That is madness... I suppose having a rocket ship attached to your foot has it's appeal. Not to me at that price, but I'm sure it appeals to some folks.

It wasn't the runners so much as the criminal underworld that was created that was the bad guys. All the inter-crime syndicate violence (and unfortunate bystanders) was pretty horrific.

He isn't criticizing him for being republican, Ray's criticizing him for a statement about the auto industry which he believes was false. It's not inherently partisan pettiness, in fact it's rather important to the electoral process to hold these guys accountable to their statements.

Were you elected the new incarnation of old school SR20? I just hope you learn to grow up before you take someones family from them, because you decided freeway traffic was something that needed to be exciting. Of course after that manslaughter and reckless endangerment conviction the only thing you will be able to…

I don't understand it either, unless he's trying to be ironic somehow...

Woah, hold on folks, I believe that lady may have a PhD* on this subject matter.

If you are finding ways to 'enjoy' freeway traffic, you either live somewhere where there isn't actual traffic (Iowa or Wyoming?) or you are endangering people and their families everyday in your teenage pursuit of cheap thrills. Not everyone grows up, I understand.

There are few things in the gaming world as gratifying as sniping a moving helicopter pilot. Both for the irateness of the receiver and the possibility to steal the helicopter thereafter.

You'll get over it.

But he looks like such a nice lad...

The guys being pretty unreasonable. It would appear they didn't violate any terms according to ebay, and he openly admits he's expecting an unreasonable amount...

Ya gotsta start somewhere. The sooner I can sit back on the freeway and let the car deal with traffic, the better.

Paladin were that games trump card.

It is common practice in airlines. It is a redundant system that checks against the other (compensating for the variances you are talking about), alerting the pilots when they diverge too greatly. I don't understand how this couldn't have had one, and if it did, why the default mode was the GPS (external) and not the…

That is absolutely their current trump card, but it is a deterrent, nothing more. We could almost be guaranteed a joint China/western response to any actions in that Strait, and we would almost certainly act pre-emptive to them in the hopes of degrading that capacity prior to it's deployment.

I might recommend an internal gryo/intertial position system for when connections are lost...

An F-22's role in an offensive would essentially be air superiority cover to the multi-role planes and bombers. It's ground strike capabilities aren't that impressive.

Ah, touche, that's what I meant of course :P. But I can imagine one of those would displace quite a bit atoll! Must have been an odd feeling being in a boat with more offensive strike capabilities than the majority of the rest of the world.

haha, right we'd never see those Mig 15s coming otherwise!

Regardless of the treaties, it would be a huge political storm, and as a military is really just the enforcement arm of politics, it's important to remember we haven't got much power as a nation without friendly markets to send our products to.
