OK.

In sci.physics Arny Krueger said:As I've shown, many air defense sites had heavily-used public roads running
right through them!
Mickey530 said:The US Air Force's air traffic control school was and (assuming they
cleaned up after Katrina) is at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, Mississipi. As
was the radar technician school. I was an Air Traffic Controller in
the Air Force from 1975-1982.
At no time did we use "live" radar. It was all simulation. Control
tower training (as opposed to radar training) consisted of students
holding toy airplanes in position as instructed over a ping-pong type
table which had been painted to resemble an airport. Some guys got
pretty good at imitating a cessna's engine noise. ; -)
Further, in both the Air Force and FAA, radar failures were and are
still common.
That was one of the major issues that caused the
controller strike in 1982. We had to then convert to non radar
procedures. which consisted of, among other things, increasing
spacing and having the pilots report "fixes". Airports do not close
because of these failures. Non-Instrument rated pilots do not as a
rule use the ATC system except for radar advisories and controllers
provide this service to VFR pilots on a time permitting basis.
The
exception is the airspace near large airports and certain other high
traffic areas.
Actually, there's a site (in German) that describes someone's theory as toSpob said:Sitting at a gas station as some backwards baseball cap and saggass
britches wearing kid parks in the fire zone in front of the store with
some fukdamuhfukinniggahbeyotch crap blasting out of his truck for
everyone's entertainment, got me to thinking.
Would it be possible to build a gizmo that could be surreptitiously
aimed at the offending stereo system to fry some crucial components?
It would have to be able to do it on a pretty localized basis without
causing damage to the person aiming the gizmo or innocent bystanders
or their car's electronics. Whether it would fry any additional
components of said target punk's car isn't of great concern.

Just wonderin'.
Since Nike sites in the US were normally deployed around
major cities, it would have been rather hard to place one
far from public areas.
The Union Lake, Michigan site was surrounded by a Little
League ball field, a public golf course, and housing
developments.
If we had had to fire, the boosters would have come down
in a housing tract, but better a Nike booster through
your roof than a Soviet nuclear device.
Actually, there's a site (in German) that describes
someone's theory as to how that might be done:

John Larkin said:I'd like to have a short-range imaging radar, sort of like my Flir
handheld thermal imager, as a sort of super stud finder.
Imagine a pc board covered with etched patch antennas, one or more
step-recovery-diode impulse generators, and a lot of sampling
receivers. Run it at several MHz, do a lot of averaging and signal
processing, and reconstruct the image. Maybe use Wii type
accelerometers so as the array is moved around, additional signal
paths can be crunched in to enhance resolution without blurring. The
microwave side of the hardware would be dirt cheap, and the signal
processing would have a high engineering cost but would also be cheap
in production.
Take a look at McEwan's patents for an idea of how the hardware would
work. He was mostly looking at stuff like auto collision detection,
1-dimensional ranging, but imaging is quite feasible if you dump
enough DSP onto the problem.
Firemen could use this for smoke penetration, or cops could spot bad
guys in the next room, and I could spot cats under beds without having
to crawl around on the floor.

Hold up a $100 bill and call something unintelligible to
the driver at a level just below the music volume. You'll
experience and immediate reduction in the volume of the
music.
Where does it say, "then give them the bill after the volume
is turned down".
Maybe top posting is a function of being able to keep track
of whats going on

And top-posting is wrong too.
So is not trimming as you did, dipshit.What, it's not bad enough they're going around disturbing

Maybe top posting is a function of being able to keep track of whats
going on and less then having any respondent follow "net rules"
So is not trimming as you did, dipshit.
He doesn't pay ANYTHING, idiot. One holds up the $100 bill because
that will ALWAYS get the attention of an inconsiderate retard with his
boom boom car blasting out "I'm a drug dealer". You get the stereo
turned down, then walk away laughing.
off codes for all the manufacturers and models serially?
