The F-14 WAS a Navy jet, it was decommissioned in 2006. The F-18 Hornet is IIRC the only Navy-centered jet the US has ATM.

Now, before you go all "the Harrier is a Marine Corps aircraft" on me, the Harrier is deployed on U.S. Navy commanded assets like the Bonney Dick, and the Corps is part of the DON.
My Linux installation is case-insensitive, if you use JFS you can enable "OS/2 compatibility" with the -O option to jfs_mkfs, which will make it case insensitive. Then you can enable case insensitive matching in bash etc by editing your ~/.inputrc.
That is exactly the type of advice you get when you ask for Linux help, and it soooooo clarifies things for Joe User.
Yeah, it has got to suck really bad when you are looking at life in prison for stealing stuff that could have been developed from information gathered on the old internet.
Yeah, many great statements have always followed that opening.
Consider that GPS, when functional, is used to seed initial starting positions, but inertial nav packs are used to provide guidance. Other back up systems include other inertial nav packs, stationary fixes, and celestial navigation.
Consider that the GPS system can be knocked out. But, it's pretty damned hard to change the known locations of fixed locations, its damn near impossible to block good old centuries proved navigation by heavenly objects (unless the Chinese have an unknown deal with Klingons and Vogons) and with modern time keeping and the ability to shoot the stars with computer, it is surprising accurate.
Had you involved yourself at all with your country's military, beyond letting the press inform you, you'd have never made this mistake.
But, you can go on with your, "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
Yes, a group of Neo-nazi nuns with a thing for Picasso. One loves wearing a Lyndon B. Johnson mask. It's kind of weird, but hey, when you've got a few spare hours on a Friday full of reruns, what the hell. See what the writer's strike is forcing me into?
...alcohol, marijuana, and the joys and frustrations of the opposite sex?
First two: That's High School.
Last one: If you having that much trouble with the opposite sex, have you ever given thought that either sex, or the opposite sex is not your thing?
Maybe you should have used your University days less in experimentation with booze and drugs, and more in sexual alternative? Come on, admit it, you were a little hotted up when Spock laid a big ol' man hug on Kirk when he realized he wasn't dead.
I am an English major with special emphasis on rhetoric and composition...
Congratulations, now, stop standing there and get me that fork I asked for, and yes, I want the fries and coleslaw. Your tip is riding on how fast you get me that fork.
I encode all my dangerous stuff with everyday words and string them into mundane sentances disguised as personal communication.
There, everything you need to construct your own death star is in the line above. Oh, and some extra information is hidden in this line about exhaust ports. Damn, I just realized, my encoding for "exhaust ports" renders as "exhaust ports". Well, back to the drawing board.
I think there needs to be a distinction between learning concepts and the tools you use to learn them.
University is not where you go to learn a specific set of skills. If you want that, you go to a technical trade school.
University is where you go to get an in-depth set of concepts, critical thinking skills, research skills, and theory foundations. This is true for any major you wish to approach. In the CS department, there is a reason you take different languages, some are for system development, some are for app development, some are for theory exploration with little to no value outside of the educational environment. Java falls into one of those categories. Assembly, C, C++ fall into others. Ada falls into yet another.
Think of it in the terms of the English major, you know, those dime-a-dozen students who will end up working at Burger King and Mr. Chows Empire Chinese Buffet, or they go to Hollywood to work as waitresses while they wait for their big break. The English major takes a load of literature, English, American, Russian, Manga, and poetry from Bacon/Shakespeare to Ginsberg to Hughes to Tupac, and writing from haiku to freestyle with a goofy footed pentameter (trademark and patent pending). None of this is particularly helpful to someone who wants to come out of school with business writing skills.
Remember, in University, some of the most mistaken ideas come from the professors.
All that happened AFTER the product was significantly ignored through at least 2 product upgrades. The boys in Orem made their money off the product through 4.2 and just decided to let it die. By the time it hit 5.0 and 5.1 (remember "for Windows"?), Word was already taking off, and other competitors had entered the market: Sprint anyone? And other brands died because of their lack of response to market: Wordstar anyone?
Uh, sparky, the assumption that Corel has anything of value to market and sell is a bit of a stretch. They have so mismanaged the brand that it is almost criminal what they did to their office products.
I was a big time WordPerfect user. I tried to stick around through their sale to Novell and lack of effort from them. Later, sold to Corel, the company sat on it and did nothing allowing Microsoft Word to over take it and take over Office Suite dominance. This is what turned MS into the big monster it is now.
Corel should be apologizing to the world.
They took a great product and took a dump on it. This would be like DC turning the Superman franchise over to Alexander Salkind...oh, wait, they did.
So, if it's not used like "Open Source", then it's a hijacking of the term?
Microsoft's use of the word 'Open' for something that is not 'open source', even though they weren't refering to 'open source' is against the intent of the word 'open' and the Prophet Richard M. Stallman, hallowed by His name, peace be unto his greasey smelly armpits, has declared any use of the word 'open' must refer to 'open source' (making the word 'source' redundant) and therefor must also come under GPL 3, a.k.a. the Holy Words of the Prophet, may God smite the toes of the unbelievers.
RMS, the Lord is with the mites that inhabit his beard, is pursuing:
Any retailer who puts the sign 'Open' in their front window.
Any product that includes instructions about how 'open' said product.
Hunters and licensing agencies for 'Open' season.
Corporations who have benefit 'open' enrollement.
Remember, if Microsoft uses the word 'Open', we must automatically, and by the word of the Prophet, a thousand blessings on his klingons, assume they are refering to 'open source' and their own twisted interpretation.
We must also make a point to find some way to daily point out how everything Microsoft and Bill Gates does is evil, and post it to/.
ine, wait 6 months, a year, they will reinvent some portion of it which will require you to learn
it all over again, and revisit all your previous code if you hope to keep it supported.
Maybe, since it is still very young, however, you should note that I have projects that started life in.Net 1.0 framework, moved to 1.1 without any changes, moved to 2.0 without changes, and are now in 3.5, with only a few changes for depracated methods.
Those projects that have major changes have the changes because they were being updated anyway and I chose to use newer methods in the newer frameworks, like introducing ASP.NET projects with WF or AJAX.
Basically, if I write a Silverlight project of the variety of deploy and forget and never update it, I'm reasonably certain that it will work until its scheduled life is through. If I write a Silverlight project that has scheduled updates, I'm reasonably certain the framework will support it until its time for me to make my scheduled revisit to the code.
Elections are recurring events. The "Paulistinians," as you call them, are networking together, and the end of the 2008 election won't see the end of that network. Forty years ago, you'd have been a Johnson supporter, gloating how Goldwater was going down in flames.
Yeah, I remember President Goldwater. I think his most crowning achievement was when he met with the Chinese and...wait...oh.
Where your comment breaks down is that I am refering specifically to the Cult of Paul. Not to the message or movements that may be similar to his. Ron Paul has a cult following. His campaign will go nowhere. Will wreck the Republican numbers (unless we nominate Hillary). Now, his message may take hold, and hopefully, a non-racist will be the next champion of that message, but he will tank and have no more political effect than Perot or Mr. Unsafe-At-Any-Speed.
Ron Paul, noted legislator, Presidential candidate, anti-semite, and racist, claims that his supporters are mainly made up of people who own cell phones and not landline phones explaining why he doesn't do well in polls, and who express their activity online instead of in-person at the caucus.
Online flash in the pan.
The good thing about Ron Paul and his neo-Nazi supporters is that his inevitable independant campaign will draw votes away from the Republican candidate, handing the Democrat candidate an easy victory, unless the highly polarizing Clinton is the nominee, then all bets are off.
So, this years online fund raising goes to the Paulistinians, but thats all he's got.
Sure, Microsoft offers them on their site. And, there are a few available online. You being an old hand at this, you should know exactly where to find them, the search terms and all, and you surely already know that you don't have to go with the "$600" option, unless you've been ignoring Microsoft for the last 4 years.
What confuses me is that the OLPC association is ADAMANT about not offering their product commercially. This makes no sense.
The great thing about capitalism is that it allows us to run commercial for-profit businesses that provide capital that can in turn be used for non-profit purposes. By selling OLPC commercially and for profit, money could be raised to send them to communities that need them. However, I think the test for "need" should include that food, housing, health, and infrastructure needs are met (again, with money from other capitalist sources).
The buzz in the hallways was all about how efficiently Microsoft had completed its execution of Adobe.
So, yes, people will mind that you douchebags are really just up to your old tricks, not trying to deliver a useful product.
So, when others offer an alternative to a program or platform, its o.k., but when Microsoft does it it, its bad?
Intellectual consistancy sure gets battered around with you folks.
How about...capitalism...companies compete, those with superior products, at decent prices, meeting customer demand slugging it out. In this case, "superior" means offers the general customer base what they want, not some esoteric bullshit fanboy jackoff features.
MS prevailed in most of their winning products because the competition failed to respond. WordPerfect was the best by far, but it was sold off, mismanaged and allowed MS to take over the Office product line. That single act of greed in Orem, then incompetance by Novell and Corell is what handed MS their biggest victory and perhaps the single largest source of momentum that still propels them to this day.
You want to piss all over Microsoft, you need to blame all those companies that had it all over them, and then failed to make the next step. If Google falls to MS in the future it will be because of idiotic acquistions, product launches, or some such on Google's part.
The nice thing about Silverlight is that it is a breeze to program and work with.
I think, once the initial knee-jerk anti-MS crud is past, people won't mind. Just like any web/presentation technology, it has it's pros and cons. But look, to work with Silverlight, to create Silverlight, you don't need an expensive suite of tools.
Should Slashdot just redirect to digg and get it over with? How is this news?
Why was this one modded 'troll'? As soon as I got into this abortion of an article, I realized that the person who posted it to/. had had a serious lapse of judgement, almost as bad as the Seattle Fireworks article:

Seriously, Taco, you're letting the quality of/. slip below Digg. Are you purposely trying to kill the brand?
