Back in the day, there were hosts on the internet that let you browse their entire filesystem via ftp. This was in the days before shadow password files were a thing, too. I'm too upstanding of a citizen to have done so, but a friend o

I remember using Mosaic for the first time and thinking that it sucked ass in comparison to gopher - so much less information available, and it was very hard to just browse the hierarchy to see what was on a server. On the other hand, I kin

Humans can echolocate without glasses - I learned to do it when I was a kid and would wander around the house at night because I couldn't sleep. It's a common skill for blind people to develop, too.

Tomahawks have air breathing turbojets that wouldn't function at 80k feet nor at speeds much above 5-600 mph. They're also not stealthy - they're designed to fly low to evade detection, and have conventional warheads. IMO, Sp

No, not at all. If anything, the report shows the F-35s can replace the A-10 for CAS in low and medium threat environments - which, coincidentally, are the only ones the A10 can operate in because it's a slow moving target for MANPADS.
