JSF doesn’t do too well

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) staged an excercise pitting the JSF against the 4th generation russian fighters and it got it’s arse handed to it in the turning game. Link goes to the movie. Memorable quotes are:

“The report says the JSF is: “‘Double inferior’ relative to modern Russian/Chinese fighter designs in visual range combat.” And has “Inferior acceleration, inferior climb, inferior sustained turn capability.”

It concludes that the JSF: “Can’t turn, can’t climb, can’t run.”

and dogfighting it is:

“like clubbing baby seals”

I’ve been saying it enough – JSF is a dud!

Poker sites ripping off

Online poker sites Absolute Poker and UltimateBet have had a security flaw in them, which allowed certain players to see the hole cards of all the other players. An Australian, Michael Josem, used statistical analysis to prove that certain accounts were winning around 100 times more often than other accounts. Now there’s a whole suing clusterfuck, where the state is suing the owners of the sites, who are suing the makers of the sites. Employees are being fired and even the World Series of Poker winner Russ Hamilton has been implicated as being a cheater.
