Nice. Way to show them!

Or pebble bed reactors. Or any fouth gen reactor that is passively safe and won't produce weapons grade plutonium (I'm looking at you fast neutron).
Impressive sir, very impressive.
You got a fun flight in an F-16 in college? Lucky! I've been working on them for years and have, on several occasions, been screwed out of incentive rides. Now that I work on the QF-16 Full Scale Aerial Target program (for Boeing, hence the 787 plug :-P), I'm hoping to get a ride in an F-15 while they shoot down an…
Oh, yeah? Boeing 787, my friend. I've gone faster than you while sleeping. Boyah!
This is the first time in a while that I kind of wished I had an iPhone.
This would explain why AT&T would be okay with it.
Kinda correct. They normally shoot it in 2D and reprocess it to add the third dimension. So add the price of that processing to the higher cost of equipment, and you have a shitty 3D movie that costs more. So why would I want to pay more for a movie that's going to give me a headache? Now in the case of a movie,…
It's getting to the point where I can't justify supporting their outdated models. In fact, I refuse to give them my money. The same goes with the RIAA. I will gladly pay $10+ for an album (Radiohead's "King of Limbs" for example), but I refuse to give a penny to the RIAA.
And now it's time to stop going to the movie theaters. MPAA, you have left me with no option.
Move zig.
Thursday can't come fast enough.
I love my mCPX. The initial cost is a bit high, but my confidence has shot through the roof.
I think you meant to say "seeing."
I couldn't agree with you more.
It appears that way, but the hook arm on an F-16 is solid steel. It's about three inches wide and maybe a little more than a half inch thick at the point where it appears to be rope like. When deployed, it's forced down using nitrogen at 3000 psi. The hook arm itself will flex a little bit while deployed, but it's…
The carrier hook, as you put it, is the same "drop down hook" as found on most other fighters. All arresting hooks generally work in the same manner. The hook on an F/A-18 Super Hornet is obviously stronger and more robust in general that the hook found on an F-16, for example, but the principles of how they work…
All variants have a tail hook. An F-35A landing on an airstrip with no brakes, for example, will "hit the barrier" with the hook down. It's really not an issue with the A variant as the aircraft will be weight on all wheels before deploying the hook. Once deployed, the hook is forced down with about 3000 psi of…
