Used in an artillery Fire Direction Center. If I remember correctly, the firing data is checked to ensure the round will land within an safe impact zone. After checking the date, someone in the FDC announces “safe...send it.” The data then goes to the guns. I may have some of the details wrong...

You want to pull towards the muzzle, so either option works if you are careful (and if I’m understanding you correctly). When I used a rod, I did option 1, attach the patch then pull. I’ve moved away from rods and now use a cable system. +1 on a bore snake. I love them, easy and less likely to...

Check the year. I don't think it expires until 2019.

I love CloudAhoy. I wish my CFI-I had used it as part of my training.

Hidden networks offer no security. The traffic between your network and client devices is easily detected and would allow a potential attacker to identify your network. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Perhaps, but it still felt good breaking their 306-game scoring streak with a shutout. Go Army! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

There is a good chance that your residential routers won't need a patch. Of the 10 CVEs related to this vulnerability, only 1 (related to Fast Transition) requires patching on the network side, though some could benefit from patching on both sides. Fast Transition is more commonly found in...

As you would expect, initial coverage is somewhat sensationalized. The truth is that while the issue is widespread the fixes are very straightforward, which even the researcher acknowledges. Major platform vendors have already deployed patches. Microsoft, for example, has acknowledged that they...

Of course not, but other operators who do participate in the program now have a point of differentiation. If consumers perceive these operators as being higher quality, then it will exert pressure on others to take part. It's a way for industry to influence quality without letting them block...

There were some hurt feelings a couple years ago when the army used the term chink in the context of weaknesses in armor. I can just imagine what was going through the spokesperson's head as they explained the term went back 600 years...

Ha ha. Ok, I never said it was good, just posting the reference. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

80's movie called Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo.

This is a big part of the problem. I got my private at 29 and just hit 40. At this point in my life, the type of flying I'm interested in is not compatible with rental policies (e.g. cost prohibitive for overnights) and purchasing isn't an option. It isn't that I can't purchase; the problem is...

Because hiding an SSID adds essentially zero protection and can cause other connectivity issues/concerns. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Yep, Kittie Hill. You can still see remnants of the runways on Google maps. I landed there when I was getting my PPL at KGTU.
