A US congressman was killed in 1983 when a USSR jet shot down a Korean air flight, and it didn't result in the end of the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007

I want to point out that even those detained as unlawful combatants are guaranteed due process. Due process is defined simply as notice and a hearing. The Constitution requires that you receive both before being deprived of life, liberty, o

All true. But this would be an alternative, the same that Mirage's were a popular alternative for MiGs. At some point, those soviet planes become so expensive to maintain that it's worth it to purchase new ones. Of course, to prop

No, I'm thinking more of stable governments which have reasonable defense budgets. That was meant to be captured by "Medium sized countries", but I guess not. Think South America, larger SE Asian economies, etc. This is all s

Do 'tptacek's challenges? They seemed pretty popular at the time.

Absolutely. The idea that JSF can fill the role, even with UCAVs in support, is laughable.

I wouldn't expect Brazil to be a market for this sort of plane, but rather more countries which currently primarily purchase used or refurbished soviet fighters. But then again, given their low development costs, who's to say that

It might be cheap enough, and given the wings might have the loiter time, but can it carry the ordinance that an A-10 can? Certainly doesn't seem to have the same survivability characteristics either.

My guess is they're not aiming their sights at the Pentagon, but rather medium sized country exports. Plenty of countries want a modern yet cheap to maintain air capability.

Yeah, I knew there was something else too. All are little code or code-free backend services.

I won't repeat dragonwriter, but I wasn't criticizing, just pointing out that your statements aren't absolute rules. They just tend to be the simplest statements of the rules that exist. Also with arrest, lower standard for i

Sort of like google's cloud endpoints, I suppose: https://developers.google.com/cloud/samples/mbs/ and https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/endpoints/

Lots of money was spent to connect things like schools and libraries with fiber, and were.

Ahh. Yet still, it was not found at CDC by CDC employees more likely to be trained to handle highly infectious samples.

It began at the FDA, which doesn't routinely handle substances of this type. That's why it was transferred to NIH in Bethesda temporarily while the CDC team came up from Atlanta.

In addition to what tomkarlo said, you might defer payment of bills due, but if you don't pay your workers, they won't show up the next week. In other words, as all microeconomists know, prioritize your variable costs.

Why would they need a dedicated ip? Wouldn't they just need SNI?

You're citing to a case that was overturned more than 40 years ago.[1] So I wouldn't really describe it as our 'philosophy' whatever that means. [1] http://www.oyez.org/cases/1960-1969/1968&#x2F
