Stealthy New Predator Aircraft Revealed

Austin Glass said:
Well, here's the problem we're faced with here:

These people that we're talking about, the fundamentalists anyway, they don't want to talk to us. Their preferred method of justice is to kill every last one of us. They say so themselves. They lump me into a group based on their perception of history. I've never done anything to them, but they still want me dead. They don't want to reason with me.

Please don't misunderstand me, though. I'm not saying we should just kill them and be done with it. If you're a part of a group that thinks killing innocent people is the only way to bring about justice in the world, and you can't be reasoned with, then you had better believe we're going to sick our shiny new predator planes on you.


:) You like how I brought us back on topic? I thought it was artful :thumbsup:

Yeah, you can sort fundamentalists out by making their own nationals turn against them. You do that by being nice/fair to other nations.. it goes against the grain I know, and there's few examples to go by..and its not a quick process.

Considering the average shot length in contemporary films is about five seconds, I don't think people can be arsed with anything that doesn't contain instant gratification.. like a bomb
 
God bless Einstein and Oppenheimer.

Nukes are the beggining of the end of war...

... or at least for a while... until the time of the real Star Wars comes. :(
 
Not that I'm too proud of this, but I used to be a professional computer gamer...Trust me when I say there are PLENTY of talented American gamers out there that could easily pwn.

If this were to become reality, it'd be sick to think that gamers would actually be playing with real lives. I don't like the thought of that. Game anyone?
 
Justin what games did you play pro?

Peolpe thought this will happen with every new weapon and where we are now? Creating whole industry around it and still developing something new and better.


UCAVs looks simple, clean, nice, safe and cheap. But in fact its pretty scarry. They can load several of them enclosed in boxes in belly of Galaxy, hang them on computers and progamm them durig flight with actual targets as conflict develops so they can fly right away after landig and hit the targer within few hours after first reports. Anywhere around the globe. While ships with odlschool aircrafts are still on its way.

Remembers me that chasing robotic police dog from Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451.
Like all that interesting Darpa games - fun for geeks but in near future pretty lethal for many others. :couch:

Oh yes, I'm a HUGE, HUGE Sagan fan.

I actually made that video I linked to a few years ago. IMO, Sagan's books -- all of them -- are required reading for humanity.

Ronx, I think what Carl is saying is that one-world government, or even better yet, GFTO this rock, is our best bet to survive technology.

But that's a whole 'nother subject! :couch:

Was it Sagan who suggested that if extra terrestrials visited earth it would bring humanity together by ending politics, war, and religion, leading ultimately to a single global government, and everyone living in unison? I'm not so sure..

Either way, I hope ET has read up on humans before he gets here or he's in for a shock! I bet they're out there now, listening to early radio broadcasts of Hitler out in deep space, as they prepare their packed lunches for the journey, and loading their disintegrator rifles :gun: :couch:
 
Ain't got nothin' on THIS stealth plane:

sir, with all due respect..never underestimate an Englishman armed with knowledge, and a single potato!

Obviously I would only bring the potato :couch:

Ronx, I love you man. I in fact, many Englishmen are some of my fave folks.

Spent some time a few years ago in China and the English flavor Ex-Pats were the best and I spent a lot of time with them. Good folks, once you get past the "speech impediment". :)

EDIT: Oh, and since I am of Irish decent, I love potatoes! In fact, we just planted two long rows in the garden last weekend! Bring 'em on!

Pretty soon wars will be fought by ultra-fast-reflexed 12 year old gamers recruited by armies, sitting at Xbox consoles.

But I pwn them daily... who said they'll be 12 years old? :sifone:

Tom said:
Or better yet, instead of fighting wars at all we can just "settle things" on Xbox live. Think of all the savings in money and lives.

Tom for president! :thumbsup:

International incident alert! Only existing potato superpowers are allowed to have potatoes. Cease and desist this provocative action!

I played Battlefield 1942 in both the TeamWarfare and CAL leagues. It was fun while it lasted, still keep in touch with some of the guys. Most of the others I didn't care for much.

Ah. I play 2142 a lot. But the stupid drivers for my 8800GTX aren't compatible with the game anymore, so I have to install some old, unstable beta drivers everytime I want to play. :headwall: What a pain. But that type of game is fun to play because it's an FPS, but also you can fly planes, drive tanks, etc.

That's one of the only reasons why I played the game, you got to do what you've always wanted to do in a war game, play with all the machinery!

I was a pretty damn good dive bomber in the SBD on Wake Island, didn't really play the other maps unless I was too bored and needed to revamp. Back in the day I had a lot of stuff written up on me under my callsign, but we won't get into that just yet ;).

You should try Project Reality for Battlefield 2. It is a team play modification for the original BF2. People really do play as teams and use headsets to communicate. Everything in game has been altered to promote team play, even limit lone wolfers.

There is a learning curve, but it also works as a filter to weed out the weak :) Trust me, it's hard going back to any other military game after this. The maps are absolutely huuuge. Jets zip by at jet speeds, helicopters have a warm-up time, no more snipers driving off with a tank and leaving it for the enemy to destroy. Tank crew men do the tanking, pilots do the flying and organized squads do the ground work.

Really old trailer..click!

Random squad play from the current version..Click! This is Insurgency game mode US VS. Taliban.
