24 - she gave up her life of crime to be with Bruce
25 - this bothered me too but he was dead so his company could, not him
27 - he wasn't thrown, he was shot by the batpod's cannon

They are people who, to generalise a profile, feel they have been totally rejected by society and reject it back, they choose as their targets the very people who rejected them or proxies thereof.
Besides, there will always be someone not armed somewhere, would you expect elementary school children to carry guns, and nurses in hospitals? You can't arm everybody, that would be insane. Or they will get a sniper rifle instead and shoot from where they can't be shot back. This has happened, I think.

And I would rather them shoot a single person from afar than wander in and kill a whole bunch of people. This last shooting, the big magazine jammed (as they do) and the guy tried to fix it, eventually giving up for a pistol. Had someone been armed, something could have happened.
Nurses should not have to be armed, but they also should not be disarmed. If someone come's on my missus' ward looking to kill, I'd rather she be able to protect herself.

There have always been tight controls on guns in the UK, the shooting in Dunblane was followed by even stricter controls. The guy was a paedophile, and he shot up a primary school. He owned the guns legally, but he was a known nutcase who should never have been allowed a license, from what I gather, there was some element of corruption involved.

F-22 takes another knock. Not only is it currently suffocating pilots, its airframe g restrictions and rate-of-turn limitations mean it can't escape from a Typhoon up close. As the beyond visual range missile technology is only 10% as effective as suggested after a study of all air-to-air combat engagements since the 1950s, the F-22 isn't all that- and that's before the EFA has finished developing thrust vectoring nozzles. Just as well Eurofighter consortium reversed the decision to ditch the Vulcan cannon and balance the airframe with a concrete dummy instead.

...BAe would have to fit new undercarriage, reinforced folding wings, more powerful engines and flight controls, an arrestor hook complete with strengthened mounts, not to mention the necessary strengthened structure.
The end result would be heavier, more expensive and have less range than a carrier plane designed as such from the outset like an F-18 or Rafale. The Royal Navy has looked at buying Rafales, which could well be an option if the US decide to can the STOVL version of the F-35.

...is four gas turbine engines, with what is in effect a dynamo to supply electric power to the engines directly instead of the old fashioned system of boilers and turbines, which used to supply the steam needed for catapults. Moreover, the torque of a steam catapult cannot be adjusted, so they cannot launch very light UAVs, hence the need for modern carriers to be fitted with a sci-fi railgun. BAe managed to accidentally "inflate" the cost of adapting the QE carrier for a railgun, just in case the MoD decided that the F-35 is too expensive to procure and went down the route of buying F-18s or Rafales instead. Remember that BAe and Rolls Royce have a lot at stake if the F-35 turns out to be a massive white elephant.

I just like the notion that they were designed to operate out of petrol stations if need be.

Photographer David Bergman created this Gigapan during the 2012 Olympic Games at Olympic Park in London, UK. He made the composite photo by shooting 425 individual photos in a grid pattern (25 across by 17 down) during a one-hour time period as the athletes entered the stadium. The final high-resolution image is 81,992 X 37,520 -- more than three billion pixels.

In 1990 I* spent £50,000 on a massive 8GB of hard disk. And that was second hand.

no surprise to me she is driving a BMW.
( , Mon 30 Jul 2012, 17:46, Reply)

just where did she think the truck was going to go was it just going to disappear in a puff of smoke for her to continue on her way? But the driver did the correct thing and sit and wait for her to back her car out of the way.

mini bus full of youngsters v's old git ( i.e. the bmw lady )The kids all got out of the mini bus and started eating their pack lunches whilst the old fart went batshit as they wouldn't move. It was one of the funniest things I've seen and kudos to the kids for playing it cool

Yes, the hormonal bitch is throwing a tantrum, but it also has to be said that the the truck driver is also deliberately winding her up. I love the way she goes to the garbage truck guy to garner support but he couldn't care less.

He has clearly been driving the truck through small side roads carefully and then she turns up.

An outbreak in a city could get very serious when people start panicking and want to leave.

a strain of it was considered airbourne but it was only because blood particles had got into the water droplets in the air...
so that's ok then :/
the idea of a patient being brought into a hospital and it spreading before they can close the area down is so very different from a small clinic somewhere, which seems to be as far as it gets often.

Build your own mech to order, then.. drive about the streets in it scaring people.

The mech's are coming, man :)
Though realistically... I think these things have some kinetic issues that need working out before we see them invading people for their oil and resources to make mobile phones. As for exoskeletons, yeah, I think they coming soon.
