There is probably zero electricity on the Moon, and yet it manages to get both much hotter and much colder than the Earth, somehow. Ever wondered why? Please read this, and then do us all a favor and read much more before trying to contribu

Sounds like it's time to stop hyperventilating over the biggest nuclear non-disaster in American history and build more reactors. Fun fact: in 1962, the Atomic Energy Commission projected there would be almost ten times as much availab

I do think there is worse bullshit to be concerned by than whether or not a British tech writer has physically stood in Mountain View, though. I thought the beauty of the internet was in reducing the significance of that sort of thing.

Mirage 2000, Rafale, and Typhoon were/are all arguably designed with a huge emphasis on energy maneuverability, which is also only meant for dogfights according to postings on internet forums. And there are plenty of other isolated way

The Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen, etc. are not comparable to the F-35. The F-35, beyond being a purpose-built stealth jet, is almost as much an electronic warfare platform as it is traditional multirole fighter. The tech is as much on sale as th
