The sparrow was a cheap upgrade and sparrows plentiful in the inventory. The AMRAAM didnt come before 1992.

PoAF's original order of F-16's (there were 2 orders) was of the ADF variant back in 1994. They had the exact same radar APG-66 as standard block 15, 10 and 5, then only difference was that they had an additional radar mode and wiring to 2 stations on the wings specifically for the Sparrow. The government at the time specifically wanted a plane with BVR capability, however we had no public information available if the missiles were infact ever acquired either directly from the manufacturer or from another allied country inventory (the second batch was purchased in 1999 for the intent of MLU conversion). The Italian ADF's even had AMRAAM compatibility. But they entered service later with the intent as serving stop gap for the Typhoon only.

Military and Aviation News Thread (NO DISCUSSION)
Pilotasso replied to topol-m's topic in Military and Aviation
PoAF officially retires the Alpha Jet. It's left without replacement sadly. -7LFe6l-pVI -
we still got stock at 800€ in my country but thats more than the average salary and few people consider buying them anyway. If your living like in germany you can get a cheap flight and save LOTS of dough ! :D just sayin

And then it's back up again 2weeks later. It's very volatile. This is something the manufacturers have to take in account for their product portfolio and we have to deal with it in the meantime.

It's the perfect Storm. AMD only has one interesting card to compete with NVIDIA the VEGA 56 and they are in short supply. The custom models are nowhere to be seen. There has beem so MUCH delay from the partners, and most of that is partly due to AMD and their plan to stick with HBM2. Therefore, everytime miner business surges NVIDIA charges whatever it wants. Glad I bought my 1080Ti back in may.

Kernel memory leaking on Intel processors
Pilotasso replied to StandingCow's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
You know what? Marketing department @ Intel are geniuses. More so than their Engineers in the last 4 years. Zero IPC gains in that Time frame and bad rep, sales stagnating. So what do you do to create demand while technically beaten by AMD rivals? Let everyone know about a bug they only knew for the longest of time that affects performance of their older CPU's. So much so that AMD themselves with global foundries backing them up cannot keep up with the surge. It's like: Clients- "ooh, 8th gen. So what? we're sitting pretty on our Haswell and broadwell machines, FU intel!" Intel-" well, FU back. All those processors are bugged, good luck haha!" CLients- "well, we're just going to buy Epyc then, Bye!" AMD- *scotty accent* she's givin all shes got capt'n she canae hold any longer!" *holding onto the Coffe machine steaming loudly and shaking on its stand* Clients- "heeeeeeey Intel! Soooooooo. About those CPU's...." -
Wow, did they manage to recover or destroy the weapons? That could be a huge leak of tech.

Kernel memory leaking on Intel processors
Pilotasso replied to StandingCow's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Intel is too big to NVIDIA to swallow even if they get hit hard in sales this year. But glad you mentioned it because there is a 3rd contender that might be small enough for them to buy and build CPU's from. VIA. This company has X86 licencing (they bought Cyrix back in late 90's) and they have been ramping up R&D to get back in CPU business. -
That F-15 seemed pretty low, also the missile is still quite hot so any IR camera can still pick up a trail even if the motor has ended its boost phase.

Kernel memory leaking on Intel processors
Pilotasso replied to StandingCow's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
someone wants to buy cheap intel shares it seems. Seriosuly, I am now on AMD, but is your intel machine any worse after the bug reveal? No. It's probably still the fastest chip out there for the most popular games. you probably wont notice except in very specific circumstances but the market needs some speculation I guess. -
what we need next is to spread the game logic onto more logical cores not just the graphics rendering part. Vulkan is nevertheless a huge welcome step in the multithreading direction. :)

Disney is wiping the franchise clean to start a new trilogy. The way the original characters are being treated with silly roles and plots makes me sad (except for Ford who hated being solo and wanted to get killed off since empire but was convinced to come back twice for big paychecks). Rogue one was decent tho.

New generation Ryzen rumours (2018 Q1 launch)
Pilotasso replied to Pilotasso's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
It seems that AMD has confirmed Ryzen 12nm refresh for Q1 up to 8 cores. A new test bios based on AGESA 1.1.0.0 has hinted at memory straps of 3766 and 4000 getting special focus XFR 2 and other technologies but the officials are tight liped (then why release a test BIOS? ) :D Source: http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread/31780_20#post_26511568 -
They must have been veritable glowing AMRAAMs in space. :D On another note. The feeling I got for Ep 8 is like when you hear about how other movies original endings were rewritten and re shot in order to correct the plot to make sense and we got none of that for the Last Jedi. It's like they were experimenting on us" how about we leave as is?"

here you go sir :D 1vdl4pAtno4 EDIT: jumped the gun, it's only a review
-
They don't know how to make movies anymore but the people who watch them are to blame also, critics are just an extension of that idiocy. I came into the theater thinking it was the best sw movie, but contrary to the reviews I think rogue one was the best on this side of the century.

I warned about spoilers didnt I? :D

went to see Episode 8 yesterday. I have mixed feelings about it. It could have cemented the franchise on this side of the millennium with a great memorable movie. So much potential there with a few changes. I'll begin by saying: Disney please stop pretending this is game of thrones in space! :D Because the part of Rey's/Luke's story arch was absolutely brilliant, the other arch was undermined by secondary characters that contributed little to the richness of the story. The sudden deaths managed not to engage the audience because we never had time to really know them (hence my reference to game of thrones). nor did their sacrifice advance to anyone's collective good in that movie.

So unlucky, I rarely make these posts, it had to be fake :D oh well. -
New generation Ryzen rumours (2018 Q1 launch)
Pilotasso replied to Pilotasso's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Perhaps, it's just the rumour mill but it's fun :D Last year they got most things true. One exception was that french magazine claiming to know the first gen Zen would reach 5Ghz, which was immediately dismissed by most sites.
