Common Misconceptions about Web Designers
February 7th, 2010 admin
As a web designer, I’m proud to be a part of an Apple-loving, forward thinking, technologically advanced group of people that devour tutorials and web design blogs, hoping to create a stellar design that that gets posted in every CSS gallery out there. Yep, we’re a group of people that works hard, plays hard and strives to meet our deadlines, while learning something new along the way. We’re also a misunderstood group of people , viewed as gothic creatures that shun the daylight because we’re just tragic artists. Well, I’m here to set things straight. Here are some common misconceptions about being a web designer that just aren’t true . Web designers are a dime a dozen Yes, your mom’s friend’s brother’s neighbor may know how to use Photoshop, or …

The German Panzer & Tiger Tank...Cost: A major problem with the Tiger was that it used too many resources in terms of manpower and material. During the Second World War, over 40000 American Shermans and 58000 Soviet T-34s were produced, compared to 1347 Tiger Is and 492 Tiger IIs. The German designs were expensive in terms of time, raw materials and Reichsmarks, the Tiger I costing over twice as much as a contemporary Panzer IV and four times as much as a StuG III assault gun. The closest counterpart to the Tiger from the United States was the M26 Pershing (around 200 deployed during the war) and IS-2 from the USSR (about 3800 built during the war). Although a formidable design, the low number produced, shortages in qualified crew and the considerable fuel thirst in a context of ever shrinking resources prevented the Tigers from having any real impact on the War. Production of the Tiger I began in August 1942, and 1355 were built by August 1944 when production ceased. Production started at a rate of 25 per month and peaked in April 1944 at 104 per month. Strength peaked at 671 on 1 July 1944. Generally speaking, it took about twice as long to build a Tiger I as another German tank of the period. When the improved Tiger II began production in January 1944, the Tiger I was soon phased out. In 1943, Japan bought several specimens of German tank designs for study. A single Tiger I was apparently purchased along with one Panther and two Panzer IIIs, but only the Panzer IIIs were actually delivered. The <b>...</b>
