It's not meant to be a true 5th generation fighter if at all. If a prototype comes out, and it is likely given the fact they've already produced a decent mockup, you'll see it'll be more of a cheap, subsonic, low altitude jet fighter with a similar role to the Su-25 or the German HE-162...

Are mainland Chinese interested in Bollywood movies that have characters spontaneously rise up in song? I never liked Western musical movies much either, the old classics were fine though. Chinese movie-goers are becoming more savvy and like Hi-tech movies with good CG.

That's the sound of money, and falling stock prices. Coincidentally, Google CEO visits North Korea.

What China really desires is South Korean neutrality in Asia and of course, the withdrawal of American troops from the peninsula. China would prefer turning North Korea into an economic satellite and a buffer state, with its SOEs dominating the North Korean economy. This would be enticing for...

The only statement I have made is that the government is able to track you using GPS. And tracking you through the use of GPS data is GPS tracking. The ease that law enforcement and the government can access such data is part of the concern. But thanks for clarifying your point.

They can easily pull the GPS data from your phones from the carriers and service providers. Isn't that tracking? Logging your GPS location data and transmitting it through other means is still tracking no matter how you look at it. Unless you're arguing about semantics how it isn't GPS...

The fact stands that the GPS/BDS systems can be used as a method of tracking citizens, passive or otherwise. The government can pull your phone location data from carrier providers without the need to notify you. Concerns of GPS data is just one aspect of the greater discussion on the ability...

Oh wow... Woman Says 9/11 Led to Hate-Crime Subway Murder, DA Says - Bloomberg That's really messed up. This is a hate crime then.

The point is that governments everywhere already have the technology to track your every move. And they have used it whenever they want to. We're not much different from animals with RFID tags. And oops, you're right, they changed the law this year to require a search warrant for GPS tracking.

The US government can track you using GPS as well. In fact, it's perfectly legal for the US government to stick a GPS tracker on your car and follow you without a warrant. People who are paranoid of governments wouldn't use GPS anyway.

Religion. The Spanish are to blame with the Reconquista and the Inquisition.

The fact is that the electronic cigarette wasn't a redesign. It operates on a different principle from the 1963 patent. That's not an incremental development, which covers the majority of patents in the world. Or you could say there's no such thing as innovation anyway, as inventions are all...

There's quite alot of inventions, but most are simply design and manufacturing patents. For real breakthroughs, The Chinese are proud to invent the world's first electronic cigarette. :yahoo: Yet no-one uses them, what a shame. And also maglev wind turbines.

Haha, I had a look at the original thread in the Chinese history forum. The guy who produced the data simply selected data that supported his argument. Even comparing figures from different historians who used completely different measurement standards. You can't do that for any sort of...

Horrible. Don't riot police usually just form a shield wall to block protesters? Imagine the bloodshed if the girl actually died... You would have seen a pogrom on migrant workers.

Japan's 'scientists' got off fairly well from their human experimentation on Chinese, Korean and Allied POWs. The infamous Unit 731 comes to mind. Read this horrible passage: Unit 731 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They were granted immunity by MacArthur and the US in exchange...

The Chinese economy is reacting to such a change by moving up the manufacturing value chain. Essentially, low-cost goods are being outsourced out of China into the rest of Asia and Africa. China still maintains a great advantage in cheap educated labor and infrastructure levels far in excess...

It'll be better if India exceeds China's growth due to competitiveness and reforms rather than exceeding China's growth because China's economy tanks and goes the way of Japan.

Manslaughter of 15 people and everyone gets off? I only hope that the Bus company gets sued to hell for all those deaths. Sympathies to those who are maimed for life, especially the guy who lost both arms.

Israel doesn't want Hamas destroyed. The Israeli government just wants Hamas to exist as a manageable threat which they can continue to use to scare people and shore up support. They would rather have Hamas speak for Palestine over Fatah. This way, there would be no need for any serious...
