  1. Why risk a pilot? on Discovery Channel Crashes a Boeing 727 For Science Documentary (latimes.com) · · Score: 2

    With all the risks associated with ejecting, and the long-established tech to fly/land aircraft remotely (or via autopilot) why even put a human on board?

  5. Re:It's ridiculous. on Huge Amounts of Oil Found On Gulf of Mexico Floor · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact that fining them doesn't work - in reality. Exxon still hasn't paid out on the Valdez, and no one's holding their toes to the fire to do so. Instead, they raised their pricing to make consumers bear the cost of a non-existent layout of $$$, which other oil companies then hiked pricing to match.

  6. And in a freak lab accident... on Dolly the Sheep Alive Again · · Score: 2

    The result was a Dolly Llama
