12/31/2023 0 Comments Nasa launch schedule![]() Smith was roundly denounced for his remarks. You think that doesn't have an impact? If you think it doesn't, you're stupid." here's a bunch of idiots who can't even handle a launch schedule. Smith explained: "Every time there was a delay, the press would say, 'Look, there's another delay. Smith, director of the Kennedy Space Center, argued that news stories about delays and aborted launches in the weeks before the Challenger launch had created "98 percent of the pressure" to go ahead with the ill-fated mission. In an interview with The Washington Post, Richard G. 27 matters because it may help explain the central mystery of the shuttle tragedy: Why did NASA decide to launch the Challenger the next morning despite extremely cold weather and warnings about O-ring problems? Were therehidden pressures? A White House phone call, perhaps? Or a push from an ambitious NASA manager?Ī senior NASA official advanced a theory of his own several weeks ago. ![]() The tone of media coverage of NASA on the night of Jan. The piece conveyed the impression that NASA technicians, though prudent and cautious, were bumblers. Pictures of frustrated technicians in white suits accompanied a narrative of failure: a screw that was stuck, batteries that were too weak to operate a drill, a drill bit that crumbled, and finally, the use of a hacksaw. He went on to narrate the cause of the latest delay, a door handle that didn't work. Hall reported from Kennedy Space Center that "confidence in NASA's ability to maintain a launch schedule has been rocked by this series of embarrassing technical snafus and weather delays." Bruce Hall has the latest on today's high-tech low comedy." What's more, a rescheduled launch for tomorrow doesn't look good either. This time a bad bolt on a hatch and a bad-weather bolt from the blue are being blamed. Instead, Dan Rather began his newscast on the eve of the shuttle tragedy this way: "Yet another costly, red-faces-all-around space-shuttle-launch delay. Bruce Hall in Florida has a report on how NASA is standing firm despite the pressure of a tight launch schedule." 27: "Caution was the watchword at Cape Canaveral today, as take-no-risk NASA officials decided once again to postpone a launch rather than endanger the crew, which includes school teacher Christa McAuliffe.

Many formerly convoluted processes have been radically simplified. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Mini motor racing evo steamThe main problem with the game is the AI competition, which is vastly unfair. The visuals are nice enough and there is a wide choice of cars. The game has a weird handling model, but as it's a cartoony RC game it's forgivable and something you soon get accustomed to. A positive review (or a negative review that shows me things I like) may bump that up to my 'buy now' list, time will tell.Has great potential, but ultimately fails spectacularly due to some idiotic game design decisions. This game, however, is going on my "interesting" list, which puts it above other titles I don't own. Me? I am not jumping to buy the game, but that has nothing to do with the game itself, that is just because I have a lot of games already to finish first. As reviews start to come out this issue will probably be resolved pretty cleanly. If everythign they say about the title is true, everything sounds good, but given what has happened with other games by other companies, I can understand people being dubious. I sugest that anyone that is concerned about this not skip the game but find a good review/comparison to help make a decision. I am going to wait till I hear some reviews by someone who has played both versions, but I'm not seeing any issues on the surface. The only concern I have left is the nature of mobile games in the play time for a round, but that isn't an issue, just something to consider games with shorter play times are getting more use now-a-days as gamers get older anyway. Sounds like this might be one of the few mobile to pc "ports" worth the asking price. Oh not to mention the initial sale price making it a little less of a pinch on the pocket.Īnyway, I hope you can see/have heard enough to maybe tempt you to check out Mini Motor Evo :) We really worked hard to make it fantastic value for money and added lots of neat little features that make it fun playing with or without friends. I hope that clears up some of the questions regarding the price of the game. The entire currency and unlock system in the game has been changed. Cars that you would otherwise have to purchase on the mobile version are unlocked, leaving you more cash to spend on upgrades. Keyboard/Mouse/Xbox or Microsoft compatible controller supportĪ lot of work has gone into this to make it much, much more than a simple port. ![]() Full steam multiplayer support (invite frriends, random races, LAN support) Track editor with full workshop integration, practically limitless content to play both locally and online All artwork has been completely revamped at higher resolutions and much more detail Just to clear up some differences from the mobile platforms, here is a little list of some of the work we have done to get this Steam ready: ![]() Given the inclusion of the Steam Workshop and the list of enhancements given above it is less likely this is a lazy port, but I would love to hear the point of view of those that have tried both versions. ![]() I don't know what general enhancements have taken place from the Android version, but I do know that if few changes are made porting an Android game to PC isn't that hard (you mostly just need to recompile with some minor changes for a JAVA VM rather than an Android OS). ![]() While I understand the added value in this edition I do not quite see it being 10 times the price. That said, when a game is $0.99 on its native platform but $9.99 on PC it's a little odd. The inclusion of the Steam Workshop and exclusive content also helps make this a different game. (Hero Academy for example is a free game with microtransaction based addons on the iPhone, but a paid PC game with a special team that still has the same DLC setup, where it's cheapest to buy it on Steam and then get the DLC on iPhone if you want all the factions.)Ĭonsidering that a differnt team dealt with the conversion itsless likely that you would get any sort of linking between the two platforms, though if it is the same company that should be strived for. Now, if the game had microtransactions sharing them between the platforms would probably be a good idea, but in my cursory look over the game I didn't see any. In this case you are paying for a sort of "enhanced edition". This is indeed a differnt game than on the mobile platform. ![]() Whether planning a golf trip to Ireland or Scotland, you are likely going to have to spend north of $300 a round to play the best links golf. Therefore, the kind of golf you wish to play, and the boxes you may wish to tick, will have a significant impact on your trip price. It is obvious that you will pay more for a golf course on the Open Championship rota such as a Royal Portrush or Royal Birkdale, than you will for the local municipal. As a professional tour operator, we take these factors into account when scheduling your trip.Īs you know, golf courses are not all cut from the same cloth. Some of this is done to avoid member times, but also to maximise their tee sheets. Some courses will offer guests incentives to play early, or avail of their ‘sunset’ rates which are usually cheaper. Reasons for this are numerous, but it is worth bearing in mind. The busiest month of the year to golf in Ireland or Scotland is September. However, because we encourage our clients to plan more than a year in advance, availability is rarely an issue except where a tournament is already in the diary. Availability can be impacted, and as a result the price. However, it also includes the months of July & August when domestic tourism is at its peak. If you visit the Highlands of Scotland to play Royal Dornoch for example, it can be bright, in the height of the summer, until well after 11pm. They are also the months with the most sunlight, and this can be an important factor for anyone looking to play 36 a day. The months between May and September are ‘usually’ the ones with the best weather. Either side of this is deemed the “shoulder months” and they (April and October) can also be popular, particularly for Europeans. This is the best time of the year to golf in Scotland or Ireland. The ‘peak’ golf season in the UK & Ireland is between May and September but can drift into mid-October. When you travel, will have a significant impact on the trip price. In no particular order, here are the things to consider, for either an Ireland or Scotland golf trip, that will determine more than any other, how much does your golf trip cost: – So, in this post, we have decided to provide you with some of the most important factors that influence the outcome. It is also genuinely one of those “how long is a piece of string” questions, because there are just so many variables involved. This is probably the question we get asked most often by prospective clients, for good reason. How much does an Ireland or Scotland golf trip cost?

Not only is Max Irons of European descent instead of a prototypical All-American (he’s the son of Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack, making him an Englishman and Irishman), but he’s a relative newcomer to domestic audiences. Perhaps the biggest shift isn’t even updating ’70s-era job descriptions, style, and locations from 1975 to 2018, but that the star of “Condor” is the anti-Robert Redford. and digs into the American government’s questionable moral compass and ties to big business. “Condor” isn’t particularly political (yet), but it does shift from New York to Washington D.C. In Pollack’s film, every government agent is a suspect - even the mailman comes after Redford’s Joe Turner - and there’s plenty of reason to bring up similar institutional doubts in 2018. Is the agency after him? Is someone else? Who can be trusted? These paranoid questions are the same ones posed by the movie, and they’re certainly relevant today. He’s the only survivor, and now he’s got to figure out why his coworkers were killed and what he can do to save himself. But before he can firmly decide his future (and please skip to the next paragraph if you’re unfamiliar with the previous “Condor” book or movie), Joe’s clandestine station is attacked. That’s not exactly what he signed up for, but it does make him question his predetermined beliefs. His bosses tried to use a computer program he built years ago to suss out a terrorist threat and, because it worked, now they’re willing to keep misapplying the program in the future. ![]() ‘Culprits’ Review: Hulu’s Crime Thriller Is a Long Con with Little PayoffĪfter being called in by the top brass to help catch a suspected terrorist, Joe Turner (Max Irons) is done with the intelligence business. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Metabase vs powerbiQuick Setup: Metabase can be set up in under five minutes with easy onboarding to provide faster data insights that can be shared within the organization.Data visualization and collaboration tool.

I particularly like the use of vector-based flat design elements via SVG for appropriate scaling to various devices and output, an area where 3D rendered elements often perform badly or at least simplistically (e.g. Affinity Designer is well-placed to take advantage of this trend if it continues. ![]() My prediction is that in time we'll see wider adoption of the Flat 2.0/Material Design approach, using mainly flat design elements enlivened with gradients, highlights, some textures, and shadows, along with use of images and videos as elements. I suspect that for many people flat design looks both "cleaner" and more modern than visual skeuomorphism ("realism") after its widespread use in Mac, Windows, and Google design elements from 2013/2014 onwards, overtaking the visual skeuomorphism of earlier design elements (although not necessarily replacing layout derived from real objects), particularly with the introduction of subtle elements such as gradients and highlights in Flat (Design) 2.0. ![]() Moreover, while the ADL repository does provide 3D models for those who prefer skeuomorphic ("realistic") design, the SCORM users guide for instructional designers does not mandate the use of 3D, and in fact specifically states that it "does not dictate the formatting or look and feel of screens and the elements on them" (p.17) and "SCORM does not dictate any particular design methodology or design pattern" (p.27). Send your projects by email, save to iCloud or Dropbox, the choice is yours.Ĭontinuous export works like a charm too.They were very handy recently rather than using individual SVG elements for maintaining consistency with existing material using Font Awesome SCORM standards, by my understanding, are intended to provide guidelines on pathways and sequencing, and technological consistency for re-use and interaction of eLearning resources, rather than providing standards for the UI/UX world in general, and the only design elements refer to data models, not UI/UX.

It’s the most ambitious app ever created for iPad ![]() On March 6, 2008, Apple held a press event, announcing the iPhone SDK. In October 2007, Apple announced that a native Software Development Kit (SDK) was under development and that they planned to put it "in developers' hands in February". Jobs' reasoning was that developers could build web applications through the Safari web browser that "would behave like native apps on the iPhone". ![]() Initially, third-party native applications were not supported. At the time of its unveiling in January, Steve Jobs claimed: "iPhone runs OS X" and runs "desktop class applications", but at the time of the iPhone's release, the operating system was renamed "iPhone OS". The operating system was unveiled with the iPhone at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 9, 2007, and released in June of that year. Forstall was also responsible for creating a software development kit for programmers to build iPhone apps, as well as an App Store within iTunes. The decision enabled the success of the iPhone as a platform for third-party developers: using a well-known desktop operating system as its basis allowed the many third-party Mac developers to write software for the iPhone with minimal retraining. Jobs favored the former approach but pitted the Macintosh and iPod teams, led by Scott Forstall and Tony Fadell, respectively, against each other in an internal competition, with Forstall winning by creating iPhone OS. In 2005, when Steve Jobs began planning the iPhone, he had a choice to either "shrink the Mac, which would be an epic feat of engineering, or enlarge the iPod". The current stable version, iOS 17, was released to the public on September 18, 2023. Major versions of iOS are released annually. ![]() These mobile apps have collectively been downloaded more than 130 billion times. As of December 2023, Apple's App Store contains more than 3.8 million iOS applications. Since its launch, iOS has been extended to support other Apple devices such as the iPod Touch (September 2007) and the iPad (introduced: January 2010 availability: April 2010). It is the basis for three other operating systems made by Apple: iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS. It is the world's second-most widely installed mobile operating system, after Android. It is the operating system that powers many of the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone the term also includes the system software for iPads (predating iPadOS, which was introduced in 2019) as well as on the iPod Touch devices (which were discontinued in mid-2022). It was unveiled in January 2007 for the first-generation iPhone, launched in June 2007.Īlthough some parts of iOS are open source under the Apple Public Source License and other licenses, iOS is an Apple proprietary software. IOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system based on macOS and on components of the Mach microkernel and FreeBSD, a Unix-like operating system, developed by Apple Inc.
