Iran vowed revenge... I believe it is very possible Iran was behind these recent attacks, as I said the Mossad was likely behind the deaths of the scientists. But I have no proof for any of this. It's pure conjecture. I have to admit a kind of ghoulish admiration for the methodology. The...

I wan active duty USAF when the F-117 was a deep, dark secret. We in the F-15 community had top secret clearances, yet none of us were told about the F-117, which was based out of Tonopah Test range in Nevada. We had no need to know. Secrets like special aircraft can be kept very well...

Now what on earth does this political cartoon have to do with the topic here? Just a handy American post to take a jab at? Brilliant... I hate intellectual theft. "Everyone does it" doesn't mean it is right. About 15 years ago, I used to write software. I created a suite of casino games...

This is ridiculous. The internet is an international system of cables that use TCP/IP to communicate, nothing more. If a country wanted to have "free internet", then they are free to build one. Or, like television, if you don't like a site or don't want to pay, don't go there. It is...

Both, but if I had to pick one, it'd be economy. With a hyper-economy, you can exert real power and influence, even force, in the world without ever firing a shot. And a powerful military simply cannot even exist without a strong economy, so the question is moot, in a sense. You MUST...

May I suggest that the Pakistani economy and tourism isn't the best point of emphasis. A man died doing what he loved. He knew the risks. I honor him for truly going for it, and living his life to the fullest. 99.9999% of us will never do anything 1/2 as bold as climbing K2.

The ORDER of the words is what is important, IMO... that creates the context part. If we rearrange the words into a nonsensical order, it becomes much less legible... Here is the original: S1M1L4RLY, Y0UR M1ND 15 R34D1NG 7H15 4U70M471C4LLY W17H0U7 3V3N 7H1NK1NG 4B0U7 17. Rearrange some...

I think we can all agree it is terribly sad. Bashing the dead does no one any good. And it is very true - people think "If I am rich, everything will be OK. All my troubles will go away, and I'll be happy." Not true at all. You can be a billionaire and be immensely sad and depressed...

Good job! :tup:

The Father made a powerful statement to his spoiled, ungrateful daughter. The only thing he did wrong was posting the family dirty laundry on the internet. For the daughter to post her whining was juvenile and typical. For the DAD to do it was stupid. Some (not all) American kids can be...

I missed this - been gone for a couple of days. Many thanks. :tongue: My point of view isn't always in agreement with the majority here, but I try to remain civil. And I've found that people from all around the world are pretty much the same in one regard... we're hopeful for the violence...

No, how can they? They are ultimately solar powered. The sun drives the wind, and evaporates water to make running rivers and such. When the sun burns out, all this will end. One theory has it that when entropy is complete at the end of the universe, the entire universe will be scattered...

You are absolutely correct, as is silko. These maintenance schedules are set in stone, and followed religiously, because of the safety issue. If we maintained our cars like we maintain jets, we'd check brake fluid, oil, transmission fluid, and tire pressure before EVERY trip; we'd change oil...

Very good post, and I don't disagree, but I'll be the first to jump on "discoveries" that violate thermodynamics and physics laws. They are called laws for a reason. They are inviolable. One might say "you never know", but in certain cases, we really do know. Free energy is an offshoot of...

I love it! Way to think outside the box!

Here are some unusual power sources that don't violate the laws of physics: - Wind and Tides: Wind obviously. Tides also have been done, but expensive and complex. - Ocean waves: Has been done. Expensive and difficult. - Planetary momentum: Tap into the rotational energy of the earth. A...

Here's the deal with magic carburetors and the like... A liter of gasoline has a very specific, limited, and well-known amount of chemical energy in it. Burning the gasoline completely in an oxygen environment creates heat and waste products. The heat is measured, the exact energy output has...

So the answer is yes, then...

Wow, how did "Muslim way of slaughtering" even get slightly connected with my post? Where did I even mention or insinuate "Islam" anywhere? I think I understand... I have two U.S. flags, therefore I must be some foaming anti-islamic redneck on a mission, right? FYI - slaughtered mercifully =...

Let me guess... you're one of those guys that believes when Joe Smith invents a 250 mile per gallon carburetor, assassins from the oil companies come pay him a visit. You can believe what you want, but there isn't a 17 year old in this world that can touch an advanced pHD in physics or...
