SAP CTO bows out over 'incident' at company shindig

Re: I want to address an incident at a past company event where my behavior was inappropriate...

In a previous life, I worked for the the big X company, and we had machines on a military base. Literally 2 or 3 times a year I had to replace platen glass. This can crash the machine, so most of the time, I had "evidence" It ALWAYS got posted by the copier, and I think it triggered more events sometimes..

But I don't remember any copies with lederhosen....

Cultural Treasures

Most don't know, without travel to the island of Formosa; when the communist drove the ruling elite from the mainland, they took all of the treasures that were bestowed upon the leaders of China, for all those thousands of years.

These currently reside in in Taiwan. The displays are stunning, takes days to see what is displayed, and most is locked out of sight.

Maybe that's want the leadership want back...

NASA to tear the wings off plane in the name of sustainability

Re: Not this again

Sound barrier was broken in 1945 by Hans Guido Mutke

On 9 April 1945, Fähnrich Mutke, in his Messerschmitt Me 262.

Mutke went into a steep 40° dive with full engine power. While passing through the altitude of 12,000 m, his Me 262 started to vibrate and began swinging from side to side. The airspeed indicator was stuck against its limit of 1,100 km/h (684 mph) (the maximum speed of the Me 262 is 870 km/h). The speed of sound is 1,062 km/h (660 mph) at an altitude of 12,000 m, depending on the environmental variables. The shaking intensified, and Mutke temporarily lost control of his plane. He reported that with the airspeed indicator still off the scale he attempted to recover from the uncontrollable dive by adjusting the main tailplane incidence angle. Rather than just having a hinged elevator, the Me 262 could change the angle of incidence of the whole tailplane, a design feature that was later added to the Bell X1. Suddenly, the buffeting stopped, and control resumed for a few seconds. Mutke throttled back and his engines flamed out, and after the short period of smooth flight, the buffeting resumed and the aircraft began shaking violently again. He fought to regain control and re-light the engines eventually reducing the speed below 500 km/h. After a difficult landing, it was found that his plane was missing many rivets and also had distorted wings

(A computer-based performance analysis of the Me 262 carried out in 1999 at the Technische Universität München concluded that the Me 262 could indeed exceed Mach 1)

German finance minister says nein to more Intel subsidy cash

AMD

AMD was welcomed with open arms, and much BruHaHA ..

Projects I was involved in for a refresh across the German Federal State managed services choose AMD kit over Intel ..

( At the time, AMD Processors sipped BTU's in direct comparison with Intel.. even though the Intel CPU completed the job "faster" than AMD.. AMD processors were manufactured within Germany's borders; so it made financial sense IMHO )

It would be interesting to be fully plugged in to that decision not to subsidize a Intel FAB.
