    Need some help...looking for a Laptop

    C-142XL, a small laptop from Gateway.  Note the CPU, vid card, and RAM specs.  Good reviews as a gaming unit. You can ask for XP.  A little outside of your price range, but useful as a comparasion. http://www.gateway.com/systems/series/529597319.php

    The Electric Car Thread- Merged

    I don't think Genepax has released their engine, system design, or overall specifications publically.  We just see a car driving around and doesn't take gas from all reports.  If true, no matter the method, it is interesting and so may be the engineering.  The specs would show it must adhere to...

    Carbon Tax?

    I quite agree.  The difficulties of peak oil, supply and demand, and resource competition are here.  We've known about these issues for decades however.  The carbon tax appears to be a ambiguous reaction rather than real action to confront the issue of energy transition.   Its hard to fault...

    The Electric Car Thread- Merged

    More info http://www.techamok.com/?pid=4689 http://www.techamok.com/?pid=4678 Is this the debate, "1 unit of energy put into the system exactly 1 unit comes out"?  Perhaps the concept doesn't violate the laws of thermodynamics.  The issue of speculative relevance may be the car isn't consuming...

    AIRPORT SECURITY IN 1A'S

    I was in the same situation in 2004; the belt, the ankle boots, and tunic all had to come off.  The ankle boots have a metal support shank embedded in the outer sole.

    A scary strategic problem - no oil

    I remember decades ago a geography teacher of mine discussing oil as a finite resource.  Easy to get to oil would be gone by 2030-ish so he said.  In the early 1990s, I read something by Gwynne Dyer speculating the impact of if and when each Chinese or East Indian family are able to buy a...

    ATIS Trade needs a School and Strong Leadership

    Splitting the ATIS trade make some sense from one perspective as airfield, IT, rad, and tel functions seem distinct streams.  From another perspective, skill sets amoungst those functions are fairly similar.  A cable plant links radars, radios, phones, and computers.  A tech of each function...

    Cell phone videos - paparatzzi culture?

    I was scanning the daily news and came across this seemingly mundane article about a NS Minister [Fage] leaving the scene of an accident.  Minister Fage apparently stuck Mr. Gamble's car. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/ns_politician_crash Nothing really appeared interesting about the...

    Aging Air Force

    Seems funny on the surface.  I can't speak for most trades in the AF, but one might notice theres many members with 16+ years in and lots with 5 years or less.  Not alot in between. I suppose thanks to the FRP of the 90s.  I figure the stats will change significantly in the next few years with...

    60 Failures out of 129 candidates failed PT test

    Theres alot of information in various media about life in the Forces, basic training, and whats expected of recruits.  More accessible information than there ever was.  The fitness self-test is right in the application package and provides a decent assessment if used you would think. Not to...

    Reactionless Drive?

    Cool stuff.  Heres a link with a layman perspective (more understandable while consuming a beer): http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2006/09/08/1874074.htm -Radar techs will never die. We'll just get more insane things to fix.

    I had a few interesting PM conversations with him.  The guy spoke his mind, honest and direct.  RIP.  My condolences to his family, his unit, and his friends.

    The worlds fattest professional military
