"Homicide bomber" has an air of civility to it. "Suicide bomber" has that tinge of psychotic that the news media doesn't like.

Pretty sweet vid. That type of view is typical of what you'd get in any modern (i.e. post ~1970) fighter plane and most trainers too, even some kit planes have views that rival that. It's addictive, honestly. Ever wonder why many pilots continue flying recreationally well into their 60's and 70's if they have the…

That's very likely that the aggressor was flying against them, though you don't have to have an aggressor to fly some BFM. I was in Charleston, (IIRC; it was several years ago, and could easily have been Meridian or somewhere else) stopping over for gas on an out-and-back and three Super Hornets (in standard paint)…

Wasn't it Gen John P. Jumper who said that all flashy videos aside, the mission of the US Air Force is to kick ass and take names?

Hmmm, Super-secret drone in a high school gym and not a military hangar for that video clip; wouldn't it be awesome for their propaganda machine if we bombed a plaster model of the RQ-170 at a school gym where a bunch of orphans were in the room next door.

It meets or exceeds the recommended daily allowance for copper, iron, and stealth, and is a part of a healthy breakfast.

It will suck in the entire Baltimore Harbor, as long as they took their notes from Doc Oc in the Spiderman movie.

It's a great solution, but not perfect.

So, I'm just throwing this out there, but a little thermite filled wing spars, maybe some thermite in the main computer and sensor systems, you know, a little extra weight never hurt a top secret stealth RPA...

How many Chinese Yuan would you like for that? I could throw in a nuclear reactor or three if that would make the deal better...

lol, thanks! Your input is greatly appreciated, but there's still an issue when there's that many teen pregnancies!

If a water pipe breaks, are they going to hand out sponges to an army of volunteers and call that a solution? No, they turn off the water at the main and fix the pipe.

Or how about responsible parents concerned for the welfare of their daughter? When I have daughters, I'll always be cleaning my guns when their boyfriends come to pick them up. Probably a bit more effective (and preventative) than a pill.

What I got from this is "retroactive measures after conception will lower our teen pregnancy rate."

Oh I just love it when people mix those up thinking the capitalization isn't important, but it's even more frustrating when someone tries to come in and say "oh, are you talking about Gigabytes, Gigabits, or Gibibytes?"

Thank you Mr. Vulcan er, I mean Vulcaex. (no offense intended, but that's what I first read your name as...) My college professors would probably cry if I actually forgot about logic gates, we actually had to take those tests with paper and pencil! Essay style, i.e. draw this circuit, not merely select (guess) the…

Yeah, that's very true. In that sense, Moore's Law is more about approaching the technological singularity.

I know for the last 3 decades or something, we've been 'only 10 years away from the limit of Moore's Law,' but some smart folks apparently think we've got 600 years, according to the Wiki entry on Moore's Law.

Just looking at that chip makes my head spin, remembering all the prereq/into to CompEngr classes I took years ago and wondering how they've whittled everything down to that size. (nanolithography or similar/better/newer techniques, obviously, but still...)

If you have to ask...
