A coworker of mine was hosting a presentation on his laptop, but left on his Outlook notifications. Every time he received an email, a bubble would pop up over the right lower corner of the presentation for a few seconds with the subject of the incoming email. People's eyes are naturally drawn to things like that, so I knew everyone was reading his email subject lines, just as I was. I took out my mobile device and sent my coworker an email with the subject line, "Dave, you should turn off your Outlook notifications so ppl do not read them." I got big laughs.
These numbers are for the entire US fleet, including cargo, which tend to be older. Passenger airlines tend to fly newer planes, and a greater fraction of Airbus. If you fly in the US you have much greater than 18% chance of being on Airbus.
And in the rest of the world, that you probably didn't visit much, it's not "Airbus, Airbus, and Airbus". It's roughly 50/50.
I did not write "rest of the world". I wrote "Europe", which is true. There are other countries in the world that only buy Boeing (like Japan) because parts are produced there, making a balance of Boeing and Airbus. The point is not which is bigger Boeing or Airbus. The point is there is competition in the US, unlike Europe, Japan, etc, which is contrary to the content of the original post.
Who modded that comment to 5? It is all crap. The US has the biggest freest market in the world. It has cars from manufacturers all over the world. When you fly on a plane in the US there is a 50/50 chance that it is Boeing or Airbus. When I fly European airlines, what kind of planes are there? Airbus, Airbus, and Airbus. When I go to any other country the variety of autos is much smaller. I don't know who modded that up, but they have not been in the US.
webRTC is free, works well, and many sites require no login to use it. You just send people the link, and it works. And I could run my own server if I wanted to.

These eMMC flash chips are more reliable and robust than normal SD cards, the foundation claims.
I have found that SD cards, when used for an OS filesystem, tend to have pretty short life spans. This has led me to 1. Make very regular backups. If I do any significant modifications to a filesystem on an SD card, I dd the whole SD device to a backup file. 2. Recently I have been using Samsung's high endurance SD cards. More expensive, hopefully they survive longer.
I use OSMand, which is an Android app that uses Open Street Map. It works pretty well for navigation.
The best part is, unlike Google Maps, I can preload the entire maps onto my phone, like an actual GPS device, so I do not need a data connection to navigate. Also great is the Wikipedia feature, which automatically pre-downloads Wikipedia articles related to points of interest. On vacation I can walk/drive around, click on interesting things on the map, read the Wikipedia article, and appear amazingly educated, without a data connection. It started to drive my family nuts in Athens as I described the historical significance of everything.
But trade deficits aren't inherently bad... a trade deficit in the right circumstances can be very good...
for some people. A trade deficit with China is very good for the people of China who get jobs from making goods. The trade deficit is very good for corporations and wealthy Americans who take those goods and sell them to Americans. However, the trade deficit is very bad for average Americans who get neither of those advantages.
When I borrowed a quarter million dollars to buy my house as a rather young man, it made me really nervous, but everyone older than me told me it would be great! Housing values always go up! They did go up. Then they crashed in 2008. Shit. Fortunately I had a job and could keep making the payments, or may have had to be underwater, and bankrupt.
Almost all older adults will tell younger adults they have to get a college degree, even if they have to borrow money, and government programs help them do it. It must be OK right? It must be good advice, right? If some "financial advisor" gave the elderly such good investment advice as we give younger adults regarding housing and college, that "financial advisor" would be in jail.
who complain when women dress "inappropriately" in the workplace.
Nope, that is not I. I like when women wear tight little clothes in the workplace. Better view. But whether I like it or not, that does not change the fact that they do it, they like doing it, and arguing to the contrary is denying reality.
I love sshfs. It is incredibly easy and convenient and works in places where nfs would be really hard to implement. It allows me to mount any file system on the ssh server, including file systems that are NFS network mounted themselves. However, I have found that sshfs is not very fast or stable. The sshfs mounted file systems will sometimes hang, even when my ssh terminal sessions remain up. Maybe I should contribute to development.
complaints about how women's clothing doesn't come with pockets
Then they should buy different clothing. If women only bought clothes with large pockets, manufacturers would only make clothes with large pockets. I do not buy clothes that do not fit my 7" tablet. Reality: Women buy tight fitting clothes because they want to show off their rears, not big flappy pockets.
You need a citation that there are no dinosaurs? You must not get out much. And why is slashdot now filled with anti-science dumbasses modding me down?
A meteor struck the earth, clouded out the sun. Plants and other animals disappeared, and dinosaurs died from not having those resources. A meteor did not hit each dinosaur on the head directly. Instead of a meteor we now have humans destroying all the resources. We are heading for another mass extinction. https://www.washingtonpost.com...
dinosaurs drank and pissed out all the water on earth 14 times during a 250 million year reign on earth. Yet look! We still have water.
Earth will never run out of resources. Why?
But we don't have dinosaurs. Why? Because they died from lack of resources, dumbass. Resources are not infinite, and if we run out of them, then animals, such as humans, die.

Airbus is only 18.6% in the US (Boeing 43).

People keep bashing Mozilla and Firefox and I do not know why.
even though it was slower and buggier
On my computer Firefox starts faster than Chromium. I have also found more web sites on which Chromium will crater than Firefox.
The reality is folks, that Mozilla and Firefox are free and awesome.
From the Guidelines:
By contrast, to suggest that others use nonfree software opposes the basic principles of GNU, so it is not allowed in GNU Project discussions.
This is the kind of religious/political zealotry that turns people off CoCs!
(Just kidding BTW. I personally avoid nonfree software to an extreme.)

They got an offer far in excess of their domain registration fees.
They got greedy and threw the dice.
Greedy indeed! They asked for 8 lifetime Packers season tickets! They may as well have asked for Bill Gate's liver.

Preach it, brother.
So many web pages are so full of crap, it is hard to measure.

Who are the morons who modded you up?
Because the NSA never taps the expertise of researchers outside of their own walls? That is preposterous.
Exploits are like any other commodity. You go to the people who have them, regardless of who they are.
I have tried several RSS addons for Firefox. Feedbro works well. It is how I read all my news across many web sites.

Works in many browsers.
You can host it yourself if you want to.
No, not really. Sorry.
Why fly to New York to visit your relatives? Just put them on video chat.
And you know they will turn those damn monitors whenever the captain speaks, or the safety video is on, or they show advertisements, or etc. etc.
