To tag onto that a little bit, Secret is usually need to know. I know the security clearance I have doesn't let me look at everything classified Secret. Only things I need to do my job.
close but no cigar. I know you want to drive your anti-Xbox point home, but at least get your facts straight. It's around $50 US for the annual gold membership. I pay that price because it keeps (most of) the cheaters out and my experience that much better.
Well, for starters, we're not in the business of killing large swaths of people at random. Regardless of a smattering of isolated instances (to the best of my recollection), the military actually trains to achieve certain objectives. Whether it be killing people, providing humanitarian aid, or whatever the situation dictates; it's not for pleasure. Your crass observation of the military is undeserved. With that being said, why would the military want to kill animals unintentionally?
I know that the military is viewed as some large killing machine bent on world domination, but remember that there's real actual people forming our armed services.
Actually, with AC voltage, when voltage increases current decreases. They can pump much higher voltages to a transformer and step it down. The exact opposite is true for DC current. IANAEE.. but i play one for the military.
No I didn't RTFA, but I don't think that's what they're getting at. Putting "bling" into it does nothing but cheapen the field as a whole. They should be showing kids how physics is applicable in what interests them IE: breakdancing, extreme sports, and the like. Doing so does no less for physics than teaching basic physics in school.
It's incomprehensible how many "educated minds" want to keep the field closed to everyday people.
Correct me if I'm wrong but increasing the appeal of physics would attract more people, therefore bringing more bright people to the field. I'm failing to see where that'd be a bad thing. Don't let your elitism get in the way of broadening the appeal of the field.
AMEN.. I do computer repairs as a hobby of mine and my boss had a Gateway. The motherboard and processor shat themselves and it was up to me to fix it. Turns out, I had to dremel the peripherals out and leave some screws out of the mobo. It runs like a champ now, though.
I would make an "insensitive clod" joke here but it's getting kinda old so i'll bring up this point: What about the people who don't need cruise control? If you're driving a sports car for racing, but you still need a ride to and fro work, then it's not such a bad thing.
just a lil FYI but in the navy, Hydraulics and airframes are done by the same rate. Someone Qualified as a CDQAR (collateral duty quality assurance representative) in all these fields would keep it in the air for quite some time. I've seen 4 guys change a T56-400 engine on a p-3c Orion in just under eight hours.. with rigging and everything. Oh, and sign me up, I'll be the AE (AE2 to be more specific).
Getting kinda O/T but i'd like to elaborate on this. Working for an electronics company doing menial hardware manufacturing (there is such a thing), they had 3 different classifications for their goods: consumer grade, medical grade, and Governmental grade. IIRC, they were grades one through three, one being consumer and so forth. As you go up the ladder, there's less and less room for error so they put more QC in place for the governmental than the medical ect because when they say "mission critical", they really mean it. I'm now an electrician for the navy though and i'm still wondering why they would pay $136 for a self-actuating switch.. just my.02
Funny thing but, with some nondestructive inspection and the little assembly, it SHOULD be ready for flight. Contrary to popular belief, with the right test sets and publications, militry aircraft aren't all that hard to work on. Hell, I believe that particular aircraft has such instrumentation that it actually tells you what's wrong with it. It's probably missing all of it's spook gear and i wouldn't want to be the one who did the checkflight on it.
This is slightly o/t but when does it go from "I don't care what happens to my music as long as it gets out there" to "it's my IP and I want complete control over it"? Greed is a powerful demon but I guess people just don't see where they come from. I'm an aspiring producer and i dont give a shit what who does with my music, as long as they don't claim it's theirs./rant
Okay, so here's a question... Where's the NOx going to go with no paint in the picture? Is it gonna magically disappear? These guys are trying to do something positive for the environment, don't kick 'em.
Two years ago, SCO claimed that it owned more than 800,000 lines of the system which had always been available for free and to anyone since its invention in 1991.
Why don't Steven Evans tell the whole story about SCO's claims being unsubstantiated? Maybe the guy didn't care or was serving his own agenda's? Either way, this is objective reporting at it's finest.
Considering that people now-a-days are installing Linux on them, doesn't it seem like users are shooting Microshaft in the foot? Granted all the fair use crap that I'm going to be flamed with but seeing things from the marketing side of things, it's just more profitable to make the HDD an add-on.
And on a side note, what's going to happen to the "WinTel" pact going on when this finally makes it to market? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Okay, last week i was driving through Tifton, GA and I saw about 5 or 10 billboards on I-75. They all read "Come to Tifton, the most literate place in the WORLD." "Come to Tifton, the most technologically advanced city in the WORLD." or something to that effect. Now granted, they're lying... especially that place but they're spending money on marketing to get people to move there or vacation there. The local chamber of commerce could budget for such a program and improve their overall city image. It's not cheap but it would look good for the marketing campaign. All I'm saying is there's money for it, they're just not looking in the right places.
I'm no expert on the situation, but in the Navy, when they're making flight-ops plans, they make sure they go around large flocks. The weather radars will give a reflection for large flocks, and the aerography guys know what's fowl and what's weather. Keeps the navy from F.O.D.ing the engines out with animal parts. It's the single birds they gotta worry about. Damn Turkey Buzzards;\

Totally OT, but it's funny that I know the Log Song from Ren and Stimpy.. and I don't know the words to the Slinky commercial.

Funny thing: before I moved here from Florida, I used to hear about "The People's Republic of Virginia". Turns out, they were right.
uhmmmmmm.. isn't that spyware?

uhmmmmmmm... on the contrary. try this on for size. I hear it's a decent game.

actually, to be an officer in the military you must attend college.. but it doesn't make someone wise or insightful.. just educated.

If the market is sooo "crowded", then why am i STILL paying upwards of $50 for barely on cable internet?
