Stealth Helicopters: I Smell Skunk Works

Mh_60_binladenraid

This is a MH-60 helicopter that will be recognized by US military personnel familiar with the aircraft.
Note the tail rotor.


Tailrotor_binladenraid

This is the partial wreckage of the helicopter used in the Bin Laden Raid. This is the tail rotor of the unknown helicopter ditched during the raid. The proposition that this section of the wreckage can belong to a highly modified MH-60 like the one above is remote. Somewhere in a Skunkworks hangar in the Nevada desert sits a number of these stealth helicopters. The fact that Pakistani Air Defense was not alerted until after they ditched this helicopter speaks of its capabilities.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.
