Operational amplifiers ( analog compter) could easily replace the computer systems that operate the engines and transmissions of automobiles. Problem for the Dealer/manufacturer is they can easily be adjusted by a screw driver and oscilloscope and Digital Voltmeter. After all they cannot supply the puter with data because all the sensors are analog & have to be converted to digital for the computer. Take ____________ out of your car to the dealer for reprogrammiing and they will glad exchange yours for a "new" one. You have to fill in the blank because each manufacturer has a different name for the black box that controls the basic functions.
Not surprised, I worked in the VA.gov. I had to send specific print jobs to specific printers. If that particular printer broke down. The procedure was to call the Monday to Friday PAC (a semi computer literate chosen by the fem stud division chief, because she needed the 10% extra salary to feed her children) & then she would call the IT department after scratching her head for an hour. Lets say it was Friday, IT dept rep would look the job over & decide a new printer was required. On they way out I would say why don't you just reboot the print server 1st or reconfigure printer B to do the job. Then I would get the your really are crazy look & he/she would slither off down the hallway to the IT department. I would come in Saturday & the boss would tell me it was still messed up. I would then go over to printer B reconfigure it to accept the jobs. The jobs that were intended for printer B could done on printer C without changes. I would tell him use printer C for his other reports. On Sunday evening I would set the printer back to the original setting. The weekend super would not say anything because he needed the printer also for his job. Why all the song and dance. Because I was not qualified ( I was not someone's special friend or relative) I was not chosen & forbidden to change the printer settings. BTW A+, MCSE or CNE or miltary MOS were not considered qualifications to be considered 1st, before you picked the the curvy young black female to become a VA IT tech. I don't expect that any other government department is ran differently. In the entire 11 years I worked there the IT department could not figure out how to configure Richo office machines to be used as printers, and it took 8 years to figure out what the machine's phone thingy was for. They were always whining about paper consumption, but did not know how to set up access codes to the machine. Are you surprised the government is broke & your taxes are high & going higher? As for hiring contractors, after they gone, those same "qualified individuals" will bullox it up & then won't call the contractor back because the project funding has mismanaged.
The least qualified lead, the uninspired follow. Then the safety, procedure & policy directors determined you can only use your left hand on odd days to type code & right hand to type on even days only, & 1 finger only on Friday. The purpose is prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome.
One of my high school physics mid term questions: How much energy in joules required to launch a 100 ton mass from the earth to the moon? How much to launch the same mass from the earth to the moon? Since then I have known that the logistics problem lies in getting enough equipment there to establish & maintain a presence without need for further resupply from earth. Simply put mining equipment is not light.
I won't play even if I got all the updates for free. I revise and upgrade my gamer every 3-6 months. If the software does not recognize that this the same user, and basically the same computer, then a purchase of the the next ver is not going happen. Yes, I do know about Steam.
There is a big difference in DoD vs VHA. In all the DoD situations there is more dedication to duty. In the VHA it was more dedication to "Go a long to get along" with people coming in and out of the offices all day just visiting. In the DoD inter office visit traffic was 10% of VHA. Was this productive visiting in the VHA? Most of the time it was just the gossip manure spreader making the rounds. Refrigeration units down and repaired into the junk pile. IM equipment never was cleaned. I am amazed that some of it worked for as many years it did. There is a current project that was scheduled to be in place at the end of this month after 9 months of prep. That project is on delay. Ready in Nov 5 of this year?. The 3 year warranty for the equipment purchased for this project will probably expire before it is ever plugged in. My bosses manure spreading duties superceeded her need to be be in meetings with contracted consultant. Now she does not know what the equipment is for, how it is supposed to be placed, its' limitations and capabilities. The two people who know something about it will retire soon.
5 days for IM to produce a command line script to change the format on a printer? I did it 10 minutes, when I needed to redo the printer to do mission essential tasks. Then I erased the scrips because that was an IM task. When the same situation happened again on my days off (Thu & Fri). Saturday I came back on duty and did it same thing again. On Monday I let IM work on their solution. They never did find one. The mission specific printer got repaired faster. They never thought of asking me how I did it. Probably because my boss told them I did not know what I was doing & I was full of useless information. I never seen that QUANTITY and quality of activity in any of the DoD operations I was involved with. I am gladly retired from that mess These always apper. Telecommuting? Its hard to jack things up when you are not physically present. These people always appear to be busy. At what? Who knows.
I'm one of those people that have the gout. Simply it's due to high a concentration of purines in the blood, along with a pH level that causes those purines to form crystals. Caffeine is a purine. The AMA & American trained dietitians say coffee is a no no for gout. The Canadian medical expert say it makes no difference and in some cases it helps. So I guess you stay away from Starbucks and go with Tim Horton's coffee.... So if they can't make up my mind I'll keep drinking it. That reminds me, I have to go to the drug store and get more bad drugs for HBP & gout.
It takes 32 quarters to wash a king size comforter in the large washer in the laundramat + 7 to dry in the large dryer. My fingers get so tired I can hardly fold it when it is done.
ORNL just put 18,000 Opterons to good use. http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-top-500-supercomputer-sites-2012nov12.aspx So even the US gov has has a stake in this. Maybe getting more bang for the buck is becoming more popular in the.gov purchasing? I know that intel has done classified development for the.govs, I am not sure about what AMD has done. General rule is that classified contractors are not allowed to die. That does not mean they can't merge and get smaller.
3 boards, 3 monitors, 8 cpus, 3 video cards, 3 sets of memory, 2 cases, 3 cpu coolers in 5 years all amd except for 1 nvidia card. The oldest system is for the spousal unit. In a 10 year old case. Had to change from the 16" CRT because it was getting to hard to see the gossip on facebook. replaced a dead 22" monitor with a 32" 1080 tv-monitor. She is satisfied with a 24" 720p TV-monitor. Hey just how much juice do you need for facebook & farmville? The retired amd board- nvidia GPU board is folding & not OCd. The latest has a 990fx-fx-8350- HD 7870 is mostly for games. So would that be 38% ?
I dont think most home users are replacing their computer systems unless the they are PC gamers. They are however picking up portables so they can face & farm on the go. I would say that servers & portables are where most of the sales activity is.
It has been quite some time since a new gen of game consoles has been announced. It appears that programming has not been able to keep up and has slowed demand for desktop power.
Unless a business is leasing desktops a 5-6 yr old does what the bosses need with software that was satisfactory 5 years ago. It does not matter that it takes 10 minutes for it to boot all the security apps. "Just get to work 10 minutes earlier so you can log in on time."
recipe for a cannon:
6 ft of 2" schedule 150 steel pipe.
1 schedule 150 end cap.
4-6 oz of FF black powder.
tomato paste can filled with concrete.
or sub 1/3 lb 20 penny nails for short range
4 inch square rag patch.
8 ft 1 to 1 1/2 inch wooden ramming rod.
TIG weld the end cap to one end of the pipe.
drill a 1/8" hole 1/2" away from the weld.
mount on a two wheel cart.
use 3/4 " countersink to relieve a touch hole to the1/8" hole.
The rest you will have to figure out for yourself.
Spec ops soldiers and marines as a group are generally polite. Why? Because using a pistol or rifle is an option and they make too much noise when converting a living human to a corpse.
Which of these 10 statements Applies to the FT Hood Massacry?
1.) Because they have seen "Full Metal Jacket"?
2.) You give the recruit 99.9 % of the rifle to sleep with. (They don't work very well without firing pin.)
3.) You cannot have a black powder rifle or pistol on a military installation.
4.) You are required to store your rifle and pistol in the armory.
5.) You need the CO's permission to check your privately owned weapon out of the armory.
6.) You will carry this permission chit with you & the weapon must returned within the times specified or the MP's will be searching for you.
7.) If you live off base these rules do not apply.
8.) Don't get caught on base with a weapon and no weapons card for it.
9.) You need the commanders permission to store your weapon on base.
10.) Private gun ownership + military base = no go at this station.
Just what Sweden based crime is he is charged with?.. How many men have had unprotected sex with permission from their female partner. How come it is not a crime for the female? If she did not want to do it, that is rape almost anywhere. So don't have sex in Sweden, wait till you get to Denmark.. It is considered rape. I am not clear if this also applies to married couples too. I wonder how much the recent condom sales have increased there. Do you have to keep the used condoms to prove you used one. What if you had sex once and she said twice? Also what to what frequency is this law applied to the general public?
Where I live all of the bowling alleys are open on Sunday with league play. Its is also against the law to bowl on Sunday. The last time it was used was to arrest someone the police were after and could not catch him doing anything else that was illegal.
I am a retired army Sergeant. Which postion do you suppose is easier Combat Infantry platoon leader or Admin or Finance platoon leader? My experience has taught me this female use for the sex card that gives the extra edge for promotion, or job assignments. They will play, you put did/did not assign me that job a. because I am a girl and dont want me to show I can do it. b. you should not have put me on that job because I am a girl. I have had that played both ways by the same female for the same assignment.
All males between 18 to 26 are still required to carry their draft cards. Exceptions: Military (they take your draft card and give you one of theirs), police and other US goverment employees.
Back in the bad old days, when we fought a war in asia and put a man on the moon and balanced the budget. ok why not, lets do 1969. example: In 1969 a brand new chevy impala had a sticker price of $3200. For that price you got the optional v8, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, radio, heater, white sidewall tires and AC. with $900 down you paid $120 per month for 3 years and 4 years later you sold it for $1000. The deal is that 55% of the cost to manufacture that car was labor. Now who do suppose paid more income tax? GM or collectively the workers who made the cars? BTW unlike the Teir 2 UAW worker on the the GM assembly line today, buying a new Chevy Impala every 3 years is a BIG strain on the wallet. The 1969 car payment was one weeks pay + the 60 left over dollars would fill up the grocery cart and feed a house of 4 for 1 week. Plus U could take the wife and kiddes to the Drive In and still have enought to fill up the 25 gallon tank. BTW these workers did not live in GM owned 6000 sq ft houses near the Milford proving grounds like some of the Senoir execs did. Drive their choice of new every year Bonneville. Buick 225, Buick Rivera, Coup Deville. Olds 98, or Chevy Caprice (slumming it) for a $25 mo leasing fee + 1 more luxury car for the old lady, and if the kids were older than 16, lease a Camaro for each of them and GM would pick up the bill for the insurance. Some how these execs managed to make ends meet on a mere $100,000 yearly salary. The assembly worker was making 3.70 per hr. and time and half for over time. If they were not working 58 hours a week or more they were laid off. In 1972 I paid out more dollars in income tax as assembly line worker, than President Nixon did as President. As for the stars we will go there when a group of billionaires figure out how trillions can be made for each of them for going there. Of course they wont wait very long for the pay off.
Do you think that after 37 years in the US Army, I didn't hear, 'You won't let me do it because I am a girl or female)" argument? Say OK, do it and then have have to listen to them complain about getting sand in their vagina!

Been looking for Bin ladIn's buddies for 3 days. Ran out of baby wipes. Only had 8 hrs of sleep since this op started. Body armor is chafing my neck. Don,t have any more bottled water and got drink the water in my canteen from the water buffalo. I say " Sergeant, Move your ass and get your squad over there."
The reply I get "What's the matter Sarge? Got sand in your vagina?"
BTW I have been in the OD, woodland and digital army
I joined the Navy in 1982,. As the Village People sang, in the Navy... Well I retired from the Army.
Ah yes 150 days at sea nothing but men, men, men you know that old SNL thing.
That is except for a rare and occasional viewing of a BMO.
When one my shipmates said "You do realize I am gay, don't you."
I then said "Does that mean you don't drink beer?"
I suppose now that it is OK to be gay in the military and females are on warships.
Crossing the line has to be different now because that would be too gay for any kind of female.
BTW you still have to 17.5 years old with your PARENTS PERMISSION to sign up for full active duty.
Do you need air bags to race at NASCAR, NHRA..... ehh nope, So I disconnect it.
Besides I wear glasses. Hmmm more likely 2 be injured by the air bag than the accident.
Want to loose a race, put ABS in the car and turn it on. Thats the second thing to get removed.
I keep my vehicles a long time and ABS get gets upredictable. MKVII LSC in the rain 220k miles on the odometer. Touched the brakes to disengage the cruise control. Was it 5 or 6 360s? no problem managed to recover before loss of all forward momentum. continuing in the right direction on I70.
That required the complete removal of the hydro boost system and replaced with brake system from a Mustang R
I am quite sure that stabilitrak is going to be another problem. All of these devices are substitutes for driving skill and proper use of the saftey devices between your ears. 2 accidents 2000k+ miles. Both were because of my not paying attention to details.
