On my laptops the fans will blow under full load in all three OSes I'm running (Win 7/10.6/Ubuntu 10.10) and on moderate to light load they won't blow at all.
The problem I see is that the US Government contracts with companies that didn't traditionally do IT, but added it because they had a history with the Government. You know, like Northrup Grumman, because when I think on-time, on-budget I think defense contractors.
I have arthritis in my right hand (thanks to chemo) and in the last six months or so I found that all my Logitech mouse hurt my hand. My fiancée said "we need to get a mouse that doesn't hurt your hand so we can game."
I picked out the R.A.T. 7, bought it off Amazon and so far it's been a really good mouse. I switched out the palm and pinkie rests, adjusted the size and use it about 6-12 hours a day.
I really like the long bradded USB cable, they got the details down.
Maneuverability is the key right now in fighter design because from a design standpoint we are focused on ACM.
Take the Mach 6 fighter, what you'd do with it is on the outbreak of hostilities you'd use it to ARM and SDB the living crap out of your enemy's air defense network and then bomb the crap out of the enemy's airfields and C3 so that by the time the Mach 1-2 and subsonic planes get there theres nothing left that threatens them.
With speed and good missiles theres no need to dogfight. Yea, I know I'm using the 1955 to 1967 USAF/USN playbook there, but when you have missiles that hit and kill 70-90% of the time rather than 10-15% its actually a viable plan.
Look at the game plan for F-22, Typhoon and Rafale. Datalinks coupled with awesome radars and BVR missiles so you can kill the enemy before he can even get a radar return.
Old and advanced civilization that's spread to the entire solar system which is living on the bones of the more advanced civilizations that came before it.
I think it'll happen, we seem to be on the verge of a hypersonic and orbital spaceflight break through.
But it feels like technology adoption is slower now, we aren't going to thrown away 737s and 787s for hypersonic like we dumped DC-4s when jets came long.
Jet speeds have been stagnant for about 50 years, reliability and fuel efficiency have gotten better, but speed hasn't.
Hell, military aircraft top speeds are falling off. The Mach 2.5-3+ aircraft like SR-71, MiG-25, MiG-31, XB-70 just aren't being built anymore.
Do you really see Mach 5-6+ aircraft being the military norm by 2050-60? I don't see it, F-22, F-35, Typhoon are going to be where the F-15 is now.
Likewise, theres nothing to suggest civilian aircraft are going to be supersonic by 2050. That's just a doubling, nothing points to military aircraft being orbital or suborbital and Mach 25 by 2050-60

Iran has been threatening Israel since 1979 and has been attacking Israel and Israelis since 1982. Hell Hezbollah is backed, funded and armed by Iran.
I caught one of Hezbollah's gifts to Israel in 1994 when a 122mm rocket exploded in the north of Israel, so I'm really getting a kick out of your trying to paint everything as Israel's fault.
Who has "motivation, capability and demonstrated willingness", US, EU and Israel as state actors.
Russian Jews/Russian Mafia, Saudi/UAE/Qatar outsourcing for the technology to Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistanis or the PRC (Saudi Arabia has a long history of high end weapons purchases from the PRC, perhaps including some atomic warheads).
But, of course Israel did it, and you don't need crazy cracker crumb clues.
The Battle of Seattle did nothing to slow down the WTO, the mass protests against the Gulf War did nothing at all. Mass protests against WTO, G8, etc do nothing but damage some property, get people arrested and hurt and get overtime for security forces.

For "eye candy" on OS X, there really isn't much to turn off.
Umm, you can hide the Dock, thats about it. It doesn't try and do as much flashy stuff as Aero does.
Right now with a browser open and all the "eye candy" on that is default on 10.6, I'm running at .9% load.
Win 7 basic install with Aero turned off, 11% load

Thats on a MBP Core2Duo and an Asus with i7
Better IBM or Google than someone like Northrup Grumman dropping the ball over and over.
How does an i7 desktop running Linux use less power than an i7 running OS X or Windows 7?
My MacBook Pro gets worse battery life in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 than it does in Snow Leopard.

The R.A.T. 7 and 9 at least have removable weights.
My 7 is lighter than either of the wireless Logitechs I have.

F-15, FB-111, MiG-25, MiG-31 are Mach 2.5+ aircraft which were not reconnaissance. XB-70 was a Mach 3+ bomber that reached the advanced testing phase.
F-22 is not (openly) a Mach 2.5 aircraft so it's not as fast as the aircraft it's replacing.
It has nothing to do with reconnaissance satellites.

I'm going to mainly look at US missile since I don't have the time to look at everyone's
A/A missile ranges have fallen off. Look at AIM-54 v AIM-120
S/A
MIM-14 - 90 mile range, MIM-104 PAC 2- 45-90 mile range
A/S
Cruise missiles are all in the 750km to 2000km range no matter who makes them (US/Russia/China/EU)
But look at HARM - 100km replaced AGM-78 Standard which had a 90km range.
JDAM and SDB are giving better stand off ranges, and guidance is much better, but the ranges and speeds of missile aren't increasing either.
Its a good book too.

During the age of sail, a ship could travel 12-20 miles per hour easily and do that all day long.
A horse with a rider can travel 30-50 miles a day with proper water and feed, a camel can do 40-60
The future is going to be like Against a Dark Background, we'll be going through the piles of debris looking for exotic metals.
That or we go to the asteroids and mine them.
Both of which increase faction reputation

There are Arab Israelis, I went drinking with a bunch of Christian Arabs in Jerusalem one night.
