I know S.W.A.T. is an older movie but on someone’s recommendation I not only went to rent it but I bought it. It was absolutely terrible so this comic would probably be a better movie than the first. Enjoy the sequel.
GUILLEMOTS and gannets do it. Cormorants and kingfishers do it. Even the tiny insect-eating dipper does it. And if a plan by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) succeeds, a remarkable airplane may one day do it too: plunge beneath the waves to stalk its prey, before re-emerging to fly home.
The DARPA plan, announced in October 2008, calls for a stealthy aircraft that can fly low over the sea until it nears its target, which could be an enemy ship, or a coastal site such as a port. It will then alight on the water and transform itself into a submarine that will cruise under water to within striking distance, all without alerting defences.
That, at least, is the plan. The agency is known for taking on brain-twistingly difficult challenges. So what about DARPA’s dipper? Is it a ridiculous dream? “A few years ago I would have said that this is a silly idea,” says Graham Hawkes, an engineer and submarine designer based in San Francisco. “But I don’t think so any more.”
DARPA, which has a $3 billion annual budget, has begun to study proposed designs. In the next year or so it could begin allocating funding to developers. Though the agency itself is unwilling to comment, Hawkes and others working on rival designs have revealed to New Scientist how they would solve the key problems involved in building a plane that can travel under water – or, to put it another way, a flying submarine.
I am one of many people looking forward to the highly anticipated Star Wars MMO. It is set 300 years after the original Star Wars knights of the Old Republic and 3,000 years before Star Wars The Phantom Menace. There are many aspects of why I am looking forward to this game mainly because it is Star Wars, but also because I am hoping that it lives up to what all the hype. We need a competitor to the most dominating MMO of all time WOW. One can only hope.
We talked Lebron James and where is going. We also talked about the World Cup, had a ton of movie reviews and much more….
