This thread is one of the worst examples I've seen of a simple question
turning into a hyper-elaborated megillah.

Looks like a lot of people have too much time on their hands.

If one took all the time, energy, expertise, and brain power expended on
this thread, I betcha it would be almost enough to duck tape them thar
wires to the battery.

The promblem is that the Septics believe their own war films...for
example, 'U-571'.

What superior technology? Lucas?

A giant US engineering company, TRW, put its best brains to work to develop
a successful electric power steering system. They spent a long time and many
millions of dollars. In the end they had to go out and buy the technology
from a little British outfit. Guess who that was? It's now the world most
successful electric power steering system.

Now who the hell was it....

Oh, yes. Lucas.

That's odd, I know it's a work of fiction and not a documentary.
Even as a small child, I knew that Superman was not a real person.
Perhaps some people believe everything they read or see in movies
and TV shows. I have found that many Europeans get their stereotypical
opinion of the Southeast U.S. from the media and when they visit,
are surprised that there is no constant banjo music and a Negro

The US military also purchased the rights to build the Harrier Jump Jet.
I think there has been a lot of technology going in both directions. So
be fair about it, The UK is a great place.

Indeed, no constant banjo music or Negro's hanging from trees.

Just lots of extremely large people and restaurants that all think you
haven't eaten for months.
I guess the trees couldn't withstand the weight, so the Negro's just
dropped to the ground.

No "superior technology" has come out of GB since about 1950. - and

that may be stretchng it. There have been a few "good ideas" since

Well, there is a lot of press about obesity in the South. There are
lots of big old boys but they can usually pick up a car engine without
breaking a sweat.

I've never seen an electric power steering system, and never want to
touch anything made by Lucass.

Is that the junk the stuck the Marines with? The politics was that
it was cheaper to buy a design, because the Marines wouldn't need many.

And it has infect the minds of many Europeans. So much so that they
no longer expect quality from anything.

It was a fast plane, but a poor design. They spent wads of money to
build and maintain them, then junked the entire fleet. It was noisy and
very fuel inefficient. That forced the fares so high that they weren't
able to compete with better planes from multiple countries.

OTOH, I have met some nice women from England who got fed up and left

"Bad design" is debatable. Supersonic planes are inherently inefficient, and
the Concorde (which was actually a British-French design -- hence the name)
was expensive from the get-go.

You can't say it wasn't able to compete with other planes, because the
Concorde was the only supersonic transport. Even without the fatal accident,
the Concorde would have eventually gone out of business, as there just
weren't enough rich people or business who needed to zip to Europe and back.
