Comment Re:The mobile tech formerly known as 4G (Score 2) 45

It basically means you get broadband speeds 14mbps, pretty simple I just a lot of people here are over analyzing it and all parroting the same message. Basically you don't want to have a dozen different names for a certain set of speed.

If you name your service a dozen different names, it does no one any good. Maybe Super-4G will probably be 20mbps but I think they are all in the general range there.

Get over it....

Send in the drones, no joke.

By 2020 or something like that 2/3 of all military vehicles will be autonomously driven, have fun blowing up empty vehicles though.

The reality is that drones and terminator bots will be developed at some point and deployed by the thousands. Have a bot sitting on some remote mountain top in Afghanistan in a freezing storm ready to confront anybody in the area.

Also you were good up until Version 4.0, but the jammers you talk about are called the 'Buffalo' system and you should look up the technology in it.
So please stop making up myth's about the 'Cryptological' signals because the Buffalo has shown time and again it disables that.

Ver. 5.0 - Lol you mean 'Shaped Charges' is what you are trying to say and they have been around a long time as per Army manual training. Just took the illiterate idiots awhile to understand the tech, good luck using that against an empty vehicle with a drone.
But I am sure they will resort to tactics of killing their own civilians or blowing themselves up, quick apply some version number to that or just turn a blind eye and be vocally quiet over it as usual.

Ver. 6.0 - now you are just making up shit, 'steel and iron' oh ok yeah so now the terrorist can discriminate between friendly heavy metal vehicle and light one. LOL ok whatever you wanna make up, nevermind the 18 wheelers/buses/kaboos driving over them all day.
Does ver. 6.0 work like in Afghanistan where the Taliban blew up that bus loaded with people, lol who are you kidding buddy with this silly version crap. It's just Guerilla warfare and hiding with the civilians

Version 4.0 and above have been defeated by the BUFFALO because they make signals obsolete, as in there is no cellular or other radio service around when the US patrol comes driving through. Funny sometimes the locals would talk about how they knew the Americans were coming into the area when their cellphones would cut off.
What good is encryption when you cannot even send the signal, I don't expect an answer but it is fun to make up stuff. Also version 1.0 with the wire is and always has been the favorite method as described by EOD teams.

Say you got a version number for people who suffer from isolation and are only taught religious hatred to the point they are willing to blow themselves up.

DARPA - LIVE IT, LEARN IT AND LOVE IT
You can laugh at the scientist and engineers behind the stuff they develop, but one day these things will be flying into the windows of buildings and driving trucks with nobody inside across mountain ranges.

Or maybe it could be the the worse case scenario

An older generation who has all this younger youth generation under its authority and gun, they will just become cannon fodder and sent to he front lines when war breaks out. They want to go out on a bang and be remembered, revolutions no longer exist since the machine gun came out.

Front of the line : Students and the educated
Back of the line : Elders and clerics watching

You gotta remember these are the same people who used their population to clear mine fields during the Iraq/Iran war

Comment Re:Bomb Sniffing Dogs (Score 1) 354

That's the German Shepard breed I believe where the trainer has to induce or lead them toward the direction.
I saw the NatGeo special on 'Dogs' the other day and a new breed coming out of Russia is trained to go on its own and take the initiative. The Russians have been mixing dog genetics for quite some time now and have some interesting breeds.

Machines can run 24/7, minimal false detection and very quick. They'll probably pay themselves off in a decade or so compared to the investment needed for a dog

Dogs can only alert you to a possibility of one of the hundreds of chemical signatures its trained to, you have to clear the area to search the object and all the other crap that come from animals. Plus I think they can only do like 30 minutes at a time before they have to have like a 4 hour rest, the restoration rate is just too slow and would bankrupt airports across the country.
Not only that but the trainers cost more money to employ and train, compared to some TSA officer who could cycle through many more people than a dog can.

What the hell are you jibbing about and what does that have to do with the UAV?

As far as I know we haven't outsourced our UAV development, so back to the topic of the article about UAV's and lets try to compare what they have copied.

One of them looks like a Tomahawk cruise missile, another lone looks totally impractical with the giant flapping wings and some other artist drawings of things like sea based ones.

Lame... no offense but there are at least a half dozen guys here in America who actually have rockets(hydrogen peroxide) and can take off from ground to landing. As in flying across Hollywood boulevard and landing on a building across there.

Blank CD's are cheap and have been forever and so are DVD-R's.
9.99 for a 50 pack of DVD-R's at the Fry's,

  so you must be paying like what .25x10,009.99= $2,502.50.

What were they made in America? ooooooohhhhh

Besides get over it, at least in your country you are not being sued for it and getting the ok by the authorities for small chickenshit trading of the music/movies.
You might want to direct your anger to all the music/movie downloaders in your country who brought on the demand for American entertainment and forced the countries hands.

I feel for those caught up in the middle of it but please, just search around before you buy blank cd/dvd's.

Not only that but I think you have to put in reservations for a spot to the crown on the Statue of Liberty many months ahead.

I was there a couple days after they reopened it around 4th of July and asked the park ranger about it, he laughed and said the waiting period is many months(8+) and growing. So you have to put in for a spot to get up there, but there is another lower platform spot below her that is accessable and I think that is the one they only give 240 tickets per day.

Mehhh thats what its like at any national park or famous monument from having to get a spot for Half Dome 8 months ahead to the Washington Monument having to get on the waiting list; the only thing that irks me is that foreigners get just as equal access as Americans.
I think Americans should get first pickings at spots and than foreign tourist can go second, that was the one thing that pissed me off when I got there with my family is the huge Chinese tour groups who have representatives who buy up all the reserved spots.

lowballers.... "I hate these guys"

My company put in on this project and the next lowest bid was $1 Million dollars under ours for the asphalt and concrete work. My bosses head was spinning with anger and we wanted to contest it, but there were too many people that low also you had to just laugh at any of these people making one bit of profit. Stupid asses underbid their project and material costs, not to add to it the firm who did the project management for them. I wonder who it was... Barnhart... McCoy....

Not to include they found a huge methane reserve under the site halfway through building it. HEY MORONS THATS WHAT ENVIRONMENTAL TESTERS ARE FOR BEFORE YOU EXCAVATE!!!!! DRILL DRILL DRILL!! TEST TEST TEST!!!

Fucking amateurs!! I hope they all get suspended from any LAUSD project or anything for the city of that matter to all those construction firms who bid super low. Better yet I hope they all went bankrupt and close shop.

But the material costs and oil prices kind of made us glad we didn't bid on it, about 23 days worth of work I estimated and when we revised the estimates for the material costs to this date we would have only made a couple thousand. *sweating* because you don't want to be on the line when the project starts going over in the red.
Techs thought they had tough bosses, come over to the construction industry you would be crying in no time sucking back 3 packs a day and lots of energy drinks.02
