The plane on the bottom of the left edge looks to be a B-57. NASA is still flying two WB-57Fs (which were re-manufactured from RB-57Ds built in the early 50s) in support of military operations. Wired article about them. Cool plane.three of these are still in service from this 1957 pic. can you name them?
I need to meet this chick...
"All these media outlets are taking their information directly from the July 12 Daily Mail story. The problem is that this storyand its quite a whopperis over two years old. It first appeared in April 2009 in The Moscow Times, which even questions if its real, noting that Life.ru, which originally posted the police complaint, has been setting the bar high for sensationalist scoops. The Moscow Times then links to the complaint on Life.ru, but that link is now dead. Life.ru is now Lifenews.ru, and since its in Russian, I had my Russian-speaking friend do a search for the complaint, which was supposedly on the site. No dice."

Small world. I actually met one of the guys you're talking about. He owned a home on top of Little Pisgah Mountain here in NC in the late 90's. Last name was Brown. Any chance it was your grandfather?True story: My Dad and his team (3 total, he was mgr) designed the first constellation of GPS satellites to go into orbit.
True story 2: For my Dad's senior thesis, he took a series of LED bulbs (circa 1975) and put them into a 10x100 matrix. He then wrote code so that he could enter text and have the text scroll across. He saw tem for sale about a year later and pulled the patent. It was under his thesis Professor's name.
tl;dr - My Dad invented the scrolling LED light board and his professor stole the idea, patented it, and sold a ton of them.
sounds like your dad is a b!tch for not curb stomping that professorTrue story: My Dad and his team (3 total, he was mgr) designed the first constellation of GPS satellites to go into orbit.

My dad used to have his name stenciled on the side of one of these things.
Mine took me camping, diving, fishing. Took me motorcycling on ATVs and XR 75's. Also, BMXing in the late 70's. Now will run shuttles for me and ocassionally make a run for himself for himself. He's doing just fine.
He admits at this point that he didn't know any better, nor how to handle it. Bummer right?
Yeah. He is wicked smart. He's one of those outlier guys that is so smart it's painful for everybody around. He also has no small amount of Asperger's Syndrome. He just absorbs numbers and everything around them. That being said, he was so socially obtuse that he didn't have any friends while I was growing up.
I believe the scientific description is "Engineer".
i was taught at a young age to value my own IP.
That makes me hungry.I prefer grilled. Fried food sucks.
I thought all inventions / patents while under the university umbrella were property of the university.
thats why you pull them by the hair and not the feet
