Comment Re:Might cause a re-thinking of the F-35 (Score 1) 275

Let's not forget about IRST. Turns out no matter how stealthy you build a plane it still has to ignite hydrocarbons to stay in the air.

The question I have about long wave radar is: can they mount it in a jet or is it only ground/ship based? Can it be identified and destroyed by an AGM-88 HARM missile? Do we expect to send F-35 into any country or war zone that would have these radars deployed? The military isn't ever just one plane or ship, it's a series of interconnected systems designed to defeat different kinds of threats.

I work in IT in LTPAC (nursing and rehab). This is something we've discussed many times. The best model we've found is a TV with Skype (either PC or SmartTV) on a cart. Family schedules a time and staff (eg CNA) brings cart into the room and answers call. I'm in a higher acuity environment most likely (mostly SNF, some ALF) so this might not be ideal for your environment. We do have "Memory Care Units" at some locations. Generally it's a specific hall that has some additional accommodations (read: Wanderguard).

Reply to this post with contact info if you'd like to discuss in detail. I can talk to our reimbursement folks, but I believe this is billable via Medicare and Medicaid.

Actually Apple is the only company that makes a trackpad that isn't garbage. Nothing else is even close. And apple keyboards are great. And this is from a guy who uses a RealForce topre keyboard at home and a Cherry (Brand) with red switches at work. I type in the 120-130 wpm range and as far as laptop keyboards go, Apple makes a really great keyboard for a 13" laptop. The key travel and rebound is great, and the keys are pretty accepting off off center strikes.

Uh, it has multiple ethernet ports? I have a usb ethernet adapter that I bought, like an idiot apparently, because I've never used it. And it's a 2010 that still works perfectly. I keep hoping it will break because I want to buy a new one with a backlit keyboard but the damn thing just wont quit. It literally looks like the day I bought the damn thing. Just upgraded to mavericks and it runs like a champ.

Macbook display quality is about a thousand times better, and there's literally no comparison in the trackpads and keyboards either. What you have is a vastly inferior Macbook Air,, but at a great price. I'm sure for the money it's a great little laptop, but the Air is a far superior machine.
