PAK FA T-50 is the Russian's answer to the American F-22 Raptors. It was design to directly compete with the American F-22 Raptor and American/British F-35 Lightning II. The T-50 performed its first flight January 29, 2010. A side by side comparison between T-50(on the left) and F-22 (on the right). Most of the electronics warfare and counter warfare and weaponry is still classified. But is it safe to say that since it is a 5th generation fighter stealth is included in the design. As far as weaponry goes, the new jet can also carry two long-range missiles developed by the Novator Bureau which can hit targets within a 400 kilometer range. It is said to be much more cheaper to produce and maintain compare to the American's F-22. Since the T-50 is still on testing ground the exact technical specs are classified. But a general concept of the specs are as below: General characteristics:- * Crew: 1 * Length: 22 m (72 ft) * Wingspan: 14.2 m (46.5 ft) * Height: 6.05 m (19.8...

The F-35 is intended to be the world's premier strike aircraft through 2040, with close- and long-range air-to-air capability second only to that of the F-22 Raptor....

Your culture hit for today.

Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour or spread gossip. In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." 'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance. "That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. ...

Marriage

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. She goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee. "What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?" The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 18?" he asks solemnly. "Yes I do" she replies. The husband pauses; the words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the garden?" "Yes! I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him. The husband continued. "Do you remember when he showed the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to j...

Missed (But Not Missed By) The Bus

(13 August 2009, Quebec, Canada) A 24-year-old woman was ironically successful in her attempt to catch a bus in Quebec City. Clutching a can of pop, the woman ran into a restricted area and tried to flag down 45-foot bus that had left on time--without her. As she tried her best to get herself noticed, she herself failed to notice that the bus was making a swift turn in her direction. A veteran driver said that drivers cannot hear anything over the sound of their engines. The woman was disappeared beneath the wheels of the turning bus, and it was obvious to a former nurse who rushed to her aid that she was no longer able to concern herself with getting there on time. Considering that you have to do something really stupid to get squished by a bus in a transit center--such as sneaking into a restricted area and running under the tires--the bus company does not plan to increase security. A spokesperson said the woman should never have been in the parking lot. Instead of riding home in a c...

Apple iPad

Image
Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the company's much-anticipated iPad tablet computer just recently, calling it a new third category of mobile device that is neither smart phone nor laptop, but something in between. Just imagine iPhone but supersize it. You'll get the picture. The price tag for 1 of Apple iPad will start at USD499, a price tag far below the USD1,000. 16 GB models start at $499 for the Wi-fi version, while $629 is the price tag for the 3G version. Not bad. Though the 3G data plan is sold separately , so please bear that in mind when deciding on this. It should be out on the market in two months. The accessory list includes various items like stands, and docks. There a keyboard dock; very useful so your screen doesn’t get riddled with fingerprints all over it. Speaking of keyboards, the virtual, touchscreen keyboard on this thing looks like it will work better than the iPhone’s. Read More

The L word

Agree or disagree with this little thought as you will as it depends on how one view/treasure the little things in life. Besides H-A-T-E, L-O-V-E; another powerful four letter word in the English dictionary that can give us inspiration, hope, destruction or the butterfly in the stomach effect. There are people whom you can’t imagine what they’re capable of doing, in the name of love. Lucky and blessed are those who love and be loved in return. We cannot expect or ask someone to love us back that’s’ the truth of it. Reality bites and yes, it is happening. It is difficult to find someone whom you’ll find connection with, will accept and love you for who and what you are. Soul mate or true love is just a fairytale for some people who never experienced or failed to be loved in return. I must say in my personal opinion, that true love and/or soul mate come just once in a blue moon. So, if you found one, don’t let him/her go… hold him/her very close to your heart and treasure the moment toge...

Dog food

Bob got 2 dogs. He recently bought a large bag of Meaty Bites at Big W and was standing in line at the check-out. A woman behind him asked if he had a dog. On impulse, Bob told her that no, that in fact he was starting The Meaty Bites Diet again, although he probably shouldn't because he'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that he'd lost 25 kgs before he woke in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of his orifices and IV's in both arms. Bob told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load her pants pockets with Meaty Bites and simply eat one or two every time she feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so he was going to try it again. Bob notice that by now practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with Bob's story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if Bob ended up in the hospital in that condition because he had been poisoned by the food. Bob tol...

Double Trouble

While walking through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, a man came upon another man hugging a tree with his ear firmly against the tree. Seeing this he inquired, "Just out of curiosity, what the heck are you doing?" "I'm listening to the music of the tree," the other man replied. "You've gotta be kiddin' me." "No, would you like to give it a try?" Understandably curious, the man says, "Well, OK..." So he wrapped his arms around the tree and pressed his ear up against it. With this, the other guy slapped a pair of handcuffs on him, took his wallet, jewelry, car keys, then stripped him naked and left. Two hours later another nature lover strolled by, saw this guy handcuffed to the tree stark naked, and asked, "What the heck happened to you?" He told the guy the whole terrible story about how he got there. When he finished telling his story, the other guy shook his head in sympathy, walked around behind him, kissed h...

CIA Special Activities Division (SAD)

Image
A blogger friend of mine from ahdeedas blogspot recently blog about 1:6 scale Soldier Story CIA SAD Night OPS Version 2. The 1:6 scale version of the CIA SAD operators (as my blogger friend mention and shown) does look awesome and cool but reality is far from what's shown. CIA SAD operators appearances are far from military regular standard looks of clean shave facial hair and crew cut hair style. They are normal looking paramilitary who does not dress up as the normal infantry would such as uniform or uses any of the standard issue assault riffle from the United States Armed Forces for it's combatants. Very rarely the CIA SAD operator is seen with any standard issue items from the United states Armed forces. They need,will and have to blend in with the crowds in order to achieve their task or missions. Little is known about the CIA covert unit. They are one of America's most secretive and lowest profile special ops organizations. The Special Activities Division, sometimes...

Rip off by any other name is still a rip off no matter what's the argument is about. Not even in the animation world is safe from China's-don’t-give-a-rat’s-arse-with-copyright-laws. Animation fans across Asia have been quick to notice that the upcoming Chinese animated series call Astro Plan bears a striking resemblance to Macross Frontier. Look familiar???they took last years best anime and gave it a new name, add some fraking ugly characters and TA-DA, you get next Chinese hit…"An Epic Failure"... So what's next after the epic failure of an anime??games??It'll probably be available on the Chintendo( China equivalent of Nintendo) or Chinbox150 if it ended up a game. With all the woo-haas going around, the question does comes down to is anyone really going to watch this garbage?But then again is a big big world and who knows maybe some perverted brain dead socialite might just get hook on to it. As for the rest of us maybe it will be fun under the influence o...

TDI Vector Kriss Super V

Image
The Kriss Super V submachine gun was developed by Transformational Defense Industries (TDI). It is currently an experimental weapon. The name Kriss comes from "Kriss" refers to a Southeast Asian fighting dagger. This weapon is intended to provide operators with improved control over accuracy and bullet dispersion, in both semi-automatic and full automatic modes, while firing hard-hitting .45 ACP ammunition. TDI refers to the operating system as the Kriss Super V. The system claims to compensate for recoil by utilizing moving parts that travel down into a recess behind the magazine. This means they travel vertically and forces encountered when they reach the end of their travel act downward, reducing muzzle rise.This feature minimizes muzzle climb after each shot. It also uses a moving weight attached to the bolt, to divert recoil force to the bottom. It also employs hydraulic buffer assembly to decrease rate of fire. This submachine gun is fitted with "Picatinny" ra...

Battlestar Galactica now closer than you think

Image
Battlestar Galactica fans are definitely going to dig this PC case mod. Short of spooling up the FTL’s and jumping, or having the firepower to take out an entire Cylon Baseship, I think this tricked out tower can do everything the actual Battlestar Galactica could do on the show. Behind the BSG logo on the front is a side-loading optical DVD drive, visible even when spinning and beautifully lit from within with some crafty LED’s. A truly master piece if i may say so myself....it is a scale down of some parts of the battlestar galactica. It includes landing bay, dradius, battlestar logo and battlestar aft engines. I hope that's the FTL timer clock!!! Dradius contact!!!!I always wanted to say that..any who the display panel is similar to the ones that we saw in every episode of battlestar galactica series.. It has engine ports too!!!How freaking awesome is that??!!The top is a scaled down version of the landing strip with appropriately lit details. I really couldn’t admire the craft...
