  1. Older than what? on India Turns Down American Fighter Jets, Buys From France · · Score: 1

    F16: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon -> Intro date 1978
    F18: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F/A-18_Hornet -> Intro date 1983
    F35: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II -> Intro date: TBD (sometime 2016-2018)
    Rafale: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafale -> Intro date: 2000

    Now, can you explain to me how the Rafale becomes "older technology"?
    Older than any airplane not yet in service alright, but the other contenders do not qualify as newer technology either.

  3. Re:JUST publish it, make it "prior art" on How Do I Put an Invention Into the Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    The simplest is still to file for a patent, get it published, and then just not support it. It will be in the database, obviously visible to the examinators.

  4. Re:Nothing new on Google Terror Threat · · Score: 2, Informative

    WorldWind does have higher resolution maps of certain areas on earth. I can see my and my parents' house quite distinctly, while on GoogleEarth I see at best a dark pixel.

    Don't worry folks, GoogleEarth won't change anything soon.
