The question was what happens when there is a leak and you cannot breathe, not what happens if there is a complete loss of cabin pressure/air. Planes don't fly in a vacuum, but they do fly in substantially less air pressure, which is why we pressurize planes. If the capsule lost all air pressure then yeah, they're going to have a really bad time and air masks are not going to save them, but as another answered they would seal off the segment and provide local atmosphere.
That is Republican-style logic. Planes are not in a vacuum. I know you Republicans don't understand that, but planes are in the air. They do not fly in space. I repeat, and I'll try to type slower for you, they do not go into space. There isn't a vacuum around a plane when flying. After all, if it was a vacuum the wings wouldn't make life, but I wouldn't expect you Republicans to understand that. Please just stop posting. Your kind is ruining this site with your anti-science xian garbage.

Yeah, sure: he only wants radical leftists as 'running mates'.
Fuck you Larry for marginalizing what's otherwise a reasonably non partisan position on the 'brokenness' of government.
Of course, the last time someone tried attacking the machine, the Left Wing, the Media, and the "bosses" of the Right decided that none of them wanted such a message to succeed, so they cheerfully and successfully painted the Tea Party as right wing, racist, radicals.
He's a lefty so he is leaning to lefties. Would love the right to come forward with someone offering the same kind of promise. Then we can have our reform AND still vote for the candidate that appeals to our issues the most.
How many deaths will it take before we as a country demand proper upkeep and upgrade of infrastructure. We used to have the best infrastructure in the world. Power, transportation, communication (telegram, phone, internet), water projects, and etc. Is sad how things have gone downhill so badly.
How many deaths until we ban mass transit? Or at least enact reasonable mass transit control laws. You transit nuts are responsible for thousands of innocent children dying is massive slaughters like this.
32,000+ car accident deaths in the USA in 2013. 34 rail deaths in 2013.
We already have libraries full of books and ebooks. If Kindles could be loaned out like books and enough copies of ebooks were available for the additional demand, we could do this with much of the infrastructure we already have. Plus, by keeping the ebooks in libraries we ensure that each book can be read by dozens or hundreds of patrons.
There's money involved but the enforcement of laws is more important. No enforcement = no compliance. Yes this can be used for bad, but so can every single technology ever made. It's all about how it is used.
Comcast in our area was willing to run the line to an office if we paid for the cost of running the line. At the time they needed a new distribution hub with it so the cost was $60k+. 2 years later they changed their tune and did it for free in return for a 2 or 3 year business class internet contract.
Chances are good you'd need a hub in your subdivision so it isn't like running a single cable and daisychaining the houses will work. If you can get commitments from enough of the neighbors however, you may be able to get somewhere with the company. 10 homes wanting $100/mo cable+internet adds up to $1200/mo and $14,400/yr. That might get them interested. 5 of you wanting $40/mo Internet only isn't likely to get them interested.
“We have built the TOCs in separate locations to ensure redundancy in the case of a natural disaster or man-made incident,” says Frohwerk. “Should the Adler TOC go down, we would simply send the next shift to the Sochi TOC and carry on.”
So if a TOC is blown up, they'll just send the next shift to the other TOC and continue? Ummmm....
I turned 20 in September and will be celebrating my 5 year anniversary in IT in May. At age 15 I applied for a 20 hr/wk internship for an engineering firm doing simple tech support and "web page design" when it was still largely a new field. That 20 hr/wk job went 40+ during the summer and back to 20 hr/wk during the school year.
In a couple years I migrated up to consulting work for the company's clients as well as training and proposal writing. I started working FT right after I graduated high school @ 17. I then took a 3 month stint as an NT Administrator @ a.com (it died) and have been @ a very large financial firm
for a year.
While of the 4.5 "years" of experience I say I have, there is only about 3 years of full time experience, I am certain that I have learned and grown far more than many of my peers who have been in the industry twice as long as I have.
I would argue that anyone under 25 working in IT has had a situation where their ability or professionalism has been question... I know I have.
Reverse age discrimination is just as prevalent as the original
I started working at age 15 in the IT unit of an engineering company where the average age was at least 45. I did everything from building/repairing PCs to designing and administering networks and web sites and they were pretty nice to me but called me "junior" and sometimes seemed to discount my opinions due to my age.
Then I left for a small dotcom at 19 to do systems and web site admin, the average there was about 28-30. At the dotcom I was regarded as one of the great assests of the company because of how gifted I was for my age. I walked on water to those people. Too bad it went belly up less than three months later.
Now I work for a securities firm doing systems admin work. While the average age has crept up to around 40 again, the people respect me and value my opinions because I have been able to show them that I can perform in line with older, similarly experienced people.
What I have learned is this: You can be the greatest whatever in the world and have it be almost meaningless. Some places will see your age as a huge asset and some will see it as a disadvantage. The only thing you can do is try your hardest, kiss some ass, and wait your turn.
While it absolutely sucks to have to wait, just imagine what it will offer you. At some point your age will become a non-issue. When that happens, your experience will be so comprehensive that you will stand as the best candidate for that promotion or management position and you'll be compensated extremely well for it. For now, be happy with your $40k to $80k and keep on learning how the game is played by watching your superiors.

This is 2015. I go to Costco and see 3 TB for 66 dollars.
You are comparing a Ford Escort to a Ferrari.
