FB22 Strike Raptor to have HELLADS

First we had large Tactical High Energy Lasers. Then we have Mobile Tactical High Energy Lasers, but our most advanced fighter bomber aircraft, FB22 Strike Raptor will have HELLADS (lazer cannon) so that there is no wasted missiles. The HELLADS program has completed the design and demonstration of a revolutionary subscale high energy laser that supports the goal of a lightweight and compact high energy laser weapon system.

* HELLADS
o Develop and test a 17 kW objective system laser module with integrated power and thermal management subsystems.
o Complete preliminary design of a 150 kW laser weapon system.
o Complete detailed design and fabricate a 150 kW laser weapon system demonstrator.
o Demonstrate performance of a 150 kW HEL and of a 150 kW laser weapon system.



* Aero Adaptive Beam Control
o Conduct design trade studies to develop preferred flow control approach.
o Develop wind tunnel test plan and design wind tunnel model.
o Conduct preliminary tests of flow control approaches using computational fluid dynamics and small scale wind tunnel tests.
o Conduct full scale wind tunnel test to measure aero-optics distortions for turret.
o Utilize flow control to reduce aero-optics effects and measure wavefronts to model effects of adaptive optics processing.
o Integrate adaptive aero optics system with wind tunnel model to conduct hardware-in-the-loop wind tunnel demonstration.
o Design flight test hardware and develop flight test plan.
o Build turret incorporating flow control and compatible with HELLADS laser system and flight test measuring beam quality

Progress [H264]

Can you think of better music?

Fucking foreign nationals say this war is endless which isn't true. It's like Rock Concerts where the singer says false thing to raise hype. Democrats are "Hyping"

I say if we're in Iraq/War for 4 more years fighting terrorists - might as well just nuke our enemy's nuke faculties to end this endless war. The cleanup is probably as expensive as funding longer war. We're a superpower...we can't be assed about war for 9 yrs, because we have nuclear weapons and can't use them. B2 Spirits will just nuke the nuclear facilities and take the consequences in my opinion, because no one is helping us "win it" and "the democrats are saying this war is endless.

Nuking Iran/Iraq should make them shut the fuck up.

lock the democrats out of congress so they can't override foolish anti-war damnation. These are the same democrats that opposed the Vietnam war (yet older) and WE WERE WINNING EVERY FIGHT THERE. They listened to British Beatles (which are British and anti-war), did barn parties, were bums, and drugged up. Same guys who think maraquana should to be legalized. We got the best military money can buy. Democrats don't understand. We got 12 of the largest capital ships in the world and nuclear weapons, and 22 B2 Spirits and the #1 economy that is exactly as strong as the whole EU economy. We're just going to have to go back to Iran 10 yrs later. I pwned you. Without winning wars...all that money the military has vanishes and we can't have China's military superior to ours. It's inevibal China is going to have a larger economy and they're Asian. Whose going to be a counter-superpower of China if they're a superpower? Nobody except USA!

Turkey can have Iraq while US armed forces invade Iran! Turkey looks like they have good sized army and the only European country to use our helicopters (Black Hawk). Anybody who can drive terrorists insane is a good thing. Why would they hurt the situation...they're a part of NATO too.

Who cares about civilian deaths? I mean in Vietnam and Korean nobody gave a damn. All of a sudden...it's not politically right to do collateral damage. Thinking it's a scheme so European Union can pull ahead with your advancing military technology. For example, in Battlefield 2142, European Union Armed Forces basically mirrored US Armed Forces when they had a chance of super power (no USA, frozen over) and no doubt EU did collateral damage in that game. It was made by the Cannooks too.

Geforce 9800 GTX School Essay! Favoritest Essay in the whole world! :)

In this blog entry I'm retiring my homework last week here, because I thought it was 9.0 out of 10 work, but that's just me. She said my first paragraph was PERFECT while other paragraphs were ranging from 7.5 - 8.5 therefore averaging 8.2.

This assignment is about including the Geforce 9800 GTX or Geforce 9800 GTS [1] with my Core 2 Quad + socket 775 motherboard + DDR2 RAM (double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory 2nd generation) purchase. For the case of quality writing, internet forums may not immediately come to mind as a great source. The primary purpose of most forums is simply discussion. This often brings a wide variety of demographics including age, maturity level etc in to play, and consequently varying levels of writing skill. When I post it is often to my benefit to back up any claims I make with valid URL sources, and to post in a clear and informative tone. Peers are apt to respond positively to this approach and subsequently add to my reputation.

In my thread [2], I had to state what I was buying and try not to be bias towards the Geforce 9800 GTX. If I knew what I wanted then online members of PS3forums ask what the purpose of the thread was I would not receive any quality replies. This was interesting that there were only a few DirectX 10 games out [3], but my first Windows Vista boxed version will carry Service Pack 1 with DirectX 10.1 [4]. DirectX 10.1 has Shader Model 5.0, accelerated DXTC texture decompression, improved physics processing and has three times the memory bandwidth of my Geforce 8800 GTX (88 Gigabytes/sec). The forum gamers of this thread convinced me to buy a Core 2 Quad for my birthday, because it’s cheaper than the Geforce 9800 GTX. However, I told these biased members I was buying both graphics processing unit and CPU, and I wanted to give them a legitimate reason which was Vista comes with DirectX 10.1. The PS3forum members agree I don’t need a Geforce 9800 GTX. No one was right about DirectX 10.1 working with any of the Geforce 8 series video cards though. These forum members said teraflop floating point is not needed in DirectX 10 games even if it’s good enough for Xbox 360; a DirectX 9.0c console.

If I had a Geforce 9800 GTX, I could have it free so I have some serious frame rate upgrades which is where PCs are going to be at in a year anyways. The average person buying a new pc will have them inside their computer so I don’t see why I shouldn’t have it inside my computer I would be even more right picking the AMD Phenom X4. If my were buying the Geforce 9800 GTX for Christmas; I would still have to pay for the Phenom X4 and Socket AM2+ motherboard which is out of my budget. Buying both Core 2 Quad and Geforce 9800 GTS and a gigabyte of DDR2 RAM is within my budget. Everything from now into the future is going to be overpowered and unneeded, yet that’s what I’m in business for. Vista will come with DirectX 10.1 and it’s future proofing due to my PC having an Athlon 64 X2 4800 inside it. DirectX 10 GPUs are seen as a high end configuration presently, yet an affordable option when it’s Geforce 8300 GTS.

In my conclusion, starting a thread on the forum helped me decide that a Geforce 9800 GTX and Core 2 Quad Q6600 was exactly what I wanted. AMD’s more expensive Phenom X4, with more L3 cache, is out of my budget. I could gain better game performance with the Geforce 9800 GTX with the Core 2 Quad than I would with a Phenom X4 and my current video card. Windows Vista only recommends a 1 Gigahertz central processing unit with 512 Megabytes of RAM so that obviously doesn’t include DirectX 10 game requirements these days. My current Geforce 8800 GTX has a G80 core clocked at 575 Megahertz with 768 Megabytes GDDR4 at 900 Megahertz [5]. Otherwise the Geforce 9800 GTX has 1024 Megabytes of GDDR4 (RAM) at 1.3 Gigahertz with updated firmware and over 700 MHz clock speed. I know I could get by with a Geforce 9800 GTS which costs $200 less. I would still be happy if they just paid for the Geforce 9800 GTS, because it’s less expensive then the Geforce 9800 GTX. I believe real world figures won’t justify the price point between the Phenom X4 over Core 2 Quad or the Geforce 9800 GTX over Geforce 9800 GTS, and I don’t want to not get a DirectX 10.1 graphics processing unit free.

Bought John Deere ATV

Woah! I got my first ATV ever! Now I'm kicking ass if i can find a friend. I blew my whole savings on it. This guy from Warren, Wisconsin was trying to rid of it during this move. Now I can make friends this way! It's also my first pickup. I'm going to fucking pull my finger at anyone who looks like a enemy. This thing cost a lot of money...$1,985!

Uncle Bought me Tales of Destiny II

You don't know how many times I called the Hi Score and Toyriffic for this game. I saw it once at Hi Score in Stillwater, but never picked it up for $80. My uncle bought the game from a Michigan man for $49! That is such a great deal. Now I'll wait a year before I ask him for Valkyrie Profile, because I hate to use him. He didn't ask if it I was into anime or anything! What a guy. This game got a score of 9.2 at IGN with gameplay a 10.

It's coming in the mail.
