How to spot Mass Effect is fiction: Somebody engineered a human to be perfect in every way, gave her an Australian accent.

Ah, yes, the Northrop "MiG" F-5 LOL. If these had been piloted by Marines Tom Cruise would've lost.

What I find hilarious is that when "Charlie" is briefing the pilots just before the infamous "keeping up with foreign relations" bit, she actually says "We will dealing with F5s and A4s as our MiG simulators...."

IIRC Jester and Viper both flew A4s during the training missions, and the F5s didn't show up until the "MiG 28" scenes.

For example that you can get binary distributions for windows of the command line client. :lol:

Ah, so running git commands anywhere in a windows shell works automatically in windows, just like in linux/mac? (ie git init, git push, git clone works anywhere?)

Not automatically. You need to download the git binaries first and either extract them or install, and add the binaries location to PATH environment variable to make it work "anywhere".

Which is the same that you also need to make the package manager of your Linux do during installation.... :lol:
 
Obsolete stuff.... the rockets changed already.

I think the dressed-up F-5 "MiGs" were also in the beginning of the film, when Goose shoots the opposing pilot the finger during the silly inverted scene.

The A-4s were used as aggressors, particularly by Jester, and they were used in real life as well.

Speaking of SpaceX, somebody made a really cool animation of tomorrow's CRS-5 launch and flight profile. The second stage burning during Dragon's separation bothered me a bit though.

 
Memories from my time in Germany:

"If we use base 10^110, the vacuum catastrophe becomes a matter of a Nachkommazahl."

"Nachkommazahl" means "digit after the decimal point", so the English is roughly "the vacuum catastrophe becomes a simple rounding error".
 
A reminder from the doctor:
keeping your include paths clean in visual studio contributes to your sanity. Especially if some header files in different projects have the same names, like, say, "common.h"... :beathead:

Sounds like something from Douglas Adams...

"According to the Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy, The Fourth Rambulin Empire met its untimely end when a lowly government accountant by the name of Grodulous Snimble accidentally caused a localised vacuum catastrophe by attempting to calculate tax returns using base 10^110. This is another example of how the Guide is greatly superior to the Encyclopaedia Galactica, which merely remarks that the Empire was destroyed by 'unknown hostile rounding errors'."
