Yeah...fascinating world really. But it's not how things works.

You don't have to look far in history to see that. before the US became the clear world leader, it was a time of war and conflict almost everywhere in the world. In fact, just in the last decade, with less than 5% of the world population in conflict, we are living during the most peaceful time in history (counter-intuitive, I know).

Maybe, one time, the humanity will change enough so all armies will be dismantled. But, for now, we need hat the US stay the clear leader for a little more longer.

I'm quite sure the military said the same thing to Churchill when they showed him the plan for the HMS Prince of Wales and as I said, in the past battleship were equipped for powerful close encounter that worked well...until a new technology (aircraft carrier) make them irrelevant. You don't see much battleship these day.

My point is, even if we may see a few dogfight if a war erupt, will it still be a relevant factor in that conflict? Because, as for now, the Dogfighting capability of fighters seem to be less than 0.01% of total uses.

Yeah....I've saw the Vietnam example time and time again...but it's closest to WW2 than today (1954-1975). It's already 40 years ago.

The closest Dogfighting recorded is in 1999 during the Balkans conflict, but it was 5 untrained pilot from Yugoslav Air Force again the US. Not what I would consider a decent reference.

Unlike Fallout's motto, war changes.

If a war were to break up, is Dogfighting really "the" efficient way to take care of fighter? With all new modern weaponry (AAM, SAM, laser etc.) I'm not completely sure if this feature is still relevant in modern time.

I mean, the british may had the most advanced battleship of its time during WW2, they still got utterly destroyed by aircraft carrier.

I'm interested and curious since this was modded 4-Insightful. How exactly the falcon 1 "sucked hard"? Can you elaborate?

It's....interesting how...well informed you are in the matter

Yeah...I was thinking about doing the same thing but nah, too big, might kill someone.

I'm surprised that you summarize this awesome game like this. Except for a few small and open map, you can't really use this strategy (and it's easily countered by any equally skilled player).

My personal favorite was always a map called Drake's Ravine (http://supcom.wikia.com/wiki/Drake%27s_Ravine). Basically two elevated base separated by a huge ravine that favour defense and where you need to control that ravine and it's resource to gain an edge. Again a skilled player the game almost always reach end-game where the one with the most nuke and huge experimental killer machine wins.

Don't get me wrong, I care a damn lot about the planet, but is recycling help the planet that much?

I mean, in 2014
How much % of world total pollution is avoided because of recycling?
How much % of world total greenhouse gas is avoided because of recycling?
How much % of world total landfill is avoided because of recycling?

And I mean the real number that are recycled, not the quantity that enter recycling center because half is sent to the landfill anyway and another half is lost in the transforming process (except maybe aluminium and some others)

Unless someone convince me of recycling efficiency, I think we should start thinking about other mean.I know there's still a lot of issue, but plasma gasification seem to have a bigger potential than recycling.

I mean c'mon, most of the community know that the moron lie to his people all the time.

Eventually he won't be able to hide the truth when access to communication will be more and more easily available and his "realm" will eventually revolt and head straight into a civil war. But until then, he could blather he fucked the president dog to show dominance for all I care.

Even if it look like a dumb post with an humoristic purpose, I seriously love this idea and I really wonder, light electron's mass problem aside, if it could ever be realizable.

If you dislike the idea of long-range transportation without windows, I have bad news for you...

Really? Are you seriously so close-minded to think of this as a problem? I guess you got this idea by taking airliner as reference which is simply dumb. The reason why airliner need onboard air supply is because there's not air available in case the cabin pressurisation fail. But in Hyperloop case, engineering emergency exit system seem far more logical than oxygen mask.

Yeah...if they ever present a working prototype, I'm sure they'll simply "forgot" to address safety issue like "what will happens if the Hyperloop fail (or hit an iceberg) in the middle of the desert?"

Great, but how about marking as malware every bundled software that come with an installer? It doesn't seem complicated to me, it I install SomeProgram.exe then any other software unrelated to SomeProgram.exe should be marked as malware and removed.
