"potentially" - don't worry, the fine will be .001% of the total profit for one year as is the norm for these types of trials. The lawyers will get rich, a little left over for the State, and nothing for the peons, you know, the ones actually affected by this.

Wow, ok, did not know this. Yeah, that's nasty stuff. I figured the F16 has a RAT like many other aircraft, including the A6s I used to work on. Thank you for the information. I found an NIH report of an F16 crash in Turkey back in 2016 where hydrazine was exposed to the civilian population.

Comment hazardous chemical spill? (Score 2) 211

The article makes no mention of the type of spill that occurred. I've never heard of an F16 carrying enough "hazardous" chemicals to prompt a 2 mile diameter evacuation zone. The image and video in the article shows what appears to be the crash site in a residential neighborhood and the video also makes no mention of the nature of the chemical spill. Perhaps the chemical was on the ground but then why would it be stored in a residential area? I was involved in the recovery of a crashed A6 back in 1987. Military jets crashing at high speed leave very little behind in the way of large pieces.Something is not adding up here.

Just spitballing here, but the encoding/decoding is probably needed so the image being sent can be shaped properly first. I've had a look into a few VR headsets and the optics can get pretty wild in those.The image going into them is a fish-eyed mess but the optics displays it properly. Just a hunch on my part though.

I'm glad they are having fun with it. The episode with the Klingons singing still cracks me up. The latest one as a "soap opera" was a miss in my opinion though. I hope they are not trying to create some sort of reoccurring antagonizing entity like Q was in TNG. The character Q was strange but worked well in TNG. I don't think something like that would work in SNW. Q was introduced at the very beginning of TNG (Encounter at Farpoint) so you naturally expected to see him later.
