Able Archer got a reaction from CaptainTheDark in Mac: installer can't be checked for malicious software
yeah, got it working. But it's annoying, and bypassing security features doesn't feel right.

Able Archer reacted to A Canadian Cat in A Word on Follow-on Modules
LOL the conversation goes something like this:
Product owner: "We are releasing the product in April"
What the Marketing Department and Customers hear: "We are releasing the product April 1st"
What Developers hear: "We are releasing at the end of April"

Judging by your nickname, I guess you'd prefer 1983. 😄

Able Archer got a reaction from Rice in M1 vs M60
Leopard 2 always had a 120 mm gun.
Leo 1 had 105 mm.

Able Archer reacted to Thewood1 in M1 vs M60
According to Squadron/Signal's M1 book, In final development of the XM1, 105mm L7, UK 120mm, and German 120mm were tested in a benchmark. The German gun was preferred and actually selected, but issues using the caseless ammo and some breech design issues had to be worked out. M1 production was imminent enough that the 105mm was selected, but trunnion design was set to take the German 120mm.
So it wasn't cost that was the result of the 105mm selection, it was the 120mm cannon not being ready for US operations. It took Rheinmetall anther year to work out the issues for use in the M1. I'm sure that having a lot of 105mm ammo in war stocks also had an influence. The short is that the M1 was originally designed to take the 105mm. shortcomings in the Rheinmetall gun lad to the upgrade path being chosen.

Able Archer reacted to Bil Hardenberger in Will NBC be an option?
Re: NBC:
From our Design Document (and before you ask... no, sorry I won't be sharing it):
In our mind representing NBC was a rabbit hole best stayed away from.
