I think the main point of the article is that when it comes to military procurement the US tends to go for top of the line with all the technological bells and whistles which dramatically adds to he cost. Take the F-35 they really should have just the A and C variants which would have dramatically reduce the program…

Article 9 was forced on the Japanese after WWII and the fact is it is maybe something that is not necessary any longer. With China as a growing military power Japan needs to be able to defend themselves and that means growing their military. Its a delicate issue bu I suspect that Article 9 will be dropped at some…

I have been watching wrestling for a long time and Ray Mysterio Jr is a complete pro and does not intentionally injure the people he world with. If he did he would have been bounced out of the business years ago. This was clearly an accident in a business were unfortunately from time to time horrible accidents…

Nice to see the game will be getting some early PC love. Now I can only home that the game controls will not just be the usual let down that many PC versions of games have.

I just think EA still has enough of a gamer inside itself to realize good games when they see them but when they take over a studio they import their corporate culture which over time kills the very thing they sought to acquire in the first place.

EA is where good titles go to die. Sure they get lucky at times but from everything I have read and scene the interference of the suits always conflicts with the creative people resulting in metric driven game designs and Simcity is just the latest result.

I understand the initial concept of the F-35 was to have a similar platform used by the air force, navy and the marines to simplify logistics and allow for standardized munitions. The fact that the F-35 B platform does not allow for some of the munition to be used seems like a major problem but at this point they are…

Not to delve into science fiction too much but the way the technology is developing I wonder if it will be scaled up to anti satellite operations or even as a launcher for nuclear weapons. A basaltic projectile instead of a Basaltic Missile. Very Metal Gear like.

The way I look at it is the practical realities of close air support right now is that there is no need for an all up wiz bang technological marvel when there is a proven and reliable platform already available. The drive to get the Warthog shelved is clearly at the behest of the big defense contractors that want the…

The problem with WWE is that they are still locked into the idea that a guy needs the 'Push' from the company to become a star. As a long time wrestling observer there have been a few guys over they years that manage to build themselves up in the eyes of the fans but because they are not Vince McMahon handpicked guys…

I think part of the problem is in wrestling may of the wrestlers take on an in ring persona. Added to that is the suspension of disbelief to even be able to enjoy the product. Problem is Chris Benoit used his own name and not a stage name and wrestling fans are fiercely loyal to those they support and that does not…

I think the attitude of the Air Force toward the A-10 is that the plang seems to be more geared toward ground assault and and ground support and not the sexy stealth, first shot first kill the Air Force seems to go for in their fighter jets. The jet is like a Marine in Air Force colors and probably rubs Air Force…

This is OK but I expect Burns to bounce back richer than ever.

Not knowing what the show has planed I am willing to wait before declaring judgement. I am trying to be positive her and was wondering is it possible that to those in the other realms that only allow females to inherit if their are no male siblings may consider Trystane to be the heir.. I think its BS myself that…

I loved the previous Sim City games. They are some of my favorite gaming experiences. When this new version was annoynced I was excited and early screen shots and demo videos really captured my attention. It was not till I found out the game required an always online connection and I say the small size of the maps…

Harley is a somewhat mentally fragile character with a disturbing past so her commiting suicide is not outside the realm of possibilities. However this could have been done much better by simply saying Harley is thinking about ending her life give us some ideas. Instead they included her being naked in the tub. Its…

DC really made a huge PR mess for themselves when they initially responded to this. True many of the people pumping gasoline in the issue do not even read comics but are pushing a political agenda. DC could have saved themselves some trouble by simply saying that right now they are still just 2 years into their…

Perhaps not in my lifetime but if the population continues to grow at its current rate than we are going to have to institute universal (planet wide) population controls. The simple fact is there is a finite amount of resources and while it is not time to panic yet we should begin to consider some options. I agree…
