The cost of moving him to one of the empty 1st class seats would have been even less.
Honestly, why do they treat 1st class seating as if it's only for those with a special membership card? They will eject a passenger before putting them in a seat that costs nothing to have a butt in it.
In fact it may have created a PR bonus for them...

And short of spices the exact amount of the ingredients means nothing.
If you are obsessing about he inaccuracy of a cup measurement, you need to stop cooking. You can go over by 20% on major parts of a recipe and have almost no effect other than yield amount. When I bake bread, I dont use a recipe or even measurements, I dump in what I think is the amount I want to make and go from there. you can be off by 40% in the flour in bread making and still come out with a perfect loaf. French bread you can be off by almost 200%!
Bake or cook by taste, not exact measuring. you'll end up with a better product.
UPS's need the batteries REPLACED yearly on critical systems. If this has not been done the IT department has been slacking off.
decent UPS's (nothing you can buy at best buy) have ethernet or USB/serial monitoring plus notify the pc they are connected to that power was lost, Windows server can easily respond to that, initiate a shutdown and with it's last shutdown breath, tell the PUS to go offline.
Basically if you use 1U space of UPS for every 2U space of servers or powervault drive cages you will get incredibly close to correct UPS backup power ratio.
also if you have critical operations, not having a generator in place that will automatically run every week and give you a report is simply really bad planning.

Yup wierdstuff used to get lots of really good tech. Nowdays they simply look like a trashbin of useless junk at premium prices. They really have missed their heyday.
Railguns are great for single trajectory targets. It is useless against a cruise missile or a missile designed to adjust it's trajectory to try and avoid destruction.
I'f I was a missile guidance developer I'd add laser detection all around the missile and then add in code to do avoidance when detected.
You've never worked with COBOL in a mainframe environment, have you? At Cincinnati Bell Information Systems, there are billions of lines of COBOL, APL, PL1, Assembler, Forth, FORTRAN and God knows what else. You didn't write any NEW apps from scratch. You took what was written, modified to do "the new thing" and you were done.
and this lazy approach is why Y2K scared the shit out of all the banking companies. They have been reusing old broken code everywhere.
Why? because the managers were too stupid to allow code repository maintenance. Modules need to be reviewed regularly and resources spent to update them. Most companies dont... that code from 1972? USE IT!
And people like you are 100% useless when debugging.
If you dont know how to write the function you cant debug it. it's why I always eat the new CS grads lunch when they end up stuck. Because they use libraries and shortcuts everywhere.
Using Those are fine, but learn the damn skills. I cant believe how many CS grads cant code a network socket connection to save their own life.
I'm more sinister than you. I buy my CD's USED... Yup it's the same as slapping food out of the executives children, and sucker punching their mothers.
Buy them used, it pisses off the music industry more than piracy does.
Nope I DISABLED their backup by changing what it backed up. they NEVER CHECKED IT. which is the problem.
If you dont audit your backup systems regularly then you fail. If it's critical data like Accounting, then it's audited WEEKLY or even more frequent. In Fact it's a Sarbanes Oxley requirement, they were putting down that they were checking, (Even looking at the backup size would have tipped them off) when they were not.
I would have failed if they were doing their job. They were not and that is what I was trying to highlight.

that's just everyone in Brazil.
Kinda like how Orcut turned into a non starter for social media.
Just snap in half and stuff, the whiney toothpick in the seat next to you into the overhead compartment.
I'm not heavy and I buy two tickets. I don't want someone next to me.
If I had the cash that kevin has, I'd buy 2 extras so I have my own seatrow. Keep the damn dirty public away from me.

Inside every fat person there is a thin person... slowly being digested....
Mmmmmm, thin person......

It's been that way cince 1985. you don't work on cars much do you.
Android is fine, no touchscreen but a trackpad in back?? EPIC FAIL. this junk will never sell.
Most non-crap generators run their own test every week.
We forget ours except for hearing it start every friday at 10am and run for 30 minutes.
Runs on natural gas, it's completely hands off except for the maint company that comes in yearly to check it.
But in a data centre you don't face the risk of drowning and/or perishing.
Really? I dare you to stand in the datacanter for 25 minutes after I trigger the FM-200 system.
dont face the risk of perishing... you've never been in a real data center. That alarm goes off, you get out as fast as possible, or you are dead.
Not orderly, not carefully, you run as hard as you can to the exit, all oxygen in that room is going to be gone in 6 minutes.
That is why when the shit comes rolling down hill you throw the FNG manager under the bus...
"Yup, Lost a lot of data because $ASSHOLE told us to just pull the plug..."
I gladly throw managers and executives under the bus when they demand you to do stupid or illegal things. I take pride in it actually.
Bingo.

Yikes Comrades! they set us up the Fail Whale!
They fit it in a Delorean in the 80's fitting it in a 747 should be trivial.

How about naked with a bowl of jello?
They cant be afraid of losing FM until we have free broadband in our cars. I dont buy that argument and I've heard it many times.
90% of FM radio listening is in the car. so these streaming sources are not competing with FM.

Warner executives simply OOZE greed. Seriously they leave a slime trail they ooze it so badly.
Streaming like last.fm and pandora are NO DIFFERENT than listening to the FM radio.
This simply highlights how much of scumbags these people really are.
