A trademark is a symbol - it identifies a product, but it is not part of the product. You hear the NBC chimes coming over a speaker, you think to yourself "ah, I'm listening to NBC programming; what I'm about to hear is a product of NBC"; but you don't listen to NBC to hear the chime.
I think this works with NBC because they were using the chimes in the days before TV. Having trademarked interlocking letters or stylized peacock doesn't do much good when you're airing a radio program. Where as a distinctive arrangement of tones works pretty well.
Don't confuse number of hard points with a better ability to conduct ground attack missions.
Compared to the JSF, the F-22 Raptor is indeed larger in size and internal volume. Nevertheless, the F-22 suffers from one key limitation. Its center bays were designed around the AIM-120 AMRAAM that is only about 12 ft (3.65 m) in length and has a maximum fin span of about 1.5 ft (0.45 m). These dimensions are quite sufficient for the aircraft's primary role as an air superiority fighter. However, the end of the Cold War forced the Air Force to change priorities and give the F-22 a stronger ground attack capability. Unfortunately, most air-to-ground weapons are significantly longer, wider, taller, and heavier than the AIM-120, making it difficult to integrate such weapons into the F-22 bays. The only weapon that has been integrated so far is the GBU-32 JDAM, a GPS-guided bomb that is about 10 ft (3.05 m) in length and is based on the 1,000 lb (455 kg) Mk-83 general purpose bomb.
Most air-to-surface weapons are in the 2,000-lb (910 kg) class, however, but these weapons are usually around 12.5 to 14 ft (3.80 to 4.25 m) long and too large to fit within the F-22. Bearing these limitations in mind, JSF designers purposefully sized the two internal bays around these larger 2,000-lb class weapons. The two weapons that have predominantly dictated the overall length and depth of the bays are the AGM-154 JSOW and the GBU-31 2,000 lb (910 kg) version of JDAM.
So any major stand-off ground attack weapon (JSOW, JDAM) will have to be carried externally on the F-22.
Yea man. Center mass is what it's all about at 500 meters. Even though I had 20/20 back in the day that strategy usually gave me 7-8 shots in the black from 500m.
Unfortunately I never shot expert until just before I got out when I finally got to use the M-16A2. With the added.75" in the length of the stock I no longer had the rear sight assembly smacking me in the eyebrow with every shot from sitting position (which accounted for 20 out of 50 rounds.)
by the end of the week I looked liked I'd been in a prize fight. Still managed to qual as a sharpshooter my whole tour despite flinching on almost half of the shots I fired.
When I asked him once how he got to be an officer so fast he joked (I *hope* he was joking, anyway) that any Marine who could read and write was immediately promoted to officer.
Amen
When I was stationed at Camp LeJeune I'd travel I-95 up to Alexandria on long weekends to see my future ex-wife. And in the middle of Bum Fuck Nowhere NC or VA there would be a mile long back up because some one was changing their tire well off the road.
Sometimes by the time traffic started flowing whatever the rubber-neckers were looking at was gone so I never even knew why I'd been creeping along at 5 mph for the last 20 min.
Not to mention the way they're raking internet radio over the coals.
I've probably bought $50-$80 worth of music over the last 2 years that I'd have never heard of without soma.fm's Bootliquor station.
That's a combo of physical CD's, and downloads from both Amazon, and iTunes.
Recently on a trip to pick up vehicle, my friend was using his tom-tom to find the place.This was a rural road with long driveways and very few addresses marked at the road. It kept directing us to follow the road we were on even after we were well in to the 2500 block, when the address was 1800 something.
After a while I got pissed and entered the address on my cell. We were there 2 minutes later.
So I don't put much faith in there being an inherent quality difference between a standalone unit and a cell phone. And I just have a bare bones LG phone using Verizon's BS nav software.
I swear this is this most asinine thing around in the man made climate change circles. And yet it comes up again and again!
There are environmental issues with industrial livestock production. I just don't think this has a big enough impact on the environment to warrant the effort put into it.
As some one who lives in So. Maryland and enjoys kayaking in the Chesapeake Bay watershed I'm much more concerned with the nitrogen run-off from all of the poultry farms on the eastern shore. But Tyson, Purdue, etc. have such a large lobby (money wise at least) There won't be too much done about it.
Not to say that the Bay hasn't gotten healthier in the 25 years I've been living here. But between agricultural run-off and turning wetlands into housing developments it's not as good as it could be.
My first engineering class after leaving the Marine Corps in '86 was a 3 credit hour class that met twice a week. The first class each week focused on engineering graphics (drafting), the second was Fortran 77 programming.
The computers in the lab were, I believe, 286 based Epson machines with dual 5.25" drives, running MS-DOS. As an added bonus our "development environment" as you say now, was edlin!
At that time I had no personal experience with computers. I didn't know the difference between the OS, the text editor, and the compiler. Yet I had no problems with picking up the concepts and learning how to use both the language and a general use computer. I guess it was unofficially a trial by fire computer literacy class too.
Since then I've taught myself enough of a couple of different programming languages that I needed in the course of my work. Back in the day Lisp was the daddy for customizing and automating AutoCAD!
Dude are you off your meds or something?
With a UID number such as yours I'd think that by now you would know better. Most of these threads are filled with comments from people who think that since they perceive themselves as having expertise in one field they think they are qualified to comment in an other completely unrelated area.
Hell coming here to read that type stuff is half the fun for me!
Just because in this instance they're doing it in your area of expertise doesn't mean that you ranting and spouting vindictives at them will change that behavior.
He didn't say that the F-15 is FBW, he was talking about a flight control computer.
Just because something has mechanical controls doesn't mean that there isn't a piece of avionics gear capable of limiting/dampening the control inputs.
Accountants have CPAs, doctors have MCAT, lawyers have LSAT.
Although you're making a fairly valid point you're off on who the accreditation for MD's and lawyers come from. MCAT and LSAT are exams for getting into medical or law school after earning your undergrad degree.
The MD equivalent of being a CPA is to pass the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) exam. This is what they mean when a doctor is said to be board certified.
For lawyers it is to pass the American Bar Association exam. AKA "passing the bar"
Ole Woody wasn't too big on copyright himself as evidenced by this quote in reference to "This Land Is My Land".
"This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do." Woody Guthrie
As far as the recovery of the recording being something that's covered as a creative work. Unless he changed the arrangement in some way I don't think copyright is applicable. But who knows anymore?
I was at Ft. McCoy in February of '86 for cold weather training. At that time it was a back water WWII era post with barracks from the same time frame. Froze my ass off on a 10 day field op dragging an 81mm mortar in sled around the frozen tundra.

Why? Did your dog come from the moon?
That would account for the percentage of musicians that smoke. But then again a lot them are schitzophrenic as well as being creative.

Don't know about during Korea, but these days the Corps has one of the higher testing/education level requirements for enlistment. http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/genjoin/a/asvabminimum.htm
We just like to joke about strong back, weak mind sort of things.

Come on. You know they push through many Mickey Mouse acts every year.
Unless of course you're serious. If you are serious I'd like to know why your mother looks like the monster under my bed.
Well what about FORTRAN 77 then?

Where I live AT&T's signal is almost nonexistent. Since my cell is my home phone as well, that makes it a non-starter for me.
You do realize that there is nothing about single payer in the current legislation.

At work I run a quad core machine with loads of RAM and drive space for solid modeling, CAD. graphics and video editing.
But I'm writing this on an eee pc, or I could've gone inside and used my G4 based iMac.

I think people are missing your "Casablanca" reference.
Too bad because it is very clever.
