The B-52 completed fifty years of continuous service... it is expected to serve into the 2040s.
At least they must be doing something right.
It's because there's no need for a new heavy bomber airframe, there realistically hasn't been since the 50's because heavy bombers don't really have a role since the invention of surface to air missiles. They've gone the way of the battleship which is why most air forces have retired them. The US military is notoriously slow to change.
If your Suppression of Enemy Air Defences works you open up the skies for untold numbers of heavy bombers. Better sending a couple of those than a fleet of F-35/22/15 or whatever.
Macro-evolution, e.g. one kind of animal changing into another hasn't been demonstrated and can't be tested. But micro-evolution (i.e. change within a species) has clearly been shown to happen. The latter is science, the former is religion.

Click on that link and point out the spot where blue becomes red. That's your so called 'macro' evolution. You can't point out the exact spot where one becomes the other but there is no doubt that it's happened. Well, some doubt apparently.
Marklar, these marklars want to change your marklar. They don't want Marklar or any of these marklars to live here because it's bad for their marklar. They use Marklar to try and force marklars to believe they're marklar. If you let them stay here, they will build marklars and marklars. They will take all your marklars and replace them with Marklar. These marklar have no good marklar to live on Marklar, so they must come here to Marklar. Please, let these marklars stay where they can grow and prosper without any marklars, marklars, or marklars.
How should people voice their displeasure with the potential death of Slashdot?
They have voiced it already and the engineer team is working on the fixes. Let's be fair and give them some time now. If there is still something to say, do it in the Slashdot Blog or send e-mail to feedback@slashdot.org with the subject "beta_feedback". Littering the article comments with "fuck beta" is not going to help.
It's the only thing that will have an impact otherwise it's "Will you please direct your complaints to that brick wall over there". The proper channels were used, ignored and they tried to roll it out anyway. Notice how only a day or two after the fuck beta thing started they had an announcement story on.
I wish you fucktards would stop trying to ruin this site for those of us who don't give a rats ass about these changes. You are pathetic wastes of space who cower behind "anonymous" postings. At least be a man and post under your own account so we know who the douche bag cry babies are and can avoid you once this silliness is over.
And I wish you fucktards would stop trying to let them ruin the site for those of us who DO give a rats ass about it.
Actually, private citizens are permitted to own tanks in the USA. Lots of paperwork, security checks, and some sort of license is required. All "guns" must be inoperable.
You can have tanks in the UK too.
Ross Noble has a tank – or more accurately an Abbott 433 self-propelled gun – which he brought from a website called Tanks A Lot. 'What's amazing is that you don't have to pay the Congestion Charge,' he told Richard Herring on his Leicester Square Theatre podcast released this week. 'There are no rules about it,' he added. 'The guns are deactivated now, but if they worked, from where I live now, I could hit Gatwick. That's not a threat. That REALLY isn't a threat. But I tell you what, the badger cull in our village is going well. I got the fucking lot...'
Keyword; was. It was part of a fad and a novel way to use the tech in the living room. Sure, loads and loads of people bought it, some of them probably still use it but I wonder how many they sell now. It's not hard to pick up a second hand one for dirt cheap because once people used it a few times they got bored of them. If they do go for it good luck to them, but imho focusing on being a fitness technology company or whatever isn't going to save them and if it does it will be a way that is no longer relevant in gaming.
Obviously they've had fitness stuff out. The wii was pretty much based on it so this is basically saying hey that worked lets do it again. But with the new bandwagon of smartwatches, app intergration and all those latest buzzy things. Thanks anyway though.
Jump on the latest bandwagon for a batch of customers you haven't milked yet. Oh well, put mario or zelda on something and the nintendards will lap it up. Especially if they make it make 'classic snes sfx'
Wow, never had so much hate directed at me for using a Facebook login before, good lord.

Fuck that, make the AC rage harder. Maybe you have a twitter acount you can use. Or maybe bebo or something. Anything to make him go on about rancid arseholes and black cocks like that's all he thinks about.
I'd love to see these people who try to justify being a thief at least put some skin in the game so when their content is ripped off they'll have a taste of what they're dishing out. A lot of "if I made music I'd let people trade it" happening and not a lot of "I make music and I've released it for free" going on.
I love the way it's always thiefs.
Bottomline is, the people that are going to buy it will. They may pirate it first but that will mostly be followed by a sale unless the product is not as good as expected and even then in the case of collectors etc it may get bought anyway. The people that aren't going to buy it won't. They may also pirate as well but only because they can, they get it because it's there but if it wasn't then no big deal.
Obviously there are the minority that are going to pirate everything they can for whatever reason they choose, but they haven't deprived anyone of any property so nothing has been thieved anyway.
Because there's a queen they all expect to look over them.
No one expects the Queen to do more than sit there and wave, she also gives a little speech on Christmas day. That's it. The Royal Family have been nothing more than a figure head and visitor attraction for quite some time now.
Try posting a comment which is anti-Liberal and/or anti-Islamic and watch for yourself how your comment would end up be modded into the oblivion.
Liberals I couldn't give a shit about but fuck Islam, most religions are bad but Islam is the worst. Seriously fuck Islam, fuck it more than Christianity.
You have never played with Americans on PSN or Xbox Live. CoD?
There seems to be an age cutoff with americans on line. Below all they do is scream about fucking your mum, sucking cock, calling everyone niggers and fags and all kinds of filty insults. Then they become ultra reserved and refuse to acknowledge the mere existence of a nipple.
*speaking broadly, does not apply to all yadda yadda yadda
That's not what I said at all. That one guy, by the way he came across gave me the impression of being a twat. Being a twat and being good at what you do are not linked nor are they mutually exclusive. You're taking what I said about one guy and just assuming that I apply that rationale to everyone, which is wrong.
That being said if I was in the position to hire someone and I had a guru that no one could get on with and a guy who knew nothing, obviously I'd go for the guru, but if I had another guy who could do the job, but not as well or as quickly but would get on and work well with others, he would most likely get it. There's so much more to work than technical ability and it's often when some people get such a high technical knowledge that they feel they know the best way to do everything, refuse to cooperate unless other people do it 'properly' i.e. the way they think it should be done that they become the most twatish of all and regardless of how much they actually know they just hold everything back and sap morale. *

You know know all commercial drivers operating vehicles exceeding 10,000 pounds are required to maintain a valid medical certificate, right?
Every pilot vs drivers of commercial vehicles over 5 tons. That still leaves an awful lot of potentially deadly vehicles roaming around.

...Writing code is not the same as putting bricks in a row.
since 3D printing will be the last technology we'll ever need, indeed invent. It's the Eschaton, the Singularity, the future.
Until you can 3D print me a teleporter keep on inventing.

You mean the one that was structurally tied to the other buildings that fell & had their debris fall on top of it?
You mean debris from the two huge buildings brought down in a controlled demolition?
If we had hookers, why would we need blackjack or Slashdot?
You need the slashdot to make the money to pay the hookers, the black jack is also for the hookers, but he isn't a card game.

Only if they've had a few tomato based condoments out in the past now they plan to base their future on a ketchup with their twist on it, yeah.

Total Genocide will fix every problem. Kill everything that has a genome. Everything.
Good plan, start with the AC's
You're talking today's tech. We already have self driving cars it's only a matter of time before they're competing against human drivers in races.
Regardless of anything else, that will make good TV.
How can airplanes that require human pilots remain competitive against (future) drone fighter jets that do not have human limitations of G forces?
Same reason we don't watch robot cars racing each other round F1 circuits at top speed. Would be cool and all but probably not all that great.

Ended in the 50's? Did you forget what the Falkland Islands are? There was a lot of pissed off people there as well.
Yeah but we need them for strategic sheep farming.
