A lot of DARPA money is being dumped into making uav's autonomous. To pretend larger drones like the x-47b are not being designed with autonomous capabilities is a bit disingenuous. They are no more immoral than air dropped mines and will be great for area denial. Very long term of course one...

I never said they would do it. I said they were the only one with a functional plan. Not really sure where you got those numbers. GDP growth was solid and the economy was growing. I don't see any government cuts either. http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?v=66&c=ca&l=en...

Actually the NDP plan on cutting about 600 million a year until they reach solvency. A cut of 0.5% annually. But don't let that get in the way of a good rant. Cutting more than growth is needlessly harsh on everyone. If you do that the economy shrinks and that gains momentum just like economic...

Hudak's plan is ideological. Shrinking the economy by cutting too quickly will send it into a death spiral. The Federal Cons try to match cuts to slightly less than the growth rate for just this reason. This is basic economics 101.  Hudak and Horvath are lightweights and ideologues. Corrupt but...

The Barrie Country Club is very affordable. It's only 10k to join. Minimum 4000$ a year spent on food and drink not including annual membership fees. He is throwing the game right? He must not want a minority and plans to win the election after this one. He can't be this out of touch.

Wynne certainly made the right choice when she decided the NDP was her only real opposition. Her platform is further progressive left than any NDP platform in Canada. Hudak's platform is to cut 1.4% of all the jobs in Ontario, 13% of all provincially funded jobs. Even if that was his plan what...

Harper will kill the Conservatives brand for a decade at this rate. Mulroney part 2. Throw him overboard before he drags everyone with him.  Being a douchebag is not a Conservative value.

The majority of the Supremes were appointed by Harper himself. 5 of 9. Chief Justice was appointed by Mulroney. One was appointed by Chretien and one by Martin. One spot is empty. If Harper's hand picked judges didn't support him clearly he screwed up.

He is a living political satire ridiculing everything that is wrong with politics. If he were a character in a movie he would be too over the top to be believable.

One of those former mayors had a wife who was a kleptomaniac. It took a lot of work to keep that out of the papers. He was the one who never tipped in restaurants. Ford was such a mess and so terrible at corruption he was like a whiff of honesty despite himself. Ford was such a train wreck I...

Harper is killing Conservative credibility. If this keeps up he'll run the party into the ground and then bail like Mulroney. He has outlived his usefulness and become a liability.

They are also reviewed by a nurse who makes 2/3rds(or less depending on hospital OT) what my wife makes as a nurse at the hospital. Make sure the doc explains what the test results mean. Does VAC even still have docs who call you in for a diagnosis? They hated the job when I went through the...

The MP investigations I have seen have not been ideal. Most have not had enough real crimes to investigate to have sufficient experience. Made worse by the fact that some in uniform still think such behavior is acceptable. The 5 a day undercuts the seriousness of actual rape though. Perhaps we...

Having superpowers slug it out is not a great plan. We need rule of law and economic sanctions not brute force.  The best solution is for the nations of Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and India to form a mutual protection pact.  Combined they are a match for China.  The land grabs...

If I want to blow off some pounds what I eat is more important than how much. I've lost about 45 pounds of fat during my injury recovery. The thing I discovered was ketosis. You can waste thousand paying for the Dr Bernstien diet which is exactly this. You pancreas is not designed to process...

Over thirty years ago I was given a strange little "Boker" knife(already old then) and told that it would be the most useful knife I would ever own. I think it is the most handy blade I've ever had.  Does this type of knife have a specific name? I'm not sure if Boker was simply the manufacturer...

Another revelation that makes you wonder who your friends are. I want Dallaire to name the MP's who want to cut. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/04/04/senator-romeo-dallaire-pissed-off-at-conservative-mps-complaining-veterans-cost-too-much/ Senator Romeo Dallaire ‘pissed off’ at Conservative...

I have been paleo on and off for two years as well. I tried bringing things back a few at a time. Dairy is fine for me. Legumes I can do a few days a week, but grains make me feel like crap and give me tummy problems. It was definitely worth trying. Counting calories seems like a waste of time. ...

I upgraded to a home cloud when I bought a new router. Cheap at only 150$ and 10$ a month for increased upload bandwidth.  I put an  external HDD on the router and an app on the families tablets/cell phones and done. You can even run a Bittorrent client on the router to save on your electric...

It started as a yeast then 50,000 changes were made to it's DNA. They then ran it through 150 generations to test their work. You can imagine the defense and security implications of being able to code a self replicating bioweapon and email it somewhere to be synthesized. I think Suffield needs...
