Bleep bloop boop beep!
@taoeffect I don't get how any of that matters. "Who cares" is still a very apt response. So long as the military industrial complex gets the wars they want, the whys hardly matter. The budget is going to be spent.
You'd be better off working toward drastically reducing US military spending, say by 90%. Assuming you live there of course. Or any other way one person might reduce the death and suffering caused by that institution.

What's the deal with sites that have garbage css (like blue on brown) unless you enable scripts and 3rd party domains

Hum.. Avatars aren't working on here for some reason
Fiddling with GNU Radio, a HackRF and an RTL-SDR dongle trying to get some data transfer going. Not trivial
Anyone has a copy of 1989's #USENIX Conference Proceedings to lend?
I'm looking for pages 147-156, a paper from David G. #Korn and Eduardo Krell titled "The 3-D File System".
Despite the age, I cannot find a copy.
Please boost if you know someone who can share such article. I'd like to read it as I'm working on a new #filesystem #protocol for my #Plan9 derivative, #Jehanne, and I'd like to know relevant prior art.

@redsPL Wait a sec, you're the guy who wrote the libbieoffice script? Neat! It's kinda buggy though, and missing set -e for catching errors
better vid for THAT FEEL
I'm noticing some technological differences compared to 72 years ago. Whereas we're using transimpedance amplifiers, IR tachometers, ADCs and microcontrollers, these guys are all vacuum tubes and mechanical rectifiers
Seems precipitation static is a real issue in aviation. New thing learned!

Digging for citations in the field of electrostatics, as far back as 1946. Ran across a series of reports by one Ross Gunn, who was also involved in the Manhattan project ☢
