Whatever can tentatively be linked to technology is cool to discuss in here.
Like that NYTimes article I linked to, the hard things for the unit being profiled was....NO INTERNET, unable to check fantasy sports, NO MIL CONTRACTORS .

Shim, what's your thoughts on professional computer associations?
Examples: IEEE, ACM, EPIC, etc. Some of them have decent resources, and bmfyx jajsg jyyjw ymjfg nqnyd ytoil jtyme jwxee

quote:

In the battles of the 32nd century, MechWarriors and infantry alike fear the air cavalry: high-tech poly-metal helicopters that rain death and destruction as their rotors shriek in fury. Thundering across battlefields of a hundred future worlds, BattleMechs are the kings of combat in The Republic of the Sphere.

quote:

BattleTech has been described as "the future of the 80's" for its aesthetics and technological ficion. Real-world technology developed quite differently from what the authors believed at the time of the inception of the game, leading to occasionally odd concepts of what is supposedly possible and what is not. The most glaring mismatches are weapon ranges in BattleTech, which are mere fractions of the ranges easily achieved with similar weapons in the real world, and the perceived size and performance of computers. The internet was not part of the early fiction either, but comparable communication networks were later written in.

The BattleTech universe is largely rooted in real-world physics, but some key premises of the universe are science fiction in that they seem to defy the laws of physics as they are currently known. These include super-efficient fusion engines that supply vast amounts of power from relatively small and compact devices, starship thrust drives that outperform any currently known thrusters technology, and Kearny-Fuchida Drive technology that allows for faster-than-light travel and communication.

Iconic fictional technologies from the BattleTech universe include:

BattleMechs: A basic premise of BattleTech is the evolution of the BattleMech as a superior war machine. Driven by human pilots with the help of neurohelmets, 'Mechs are gigantic humanoid walking tanks that imitate human movement patterns which makes them easier to control (as they can be used like super-large battlesuits) and supposedly gives them a significant advantage in mobility and versatility over other vehicles.

DropShips: Most space traffic is handled with DropShips. Powered by fusion engines and highly efficient thrust drives, these are extremely rugged and versatile shuttlecraft ranging from anywhere between 200 to 100,000 tons in mass. They are generally easily capable of landing on planets and taking off into space again under their own power. In space, they can maintain acceleration of 1g or more for several days or weeks.

JumpShips: JumpShips can perform jumps of up to 30 lightyears between Jump Points within mere seconds (typically from one star system to another). They are essentially Kearny-Fuchida Drive cores to which DropShips can attach themselves for faster-than-light transportation.

Hyperpulse Generators: Known as HPGs for short, these employ the same fictional Kearny-Fuchida principles as jump drives, but instead of moving starships they transmit data at faster-than-light speed. Their range is up to around 50 lightyears, and messages are usually bundled and sent out in certain intervals (as opposed to continual transmission, which is also possible but rarely used). A communications network of HPGs was established that survived the downfall of the Star League and now marks the boundary of the Inner Sphere. The HPG network is generally associated with ComStar who exclusively operated it and evolved into a religious body over this.

Careful now. N4I might start bitching about the maintenance checklists on those things.
And Shim might start hacking those interstellar fax machines.
Do those huge 100 ton battlemechs have turn signals & reverse gear beeping?

I wonder what kind of VA analogue exists in the battletech universe.

if VA was comstar then HPL messages would take like 3 years so IDK

edit: I'm googling HPL to see if thats correct term and if it is I'm going to kill myself

edit2: its HPG

# ? Jun 8, 2016 01:59

Truth. But each HPL message is like 15kb maximum. And MRI scans take up roughly 2TB, so....
hmmm. IDK either.

edited too HPG too

If the VA went all

"So about all that money we were getting, and not using on substandard care while actively killing dudes. We actually used it to build giant fighting robots with huge missile racks and the dropships to carry them! and the Dudes didn't die! They were in a secret mech pilot training program!"

That would be pretty cool. Too bad they'll probably kill me for real at some point when I get out and I'll find out its not a mech pilot job.

OMFG PTSD LOL PBUH: Sep 9, 2001

Found CP on the thumb drive and gave it to the authorities.

Ended up getting questioned for like 3 hours on how I came to be in possession of the thumb drive. They didn't believe I had it smuggled out of Cuba by an American friend who visited Cuba this summer. Finally when I explained my interest in the drive I think they realized I was a law abiding citizen taking a crack at digital forensics. They ended up thanking me in the end.

Now I know I'm on a list somewhere, and not a good list like schindlers.

Lots of political art on the drive, too. Anti Castro stuff.

Didn't mean to get you all excited. I don't have hard evidence, just my own speculation. Since IDR got called out we did get some people with new accounts posting with some fairly mundane stories at first that quickly went into the bullshit realm which really reminded me of how the whole IDR thing went down.

Hey.

If Shim still posts in this forum:

Shim, keep strong and do what you need to do.
IT career path can be rough. If college sucks, bail and look at alternative options.

The Challenger Launch Decision by Diane Vaughan is a good read.
Lots of details that still bring anger 30 years on. And not an isolated case.

The Fires by Joe Flood
How a computer formula, big ideas, and the best of intentions burned down New York City - and determined the future of cities.

One of the top five books I've read this year.
Really loving interesting from a technology cautionary tale angle and a near-perfect analogy to election year 2016.
It is about how NYC turned into a shithole from the 1960s - early 1980s.
tldr version: Self sabotage at many levels, with a starring role by RAND corporation, bleeding edge firecodes & the World Trade Center buildings.
