As well as the obvious safety benefits, this breakthrough could make it possible to design lighter aeroplanes in future. This would lead to fuel savings, cutting costs for airlines and passengers and reducing carbon emissions too.
This is my friend article, I don't believe you've met before.
making assumptions does not mean that you are begging the question. yes assumptions are made when people beg the question but that does not mean that every asumption is an example of BTQ.
"Begging the question" has a somewhat ambiguous definition in terms of modern usage. In the end, I think that being nitpicky about it is somewhat like being nitpicky about ending sentences with prepositions (a completely arbitrary rule). I mean, you wouldn't argue that "gay" still (only) means lighthearted and carefree, would you? Language evolves. the nice people at begthequestion.info have already answered this so i'll just paste their well written reply.
Shouldn't we accept that words change in meaning over time?
True, words like "cool" and "gay" gained new meaning via a process of modern association with their understood meanings, but BTQ abuse rises from a misunderstanding of its original use. It would be as though people started using "the die is cast" to mean dying, simply because the word "die" is in there, without any knowledge of Caesar. Is there any idiom -- not a single word, but a full phrase -- whose meaning has changed over the years, simply by virtue of its being misunderstood by the linguistically inept or the historically ignorant?
But language is constantly evolving.
That's great to know! Descriptivist linguists, whom we do not fault for their stand, are quite free to watch as we bring about an evolution in the vernacular understanding of "begging the question."

If you have to choose a laptop specifically to have wifi work with linux doesn't that only reenforce the idea that linux isn't ready for the unwashed masses?
The International Business Times reported that GreeNYC's position is that the infinity apple symbol and the group's environmental approach were unique, a key word in the area of registered trademarks, and that there was no infringement. Apple has its own green initiative that uses their apple logo and also the word "greener" in the slogan.http://www.apple.com/environment/ Whether NYCs project counts as copyright infringement I don't know, but I can imagine how two different green initiatives with apples for logos and with green in their names could confuse someone. (we have instructions on fucking packets of ketchup for god's sake!)
As for the logos I honestly don't see the glaring similarities. A better man than I will have to make that call
The straw that broke the camel's back was the problems I had with formulas in Word for Mac on my brother-in-law's iBook. Nice machine but OO.o works much better for me Maybe you just worded your sentence poorly but you do realize that OO.o runs on a mac right?
and/or so you are saying that there is something about being an American that inherently makes you a supporter of foreign involvement? I would have thought that being an American who really really hates US foreign policy especially in regards to its wars would make you exempt from the hipocrisy.
Large media exposure is good marketing. No seriously, anything that gets your music out there to a large audience is a good thing. The more people that play videogames, the more this influence will be. Why would it be any different for games? What would make an interesting article is if music in videogames doomed bands to fail.
Apu works in a convenience store, he has an abundance of kids and he even says "Good rice, good curry, good Ghandi, let's hurry." as a blessing before eating. You can still claim he is the most visible and most respectfully written Hindu* character in mainstream American television but don't say there are never jokes about his race.
*Last time I checked wikipedia, Hinduism wasn't a race. I'll assume you meant to write Indian or something more relevant the racism claim.

The summary pushes the idea that there is only room for one dominant news system. Why? I think that we could benefit from a healthy mixture of news sources and journalism styles. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses and when someone takes information from both they get a better rounded idea of what actually happened and how to intrepret it.

I'm all for this. For a few glorious days every so often we can actually say that the majority of bit torrent traffic IS linux distros
and that's why they are watching TV in the first place?

I heard another cost cutting measure was to fill the medkits with OverTheCounter drugs instead of prescriptions. Godspeed!
