Uh, no. It's nothing, at all, like the DreamLiner. And who in the industry is saying they won't make money on it? They have years worth of production already sold.
The problem is that they are trying to make this A/C do mutually exclusive things, which doesn't generally end well. Again.
A Texan who can't see why this event is a problem, and blaming the media and teachers? How quaint.
That, and the original story, puts me into stereotype overload, and I'm not even on my 2nd cup of coffee yet.
Just an FYI: That's not at all "just like everywhere else". Feel free to ignore that info, though, as I am not a Texan and prolly can't be trusted. smh
"I'd assume it would be unambiguous too, it's implied that they will operate, and operate in the environment for which they were sold."
That's a wildly flawed assumption. Almost comically flawed assumption. Boeing specs are exhausting. Their resistance to EMR would have been detailed and thoroughly tested, as would every other operating parameter.
Boeing typically writes the specs and vendors build to those specs. Perhaps they should use the same displays that the 787 has. Those are quite nice.;)
Not to split hairs, but I meant 'Never,ever happen', not 'Never, ever happened'. Past tense vs present tense, and those examples are way past tense. I don't think that would ever happen now, that the AF would intend to let a A/C be developed for the Navy first and then adapt it for their use.
When has this misguided notion that we can have 1 base A/C be all things to all branches EVER worked out?
F-111 anyone?
The F-14 was a great A/C. For the Navy. The F-15 is one of the best ever, but would be useless as a carrier based A/C. Anyone around fro all the fun and games that was involved in the F/A-18A rollout, and what was required for that to become a useful platform?
This flawed paradigm is why the A-6 was around for so long, they couldn't field a suitable replacement.
I expect that by the time the F-35 is out and working for everyone, it will cost the same as 3 well run, more narrowly scoped projects.
I just resigned from my position at a large bank last week. It pays well, but it is soul-sucking drag.
I am going back to school (U of Iowa) to finish my Physics degree. It will be nice to get off the sidelines and join in the fight to help save the integrity of our scientific communities. Not sure how much I will actually add, but I will enjoy being on the side that is actively battling these knuckleheads who use the general populace' lack of scientific knowledge to confuse and pervert the body of scientific knowledge to advance thier pathetic political agenda.
"So take your religion and shove it up your arse."
No, no, sticking thing up the arse is not permitted. There isn't a Commandment or anything, but still not allowed.
And as near as I can tell those 10 Commandments only apply to people you like. Killing, lying, stealing, etc seem to be OK if the victim doesn't go to your church.
"OK, glad we all could make it! Everyone on the phone hear me OK? Great! Ok, first we will start out with Bobs PowerPoint on the exciting history of the word "My" and its long association with MicroSoft, then Shelly will............"
The damn thing isn't helping find Evil Dewers (tm). I hasn't promoted freedom or democracy to any oil rich Arab nations.
The only people who use it are a bunch of aethist science guys, who only use science to undermine the rich Christain heritage of this fine country. Hell, who put that thing up there any? Probably Hillary Clinton behind the whole thing.
"It's hard to take the "we don't need to send humans to Mars, we can explore with rovers" crowd seriously when our best and brightest rover covers only two miles of ground in an entire year."
Uh, OK. That is because it was designed to cover more than 2 miles and didn't? Or is the traveled distance the limiting factor up there? Or a human based system would have been designed for 3 months and lasted for 12, or been less expensive?
No point in knowing what the hell your talking about, apparently.

That's true, Texans always blame the Clinton WH.
Well. Not ALWAYS.
I kid.

That should take care of it once and for all then. Glad that's resolved. (insert obligatory face-palm here)
Nor by having a fire hose turned on you nor have police dogs set on you as you cross a bridge....
"It's unlikely that a high school student would come away with any other conclusion than the police are a fearful group to be avoided at all costs,"
Of course they will 'come away with' that conclusion. The went IN having already concluded that, based on the evidence before them.
"I'd assume it would be unambiguous too, it's implied that they will operate, and operate in the environment for which they were sold."

"no one sends fighters against each other for a dogfight anymore"
Every generation re-learns the falsehood of that kind of thinking at the expense of pilots and planes.
That shouldn't affect my calculus or physics literacy, right? Freedom of religion and all.......
Otherwise it is just a waste of money. Learned that the hard way ........
All CS or Engineering here.

"Did you know though that the excellent F-14 was built in large part from spare parts (radar, engines, etc.) from the turkey F-111 program?"
Ya, vaguely familiar. Spent my 20's at Miramar working on F-14A+'s.
"It makes a lot more sense to first build a plane for the navy, and then have the air force adopt it."
Never, ever happen. AF is a bigger contract and has WAY more political clout. They always trump the squids.

"So now, instead of a village in the Phillipines using relatively clean water that's been percalating through a forested area...."
Having been to the Phillipines a couple of times I have to wonder WTF you are talking about. Clean water is a huge problem in the P.I.

Hope that helps.
Jeepers, the degree of difficulty for the mental gymnastics today is impressive.
I can never tell if these types of posts are serious or just a good troll.
It's not a bug. It's feature.
AND, we didn't even charge you for it.

I am just curious how long all the Limbaugh devotees are going to keep urinating all over themselves about the Clintons.
They are out of the White House.
Hve been for years.
Grow up.
