"Just A Job To Do"
It's no use saying that it's alright, it's alright.
But where were you after midnight, midnight.
Heard a Bang, Bang, Bang; Down they go
It's just a job you do
Cos the harder they run, and the harder they fall.
I'm coming down hard on you.
Now no-one saw what you looked like, what you looked like
Like a stranger you came out of the night, out of the night
Cos someone put the word on you, and I hope my aim is true.
Cos I got a name, and I got a number, I gotta line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I'm coming after you
Don't keep saying that it's alright, it's alright,
It seems you went just a little too far this time
Heard a Bang Bang Bang, and down you go,
It's just a job I do,
Cos the harder you run the harder you fall,
I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you - I hope my aim is true.
I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, and I'm coming after you
Keep running, Keep running; city to city
Even if you're innocent,
You can cause too much embarrassment
And though your heart is breaking,
And you know there's no mistaking.
Cos you feel your life line breaking (keep running, keep running)
You can feel your hands are shaking (keep running, keep running)
And no-one answers the telephone
You can never never ever go home alone
and though your heart is aching
and you know there's no mistaking.
The footsteps close behind.
Now don't pretend that you sleep at night, but sleep tight
And can't you feel that the time is right, it's alright.
Heard a Bang Bang Bang, and down you go
Oh no-one really cares
Cos the harder you run, and the harder you fall.
I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you - I'm hoping that my aim is true.
I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I'm coming after you
I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I got a job to do.

"I Can't Drive 55"
One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again

'Then, going up a broad staircase, we came to what may once have been a gallery of technical chemistry. And here I had not a little hope of useful discoveries. Except at one end where the roof had collapsed, this gallery was well preserved. I went eagerly to every unbroken case. And at last, in one of the really air-tight cases, I found a box of matches. Very eagerly I tried them. They were perfectly good. They were not even damp. I turned to Weena. "Dance," I cried to her in her own tongue. For now I had a weapon indeed against the horrible creatures we feared. And so, in that derelict museum, upon the thick soft carpeting of dust, to Weena's huge delight, I solemnly performed a kind of composite dance, whistling The Land of the Leal as cheerfully as I could. In part it was a modest cancan, in part a step dance, in part a skirt-dance (so far as my tail-coat permitted), and in part original. For I am naturally inventive, as you know.

This connection to Battlestar Galactica reminds me of a time back in '99 when I told my mentor that I had gotten up early that morning because the SciFi channel was playing reruns of the original series. It was right around then, maybe a little later, that she said something about doing something so that her son wouldn't grow up to be like me. I wondered what the hell she meant by that.
BSG also shares a familar characteristic with the MK152 computer Tactical program, although I haven't discussed that with anyone. It was just a trivial feature though, to indicate that the tac program was running. I easily wrote my own routine in octal that performed the same function. I suspect the original programmers actually put that feature in the program, because they needed a visual indicator and that they were fans of the original BSG.

First-Hand:Legacy of NTDS - Chapter 9 of the Story of the Naval Tactical Data System
By David L.Boslaugh, Capt. USN, Retired
Digital Revolution in the Fleet
Spread of NTDS in the Fleet
Digitizing the Surface Missile System Computers
Digitizing Talos
Mr. Andrew Sheetz, a Talos servomechanisms engineer, in APLís Fleet Systems Department soon had the task in his hands. Other than he knew that digital computers existed, and that they needed a program, Sheetz confessed he knew nothing of digital computers. He went to APLís small group of computer programmers to learn what he could about the new machines, how they worked, and how programs were written. He drew diagrams of all the parallel elements in the fire control computations and how they worked together. It became apparent to him that some kind of direct digital simulation of the analog processes was going to be cumbersome and wasteful of computing resources. He realized he must start with the computer inputs and the the required end results and devise new ways of computing the solution After a few days of conceptualizing and calculating he satisfied himself that a digital computer with even less computing power than the NTDS unit computer could compute the fire control solution in real time.
Sheetz next worked out a general schematic of a digital computer, the required A/D and D/A converters, their conversion accuracy, and other peripheral equipment he would need. There were no A/D or D/A converters on the market in 1962, and Sheetz realized he would have to get the converters designed and built in-house at the Applied Physics Laboratory. To this point, the task had been a one-man effort until Sheetz brought in the APL Electronics Devices Design Group to take on the converters, and engineer Roger Higgins was assigned to design the converters. For the digital to analog converters, Higgins used large numbers of fast electromechanical relays in ladder arrangements. Sheetz noted that when the relays were tested with the digital computer they made a sound like thousands of unsynchronized ticking clocks. He found he could tell if they working OK by their sound. For the analog to digital converters Higgins designed new electronic circuits. These were so new that he obtained patents on many of them.
Sheetz used a commercial non-militarized digital computer to test his concept, and by early 1963 he had the computer running with the converters and simulated Talos system components, and he was able to come up with a realistic estimate of the processing power needed in a militarized shipboard computer. He selected the Univac-developed militarized 1218 machine having 32,000 18-bit memory words with four microsecond cycle time for his next round of tests which would be at the Mare Island Naval Schools Command. The school had a Talos fire control system complete with fire control radar and simulated launching system, and it was conveniently close to the BUSHIPS Weapons Direction System Mark 11 test site run by Lcdr. Jim Radja. With help from Radjaís team and APL engineer Jim Schneider, Sheetz had his equipment operating with the Talos radar and launching system simulator by early 1964. Testing lasted until the end of 1964 when the system was ready for disassembly and moving to a test ship: the heavy cruiser Albany.
Further testing aboard Albany with live missile shoots revealed that the 1218 computer (now designated CP-789) was stressed to the ragged edge of its performance, and the Bureau of Naval Weapons decided to upgrade to the newer Univac 1219 computer (designated CP-848), having twice the memory and twice the speed of the 1218. BUWEPS also designated the new computer with converters and peripherals as the Guided Missile Fire Control Computer Mark 152.

RIM-66 / RIM-67 Standard Missile
The Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) is the Navy s primary surface-to-air fleet defense weapon. The currently deployed SM-2 Block II/III/IIIA configurations are all-weather, ship-launched medium-range fleet air defense missiles derived from the SM-1 (RIM-GGB), which is still in the fleet. SM-2 employs an electronic countermeasures-resistant monopulse receiver for semi-active radar terminal guidance and inertial midcourse guidance capable of receiving midcourse command updates from the shipboard fire control system. SM-2 is launched from the Mk 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) and the Mk 26 Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS). SM-2 continues to evolve to counter expanding threat capabilities, and improvements in advanced high and low-altitude threat interception, particularly in stressing electronic countermeasures (ECM) environments, are being implemented through modular changes to the missile sections.
The Standard Missile was produced in two major types, the SM-1 MR/SM-2 (medium range) and the SM-2 (extended range). It is one of the most reliable in the Navy's inventory. Used against missiles, aircraft and ships, it first came into the fleet more than a decade ago. It replaced Terrier and Tartar missiles and is part of the weapons suit of more than 100 Navy ships.
The SM-2 is a solid propellant-fueled, tail-controlled, surface to air missile fired by surface ships. Designed to counter high-speed, high-altitude anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) in an advanced ECM environment, its primary mode of target engagement uses mid-course guidance with radar illumination of the target by the ship for missile homing during the terminal phase.

By 1963 Univac saw a market for an upgraded version of the 1218 computer having twice the speed and twice the memory capacity of their 1218. Their new 1219 used the same 18-bit instruction set architecture as the 1218. Among other uses the USN employed the 1219 when they converted their analog fire control computers to digital in the Talos. Tartar, and Terrier surface missile systems.

RIM-67 Standard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RIM-67 Standard ER (SM-1ER/SM-2ER) is an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) and anti ship missile originally developed for the United States Navy (USN). The RIM-67 was developed as a replacement for the RIM-8 Talos, a 1950s system deployed on a variety of USN ships, and eventually replaced the RIM-2 Terrier as well since it was of a similar size and fit existing Terrier launchers and magazines. The RIM-66 Standard MR was essentially the same missile without the booster stage, designed to replace the RIM-24 Tartar. The RIM-66/67 series thus became the US Navy's universal SAM system, hence "Standard Missile."
RIM-67 and RIM-156 SM-2 Extended Range
The second generation of Standard missile, the Standard Missile 2, was developed for the Aegis combat system, and New Threat Upgrade program that was planned for existing Terrier and Tartar ships. USS Mahan (DDG-42) served as the test platform for the development of the CG/SM-2 (ER) missile program project. The principal change over the Standard missile 1 is the introduction of inertial guidance for each phase of the missile's flight except the terminal phase where semi-active homing was retained. This design change was made so that missiles could time share illumination radars
Warhead Proximity fuse, high explosive 137 lb (62 kg) continuous rod, later blast fragmentation
Engine Two-stage, solid-fuel rocket; sustainer motor and booster motor
Operational range 65–100 nmi

Distance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Distance, or farness, is a numerical description of how far apart colored objects are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length, or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance. A metric is a function that behaves according to a specific set of rules, and is a concrete way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other. In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance between B and A".
