I want to hurry up and sell the Beefwhore, so I can buy a Bugatti H6 VeyBACK.

I want a LASER jet!

"In what one can only assume is the first step towards developing a fully functional fleet of Star Destroyers, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has recently announced that it is looking to test fighter jets equipped with laser turrets as early as 2014. Lockheed Martin won the $9.5 million contract from DARPA and is currently working on phase three of the Aero-Adaptive/Aero-Optic Beam Control project, which would allow tactical aircraft to fire mounted lasers, through extreme turbulence, at enemies coming from behind."

Did you see the /b/ petition that racked up like 50,000 votes for Obama to build a Death Star? The white house had a hilarious response.

You can't talk about something that cool and not link us up.

[B4TT]

hahahaha what did they respond?

[ams]

Yeah, it fooking sucks. I'm thinking about salary sacrificing through work. The only problem with that is, is that it has to be new, or within 7 years old and I have NFI what I would buy.

Definitely go a TDI Golf with the DSG box.

Will never look back.

OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOSecure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.

This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For

By Paul Shawcross

The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:

• The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
• The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
• Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

However, look carefully (here's how) and you'll notice something already floating in the sky -- that's no Moon, it's a Space Station! Yes, we already have a giant, football field-sized International Space Station in orbit around the Earth that's helping us learn how humans can live and thrive in space for long durations. The Space Station has six astronauts -- American, Russian, and Canadian -- living in it right now, conducting research, learning how to live and work in space over long periods of time, routinely welcoming visiting spacecraft and repairing onboard garbage mashers, etc. We've also got two robot science labs -- one wielding a laser -- roving around Mars, looking at whether life ever existed on the Red Planet.

Keep in mind, space is no longer just government-only. Private American companies, through NASA's Commercial Crew and Cargo Program Office (C3PO), are ferrying cargo -- and soon, crew -- to space for NASA, and are pursuing human missions to the Moon this decade.

Even though the United States doesn't have anything that can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, we've got two spacecraft leaving the Solar System and we're building a probe that will fly to the exterior layers of the Sun. We are discovering hundreds of new planets in other star systems and building a much more powerful successor to the Hubble Space Telescope that will see back to the early days of the universe.

We don't have a Death Star, but we do have floating robot assistants on the Space Station, a President who knows his way around a light saber and advanced (marshmallow) cannon, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is supporting research on building Luke's arm, floating droids, and quadruped walkers.

We are living in the future! Enjoy it. Or better yet, help build it by pursuing a career in a science, technology, engineering or math-related field. The President has held the first-ever White Housescience fairs and Astronomy Night on the South Lawn because he knows these domains are critical to our country's future, and to ensuring the United States continues leading the world in doing big things.

If you do pursue a career in a science, technology, engineering or math-related field, the Force will be with us! Remember, the Death Star's power to destroy a planet, or even a whole star system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

My 70km drive takes 45 mins. And there are 2 sets of traffic lights and 2 roundabouts

[Delete This Account]

I have a 14km Scooter ride to work that takes about 23 minutes.

And that's going through the middle of the city.

Because Adelaide.

Adam, your dog has a foul mouth on him.

A family has survived a terrifying late-night home invasion by gumen in Sydney's eastern suburbs, police say.
A shot was fired by one of three intruders who barged into the house in Malabar early on Tuesday.
"The reality is, you're firing what we believe to be a shotgun within a house," he told reporters outside Maroubra Police Station.
"We are very lucky that someone wasn't killed in this incident."

..... THEY EVEN MISS WITH SHOTGUNS! THAT SPRAY 'ing HURTY SHIT EVERYWHERE! How do you manage that?

I wouldnt mind a V8 TBH. I do like V8s

Just not a shitty Holden 5L. They are shit motors. My old VP SS had a 5L, that was a 355 stroker, and that thing was terrible.

[B4TT]

V8's sounda vera nice!
