Never mind the fact that most modern RADAR units are being designed by multiple countries are exploiting the same method that he used to get enough of a lock to allow his missiles to do their job. By lowing the frequency to something a stealth fighter cannot protect itself from.
Agreed. The F/A-18 was supposed to be the navy's "low cost" fighter, as opposed to the "high cost" F-14. However, the original F/A-18 versions....
... needed less then a third of the maintenance then the F-14, had less then a third of the numbers of failures per flight hour. And the F/A-18E managed to nearly halve the F/A-18's numbers.
The F-117 Stealth Fighter used Wild Weasels and Jamming aircraft, as far back as the Gulf War as standard operating procedure. That won't change with the F-35.
The F-117 that was shot down in Serbia, was done with a SAM site from the 1960's (with 1950's tech) on a mission where their normal escort was not sent up with them.
Every Super Hornet has been delivered on time and on budget. The same cannot be said about the F-35, which is already two years late, and is expected to be between 7-8 years late at the moment.
The military uses a private GPS channel that is secure and encrypted and has not been hacked or spoofed.
Nope, Clinton changed that. Selective Availability for civilian use was ended and military channels have been broadcasted without encryption since 2000.
Drones are cheap, send a 1000. they cost about 5K + Ordinance.
Drones like the X-45 and X-47, the ones you'd need to do the job of a fighter, are anything but cheap.
Instead they are just as large, and just as costly as a manned fighter, only real different there is no pilot.
Add about 4 extra zeroes to that number and you might get closer to the real costs. $50 million or more, instead of 5K. These are not something you'd assemble in your backyard.
A AWACS is doing most of the long range RADAR tracking for no fly zones, fighter RADAR units are relatively small range and effectively useless to maintain such a "zone".
At which point a AWACS broadcasting to a F-22 in a omni-directional encrypted data stream such as LINK-16, won't give way the F-22's position and allow it to enforce the no fly zone.
The F-22's and F-35's tail pipe is not protected at all, and they have bigger engines then a standard fighter. So they are releasing a much more larger thermal picture then the average fighter.
The B-2 is "all aspect" stealth as it tries to hide both it's IR and RADAR signature, unlike the two mentioned fighters that only protect themselves mainly from frontal RCS reduction strategies.
Also the RCS as reported by the USAF a couple years back on the F-35 isn't all that great. It is half the size of the F-117 Stealth Fighter, and the Serbians managed to shoot one down in 1999 with a SA-3 dating back from the early 1960's. Hence the F-117's retirement.
No, the F-35 will have MADL that will allow it to communicate somewhat more stealthy (Burst transmissions and somewhat directional signal)
The F-22 can only communicate one way to allied or US fighters, using a LINK 16 which is set on receive only so that it can remain stealthy during it's missions.
Mind you this is all irrelevant, the US has had 3 wars since it introduced them over 7 years ago, and has yet to allow them to enter combat. Mainly because at $150 million a pop they can't risk having one shot down like what happened in Serbia with a F-117. It would ruin all American public opinion on the viability of a stealth plane.
You really don't need the metal brake either, people have done fine doing the same kind of metal forming in HVAC etc using nothing but two stiffer pieces of steel and a couple of clamps if you want to simplify the production of it.
There are some tablets out there that come with desktop operating systems, and are equivalent to a desktop.
But most current tablets are nothing more then smartphones with larger screens. Such as the iPad verses the iPhone etc. Which use the same basic hardware and software to get them working. They are entertainment consumption devices not computing devices is what it boils down to.
Then say a Fujitsu Tablet which runs proper Windows for Desktops and has the hardware capabilities of a laptop not a smartphone.
Even the Microsoft Surface isn't really a computer in the traditional sense, it's meant to compete with the likes of Smartphone tablets that are out there. Only the Surface Pro which has Netbook class specifications could be even considered a "real" computer in the traditional sense.
If you want to compare Japan to a western country such as Germany, where having a supreme leader being able to run the country into a massive war, to kill as many innocents as possible and established a "empire", then sure.
Want to compare it to other Western countries, even ones with expansionist histories. Not so much.
Lost territory is lost territory, those islands are not the only ones China has been focusing on, but they are the only ones that matter to Western Media due to Japanese and American ties.
It is about the train ticket program, many people in China feel cheated losing out to people with that program to automatically snip tickets, over a million train tickets were sold online in a mater of a couple of seconds due to it.
This is a FIVE day holiday for Chinese New Year, and many millions every year go back home to their traditional villages with their families, and being unable to buy tickets due to such a program is quite upsetting for them.
A manager gets paid to manage, and in the case of companies that run R&D labs and promote innovations, their job is to recognize a good innovation over a bad one from their employees.
I can "innovate" a toliet with a back scratcher, doesn't mean a company should invest $10 million dollars to design and build thing thing commercially when the total sales of the item will be $10,000 and that is only because you sold two of them at $5,000 a piece.
Reality and life must set in before proper innovation and application of that innovation can occur.
And no not a MBA, I'm not a bean counter, I'm just a realist.
If Lenovo wants to improve the ThinkPad, as a user of Thinkpads since the 600E came out, the best thing they can do is not change it. Not look at it, give us updates in hardware as they have, and leave the damn thing alone. Pretend it doesn't even exist.
Typing from a W510, a Lenovo ThinkPad which is pretty good, including the docking system.
Production environment, with people using drill presses to pop holes in using pre-built drill jigs and possibly fixturing to hold down the work depending on the size and other factors.
It has died down in recent years due to lower volumes being produced in North America, combined with CNC machines making drilling part of the same process instead of a additional step, but some higher volume items are still done this way in this part of the world.

E.G. Steve Jobs, Entrepreneur. Tim Cook, Manager. Enough said.
Steve Woz Entrepreneur and creater of many successful Apple innovations, Steve Job's a good marketer and not much else.

And no not a MBA, I'm not a bean counter, I'm just a realist.
No, just Managers put reality into the mix and don't waste their money.
The fact is, most entrepreneurs completely fail, their innovations are useless due to tiny market shares, tiny profit margins, and high costs.
So who cares if they innovate if their innovations are useless.

It's a poor phrase, unfortunately. Software patents are nothing like actually collecting rent because they provide no utility to the one paying.
If it provided no utility to the one paying, then the one paying wouldn't be using it and instead would do something else.
