    So lets just clear this up.
    Sony - http://www.snopes.com/business/names/sony.asp
    Bureau 121 - this is the "translation". Note that China has one also PLA Unit 61398. PLA Units often have names that mean more Asian. Like striking panda's of ultimate glory. But I am sure "Bridge over trouble waters" would sound as scary as Bureau 121. Note also that everyone knows stuxnet........but no one no's the US govt division that did the manual hack through it after stuxnet was released. Just that it was NCSD project. Stuxnet sounds cooler. Made my life a living hell for 2 years.

    They are already shitting bricks on F35. The lists of faults is bottomless from people having to fly blind due to instruments only being in HUD's and the HUDs failing, to the plane not able to fly in the rain/lightning. Also the HUD has a motion delay so if you turn your head to fast it flickers.
    But doesn't mean its not sexy.
    Snopes is a well known disinfo site... Sony is standard oil, its why they make such crap electronic gear and crap movies as they are oil company origin not creative or designers.

    The F35 faults are well known, and its definitely not sexy because of that. Its like that hot chick at the club who gave your mate the clap, she might have had her penicillian but your not going there ever....

    You sound like an angry old man who can't afford a good tv and never had sex with a hot woman. Just sayin.....
    Sony is as far from Oil as can be. To make matters worse for you Standard Oil was DEAD, thats right as in non-existent, not only 60 years before Sony existed, but 30 years before a transistor existed.
    So what you are claiming is the equivalent of saying the pyramids were made by Dinosaurs.

    Sony had been warned about their extremely lax electronic security a long time before this event. The choice was made to keep it "as is" and save some money Vs tighten and make it harder (but not impossible) to hack.
    Sadly their response is only going to promote more hacking.

    Now I've finished laughing and mopped up the spilt coffee I can respond.
    I'm not sure where you got the angry old man bit or the rest of it but you've really said more about yourself there I suspect, projecting your own perceived inadequencies and insecurities into an attempt at insult.
    Cant afford a good TV.... are you shittin me or what, they are ridiculously cheap now, the real problem is having the wall space and a room big enough for the correct viewing distance...
    As for hot woman lol I don't feel the need to objectify them as some trophy to brag about so I'm not even going to go there except to say your very wrong lol

    The Typhoons are better than the F35Bs will be anyway, so, what's the problem.....certainly a match for Su24s

    anyway - Ukraine - from Anatoly Karlin
    UKRAINE PREDICTIONS
    Geopolitically, 2015 will be crunch time for the Poroshenko regime. Short of massive Western support, a fiscal crisis is virtually certain.
    How will Poroshenko deal with it? A new assault against Novorossiya can't be excluded; military spending is rising to 5% of GDP. That's higher than any industrialized nation bar Israel. Totally mad for semi-bankrupt country like Ukraine, unless it's done for a specific, concrete purpose in mind. (The argument that it's just for defense against Russia is bogus. The DNR/LNR have no real offensive capability. The decision against invading Ukraine by Russia proper was taken back in April 2014 and since then the conditions for it have vastly deteriorated).

    A new war can explain economic failure and provide a smokescreen for intensification of crackdown on pro-Russian dissent in Ukraine. Unfortunately, pensioners & laid off public workers are no match for neo-Nazi thugs when it comes to street brawls. The neo-Nazis are in control of the power ministries and they will remain well fed to the very end. The West will of course turn a blind eye to all this, feigning ignorance or insisting that they are marginal political forces.

    IMO, there are two possible endings to the Euromaidan saga, which will actualize by next winter or 2016 at the latest:

    Scene 1: With the junta's popularity at all time low due to economic collapse, pro-Russian forces come to power. This can either come via a second Maidan (though I don't consider that likely, to be honest - see above), or via Poroshenko making a turnaround to ward off attacks from nationalist and/or populist forces, either on the streets or amongst his elites. Poroshenko is more of an apparatchik than an ideologue so this is a real possibility.

    Scene 2: Immiseration is ably countered with repression. Many dissenters and able-bodied Ukrainians leave for the EU or Russia, so you'll have fewer opponents - both of the economic and ideological variety - on the streets. If the junta survives 2016, I am sorry to say but chances are it will then stabilize and begin to recover. That's just the nature of things, sooner or later.

    Priorities.
    The -35 has just got clearance for the JMMBRU bomb rack for the SDB.
    Integrating systems is more complex and as an example, just look at the Apache and the sighting/control system that uses. Now couple that with the $1million helmet used by the pilot on the -35 and the complexity grows.

    All systems are labelled "dogs" by those without much knowledge (the media) in the initial stages of development and deployment to the forces. The -35 can manoeuvre better than an f-16 and is limited by the grey gooey blob up-front.

    That's not quite true now, is it dude? I mean; beer, antibiotics, plumbing, teh internet...

    And then, isn't it possible that you just figure humanity needs to learn shit because they don't agree with you?
