The Navy sure is obsessed with electricity; what with their railguns and electric catapults.

The only girl in high school I ever asked out in high school loved the new Ford Thunderbird. Coincidentally my parents told me I could drive the new 2003 Thunderbird my dad bought for my mom to homecoming.

I don't get why he didn't just buy a smaller case than that Thermaltake behemoth instead of hacking up his scooter.

@blyan is nominal too?: That's only on the east side of the river.

@alexander_the_car_salamander: I saw one of those in black the other day and could not believe the badge on it. Styling really holds up.

@Bueller: Really? Cause it just looks huge, that and the new Sienna (different make/model/class I know), just look like bubbly messes.

Needs more cleavage.

Are you serious? I don't believe this.

@Sebulba: I could water a plant with how much my hands are sweating just watching that.

@wjbean: It actually seemed like a low figure to me. When you start looking at what military projects end up costing you begin to see the relative values. As a start, each of the 168 F-22s the US has cost $138 Million each, with the total program cost coming in at $62 billion, or $339 million per aircraft. Now…

@InfidelAl: Cruise missiles come in at over $600,000/per. Some smart bombs cost over $1,000,000 each. Those are just what I know of the top of my head. I don't know what the volume our armed forces use, but I'd say there's some potential for cost savings when you are basically using a metal rod.

Do people realize 100 miles in 6 minutes is 1000mph? Cruise missiles fly at about half that speed. Plus, how are you going to know you have been fired on from 100 miles away? Not like you are going to see this projectile on radar either, it's just too small. Basically its a one shot weapon. One hit below the…

@snootpelt: Most of our heavy and high tech munitions and weapons are still made in America, its one of the last heavy manufacturing industries we have left. I am willing to bet most of the parts are actually made in America for something this powerful. Even the specifications are probably secret, which is why we get…

Why this wasn't the case before is so mind boggling to me.

@milrtime83: Well then maybe just a simplicity advantage. But, I heard from one of my genius friends that it is better to go first. Don't know the statistics, reasoning, logic, or whatever behind it.

Man from the look of this graphic X has a huge advantage.

Chipper voice starts in, "THERE ARE SMARTER WAYS TO HAVE FUN." Words display on screen, "Harrah's Casino"

@taniquetil: Exactly. Add to that, most of the events that will happen because of these leaks are going to be under the same type of secrecy as the original documents leaked. The reason we can't give evidence that this has endangered lives is the same reason under the table deals need to happen in order for the…
