  5. Your problem is.. on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    The main problem is that the your leaders refuse to standup and refute the minority in your religion that are using it as a justification for 'terrorist acts' and the prevension of social development of your culture. If you want to have the stigma of being a munch of 'fenatics who use mentally retarded people as human guided bombs' removed, then it is up to your leadership to denounce these acts loudly and 'everytime' the happen.

  6. Re:fucking duh on Failed Avionics a Possible Cause of BA038 Crash · · Score: 1

    If we only listened to reports from people who actually investigated an incident, instead of reporters telling us what people thought they saw or heard third or fourth hand, then what would all the conspiricy buffs fill their time discussing.

  8. Re:"they try to fix it" on Anti-Missile Technology To Be Tested on Commercial Jets · · Score: 1

    Only if it does not cost the airline industry too much money. Like using nitrogen to stop empty fuel tanks from exploding and requiring flight deck doors to be strong and locked.

  9. Re:What about TWA flight 800? on Anti-Missile Technology To Be Tested on Commercial Jets · · Score: 1

    That is because the solution to theproblem or exploding gas tanks like the problem of hijacking aircraft, easy access to the flightdeck, were already released as advisories dating back to the 1970's but that airling industry did not impliment because of costs.

  10. Not to mention...the United States on Anti-Missile Technology To Be Tested on Commercial Jets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Friends like the United States. Remember that it was the United States that gave the Taliban the high teck wepons used against the Soviets in Afganistan.

  11. Fight the rest of the world???? on WTO Awards Caribbean Country Right to Ignore US Copyright · · Score: 1

    Just imagine for a moment if the rest of the world started to price oil in Euros instead of US Dollars Which some are already sugesting because of the dramatic fall in value of the US Dollar over the last few years.

  12. Nothing New Here on UPS Using Software To Eliminate Left Turns · · Score: 1

    My Mother-in-Law used to do this all the time before she drove anywhere. Not to save time though just because she did not like to do left turns.

    Now that would be great. "Lethal Weapon" or "Platoon" in space.

  15. Academy Classes on Star Trek XI Plot Details Revealed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So long as they do not have them all in the same year at the Academy or even all at the Academy at the same time. If they have Kirk and Chekov or even Sulu in the Academy at the same time I am waking out of the theater.

  18. Re:Modern day piracy... on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 1

    That is why I said 'most'.

  19. Re:Modern day piracy... on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 1

    To prevent most piracy all you have to do is to not pay the crew third world wages. Pay real wages and you will save money in the long run.

  20. Fast maned anti-pirate vessels on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 1

    Why not use this class of fast maned vessel, HMCS Bras d'Or (FHE 400). They can cruse in ocean waters and due to their speed are able to get on the scene very quickly and no ship can outrun them.

  21. Prior Art. on Looking for gPhone Clues in Google Patents · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If that is truly what the patent is about then there is prior art, entering Jananeese characters via an English keyboard [Bailey Controls (Japan)], for it going back to the early 1980's.

  23. Aircraft Parts on Xerox's 'Intelligent Redaction' Scanners · · Score: 1

    Contrary to what 9/11 Truthies say there were all kinds of parts visible and recovered from the Pentagon site. A simple Google serach shows this. (But of course we all know that they were planted and the photos were doctored.)

  24. Re:Doesn't make any difference to me on Airlines Have to Ask Permission to Fly 72 Hours Early · · Score: 1

    Unless the aircraft you are in has to overfly US controled airspace, and it is scattered all over the world' to get where it is going. Then if they don't have the list of passengers and all their data your plane will not be allowed to enter US controled air space. If that is that case you may just find yourself taken off your flight even if your plane never touches US soil.

  25. Re:Hmmmm.... on US Faces $100 Billion Fine For Web Gambling Ban · · Score: 1

    Not if they just bite the bullet and start princing eveything in a more stable currency, like the EURO. Imagin the state of the US ecomomy when oil is no longer priced in US dollars.
