Shreeman,

An eye for eye as the old testament says. Let's see what happens. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well and thanks for the puns. Very clever of you.

Something may give but I'd bet my last red cent that even Putin is more sane than some of the advocacy in this room. No nuclear war, tactical or otherwise is happening. Sure, Turkey may be acting unilaterally or as a proxy for the US or NATO, but short of Russia shooting a Turkish plane or two or in...

Anant

Nuclear war eh? Sounds realistic to me. I love the vitriol in this room. A few years ago, folks on BR used to take the high ground and call PakDef a nutty website with crackpot theories. Good to know some in this room have come to that level. I'm sure the US and other nuclear powers will sit on thei...

Anant

TS, True but data indicates the weasel was surveilled, seen entering the vehicle and then shahidized. Also, the UK govt has notified next of kin of those executed. What is next is usually to get a hunk to dna test. Cats may have 9 lives but hellfires are good at debiting them quickly. Now, besides t...

Anant

TS, As an Iowan, we appreciate your kind words. We do pride ourselves on perfection and Keokuk is certainly a pretty river town. But I'm here because it seems Jihadi John has met his 72 in Raqqa due to the drone zone http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/12/politics/u-s-airstrike-targets-jihadi-john-in-syria/i...

Anant

Any more data from this mission? Nothing on facebook, twitter, official website. Maven's data also seems spotty by NASA but MOM seems stone cold silent.

Anant

Any idea what is going on with MOM? No news on any outlet since October 20th. Seems unusual.

Anant

While there may be plenty of racists out there, my friends and I, white, brown, Americans and Indians are all celebrating with beers. Space isn't a province of race. As an ABCD Indian, I love it. Congratulations ISRO and India!

Anant

Congrats NASA. Good luck ISRO!

Anant

Did you folks really pay attention to the interview? Fareed mentioned the visa denial, Gujurat riots and showed b roll footage.

Anant

It was Mosaic, developed in collaboration with the University of Illinois Supercomputing Center. Mozilla came far later and is an open source effort to go after Internet Explorer and resulted in the browser Firefox.

T. S. Subramaniam. The name of the author who wrote the article.

ShankarCag, you can go back and re-read the thread just as well as I can. The answer is ridiculously simple. Thanks.

Anant

Vijay, The Russian people themselves rejected communism. Capitalism and democracies, warts and all, are still better than communism in representing the will of the collective people. For all of the love of communism in this room, look at the naxals in India. What are they? By the way, for all you Ru...

Anant

A_Gupta, the truth may be stranger than fiction but mental illness is still mental illness. Let's not get into the argument of the absurd just because it's possible. And yes, the thing that differentiated this forum from the one that I won't name was to be civil and cultured. So regardless of their ...

Anant

Moderators, At one time, this forum prided itself on focusing on news sources that were established or at least validated. This was to differentiate this forum from the numerous other nutcase fora on the internet, which I won't mention. Nowadays, there are posts from users who are using sources that...

Anant

There's so much hate for the US in this room, it's almost palpable. I love to get my daily read of the Vladimir Putin Fan Club. Keep up the good work!

Anant

Habal, If we are going to float bizzaro theories then how do you know a fire didn't burn the cables that provide electrical power to ACARS, TCAS and the transponder while not effecting other avionics. Swiss Air pilots frittered around for hours as systems kept burning sequentially till they had no c...

Anant

A_Gupta, I would agree with you. But with some of the "news" sources pulled by Philip and others, one of which is some random woman's personal twitter account, we are rapidly headed to the Zeta Reticuli alien hijacking territory. This forum used to be a good sounding board for cogent ideas...

Anant

When I want my fill of bat $h__T crazy, this thread and the Ukraine one never disappoint. Keep 'em coming.

Occam's razor apparently never reached this thread.

Anant

Acharya, your graphic says Russia's first successful flight using a cryogenic engine was 1987. Really? DDMitis?

Anant

Nice article with some new facts:

1. Numerous modifications made, including making the rocket more robust.

2. On-board cameras were used. Obviously, we haven't seen the footage. Perhaps in future launches.

Congratulations to everyone who has toiled on this project and succeeded. Let's please leave the Paki crap or ancillary topics out of this thread. Happy day for all of us. On to bigger and better things. I am living for the day big mamma MKIII goes up.

Anant

Thank you everyone for the primer on the Cryogenic Upper Stage. I always learn something from the experts. I wish ISRO the best of luck on the 5th of January. Good luck!

Anant

Can someone tell me why the upper stage of the GSLV is cryogenic (CUS)? Other countries have used cryogenic engines on earlier stages in a rocket to lift heavy loads. I would love to know the rationale behind this configuration. Thank you and good luck to ISRO.

Anant

21st September huh?

Wow. You might want to post articles from websites that at least have a shred of credibility.

Anant

Someone who doesn't gas their children. What gives you the supposition that Syria's minorities are doing well now?

Anant

Why do I care what Jennifer Rubin has to say? The fact of the matter is that Ass-ad's days are numbered. Whether he gets killed by rebels, his own circle or my preference a Tomahawk or a jdam is immaterial. He is the walking dead. And I, and many others, will celebrate the death of a child killing c...

Anant

So the thesis of this room finally emerges. It's not so much that Ass-ad is a butchering, barbaric, lunatic, children killing dictator. It's that America is that much worse so Ass-ad gets a pass. Wonderful. And the Russians apparently have no blood on their hands even though Stalin killed more peopl...

Anant

Lilo, I am quite aware of Union Carbide. I am also aware of Boeing's complicity in having defective altimeters in Air India's crash in the Arabian Sea. I don't think I have ever advocated that the American government or their actions were above review. Far from it. Many Americans, Indian or otherwis...

Anant

Lilo, Please don't let my posts result in cognitive dissonance. There are plenty of American war criminals who deserve their just desserts. I hold no praise for Bush and Iraq either. Regardless two wrongs don't make a right. For now, I'll stick with Ass-ad. In the near future, perhaps fortune will b...

Anant

Habal, It doesn't matter what I gain or lose. It is what humanity gains. The fact that a person could gas innocent men, women and especially children is beyond the pale of civility. Get it? Tell me what part of this is obtuse to you. And no it doesn't matter one iota who did it. As the ruler of the ...

Anant

Bashar Ass-ad will be pulling a Qadaffy-duck soon. Effectively defanged of his chemical weapons, his edge against the rebels will be eroded. Sovereignty will also be in the toilet. The US will arm the rebels and whatever conventional weapons advantage the Syrian army had will be gone or soon going. ...

Anant

Habal I'd love to meet you in Damascus once the roaches are gone. Please don't sob when Ass-ad is missing a major body part.

Anant

Who cares what who said. America and India have a healthy relationship regardless of the vitriol in this room. Now let's watch Ass-ad do his best imitation of a mole rat.

Anant

Amyrao

Please post when the French planes are actually in Iaf livery. Till then let's enjoy Ass-ad getting bombed.

Anant

Amyrao

In contrast to the constant paranoia in this forum about American weapons systems, the IAF loves them. I'd rather trust their assessment. There is a reason why the lca is mated to an American engine not Russian one. Nuff said. Now back to worshiping Ass-ad as a hero.

Anant

The only perspective I bring is to watch this thread implode when bff of many here Ass-ad gets his head popped off on the gallows ala Saddam or knife up the butt like qadaffy duck. Will be like three mile Island here. In the meantime the iaf buys more c17's, c130's and American engines. Apparently, ...

Anant

Habal The only thing special is the stuff you smoke before posting. Keep up the good work. You're my source of unending amusement. Your so called brave Russians are now running like a dog with its tail between his legs trying to save that looser Ass-ad from eating some Tomahawks. Nuclear weapon. Fun...
