No, that's when they make the "flash-back" episode, consisting of nothing but clips from previous ones. Luke Skywalker and R2D2 get caught in a parallel dimension by flying to close to a black hole in their X-Wing, and spend the rest of the 180 minutes reminiscing about the good 'ol days, or about Christmas parties past.
They (the Ayatollahs) don't want regular Iranians to see how they are living behind closed off walls. That's the real lesson from Google Earth and the Arab spring. They'll probably replace all their weapons factories and Revolutionary Guard bases with baby milk factories, kindergartens, and hospitals for good measure too.
Too bad Kim Jong Il isn't still around. Last I heard, he claimed to be an "internet expert," and he was rumored to be an expert in all things..
Kim Jong Il invented the internet while an undergraduate student at the Kim Jong Il university. This was during his artistic years when he composed such romantic operas "Kimi, the last of the Tribunes" and the "Flying Chinaman."

A Korean war would not serve China's political goals. It would put American troops on the Yalu river. China almost certainly has a contingency plan for a Korean War. China probably plans on occupying N. Korea in event of a war, then telling the Americans they can defend S. Korea, but they cannot cross the DMZ.
Was stationed in S. Korea many years ago. Every year, the U.S. has conducted a large-scale joint military maneuver with the ROK. Every year, N. Korea goes on a rant about the exercise. Usually their rant is just the usual propaganda about an impending invasion, and their great General Kim Il Sung foiled the Imperialists once again until next year. But now that they have a new Fuhrer, maybe he feels he needs to kick it up a notch to be noticed. N. Korea is a dangerous country, but 99% of their rhetoric is for internal propaganda purposes. Maybe the recent rebellions in the Middle East + new leader + China no longer being their unconditional ally are taking a psychological toll.
Back then, MS sold Office bundled with Excel, Word, etc. for a little more than the price of Lotus 1-2-3 or Word Perfect alone. Lotus 1-2-3 may have been the more powerful tool, but it was still a DOS app.
I prefer chipping mission critical ones and zeros in marble blocks. The problem is the storage density is pretty poor and erasing is very very slow, requiring a drill hammer.
A lot of ignorance in your post. The Marines do not have Super Hornets. They have legacy Hornets; A+, C, D. The F-35 is supposed to be a replacement for the Harrier and the Hornet. Also, strike into an Integrated Air Defense system is not one of the six functions of Marine Corps aviation (MCWP-3-2: Aviation Operations).
In order to conduct an amphibious operation and close air support, you need to have air superiority. In a small war it's probably a given because the enemy isn't a nation state with advanced technology. If the enemy has a chance of gaining local air superiority for even a minute, you can assume the Marines won't be taking that beach all by themselves. There will be Air Force and Navy covering that landing.
On the JSF, VTOL is a Marine requirement, but I doubt the Marines were pushing stealth. My main criticism of the JSF is it's an "all eggs in one basket" approach. Without a viable fallback option the Marines could wind up being a helicopter-only force, especially as more and more legacy Hornets reach their end of life. I'm not bashing the JSF in any way, but the program is risky. The military has a poor track record of managing risky projects, especially joint ones..
Not necessarily, but there will be a motorcoach for making out in in the forward cargo hold between some crates of beer from Prussia and sacks of spice from Persia.
....What needs to happen is that the rich parasite class of the US stop threatening the N. Korean people with annihilation, and then N. Korea can divert some of the money trying to defend against US aggression into feeding the population....
And we would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for masterfully cunning strategery of The Great Eternal Leader.
I'd imagine a fair number of Iranian soldiers feel the same way about the Ayatollah, but it's hard to say when it's a matter of loyalty to a religious leader vs a secular dictator.
I doubt any Iranian soldiers are on/. to comment on this, but since the Ayatollahs have established a "revolutionary guard" as a parallel military with its own command structure, logistic chain, etc. it seems they don't trust their professional army.
No, in singular it would be "mein übriges Auge" because eye is a neutral-case noun. In the plural case it would be "meine übrigen Augen", or my remaining eyes, which may apply if you're a fly-kind of person.

...To put it in terms you would be more likely to understand, if stars were thespians, a brown dwarf would be on par with Jean Claude Van Damme...
I always thought a brown dwarf was the actor who played the character Tatoo in Fantasy Island. Was Jean Claude Van Damme in Fantasy Island?

Only when the photo's taken from the right angle. Otherwise it looks just like a Hollywood set, or the empty mid-rises in Kijong-dong.

But can it wreck a college professor's house full of pop corn?
so you're saying peace might have a chance after all.
