  1. Re:army? on Predator-Style Helmets Allow Pilots to See Through Planes · · Score: 1, Informative
    No, the F-35 is more of a stealth fighter than the Harrier, which is actually being replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon. BAE is in-fact involved in the development of the F-35 as well.

    Considering this is a UK piece and the F-35 is set to replace their ARMY's Harrier then it does make sense and you just look like a dumbass. Remember the air force fly planes, and the army drive tanks!

    Wrong: its a stealth-strike fighter, not for carpet bombing.

    THere's a certain McDonalds I've been to, which for the past 8 times has messed up the order!

    The BBFC would pass Manhunt, if Rockstar had the sense to stop pushing it, and make the required cuts.

    Why would you do that though?

    Wrong.
    Unforunately governments tend to be rather bad at Economics, which is why most Central Banks are, thankfully, moving out of government control.

    Because if its sterile, funnily enough, it can't breed.

    Of course, it makes you wonder, why couldn't they create some disease to kill the cane toad off? Or destroy opium poppies etc.

    You just proved the point yourself: you can be guilty of something that is not a crime.

  12. Re:Permanently genetically modified organisms on GMOs Perfected Down to the Chromosome Level · · Score: 1

    Its not like you're creating an entirely new plant, or even basing a new one off an old one. Its like taking one car and replacing a part or two.

    I like Vista because Bliss is gone.

  15. Re:To be fair... on New England Patriots Obtain Online Ticket Reseller Names · · Score: 1

    Simple solution: photos on season tickets, but be allowed a guest to go in their place a few times per season. Or bind them to credit cards, that would put off resellers.

    Well in the UK, you cross the box of the MP you want.

    I wonder, could we have a /. poll on forms of election?
    * Westminster parliamentary
    * Proportional Representation
    * Really stupid and outdated Electoral College
    etc.
    Anyone else want to recommend more, to minimize complaints over lack of options?

    If the WTO kicks the US out (or if the US leaves), then those poor defenseless American companies can say bye-bye to their copyrights being upheld anywhere else.
