Touche! I accept your corrections!
A number of the Australian -18Fs have even been wired for the Growler kit, but they don't have it yet.

I'd mark you funny, but only the E, F, & G* versions of the F/A-18 are the Super Hornets. the A-D version are just the Hornet.
*The EF-18G is the Electronic Warfare version of the Super Hornet, but it can carry anti-radiation missiles** so it can kill people.
** Missiles that target radiating sources such as Radars.
It's convertible to a STOVL carrier, so it could operate things like Harriers and F-35Bs, which are marginally less capable than the STOBAR (Short Take Off, BArrier Recovery) ship the PLAN has and dramatically less than the conventional CATOBAR (CAtapult Take Off, BArrier Recovery) ships the USN, Marine Nationale, and the Brazilian Navy has.
Without proper sanitation, it's a known pathway for pathogens - you see it every so often in leafy greens from California (and other places) when feces end up in the fields.
Does it have a WordPerfect-like Reveal Codes feature?
No?
No dice.
The first one I owned at 256megs, but the first one I used on a regular basis has 640k - and I use 4 gigs today on my desk.
And I am it. There has never been, nor is there likely to ever be another with my name - the given name is very common, but the surname is rare enough.
The solution on the Chromebook end is to install Linux - and as of now they still have a switch on the laptop (under the battery in my Cr-48) that turns off verified boot, allowing users to install any OS they want (that will run on the hardware - Win7, Chrubuntu, and OSX have been shown working in the wild).
I'm moving to protopage, which seems to be working so far.
Our military expenditures aren't just huge, they are to the point of being borderline insane. We have enough nukes to kill every human on earth 100 times over, there's no possibility of any country invading us for at least the next several hundred years
I'm all for gutting the Army and the marines but the US, as a trading nation, needs to keeps the sea lanes of communication open. That means a large navy, which we are getting away from. And the US does not have the nuclear arsenal to kill everyone on Earth a hundred times over unless everyone stood in nice neat groups, which they don't.
Duck and Cover might have prevented a lot of the injuries.
But we can't have that, because it can be made to look silly by the people opposed to real Civil Defense.
Primary is FHD, secondary is SXGA. When combined with the existence of the windows task bar, it's about the same as a 3200*1024 screen. I'd love to move to something with higher vertical resolution, but it's not in the cards (credit or video) at the moment.
Great. Now for homework try your Google-fu to see all the alternatives to the LabVIEW approach. I've used both, and LabVIEW is far inferior to what can be done with a Linux system.
Go ahead and try to name an actual application that "is supported on Windows but has less support, or lower performance, or doesn't work at all, on the other operating systems ", then I'll tell you the better alternative in the Open Source domain. ( I do agree that if you are in the desktop publishing business GIMP may not be a suitable substitute for Photoshop, though for 99% of people who need to do graphics design and editing GIMP indeed serves as a fine replacement.)
I'm waiting for you to provide 'the better alternative' like you said you would.
I've mentioned this before, but when you have entire ecosystems built on Windows/Office it can be exceptionally difficult to migrate to open source. You have to make sure everything works or you will have people who will block the migration.
If you want another program, then SolidWorks.
LabVIEW.
Yes, there are linux and OSX versions, but they do not support the full toolkit, drivers, and modules set that the windows version supports.
I know it's a rather specialized piece of software, but it does exist (and I do use it).
