Google Maps Shows Chinese Nuclear Sub Prototype
mytrip writes "An image of what could be one of China's new nuclear ballistic missile submarines is available on the Google Maps and Google Earth satellite-image site, a defense blogger claimed Tuesday. The satellite picture was discovered by Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, and announced Tuesday on his blog. Kristensen believes the picture, taken by the Quickbird satellite late last year, reveals China's new Jin-class, or Type 094, nuclear ballistic missile sub. The new sub class is approximately 35 feet longer than its predecessor, the Xia-class, also known as Type 092, according to two images Kristensen compares on the blog. The Jin-class sub has an extended midsection that houses 12 missile tubes and part of the reactor compartment, Kristensen explains."
But they travel faster than the speed of sound IN WATER. Hence, supersonic. Read the article before you start blathering about things you don't know about.
My blog. Good stuff (when I remember to update it). Read it.
Just like the million man march, only there'd actually be a million men there. (I enjoyed my karma while it lasted.)
"Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right" - Salvor Hardin
that was never in doubt
do you think that means it's ok for him to be beaten like he was on videotape?
by your words, i think you do believe that
fine, next time i go outside and smell someone smoking, i'll punch them in the face. yes, smoking is obnoxious, but does that give me the right to punch them in the face?
according to you it does
you have a serious problem. you see punishment worse than the actual crime as being ok. no. in any civilized society, the punishment is never worse than the crime. otherwise, it isn't justice, it's revenge
furthermore, rodney king was punished by those who are supposed to be enforcing the law. you know, bring him to jail and to court. rather than also serving as trial, judge, and executioner. that's ok to you? the judgment of a beat cop is superior to a court of law?
look in the mirror: you're the perfect member of a fascist state. the way you think about rodney king's crimes, excusing a worse crime at the hands of the govt officials than what rodney king did, means you think like a thug
luckily, the standard of justice in the usa is not according to you. sure, plenty of dickwads like you try to make thuggery the standard of justice here, but luckily we've mainly held the likes you off so far, although we've lost gournd under bush. we'll make up the lost ground after 2008
my advice to you is to move to a tribal area of afghanistan, where sharia law is still enforced. you know: cut off a hand for stealing, death penalty for prostitution, etc.
where your kind of brutish thuggery is called law
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
i am a radical anti-gun nut. i think the 2nd amendment should be repealed. there is no place in civil society for assholes walking around with guns
of course, the mythology of those who believe in the 2nd amendment is that they are saving us from a fascist government
ha!
armed thugs are in fact fodder for any sort of fascist group that would ever threaten the government. fascists love guns. it's the first thing they go for, because the will to power that is the psychological root of fascist thinking is all about controlling your world through physical force. ie, the gun. rather than writing, thought and speech, the first instinct of the level headed citizen of a democracy
this "oh my god we need guns to protect us from the fascists!" is just the sort of hysterical hyberbole of paranoid retards that i abhor
the truth:
when your society is threatened by a policy or law that is not the opinion of the general populace, the civilian's response is to challenge it through democratic change. the fascist's response is to reach for guns and bombs
in other words, the second amendment is a friend of fascism, not an enemy of it

it always was more fun working the slashdot crowd though. larger audience
i got a good mod war going on now with my comments here. some kind souls modding me up, the usual knee jerk wackjobs modding me down. for the horrible crime of course of insulting their retarded mindless mythology that lost any vague relevance to reality about 25 years ago
fucking paranoid lowest common denominator retards. i burn at you to the bitter end
let the rhetorical bloodsport flow! asbestos suit on! to war! where's my flamethrower! bring it on biased unthinking wackjobs!
