I avoid Google as much as I can. With the exception of Google Pedometer, Google Maps, and SketchUp I don't use Google at all. Seeing this story and the influence Google has on the Internet I feel they have too much power.
That's what I was trying to say...thanks. I think the elimination of the life support functions would significantly lighten/shrink and change the design of a fighter. Coupled with more maneuverability due to no need to limit g-forces due to pilot passing out could make drone better at dog-fighting v. piloted aircraft.
Wow, you make conclusions based on having no specs and assuming the piloted planes are FA-18 or F-22 or something else semi-modern and the drones are biplanes. You got spec sheets on these drones that don't yet exist? Who's to say the drones won't be as fast as a normal jet, just more maneuverable (due to no pilot to keep alive while turning)? Drones would rule the sky so long as an idiot doesn't program them.
I used to play a game back in the early 90's called crobots where you get a C interpreter and some additional commands to control a robot, move, scan for objects, shoot, etc. It wasn't difficult to "dog-fight" with simple two-dimensional "robots" back then as a kid...I imagine it's child's play for a government to program actual fighters to dog fight if necessary. I'd think a fighter drone would be unstoppable by piloted aircraft due to G-loads a pilotless aircraft could endure and it coul,d be much smaller (e.g. harder target, mor maneuverable, etc.).
Intel's latest HDxxx graphics options aren't that bad. I have an HTPC with a Core i3 and HD2000 graphics and it does 1080P fine which is all I ask for especially at 35W. Glad to see AMD improving but your argument is odd.
We think nothing can move faster than the speed of light...I'll bet in the future this will be disproven. Kind of like how we thought the Earth was flat or the sun orbited the Earth, etc.
I remember seeing an experiment where they slowed light down to 38 mph (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=99111&page=1#.UGL6aqTyb9A) so I could easily drive my car faster than the speed of light (but now I'm being a smart/dumb ass). What happened to traditional physics when they thought up quantum mechanics? QM was a totally new concept that altered our view of a lot of things and I expect something similar will happen to change our view of the speed of light being the max speed attainable.
All politicians are vague so they don't have to flip-flop...the public/we are way to critical of everything they do so we need to STFU sometimes and do you really think they listen after they're elected?
It's interesting to see how perspectives get skewed by those perpetrating the crimes. How is blasphemy considered so evil it needs an international law but killing people and chopping off their heads isn't? Why aren't radical muslims and those who tolerate them arrested?
IIRC, this is part of the master plan; use the West's legal system to promote islam...
Didn't Looney Tunes teach this exact thing 60 years ago:
Daffy Duck to Elmer Fudd: "It's rabbit season!"
Buggs Bunny to Elmer Fudd: "It's duck season!"
Daffy Duck to Elmer Fudd: "It's rabbit season!"
Buggs Bunny to Elmer Fudd: "It's rabbit season!"
Daffy Duck to Elmer Fudd: "It's duck season, now blast the duck!"
Elmer Fudd: [boom, duck bill on top of Daffy Duck's head]
Must be nice to be so important...make sure to stretch your arms properly prior to patting yourself on the back to avoid pulling anything. I lived in Japan for four years and do not recall ever seeing an outlet with a switch on it...same thing in Australia and other locations. Not sure why this bugs you so much but I couldn't care less other than to say what I've seen from my experience which obviously differs from your experience. You're that guy Glenn Beck told us not to argue with so I'm done...
FYI, I've travelled to Australia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Korea, Canada, Germany, a UK territory, and Mexico and can't recall outlet switches. How about you being more accepting of other people's lack of specific knowledge of your country, no need to get mad about me now knowing something...sheesh.
The only "power switches" on my wall sockets are called GFCIs but I don't play PS3 in the bathroom. Not sure what switches you're talking about. I'd be happy if the PS3 would be turned off via menu...
I remember muslims celebrating in the streets on 9/11 and don't remember any speaking out against the attacks. I remember them trying to build a mosque at ground zero with no muslims saying it would be disrespectful to do so. I've seen too many muslims protesting with their RPGs holding flags with AK-47s and fists on them without anyone in the community saying anything. I read about a community in Michigan (I think) that wanted to enact sharia law in the USA and US citizens were told not to protest at the courthouse because it might incite the muslims to violence.
"Religion of peace" is just marketing. I understand 99% of muslims are peaceful but where are the Islamic leaders who are speaking out publicly against the violence? If they don't denounce the violence they are complicit.
Yeah, I omitted all the legacy acts (e.g. crusades) due to irrelevance. Are the perpetrators of the attacks on doctors and family planning clinics attacking in the name of God or are they just religious people who do bad things? After the attacks, does the Christian community commend them or at least not stand against them? I see the Muslim community either applaud crimes committed in the name of Allah or they're silent (due to fear of reprisal if they speak against the perpetrators). Again, Christian crimes aren't widespread and lauded by the Christian community while Muslim crimes are plus the Muslim crimes are committed in the name of Allah and are typically much more heinous (e.g. beheadings and rapes) although there've been plenty of Catholic priests molesting children which is equally as heinous (thought you'd mention that point). I respect the Muslim religion but I wish they were help to the same standard as other religions...
Sorry to ramble and repeat myself but I wanted to stress what I feel are the important differences, neither religion is blameless but Muslims (at this point in history) are much more violent yet get a pass.
Wow...obviously you're blinded by beliefs or have an agenda. How many examples of violence by Christians can you cite? I'm not talking about a person who was a Christian and did something bad, I'm referring to people who do bad things in the name of Christianity. Not very many...Muslims on the other hand, kill in the name of Allah all the time and yet nobody cares. Trying to turn the tables without any facts is not going to get you very far on/.
Obviously they weren't protesting because of the movie, it was a pre-coordinated attack on September 11th. How many (non-Muslim) people bring an RPG to a protest anyways?
Why don't Muslims around the world stand up, look at the violence around the world perpetrated by other Muslims, and publicly state "that's not my religion"? I think the answer is they're scared to be outspoken because violence is a part of the Muslim religion.

Yup...I think Google is too big and needs to get broken up to dilute their power as they control too much.

Hopefully they keep their feathers numbered for just such an occasion.

According to the bartender in the "Three Amigos" tequila is like beer.
You know what they say about hubris...and mighty penises.

Negative...I think President Reagan was very wise which trumps intelligence everyday for a leader. No sarcasm in my post.
Yup. Seems President Reagan agrees with you:
"Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong." Ronald Reagan
"We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free." Ronald Reagan
