It was in the 80's: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_v39/ai_5114777
TOSHIBA MACHINE Company sold propeller machines to the Soviet Union for two years (1982 to 1984), allowing the Russians to build super-quiet, nearly undetectable submarines. Experts say the U.S. will now have to shell out $40 billion to upgrade its own submarines to a state of noiselessness that will maintain the prior American advantage. In addition, Toshiba lied about the sale so as not to alert the Japanese government.
Secondly, Obama is not black, in the American sense of the term. In the USA, "black" refers to the subset of Americans who descended from slaves and share cultural roots. American citizens who have African ancestry but do not come from this slavery-originated black culture are properly referred to as "African-American." This is utter nonsense. Ever heard of "one drop of blood"?
In the political theater that America is, do you think either candidate can possibly win? The U.S. is extremely conservative and neither colored person nor a woman has any chance. Democrats are doomed.
Let's split hairs here. Names ending with -evich are not traditional proper Russian names. Most likely his ethnicity is Byelorussian. There is a difference - look up the Belarus. Ironically, that country president's name: Lukashenko is not Byelarussian but Ukrainian. Generally, in modern Russia what is considered "Russian" is often an intermix of many nationalities that populated the Empire. Just like anywhere, those truly Russian are the ones who consider themselves Russian.

Yeah, by "progressive" you mean the TAX, right. Maryland is the crappiest tax fscking hell. BTW Lincoln was a tyrant.

Sony is so irrelevant. They were a leader in TV sets for many years with the Excellent Trinitron(tm) line. But advances in display technology left them hopelessly behind. Move along, nothing to see here.
Maybe US should go back to the original as defined by Jefferson? 14 years copyright upon registration with the Library of Congress(mandatory) and 14 year extension if copyright owner is still interested in keeping copyright nad willing to pay a fee. It was like this until 1920's I believe.
When they show WHITE crime victims in mass media stupid liberals complain that it's racist because they are white and not enough blacks shown. Now when it's majority black we hear complaints of racism. Mind you, racism is alive and well in America. As a matter of fact America will cease to be the USA if(if ever) there is no racism.
That's kind of deal I got last year - buying XP PC with free Vista upgrade. HP delivered on its promise, alas Vista did not work out for me it's still unregeistred, and I always boot to XP.
Well, I was in Kiev(65 miles from Chernobyl) at the time. My father was in the civil defense at his factory, so he measured radiation levels in the beginning of May, 1986. The levels were about 2-5 times above normal. Higher levels were registered near pools of water. All in all it was no big deal, the main danger was radioactive Cesium and Strontium absorption in the body. This was counteracted by Iodine supplements given mainly to children.
Granted, Kiev(a city of 2.8 mln people) was spared by the North-Western winds during the critical period of first 3 days after the event.
I remember that my father had one of those personal dosimeters, he left it at home with us. I though it was broken because it was steadily showing "0" on the scale. My dad said:"If this thing starts showing anything we should all run like hell."
Just as a precaution children were sent out of the city starting in May and through the summer of '86.

Why not just equip every person with those high tech ear muffs that would filter copyrighted content?!
Keep dreamin'!
Why do we never hear mention of Obama's middle name in the media? Imagine that a person with "Hussein" in him name could be a president?

I wonder how this will affect the Litvinenko case? Just the same pile of bullshit unfounded accusations against Kremlin!

They are absolutely correct. Every Indian and Chinaman getting his own car will be disastrous for the environment.

Isn't this the principle behind the Lie Detector. That was patented many years ago.

Exactly! Like 80% of his fellow Ukrainians he speaks Russian. But written commercials are in Ukrainian.

There were no nerve agents used during WWI as far as I know. They only used irritants - chlorine, mustard etc.
Mod parent off topic. What does golf have to do with being smart?
Is it me, or is it funny how Asus gets free publicity for screwing up.

Exactly, Democratic party always hurts ALL of society rich and poor.
