PS- if I were moderating I'd mod you down for using a URL shortener. This isn't twitter and short URLs are a good way to disguise goatse or worse. Get a clue, son.
They had U2s at Utapao when I was stationed there in 1974, and those things wouldn't need a catapult. Those crazy long wings make it so it doesn't need much room to take off, huge amounts of lift. As to landing, almost any plane landing on a carrier will need a tailhook.
An SR71, now, I doubt they could launch from a boat. Not much wing but fantastically humungous engines. Their runways were about a mile long, they'd thunder down the runway with the ground shaking a mile away, do a wheelie, and take off straight up looking like a bottle rocket, the thing was gone in seconds.
Those were at a base I nicknamed "Armageddon AFB" because its only purpose was to deploy if the Soviets attacked, there were hundreds of B-52s loaded with nuclear weapons waiting to take off. Google shows it almost empty now. As it's in the middle of nowhere it could possibly be the new "Area 51" (which is why I'll not name it, I don't want to make the deficit bigger by them moving to a new one). Everyone at that base had to have a top secret clearance when I was stationed there.
All people would hear though was that I thought they were bad at there jobs, the only reason they could see that I could be talking about improving how they do things.
Well, maybe you should have said something in person rather than using email, because you come across as very uneducated. I mean uneducated as in "dropped out of the ninth grade." Nobody is going to take you seriously if you don't know the difference between there and their, which you should have learned by the third grade.
In fact, that made me doubt you're even in IT and suspect you're still in middle school.
I figured that guy (who I wish you all would stop quoting, those -1 moderations are there for a reason) was a Starbucks drinker. People who pay as much for a cup of coffee as I pay for a pound of grounds have too many dollars and not enough sense,
Loved your pun, BTW. "Incite" fits him so well. Still chuckling.
And of course, the spelling and grammar nazi has made an error in his post!
First, it wasn't a grammar or spelling error, it was a typo, and the kind of typo a spell checker won't catch. Second, he's not applying for a job, he's educating you aliterate kids. Someone who's not stupid will take a lot more care with a job application or resume than a slashdot comment.
Don't worry, his karma's so deep in the hole no amount of karma-whoring will get him out, and I don't think he's capable of effectively whoring, anyway.
The difference between him and Ethanol-Fueled is roman_mir is serious. The man has a few screws loose.
I agree that texting while driving is criminally stupid, but why shouldn't the passengers be allowed to text? I'm responsible and don't even answer the phone while driving, why should I have to pay for the equipment to stop me from doing something I'm not going to do anyway? You're for DUI interlocks on all cars on the road? Save the "anti-text" gear for those who've been ticketed a few times, or have caused a crash while texting.
Any company that does any kind of "construction" ignore all the safety rules they can.
My dad was an electrical lineman for 40 years, 15 or more of that constructing and stringing the high voltage towers, and I can tell you that those guys DO follow all the safety rules (I've seen them working). Of course, the IBEW is a pretty strong union. Maybe your construction friends should unionize?

you need to put this sense of entitlement you seem to have in check.
Like my sense of entitlement that I can say any damned thing I want, that I'm entitled to be free of unwarranted searches, that I'm entitled to own a gun. I am entitled, and that entitlement is by force of law backed by the Constitution.
You're sitting at -1 because your attitude is willfully stupid.

We can only hope. We can also hope that Picardo plays the Doctor instead of Johnnycab Who.
Seriously, though, *fingers crossed* I hope CBS picks it up.
You misspelled Illinois. The picture at that link is the last guy to run our power plant. Maybe he's taking over Microsoft?
This guy was our last mayor (he's dead, shot himself). Recognize those two guys?
Guess you didn't see my sig,
Sigs don't show up unless you're logged in, so no, he didn't see it.

Uh, Woosh? I thought it was funny, and so did a moderator.

Accident or not, I was satisfied.
It doesn't go into details, but if the carbon is left as a solid waste byproduct, it wouldn't go into the atmosphere.
I'm pretty sure he sold all his screws to raise money for his religious movement. If you're not careful he'll remove yours to sell as well.
I see you haven't read my journals, I can handle crazy people. Especially on the internet, I've had lots of practice.
The takedown provisions would be fine, if false takedowns were dealt with harshly. As to the rest of the DMCA, I couldn't agree more with you.
Because some was claiming credit for what I'd done.
Oops, apologies to the moderators, that -1 was not moderated.
Yes, that was me, so you can mod this comment down, too. The GP's comment I quoted above was ignorant and offensive.

In the electrical industry those guys are not only fired, but fired with the union's blessing.

So do we have your support in making a law that counter balances the highly abusable DMCA?
If you'd read the comment you would see that I think false takedowns should dealt with harshly by the law.
The facts are indeed not copyrighted, the way those facts are explained is. Anyone was free to present the information I provided in their own words.
How is that so hard to understand?

Well, if you get permission and credit them it's hardly plagiarism, is it? I did the same thing.
But the law did offer protection, the offending material was taken down. It did, in fact, protect the work of a hobbyist.
