Iceweasel is Firefox, it's a matter only of rebranding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project The only issue I have with Iceweasel is that a few websites I've been to have complained my browser is not recognized. Ha. If it becomes an issue for you, just open whatever package manager you use and install Firefox. https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox By the way, the rest of the packages in the suite are nice also. - - - Updated - - - The thing I've found about VI, is that any Unix blend, or Linux blend, or Mac system, or any animal remotely like any of those previously mentioned that you run across out there - has VI on it. As a consultant, I always knew I could rely on that, it's always there. Pros and cons for both. The one thing I'll will acknowledge is that VI(M) is an editor outright, where EMACS is actually more a full-blown IDE.

Why vi of course! lol

I breezed over the ARM Cortex-M3 CPU datasheet last night (whitepaper), and also found the assembler instruction set tech ref manual ... also a resource defining instruction cycles of operands. I was quite surprised by what I found. http://www.arm.com/files/pdf/IntroToCortex-M3.pdf http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~valvano/EE345M/CortexM3InstructionSet.pdf You could decompile and view the C object file and see what methods of instruction the compiler is generating. Likely they'll suffice for your needs, but then again - maybe not.

Yea, that ^ I rarely 'watch' CNN as it is, only a few minutes of it to see what manner of opposing tripe they're spewing. They're right up there [or should I say down there] next to MSNBC. Might I add that around here, CNN is referred to as the "Communist News Network"... and long before that, the "Cornball News Network".

Great. Wonderful. Way to go.

Yea that ^ I can use either, and without complaining. Time? Which? Whose?

Nice! I've not been there yet. Shame on me.

There's an app for phone (and browser too I believe), that removes anything which has the word "Kardashian" in it. http://www.kardblock.com/ I'd like to see an app where I can specify what I want filtered out... I've got a list.

"Source: American"? And Russia, who hold just as many or more nukes than America does?

More than likely, except for hardened military installations (who would have forewarning), all civilian communications systems would go from the EMP burst generated by the nuke. I would hope and urge you to 'make peace' with your parents now; Don't wait for 'the end', you'll never know when that end comes or in what form ... and then it's too late.

Yes, that ^ In the Aerodynamics tab, among the nosecones and wings and heat shields and such. In the Tech Tree, the first one (AE-FF1, 1.25m) shows in the Aerodynamics tier, which branches off from the General Construction and Aviation research tiers... only one of these tiers needs to be researched before the Aerodynamics tier opens up.

From what I'm looking at here, online, the Arduino Due's programming language is based on C/C++. Still, I would agree, that coding in the processor's base assembler would provide the best results ... especially in light of instruction clock cycles optimization. I also see resources for such online.

fet·ish ˈfediSH/ noun noun: fetish; plural noun: fetishes an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit. And what is it you think it means?

Fit it with a model rocketry 'C' engine and launch it lol. (Don't take me serious, that surely would ruin the model.)

I finally ended my v0.90.0 game, my last 3 flights. I brought the space station commanders home. Then, off to the bit-bucket it went, but I saved all the screenies. Now... I wait... patiently... for docking cameras to return. Please.

Wow. Too bad the box isn't pristine. Look what it's worth... http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-7468-SATURN-V-APOLLO-MOON-MISSION-NASA-ROCKET-LUNAR-LANDER-MOON-BUGGY-NEW-/310539082479 Edit: Other samples... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xlego+7468.TRS0&_nkw=lego+7468&_sacat=0

Having had to deal with little nieces with My Little Pony fetishes, I find them annoying at best (the toys and cartoons, not the nieces). However, despite my laugh and poking fun, I did compliment Recon777's friend's artwork. Credit where credit is due.

From v0.23.5 ... after a catastrophic failure at launch, all that remained was the capsule sitting atop a Launch Stability Enhancer.....

What manner of currency are 'Tynes'?

Yes, hot-bunking. Your bunk mates were referred to as 'bunkies'. Such sleeping arrangements are not limited to subs; During the Korean War, my dad, assigned to one of the 6 destroyers of the Inchon pre-invasion fleet (USS Gurke DD-783, some stories there - sitting ducks - in the thick of it), had two bunkies. Their shift rotations were coordinated with two on duty while one slept. Hard times. Not much room in the rack either. Pity the man whose time off was during the beach softening. If you're not familiar with the story of the 'sitting ducks' of the Inchon invasion, do Google and read up.

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein, 1949

It's been long discussed, and all but forgotten. First of all they wouldn't tell you how many missiles, nor that they were missiles, nor that they were nukes, just that an attack was imminent. And these days, with subs sitting right off the coast, they wouldn't even bother to inform you ... you'd have all of 5 to 7 minutes, if that. FEMA and state OEMs (Office of Emergency Management) have no "warning" contingency plans; Only contingencies for the situations faced in the aftermath. That should tell you something.

My uncle (dad's eldest brother), landed in Normandy, Omaha Beach, Dog Sector, 3rd wave. He fought from the beach all the way in to Saint-Lo. He was one of the lucky ones which made it back home alive. He's long gone now (RIP), but I remember the stories ... many of which could well have been fodder for the movie Saving Private Ryan. Likewise TheSaint, likewise... not a day that goes by.

A telescope would be nice (I don't have one, always wanted one), but a good pair of binoculars works well also... the kind you can mount on a tripod spotter-scope like. Then you can watch the moons of Jupiter (if you've patience and time enough) move in their orbits, from time to time disappearing behind/in-front-of Jupiter. Pretty cool. You'd want to bracket your shots exposure-wise. As for the aperture (F-stop), you won't want a high number (trying to gain depth of field), being you're shooting through another set of optics, therefore ending up needing to increase your exposure time. And you'd want a very slow (timed) shutter speed... fast is for, like, freezing action. I would allow the camera to give a meter reading first to see what it suggests, then bracket shots. Nice shots tater.
