If it were the US, and the US is in NATO, and Finland is operating closely with NATO, wouldn’t it make sense that the US and Finland would be in communication about a possible sub in Finnish waters, to prevent a billion dollar US sub from being blowed up?

I’m sad that you didn’t spell ‘depth charges’ the way Sean Connery would shay it.

Roush is about the only tuner that does it right.

They are all pretty much the same song, but they’re all fantastic songs. I wish Aerosmith had just hung it up back then, rather than subject us to everything they’ve done, since...

The want is strong.

Yes.

Certain types of timber are really, really strong. This is the exact way they hold supertankers and carriers, too.

That is one of the most impressive pictures I’ve ever seen. It’s incredible to think that something so massive can be supported by such cribbing.

It’s actually not as difficult as you’d think. I can’t get into specifics, obviously, but basically every program in the DoD was designed to be deployed without any security, then all of a sudden, EVERYTHING needed to be secure. It took a decade, but DoD is leaps and bounds over where it was, even just a few years ago.

Any particular reason why? Ford has already shown that they want to be the leader in domestic performance cars. I very much doubt that they’re going to let Chevy get the lead for long. I’m sure the new SS and such will leapfrog the current GT’s capabilities, but how long will Ford let that last? A year? The Boss 302…

You’re assuming that no changes have been made to the data links since 2009, though. Yes, the capability exists to ‘hack’ into a data feed and/or take control of a UAV. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a lot of the systems deployed during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were deployed without appropriate controls,…

While China has made very significant advances, the biggest capability that the US has over any other country is integration. There has been a very significant increase in funding and capability, post-9/11, towards integrating data feeds, imagery, and commonizing many components (don’t think F-35) in the DoD. No other…

Everything costs money, one way, or another. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to how college is supposed to be free. I’ll wait.

You know, the funny part is that at no point in the history of mankind, have more people had education levels as high as today, yet most people, including those with degrees, can’t think critically nor use proper English. As a hiring manager, I’m appalled at the resumes that come in, and even worse, how people present…

That’s why very sophisticated data links are used, and the systems are programmed to fly pre-determined flight paths to safety, if the data link is cut or compromised.

Not necessarily. Since it’s essentially a testbed, they could fit all sorts of electronics in the avionics bays to test out any number of capabilities over time. Short spiral development, coupled with integration with the fleet via LINK and NIFC-CA, would allow for a nice test of the X-47B’s ability to share data,…

For now. Once they get them sorted on the GT350, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ford started offering them on the GT and whatever slots between the GT and GT350 (Boss 302?).

And I bet you that certain groups would buy everything they could find!

When I moved to South Carolina, my Mustang needed brakes. The car went up on jackstands in my apartment’s parking lot, and I did rotors and pads, then flushed the brake fluid. I was lucky enough to have not spilled any fluid on the ground, so they didn’t get all pissy about it (it was, at the time, a brand new, high…

Exactly what I was thinking!
