I don't know Gates, so I can't defend him, it's just that most people here seem to instinctively hate him. Which I find weird, I mean, he is doing some good.
And if I was trying to do good with a shitload of my own money, I would like total control of where it went, not just hand it off to some foundation.
Well, is the B-52 still being produced? According to wiki it isn't. The fuselages will be pretty old by then.
The C-130 J that is now being produced, while basicly the same shape (it's longer), is also equipped with new avionics, engines, instruments and pretty much everything else, so it might not be a great example.
The question is whether they are proposing to use the same old fuselages or if they want new completely new B-52s
No but when you have a flying object that refuses to obey orders the common reaction is to launch fighter-jets.
That car chase might end up quite different than the perp had in mind
Well, Lobasomething apparently subscribes to the belief that all soldiers are mindless robots without consciences.
It should go without saying that this isn't true. There is such a thing as illegal orders, and it's every soldier's duty to not follow orders he or she believes are illegal.

I would also hope none of my colleagues are dumb enough to post "On super secret recce-mission with *name*, lol. Location: Afghanistan"
You have a point though, that facebook can be used to collect quite a lot of information, thats why its important to be aware of these issues, to keep sensitive stuff off it. And/or use a fake surname.
Well, duh.

Pieces of this Cold War tale have been known since the mid-1990s, but more complete details are now coming to light, said Titanic's discoverer, Robert Ballard.
The news isn't that someone figured it out. The news is that a big company actually utilizes it, and has the documentation and numbers that proves how effective it is.

"I believe for no reason that Israel will doom this world without cause, and that's why they are as bad as Hamas etc." FTFY
Interesting, will do.

But in the end, Gates is using some of his money to give a false impression of philanthronpy
Oh yeah, how dare he use his money to cure malaria, the false bastard
Ah, /there's/ your problem

care to elaborate? For us (me) who haven't heard the story.

So, they make an article about a flying car, but don't include a single photo of it?!

Astronomers have begun to blast 3 million cubic feet of rock
I think you'll find that the people blasting rock aren't astronomers...

if a soldier hears his superior yell "fire", he shoots, no questions asked.
As a soldier, I can only note your lack of insight in how the military works.
that could require taking the aircraft out of service for weeks at a cost of six figures or more of lost revenue per week
All aircraft are regularly grounded for days and weeks for maintenance reasons, they could just install them then...

How? If I turn off location tagging, how can I possibly be tagged at a location?
It makes it a LOT easier to keep in touch with friends, both local and friends in other countries. Its a useful tool, at least for me.

Its not a massive security risk to use facebook. It all depends on what you post there. They probably use FB for the same reasons everyone else does.

Wikileaks? Isnt that just a list on the internet?
I got the invite, and made an account, but the site is pretty buggy so its a hassle. Besides, theres even fewer of my friends on Diaspora than on G+
Heck, I use my flintlock rifle to get to work every day!
Well, duh.

Didn't you read it?
Oh, wait...
I also like to tinker with my system.

Most christians? That dear sir is untrue.
