  1. The Viper has better acceleration and better sustained turn rate. If the Viper pilot plays it right, he can enter and leave as he pleases.
  2. Will the early access be handled like usually, in that an early access release date is announced in advance?

    You should watch the video... Speed, size, AoA all have an effect.
  4. His position was that Tool albums should be listened in their entirety, not songs cherry picked into a playlist. Understandable. But then that's what i usually do on spotify, listen to entire albums, so it's nice to be able to have access to Tool now.
  5. Interesting that Maynard reconsidered. I remember him having strong opinions about the incompatibility of Tool with Spotify users' listening habits.
  6. You are aware that Mr. Pall sells supplements that, according to their description, are supposed to help against the detrimental effects of non ionizing radiation? You don't think that might be a conflict of interest right there?
  7. Please read this: https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/emerging/docs/scenihr_o_041.pdf
  8. Holy mother of Moses, this is starting to get interesting. You can believe whatever you want, since that's what you're doing anyway. Yet here you are, sitting in front of your computer that emits a bunch of bad bad electrosmog, writing about how bad that is for our bodies. Shouldn't you be spending the majority of your days in a faraday cage? God forbid you develop electrosensitivity.
  9. It's not healthy to put your head into a running microwave oven either. But the problem isn't necessarily cancer.
  10. I'm an electrical engineer, i don't do PR. The real world is almost universally nonlinear, certainly with ionizing radiation, this is the case, there is a very clear distinction. The probability of microwaves ionizing an atom are so low that it literally just does not happen. If you would stop quoting papers with exclamation marks in their titles and read some actual scientific research, you would see that the scientific consensus is that there is a very low chance of non ionizing radiation having anything to do with cancer. There are a lot of other factors including our lifestyle and exposure to things ranging from artificial softeners to pesticides that have an actually measurable impact on cancer rates. Oh boy. Several points for you to consider: What we are talking about are electromagnetic waves. Those are not generated by DC. DC generates a static magnetic field, but no electromagnetic waves. They are only emitted if there is a change in current, hence alternating current. Also static fields are harmless (if not, earth's magnetic field would be the first to blame for cancer). Saying that electric and magnetic fields drop off more with distance is nonsense, electromagnetic waves are based on the principles of both these fields and the same laws apply. You completely disregard the effect of different frequency bands of electromagnetic radiation by just calling it "electrosmog". Once again, please read up on the difference between ionizing and non ionizing radiation (and not just papers that share your belief system). You don't say. ;)
  11. How often did that study get quoted in serious journals, how big was its impact? Did somebody repeat the experiments and arrive at the same conclusions? From where I'm standing, you are mixing up valid and proven concerns with pseudo-scientific stuff. This is precisely not how radiation works. There is only one way known to us in which microwaves can be harmful to human tissue, and that is by such high intensities that the tissue will take thermal damage. If there actually is another mechanism, then its impact must be minuscule or it wouldn't be this hard to prove.
  12. There's been no conclusive study showing a causality between cancer and cellphone radiation. Long distance flights are a completely different thing because cosmic radiation is ionizing.
  13. Yup, should probably return a dictionary or a list.
  14. Because it is a change request and not a bug.
  15. The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Unforeseen things can happen in the course of a project, the respective engineers can quit or, god forbid, worse. Other projects can take precedence, requiring a shift in ressources. Basically, everything can happen. That's not even factoring in hitting unforeseen roadblocks which is common when switching to different technologies, especially complicated ones like the graphics API.

    You will rarely have the chance in WVR combat to fly the exact same path as your opponent, unless he is unaware of you and flies just straight.
  17. You do not. You can either wing it by applying a lowpass filter or measure the attenuation of the helmet with an artificial head microphone. You can then convolve the unattenuated audio with the transfer function you measured to get the attenuated audio.
  18. Entering AGL makes no sense at all. Why would i want to steer my bomb to a coordinate above the surface? I would have little control over where that bomb actually hits. You always want to enter coordinates that are relative to your origin of coordinates, not enter two coordinates relative to your origin (lat & lon) and then enter one relative to a function of lat & lon. That makes no sense whatsoever.
  19. Already been confirmed as in the works.
  20. It's only reasonable that once RWS and TWS are fully fleshed out for the Hornet, they will be able to put them into the Viper quickly.
  21. Unlikely, they'd have mentioned that so close to release.
  22. What about Fighting Falcon pilots then? :P
