US Air Force to replace flight manuals with tablet computers->

Submitted by Frosty Piss
Frosty Piss writes "The USAF is considering buying up 18,000 iPad tablet computers as electronic flight bags for its air crews. In a notice posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command office says it is specifically interested in purchasing the iPad 2, but will also consider other brand-name tablet devices. The tablets will be used as electronic flight bags for flight crew members and trainers, replacing manuals and navigation charts currently used by US Air Force aviators that can weigh as much as 40 pounds."

There is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING wrong adding the gull-wing doors as strictly a style component.

...coupled with a seriously massive base price just makes this even more of a non-solution.

It's a "luxury" vehicle. If you are looking specifically for a no-frills utility vehicle, this is not for you. For people looking for a bleeding edge stylish luxury SUV, this is certainly a possible solution.

As far as I'm concerned, if I can take it to the grocery store and buy coke & chips, it's "real". That would include the proper green paper, various sizes of coins, and plastic cards with magnetic strips. And exclude Bitcoins, Linden bucks, and whatever this "Poke" stuff uses for money.

So what *YOU* use for money is money, but what *OTHER PEOPLE* use for money is not?

YOU can not take Korean Won or whatever they use in Kurdistan for money to the local 7/11. Does that mean it isn't money?

These morons trade pooka shells for fluffy goat sex options, thus pooka shells are demonstrably MONEY.

You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.
