Ha! along with the vast bulk of the internet... Google caches everything, and the NSA, and maybe Yahoo! and a few other companies. But I don't and won't buy Apple products. Over priced, over-hyped. If you want to ban them, knock yourselves out. But if you're using the internet at all...

Not true. They are well behind on just funding to NATO expected levels. The US has put pressure on them for years to increase funding to no avail. NATO target is 2% GDP, Germany is typically 1.2%, or about 60% of expected NATO spend. The problems are not treaty-related, they are with the...

Capable of not funding their military. No funding equals no capability.

I think you need to understand, @senheiser that one person supporting your opinion getting beat up does not justify your opinion. She should not get beat up, yes. But that doesn't make her right.

Excuse me, no. Free speech means being able to say your thing without getting beat up. This girl is a bit sick in the head, but that does not justify a beating.

I agree, I think the price will rebound eventually, but it will be hard times for oil exporters until then. I also think the rebound will not get oil back to it's previous price levels, given the work in alternative energies, increasing efficiencies (particularly in the developing world) and...

No No No No! Stay in Sri Lanka and suck working people there dry.

It is assembled in a Volvo plant. Per the Wikipedia article: General Electric produces 50% of the engine. Volvo RM12 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I would have to imagine those are parts that Volvo can't make themselves. I know that GE itself outsources a few critical parts that require...

First, I have said from the beginning that sanctions have nothing to do with oil prices, and won't break Russia in the near term. In the longer term it will have more of an impact, just as with Iran, it will impede oil exploration and investment in new projects. Oil money coming in (for...

Nice to see you cheering them on.

Official Website of Airshow China 2014 - The 10th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, Zhuhai, China They have a pretty poor website, but this page seems to indicate a couple of civil mfgs from the US: Bell -- 407GX Mooney --- new aircraft Gulfstream -- G280 and G650 Sirrus --...

Sanctions have nothing to do with it. It is all about supply and demand. If the world economy is suffering, people have less money to buy oil - the price goes down. If supply is cut (by sanctions or war), the price goes up. Recently, we (the world) are having an economic slowdown, worldwide...

Thinking a town you won't defend should have a name you pick it insane. Not your town, the locals can call it what they like. You won't help, your opinion doesn't matter.

Thank you. Interesting link, it is about as I suspected. GE has no good reason to help Volvo's bid, and Volvo can't do it without GE cooperation - the core is still an F404, which means they get parts from GE, ultimately.

When Turkey actually contributes to the defense of the town, they can have a say in the name. If they wait for it to be depopulated by ISIS, f*** off.

Dream on kid. Russia used to be able to trade oil for American labor at the rate of 1 barrel per 2 hrs of skilled labor, or 10hrs of unskilled labor. Now Russia can get only 2/3rds of that, or so. That is a real decline. Looked at another way, I as an an American, have to trade 1 hr of labor...

The company is American, it just has a British owner. The work was all being done in the US, by (mostly) Americans. So, calling it an American company is reasonably accurate, but not quite the whole story. But you're definitely correct about wetting your parents being an overreaction, and...

One of the reasons I like this board is that it drives me to learn new things. TIL that the Grippen is using an F414 variant (currently). It used to use the Volvo RM12. Apparently the original RM12 (design licensed from GE's F404 and modified) produces less power (the F414 is about 20% more...

I doubt it was the ISI, I would be looking at domestic groups with grievances.

RIP, condolences to the families of the dead. May God provide justice.
