You didn't answer the question: what are 20 F-35s (about 1/3 of the proposed planes are flying and operation at any one time) going to do against the Northern Fleet and the planes from the northern bases?

The F-35 is a strike fighter with limited speed, range and durability given its single engine -- especially operating in the Arctic.
Russia who still attempt to do invasion flights into our national airspace.
Ignoring the laughable paranoia involved in the above quote, what do you suppose, at most, 20 operational F-35s are going to do against the Northern Fleet and the air support of the northern bases?
Ah, another Anonymous Coward Conservative -- courage of your convictions from the shadows!
Uh, sure
It's kinda scary imagining what speciesist means to a jackal-headed man.
When the ship is headed toward an iceberg and the captain is being stubborn or unaware, the best course of action is often evacuation.
Otherwise, it's just like throwing chairs on the Titanic?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Speaking of which, I've ordered a pair for great granny from Costco -- 12 channel Rexton for a person with a great deal of loss in several frequencies @ less than CAN$1000 each, i.e., check out discount retailers as well.

Link? I found the MS page for MBA recruitment but is there a story directly linking Ballmer with the drive for MBAs?
It's not just legislation that affects data retention -- common law also determines policy as well.
For example, in dentistry, legislation says 10 years for x-rays, study models, etc. But past legal wrangling in the dental community means we're holding onto stuff for at least 15 years.

That's because we've evolved to use unsigned 32-bit counters. Maybe the girl's evolved to 64 bits?
Already alarmed over funding cuts to basic research, scientists say two appointments in particular are worrisome. Mark Mullins, the executive director of the conservative-leaning Fraser Institute — and a former adviser to the Canadian Alliance Party — was recently appointed to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), which funds university research projects that have included studies on climate change.
On the same day Dr. Mullins was appointed to NSERC, April 23, another skeptic of global warming was appointed to the board of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, which funds large research projects. John Weissenberger is a close friend of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a former chief of staff in the Harper government and a geologist who works for Husky Energy in Alberta.
This isn't the first time this government has made such "strategic" appointments and it certainly is a curious coincidence with cut in operations funding for the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences.
Ok, now where are all the funny funny modding moderators?
Not really enough money in the pot for the CG to keep a modern fleet and perform all of it's various rolls.
