Goalkeeper uses a US gun, the General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger. It's famously used in the A-10 as well.

The only carriers ever fitted with Goalkeeper were HMS Invincible and HMS Illustrious, both of which are long gone. The USN carriers use Phalanx, which is a US made system.

ROKS Dokdo and ROKS Marado use Goalkeeper, but they're classed as amphibious assault ships*, not carriers.

*LPH for you naval types.

He clearly advanced, now he's gone back to it for (specified) reasons.

Then there's this:

spywhere: You failed reading comprehension.
geek: No, but you certainly did.

Did you not notice (or comprehend maybe) that you're responding to the same guy?

I don't know the True Name of Candy Crush but Powershell does. The wildcards should handle it for you. Try this:
Get-AppxPackage *candy* | Remove-AppxPackage

The safer option is to get the name first, then use that to uninstall:
Get-AppxPackage -Name *candy*

Or this gives you the full list of internal names, some translation required:
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName

Note that Groove shows up as Zune, there will be others with odd names.

Some Vaio laptops have an option to only charge to 80%. I set in on mine and the battery is still trucking after many years.
Of course Sony Mobile is the old Sony Ericsson, a completely different business unit. They probably don't know about it and the patents, if any, may have been sold with the laptop division.

Comment Re:Peak Aeroplane (Score 1) 290

The three V bombers were designed for high altitude operations. They were switched to low altitudes due to the threat of SAMs. The air down there is denser and wears aircraft out faster.

The Vickers Valiant wore out first, with it's long flexible wings.

The Avro Vulcan has delta wings which are less flexible and allowed it to operate at low level for far longer.

The Handley Page Victor lasted longest because it was converted to reconnaisance and tanking and stayed in thinner air. It's enormous bomb bay made it suitable for this job.

The B52 was never switched to low level operations so comparing the fatigue life of its airframe to the V bombers isn't really fair.
