Together and he is not a very long time, but I feel very comfortable. He was sometime as a child, lovely, simple, not too many worries, likes a fish in a pure travel freely in the sea. He often took his only cheap GW gold send to me. His world simple, but he is happy.

And I apply a new number, I prepared to play with her, upgrade and earn cheap rappelz rupees together. I felt she is a good girl, I decided I must change myself for her. Later, we often played together, and we are very happy. She also became my wife. But after a few time, I met many things, I was very sad, and I did not spent a long time to play the game. I did not often to play with her. Finally, I said to her, I will leave the game. I let her find another husband. She was very sad, when I left the game, she also left.

I always adhere to and keep a distance from everyone. Until now, I did not have a true friend, although I was a lonely, although I did not like the other players that they have many friends send them cheap zeny, I must be rely on myself, at least I will not hurt anybody, and perhaps this is kind of happiness.

I love UAVs and probaly have more than a slightly greater experience with them than 99.9+% out there. They have their limitations and always will. As to "AI" and the ramifications of replacing manned aircraft in all applications, I am in agreement with Roger Penrose on that topic: Intelligence cannot be reduced purely to Ones and Zeros. I've often wondered why the Navy, with it's emphasis on net-centric warfare doesn't work to get rid of most of the carriers in the first place and replace them with a 'Distributed Air Wing'?(copyright claim! - I'm the only one I've ever heard use this terms over the years) This will eliminate the big deck carrier as a juicy target, allow the wing to 'keep on keeping on' after losing a ship, and open more $ for more ships, True you lose range with the STOVL, but you could operate closer to begin with, and there are other technical approaches that could be fielded. Actually, I know the answer already: Tradition and the Navy Way!

Why oh why do people keep insisting on making these things stealth?
Use the front line stealth aircraft (B-2, F-22, F-35) to kick in the door and destroy the enemies comm, sam, and AAA capability, and any targets that absoposititively have to die no matter how well defended they are.
Then use hordes of cheap, reliable, less then stellar performing UAVs to decimate the rest of the targets, such as bridges, powerstations, and targets that just ain’t worth risking a more expensive manned aircraft.
High low ratio people. Top budget manned Strategic and Air Dominance assets teamed with low end reliable bomb trucks and dogfighters. (Something has to be there to intercept the little lost Cessnas’ and steer them away from the theatre.

The Navy wants to develop a UAV M-16 styled that is stealth that is able a carry a nuclear bomber at mach 6x the speed of sound without a pilot where the plan can crash on sight on the Target when the day comes when we have to develpe a sqauderun F-16 UAV’s to attack China when they decide to take Tiawan.

The Navy has unmanned strike aircraft since the mid 1970s.
They are called: BGM-109 Tomahawks

The future of airpower is drones so cheap that they are barely more expensive than the missiles used to shoot them down. We aren’t there yet– but with the declining cost of carbon fiber and electronics it’s not inconceivable that a carrier could hold 200 or more drones. After all, they are small enough to stack…

Good Evening Folks,
The Navy has seen the future, it’s not going to have 12 carriers most likely not even 10 carriers in the future, the F-18 series is most likely the last manned air dominance fighter that it will get and a less then 250 ship Navy seems in the future.
The Navy will have to do more with less capitalization and fewer sailors, manned carrier Air Wings are to the modern Navy the same as the Horse Cavalry was to the 20th. Century Army. Ships will have smaller crews and will be at sea more and longer. There is no other choice then to invest in technology.
ALLONS,
Byron Skinner
