Incorrect. The Sea Shadow had many hours of open-water trials. Granted, it was never intended for actual duty, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Sea Shadow has undergone sea trials.
Yes, Lockheed developed a stealth ship called the Sea Shadow as a technology testbed, not something that was to deployed for combat. The idea behind the ship was to make it a missile ship. It would travel 200 kilometers ahead of a strike force and launch surface-to-air missiles at oncoming bombers and attack aircraft.
Lockheed's Skunkworks also drew up plans for a stealth submarine, but when they presented the design to the Navy brass, they were told "The Navy doesn't build ships like that" and was ignored everafter. I don't understand the lack of foresight, but I, personally, can't think of another service that relies on sonar and stealth moer than the submarine service!
Please.. I don't hate native americans. I hate lazy people taking handouts and STILL having the lowest quality of life in America. Where's my fuckin' handout? I'm a native, too. Oh wait.. I'm white. It's been decreed that I don't need any help with anything. In fact, it's my duty to help everyone else. To hell with that.
correct.. though, if we apply the term "native americans" to the decents of the clovis, let's at least stop thinking of them as some sort of noble savage. just ebcause their means at environmental destruction aren't quite as great as modern mans', the idea that they somehow live in harmony with nature is utter bullshit.
How about they freakin' tell the government to get out of their lives? Fuck the BIA. Leave the reservation. It's not going to be roses, but it can be done if you have even a modicum of ambition and the drive to chase what you want. I'm sure no native WANTS to be subject to the federal government. And about the culture.. you can honor it all you want (every other minority does it) and still live in the modern world. The native culture is effectively dead. That's what happens with evolution. Get over it.
I agree! It has been how long since the evil white man destroyed their way of life? I for one, respect the fact that they lived here prior to the American expansion, but modern native americans need to get with the times and realize that their way of life is freakin' dead. As such, they need to quit holding to these reservations and join the real world. If some poor Vietnamese kid can come to America and be a millionaire in a decade, natives can do the same thing. I'm getting tired of all the handouts and special treatment. They shop in stores jsut like me.. not kill their food like they used to. And even then, I'm tired of this noble savage image that they've taken advantage of. I mean, when their ancestors moved into this continent they caused the extinction of numerous large mammals (mastadons and such are the msot well-known). Sure, they didn't have guns, but once white man brought 'em from Europe, the natives were all about using them to slaughter each other. They are no more noble than any other race of human.
Back to the point, though. Get with the times folks and quit depending on government handouts. Better yet, America.. take away the nipple everyone is suckling on!
I'm not a parent yet, but I think the principal I'm about to present applies to any and all careers. It's all about priorities. Don't become a work-aholic and everything should be fine. Work 40-45 hours a week, spend your free time with your family and try not to bring your work home with you. Don't spend weekends trying to make deadlines and stuff. If your career requires you to do a lot of work on your days off and such, find a new job. Family, IMO, is far more important than a paycheck. Don't sacrifice family for money. It is NEVER worth it.
Well, it takes me three clicks to select an entire line of text in Firefox. So would that qualify as prior art for the triple-click? I mean, Firefox 0.8 has been around since before this patent, right?
That's what evolution is all about, man. The week, ugly, undesirables WILL be eliminated. It won't be a concious effort (a la Nazism), rather simple side effect of life. Accept it and live with it. Hell, you owe your existence to this very same phenomenon.
Quit playing video games and start playing the best game in the world.. SEX! Have sex, sex, and more sex. Become a freakin' sex machine! I mean, how can video games be more attractive than the feel and smell of a good woman?
I don't have time for video games and barely get to watch TV. Me and my girl are always randy and ready to go. Then, when she's sleeping 'cause of the thrashing I just gave her, I can play video games. She doesn't care what I do then.:-)
My next truck is going to have a diesel engine. Gasoline is simply too expensive. Diesel has always been less expensive with or without home-brewing it. My guess is that I'll be makign the purchase in two years or so.
Not a freakin' robot. When will the world stop naming everything that takes some labor away from humans a robot? Robots need more than just a big inflatable bag and hot air.. or the ability to zoom around and suck up dirt and dead skin cells. Sheesh..
Yeah, legislating technology that doesn't really even exist yet isn't THAT good, but neither is your email provider data mining you, and possibly selling that info to other companies.
If you have a problem with a commercial company minnig your data, setup your own domain, your own mail server and be done with it. I hate complainers.
It's a voluntary service. Just make sure users know about it before they signup to use the service. Then you're free from liability. Not too difficult. Or am I mistaken?
I don't think civilians will go to space merely for the wow factor. I mean, space tourism will have a small niche, but I don't see it getting big just yet. However, getting civilian companies into the business of launching satellites, hiring private astronauts, and other such things seems (to me, anyway) the future of the business. We need to stop relying on NASA and the Europeans to launch our satellites. We all know that governments are ridiculously bad at spending more than need be. Civilians companies are much, much better at it (though not perfect). And that's the whole idea, right? To lower the cost of getting into space? NASA and government-backed space agencies don't have the same impetus to lower costs and raise productivity.
I, for one, never need to use a search utility. If you organize your filesystem into a consistent, easy to navigate structure, you can't get lost. Now, if you're the type who throws all of their documents, music, and pictures into one giant directory with no subcategory sorting, this may be of some use. But as I say, I have no use for it.
1) I'm calling upon ALL European Citizens to VOTE IN THE NEXT EUROPEAN ELECTIONS! Even though there is much wrong in European politics, not using your vote and at least applying that little influence you do would be insanely foolish!
2) Let's all coordinate our lobbying efforts! If you have even just one or two hours a week available to help out, spend it by contacting certain EP's (preferably try to start a dialogue with one or two specific EP's, so you can concentrate on them and build up more personal relations) and contact FFII to notify them of your efforts and inform them who you are in contact with. There were only five of us, and look how far we have come in only 5 days time!
Dude.. We've been preaching this same mantra over here in the states for decades and we still can't must a 50% voter turn-out. Good luck over there in Europe.

they can leave the reservation if they so desired. it's not my fault that they don't. perhaps they're content to live in squalor.
