) that stopped being a problem.
Sampling means they are receiving the first prototype chips from the fab. If the chips work fine they go into full scale production. If they are not fine they need to create a new stepping to fix bugs, test that and later get into production.
Well. Atoms are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Which in turn are made of quarks. So who knows. Perhaps you can actually go subatomic. But it won't be easy.
Same here. I think it is fairly dumb for them to make their own special cased categories. e.g. I could care less about "promotions". Instead they should just make it simpler to make categories (although IMO there is nothing wrong with the current way to do them).
For what? Wanting to develop nuclear weapons in order to maintain their regime in power and not be susceptible to foreign intervention? Even those people in the right wing of the US political spectrum aren't stupid enough not to recognize this for what it is. Plus after Saddam and Gaddafi (who voluntarily abandoned his nuclear weapons program to find himself and his family killed by a Western sponsored Al-Qaeda rebellion in Libya) do you honestly think they have any other path to follow?
There was more than the Stuxnet attack on the uranium centrifugues. Iran alleges there were cyberwarfare attacks on their oil pipeline infrastructure. Plus there have been targeted assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists.
GMail regularly nags me to put my cellphone number there as well. Ever since Facebook started using this crap the other major sites have started using this to uniquely identify you thought your phone bill. Stuff them.
Youtube doesn't have a lot of mainstream TV shows in there. What they need is more deals to get those online. The question is if buying Hulu just to get those contracts would be worth it or not.
There were many voluntaries from all around the world fighting in the Spanish Civil War. As there were Spanish voluntaries fighting in WWII. But those countries did not send weapons or supplies there.
Do you program using kernel interrupts or access some library? More than likely you are accessing some library. Which is accessing the C library. Which then calls the kernel.
Spain did not take part in WWII but they had their own Civil War before WWII started. In fact many of the tactics used in WWII were developed during the Spanish Civil War as German, Italian, and Soviet advisors and weapons fought on both sides.
As an example NY State gave $1.37 billion in financial incentives to GlobalFoundries in order for them to locate a plant there. These included $665 million in capital. That was one plant. Semiconductor manufacturing plants typically double in price with each manufacturing node generation. The commission wants to fund 450mm plants which will be a helluva more expensive. All those billions will probably only be enough to fund 2-3 leading edge fabs.
Most of the money will likely go to GlobalFoundries and Siemens in Dresden and STMicro in Grenoble. My guess is the EU Commission will grant the funds to any corporation willing to erect a manufacturing plant in those places. It does not necessarily need to have their corporate headquarters in the EU.
The rest of the money will likely go to the Netherlands in order for ASML to create the next generation lithography tools.

This guy has been a leader in Turkey for a decade already. In many democracies he would have expired his term limits by now.
Just hope the iPhone "photographers" aren't taking snaps indoors or at high speed targets. Or at far-away targets for that matter.
Copper wire is more valuable than fiber so that changes the economics somewhat.
You can always convert to Christianity like a lot of the poorer people in Southern India have been doing.

So you say. But Theocratic Iran never launched a military invasion of its neighbors while it has been invaded a couple of times.

Designed in California, Parts manufactured in South Korea and Taiwan. Assembled in China would be even more accurate.

Depends on the type of memory. DRAM is made of capacitors.

AFAIK the major problem is actually tritium decay rather than the heavy elements in a bomb.

PS: I'm not interested in a nuclear Iran but it is quite clear this is nearly inevitable.

Naive.

The US sowed this so now they must reap it.

IBM used to manufacture disk drives but they sold that off a long time ago.
