Yes, they taught you well.

Split from this thread.

What the fuck were you expecting with a BA in film studies?

Final semester in computer engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The main problem with using radar to shoot down aircrafts would be tracking. Uriel was more or less stationary when he was burned by the radar, and even his highest speeds are not that impressive - around 180 mph (if he is similar to the messenger demons at the start of Armageddon). An aircraft wil...

Stuart derived those spot sizes from non-AEGIS radar systems (which, I presume, have nonclassified capabilities). Perhaps he could provide a reference that describes the parameters of such a system. I'd love to see such a reference myself. It sounds completely preposterous to have a beamwidth small...

Are we actually supposed to take seriously the sub-microradian radar beamwidth he claimed earlier?

It's completely retarded. Just think about the vast quantity of calories required to feed a slave for decades. Livestock has a much better return on investment.

Knowing the way sonar technology has evolved since the 1960s; basically using computer signals processing to eliminate frequency spread, sidebands and harmonics to concentrate the available power into the narrowest, cleanest pulse possible. This is incorrect. Compressing a pulse in time increases t...

Judging by some youtube videos, it's so hardcore that cold starting a Mi-24 and taking off takes an astonishing 30 seconds. The Ka-52 (and no doubt every other aircraft) is a fucking joke, too.

Using Cyrillic in place of Latin is bad enough, but but this is the first time I've seen anybody reach the low of using a backwards character.

Here's a criticism for you: do you intend to fix that dumbshit logo of yours?

Here is the higher-quality original.

The ships would have to have a device that can quickly locate the end of the fiber-optic cable, and drag it up to the surface. The closer the ships stay to shore, the easier the job is. It is rumored that NASA spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing such a device. Apparently,they called it...

Quick, to the execution bus!

I'm looking forward to the season. I was perpetually laughing as it got more and more ridiculous by the second.

This is a bizarre and not very effective proof. All it proves is that one specific company offers more different journals, and given that Springer apparently has a full program specializing in Russian journals, this may be one of their trademarks. It says absolutely nothing about the status of the ...

I find myself doubting this and would like to see some kind of evidence for the assertion, given the high level of activity in German academia and research... but in any case it's my understanding that German technical jargon is effectively a second language anyway I did a search on http://www.spri...

You know what a "beta" is, right? Just trying to clarify that here because you seem pretty stupid. Did you have anything of value to add or are you just spewing shit for fun, or something? Stark catches a lot of flak for slamming just about everything under the sun but his criticisms are ...

I was in the closed beta since several months ago. The game was so terrible that I haven't played in two months. The only activity that was remotely enjoyable was hacking the game. Those morons designed it so poorly that I was flying and teleporting in just a couple of days after beginning the effort.

In a hundred years, they'll probably look upon Reaganism the same way they look at Leninism today, as a failed experiment that dominated a nation for generations. I don't think that this is a fair comparison. The consequences of Leninism in the Soviet Union included a huge increase in the standard ...

It's easier with a small helicopter, but the trick for that mission was to fly in low and kill the SAMs before they even had a chance to launch.

Edit: Finally completed that mission. The key, apparently, is to take the bridge farthest away that is also guarded by an Abrams. It's not actually guarded, lol. If you steal a Chinese APC, you can quickly drive in and mow down Allied troops before they have a chance to enter the tank. Then, you ca...

Beyond English, German is the most-spoken language in Europe, and is thus useful for business. This is incorrect. Russian has more speakers in Europe. while russian's phonology is tortured by its use of palatalisation (the soft sign that looks similar to b causes sounds to go awry. Palatalization r...

The problem I'm having is with the first real Chinese mission. I have to rescue a guy from the top of a tower, but before I can take out all the SAMs either the allies accidentally blow the whole place up trying to kill me or he'll just randomly fall off the building. True story. That mission was s...
