    See https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/10/18/microsoft-xbox-layoff/ -- quoting from this article: "Gaming industry veteran Greg Chapman confirmed layoffs of his Studio Alpha team on Twitter, before taking his account private. The team was what Microsoft called its “serious gaming initiative,” using cloud-computing service Microsoft Azure, artificial intelligence and simulations to solve data problems for the military and commercial use." I wonder if this will affect Asobo??

    This makes more sense and is easier (for me at least) to understand than the last one I put up here. Written by an Israeli pilot. https://eurasiantimes.com/sixth-generation-fighter-jet-how-the-goalposts-for-next-gen-warplanes/ Noel

    The fourth battery for my HP calculator just arrived. It's an HP 11C which I bought in 1982 or 1983. My Weather Flight Commander was an engineer for HP and he got it for me with his employee's discount. I forgot how much it cost. It's probably the best value for anything I ever bought. It's been my desktop companion for 40 years or so. And 10 year battery life ain't too shabby. Noel

    It never crossed my mind that an F-35 pilot might have drone for a wingman. How about a flight of four with two manned and two drones? I was never a fighter pilot but I think it would make me nervous to have some guy on the ground covering my six. Has the guy on the ground got the same range of visibility as the guy in the manned aircraft? Does he or she have the same expertise to fly a fighter in combat as an airborne pilot? Does the pilot sitting at a console miles away have the same 'pucker' factor as the pilot in the cockpit when things get hairy. The console pilot has nothing at stake or anything to risk as far as his own body is concerned. In short the dro…

    Free with ads https://youtu.be/rFOkCEdEaQU The Day The Earth Stood Still depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (Lock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C. hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come to warn them about.
